Présentation. Exobiologie, aspects historiques et épistémologiques
Cahiers François Viète, 2003 The definition of exobiology – the study of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the universe, as well as of related structures and processes – raises the problem of the link between current and past studies on the origins of terrestrial ...

“Freezing” Thermophiles: From One Temperature Extreme to Another
Microorganisms, 2022 New detections of thermophiles in psychrobiotic (i.e., bearing cold-tolerant life forms) marine and terrestrial habitats including Arctic marine sediments, Antarctic accretion ice, permafrost, and elsewhere are continually being reported.

How Can Linguistics Help to Structure a Multidisciplinary Neo Domain such as Exobiology?
BIO Web of Conferences, 2014 This chapter examines the contribution that corpus linguistics can make towards stabilising definitions within exobiology. By using the clues provided by natural language processing tools, linguists build an interpretation of contexts and try to show how

Genomic Features of the Bundle-Forming Heliobacterium Heliophilum fasciatum
Microorganisms, 2022 Eight species of heliobacteria have had their genomes sequenced. However, only two of these genomes have been analyzed in detail, those from the thermophilic Heliomicrobium (Hmi.) modesticaldum and the alkaliphilic Heliorestis (Hrs.) convoluta.

Ladderpath Approach: How Tinkering and Reuse Increase Complexity and Information
Entropy, 2022 The notion of information and complexity are important concepts in many scientific fields such as molecular biology, evolutionary theory and exobiology. Many measures of these quantities are either difficult to compute, rely on the statistical notion of ...
