Anisotropic Diffuse Radiation Model of Photovoltaic Systems

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Monthly incident diffuse energy—isotropic and anisotropic models. ABSTRACT The diffuse solar radiation is a component of the global solar radiation and may contribute a significant percentage (50% and above in some locations) of the electric output energy of Photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Resistance ofBacillusEndospores to Extreme Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Environments [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2000
SUMMARYEndospores of Bacillus spp., especially Bacillus subtilis, have served as experimental models for exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying the incredible longevity of spores and their resistance to environmental insults. In this review we summarize the molecular laboratory model of spore resistance mechanisms and attempt to use the model as

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Being an architect in an extraterrestrial environment

MOJ Ecology & Environmental Sciences
This article explores the concept of space colonization through the lens of architecture, with a focus on how design practices are evolving to support long-term human habitation beyond Earth. The idea of living in space has long captivated human imagination and has progressively transformed from speculative thought into a legitimate area of scientific ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Qualitative classification of extraterrestrial civilizations

, 2020
Abridged: The interest towards searches for extraterrestrial civilizations (ETCs) was boosted by the discovery of thousands of exoplanets. We turn to the classification of ETCs for new considerations that may help to design better strategies for ETCs ...

Bifunctional Electrocatalysts in Rechargeable Lithium‐Gas Batteries: Material Evolution and Mechanistic Insights from Metal‐Free Carbons to Carbon‐Supported Single‐Atom Sites

Small, EarlyView.
This review charts the material evolution of bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable lithium‐gas batteries. It highlights the journey from heteroatom‐doped, metal‐free carbon architectures to precision‐engineered carbon‐supported single‐atom sites. The discussion focuses on mechanistic insights into how these catalysts govern reversible O2, CO2,

Carbon Dioxide Splitting: A Summary of the Peer-Reviewed Scientific Literature

, 2008
Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have stimulated significant global research and development efforts regarding the reduction in CO2 emissions from all point and non-point sources. In addition to technologies that do not

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We
