Extraterrestrial Solar Neutrino Physics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
We advocate the extraterrestrial solar neutrino physics (etSNP) as a means of investigating solar neutrino physics (SNP). As we already know, the dominant and subdominant (vacuum) oscillation lengths would be approximately one kilometer and one hundred kilometers.

Volume measurement of microparticles using SEM photogrammetry and 3‐D reconstruction

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we introduce a method for volume measurement of microparticles that includes scanning electron microscope photogrammetry with 3‐D model construction. Our results show that our method limits the volume uncertainty to ±10%, which is a significant improvement compared to previous methods (which likely overestimated volume by 100 ...

Three‐dimensional morphological analysis of Chang'e‐5 lunar soil using deep learning‐automated segmentation on computed tomography scans

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Grain morphology is a fundamental characteristic of lunar soil that influences its mechanical properties, sintering behavior, and in situ resource utilization. However, traditional two‐dimensional imaging methods are time‐consuming and lack full three‐dimensional (3D) structural information. This study presents an automated deep learning‐based

Space-LLaVA: a Vision-Language Model Adapted to Extraterrestrial Applications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Foundation Models (FMs), e.g., large language models, possess attributes of intelligence which offer promise to endow a robot with the contextual understanding necessary to navigate complex, unstructured tasks in the wild. We see three core challenges in the future of space robotics that motivate building an FM for the space robotics community: 1 ...

Internalizing Null Extraterrestrial "Signals": An Astrobiological App for a Technological Society [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
One of the beneficial outcomes of searching for life in the Universe is that it grants greater awareness of our own problems here on Earth. Lack of contact with alien beings to date might actually comprise a null "signal" pointing humankind toward a viable future.

On the relationship between age and conspiracy beliefs

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on conspiracy theories has long turned a blind eye on the role of age in explaining conspiracy beliefs. Few studies include age and those that do have yet to consider how and why age matters when it comes to the spread of conspiracy theories.

Managing and mitigating future public health risks: Planetary boundaries, global catastrophic risk, and inclusive wealth

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.

A revolution is brewing: observations of TRAPPIST-1 exoplanetary system fosters a new biomarker [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The recent discovery of seven potentially habitable Earth-size planets around the ultra-cool star TRAPPIST-1 has further fueled the hunt for extraterrestrial life. Current methods focus on closely monitoring the host star to look for biomarkers in the transmission signature of exoplanet's atmosphere.

Bloodstain pattern dynamics in microgravity: Observations of a pilot study in the next frontier of forensic science

open access: yesForensic Science International: Reports
As humanity advances into a space-faring species, the risk of injury by multiple means and intentions will follow. Expanding understanding of how forensic science adapts to extraterrestrial environments is a novel and inevitable expansion into the next ...
