Crop growth and viability of seeds on Mars and Moon soil simulants
Open Agriculture, 2019 If humans are going to establish a base on the Moon or on Mars they will have to grow their own crops. An option is to use Lunar and Martian regolith. These regoliths are not available for plant growth experiments, therefore NASA has developed regolith ...

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...
