On the Habitability of Aquaplanets [PDF]
Challenges, 2014 An Aquatic Habitability Index is proposed, based on Quantitative Habitability Theory, and considering a very general model for life. It is a primary habitability index, measuring habitability for phytoplankton in the first place.

Solidarity in the critical zone: habitability and the reconstruction of the sociological concept of solidarity [PDF]
Frontiers in SociologyClimate change is transforming not only the empirical conditions within which solidarity operates but also the sociological explanandum that the concept of solidarity has traditionally been called upon to explain. While classical sociology conceptualised

The Design of a Bioinspired Integrated Total Habitability Instrument for Planetary Exploration: A Review of Potential Sensing Technologies [PDF]
BiomimeticsOne key objective of astrobiology is to investigate and discover if other planetary bodies are habitable. The determination of whether an environment is habitable to known life requires measuring liquid water, CHNOPS elements, other nutrients, and energy

Current Biology, 2017 What is a habit? One problem with the concept of habit has been that virtually everyone has their own ideas of what is meant by such a term. Whilst not eschewing folk psychology, it is useful to re-examine dictionary definitions of 'habit'. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines habit as "a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Stellar and Atmospheric Habitability
Universe, 2022 Stellar activity and planetary atmospheric properties have the potential to strongly influence habitability. To date, neither have been adequately studied in the multiverse context, so there has been no assessment of how these effects impact the ...

Hard rock dark biosphere and habitability
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The discovery that most of the prokaryotic diversity and biomass on Earth resides in the deep subsurface, calls for an improved definition of habitability, which should consider the existence of dark biospheres in other planets and moons of the Solar ...

IDC theory: habit and the habit loop [PDF]
Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2020 AbstractInterest-driven creator (IDC) theory is a design theory that intends to inform the design of future education in Asia. It consists of three anchored concepts, namely, interest, creation, and habit. This paper presents the third anchored concept habit as well as the habit loop.

frontiers in Neuroscience, 2008 The neural circuits involved in learning and executing goal-directed actions, which are governed by action-outcome contingencies and sensitive to changes in the expected value of the outcome, have been shown to be different from those mediating habits, which are less dependent on action-outcome relations and changes in outcome value. Extended training,

Modeling Virus and Bacteria Populations in Europa’s Subsurface Ocean
Life, 2022 The search for life in the universe is often informed by the study of “extreme” environments on Earth, which provide analogs for habitable locations in the Solar System, and whose microbial inhabitants may therefore also serve as analogs for potential ...

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Origin of Life Scenarios
Universe, 2023 If the origin of life is rare and sensitive to the local conditions at the site of its emergence, then, using the principle of mediocrity within a multiverse framework, we may expect to find ourselves in a universe that is better than usual at creating ...
