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

Advancing Model‐Based Systems Engineering in the Development of Naval Vessel Systems Architecture
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasing complexity of modern naval vessels due to technological advancements poses challenges for early‐stage ship design (ESSD). Developing well‐defined system architectures and adopting systems engineering approaches are essential to address these challenges.

Habitable Climates: The Influence of Eccentricity
, 2010 In the outer regions of the habitable zone, the risk of transitioning into a globally frozen "snowball" state poses a threat to the habitability of planets with the capacity to host water-based life. We use a one-dimensional energy balance climate model (

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

The Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets
Challenges, 2014 We have now confirmed the existence of > 1800 planets orbiting stars other thanthe Sun; known as extrasolar planets or exoplanets. The different methods for detectingsuch planets are sensitive to different regions of parameter space, and so, we are ...

The habitability of a stagnant-lid Earth
, 2017 Plate tectonics is a fundamental component for the habitability of the Earth. Yet whether it is a recurrent feature of terrestrial bodies orbiting other stars or unique to the Earth is unknown.

A 3200‐year weathering record of the Mekong River basin by sediments from the South China Sea
Boreas, EarlyView.The Mekong River is a mega‐river in East and Southeast Asia, and precipitation in its watershed influences more than 300 million people. However, the controlling factor in precipitation and weathering in the basin remains controversial. Here we present a high‐resolution record of weathering of the Mekong River basin over the past 3200 years by ...

K2-18b Does Not Meet the Standards of Evidence for Life
The Astronomical JournalK2-18b, a temperate sub-Neptune, has garnered significant attention due to claims of possible biosignatures in its atmosphere. Low-confidence detections of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) have sparked considerable debate ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Current knowledge of life in hypersaline habitats is mostly limited to sodium and chloride-dominated environments. This narrow compositional window does not reflect the diversity of brine environments that exist naturally on Earth and other planetary ...
