Habitability and Multistability in Earth‐like Planets [PDF]

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2013
AbstractIn this paper we explore the potential multistability of the climate for a planet around the habitable zone. We focus on conditions reminiscent to those of the Earth system, but our investigation has more general relevance and aims at presenting a general methodology for dealing with exoplanets.

Fossils of an endangered, endemic, giant dipterocarp species open a historical portal into Borneo's vanishing rainforests

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Asia's wet tropical forests face a severe biodiversity crisis, but few fossils record their evolutionary history. We recently discovered in situ cuticles on fossil leaves, attributed to the giant rainforest tree Dryobalanops of the iconic Dipterocarpaceae family, from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Brunei Darussalam (northern Borneo ...

THE INNER EDGE OF THE HABITABLE ZONE FOR SYNCHRONOUSLY ROTATING PLANETS AROUND LOW-MASS STARS USING GENERAL CIRCULATION MODELS [PDF]

, 2016
Terrestrial planets at the inner edge of the habitable zone (HZ) of late-K and M-dwarf stars are expected to be in synchronous rotation, as a consequence of strong tidal interactions with their host stars. Previous global climate model (GCM) studies have

The extrasolar planet Gliese 581d: a potentially habitable planet? [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2010
The planetary system around the M star Gliese 581 contains at least three close-in potentially low-mass planets, GL 581 c, d, and e. In order to address the question of the habitability of GL 581 d, we performed detailed atmospheric modeling studies for several planetary scenarios.

Design Considerations for a Ground-based Transit Search for Habitable Planets Orbiting M dwarfs

, 2008
By targeting nearby M dwarfs, a transit search using modest equipment is capable of discovering planets as small as 2 Earth radii in the habitable zones of their host stars.

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

The cultural dimensions of sustainable development: A cross‐country configurational analysis

Sustainable Development, Volume 30, Issue 6, Page 1838-1849, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Our research emphasizes the need to explore the importance of cross‐country cultural differences in shaping sustainable development. We employ the fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to analyze cross‐national data, focusing on the relationship between Hofstede's six cultural dimensions and the sustainable development goals (SDGs)

Morphology and paleoecology of a hybodontiform with serrated teeth, Priohybodus arambourgi, from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

MAGNETOSPHERIC STRUCTURE AND ATMOSPHERIC JOULE HEATING OF HABITABLE PLANETS ORBITING M-DWARF STARS [PDF]

, 2014
We study the magnetospheric structure and the ionospheric Joule Heating of planets orbiting M-dwarf stars in the habitable zone using a set of magnetohydrodynamic models. The stellar wind solution is used to drive a model for the planetary magnetosphere,

The Habitable Zone of Inhabited Planets [PDF]

, 2014
Abstract. In this paper we discuss and illustrate the hypothesis that life substantially alters the state of a planetary environment and therefore, modifies the limits of the HZ as estimated for an uninhabited planet. This hypothesis lead to the introduction of the Habitable Zone for Inhabited Planets (hereafter InHZ), defined here as the region where ...
