Heliotropic dust rings for Earth climate engineering [PDF]
This paper examines the concept of a Sun-pointing elliptical Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth's J(2) oblateness ...

Orbital dynamics of "smart dust" devices with solar radiation pressure and drag [PDF]
This paper investigates how perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in the presence of Earth shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth centred orbits for swarms of micro-scale 'smart dust' devices, without ...

A passive satellite deorbiting strategy for medium Earth orbit using solar radiation pressure and the J(2) effect [PDF]
The growing population of space debris poses a serious risk to the future of space flight. To effectively manage the increase of debris in orbit, end-of life disposal has become a key requirement for future missions.

T1–T2 microscale correlation relaxometry for in situ high-pressure nuclear magnetic resonance [PDF]
Over the last decade, frequency-domain in situ high-pressure nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in diamond anvil cells (DACs) has been employed as a structural and electronic probe of condensed matter systems at pressures well into the megabar

Field Study on Earth Pressure of Finite Soil Considering Soil Displacement
The classical earth pressure theory assumes a semi-infinite soil behind the wall, which is no longer applicable to the problem of earth pressure in the case of finite soil.

Using dimers to measure biosignatures and atmospheric pressure for terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
We present a new method to probe atmospheric pressure on Earth-like planets using (O-O) dimers in the near-infrared. We also show that dimer features could be the most readily detectable biosignatures for Earth-like atmospheres and may even be detectable

Orbital dynamics of earth-orbiting 'smart dust' spacecraft under the effects of solar radiation pressure and aerodynamic drag [PDF]
This paper investigates how the perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in presence of Earth's shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth centered orbits for swarms of SpaceChips, without the use of active ...

Thermodynamic Properties of MgAl2O4 Spinel at High Temperatures and High Pressures
Thermodynamic properties of MgAl2O4 spinel are significant in understanding the phase relations of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle, but available values from experimental measurements are limited at ambient pressure conditions to date.
