Development of a Martian in-situ hybrid rocket motor

open access: yes, 2020
One of the chief obstacles that has prevented a human mission to Mars is the excessive amount of mass that must be launched into low earth orbit to assemble the Mars-bound spacecraft. Since propellants alone account for 75% of the total mass requirements, a new concept has been proposed for both manned missions and unmanned robotic sample return ...

ORCHESTRATING DIFFERENCE AND SIMILARITY: Black Fungibility, and the Spatial Redrawing of Racial Categories in Spanish Colonial Morocco, Sahara and Guinea

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I dissect the spatial strategies through which the Spanish attempted to orchestrate both racial difference and similarity in the African colonies of Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea during the first half of the twentieth century.

Developing Workforce Capability in the Context of HR Ecosystem Learning

open access: yesHuman Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For many organizations, developing workforce capabilities is central as it involves refining critical human resource processes such as upskilling or the acquisition of new profiles. These processes are becoming increasingly complex to manage as organizations collaborate within larger work ecosystems. Surprisingly, little research has addressed

A Study on the Combustion Instability of the Hybrid Rocket Motor with a Diaphragm [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Korean Society of Propulsion Engineers, 2013
In this paper, the main cause on excitation of the combustion instability which may occur in the hybrid rocket motor with a diaphragm was studied. Hybrid rocket motor propulsion tests considering various experimental conditions such as with a diaphragm or not, a diameter of diaphragm, oxidizer mass flow rate, fuel length, etc were performed, and the ...

Multiplying Elements of Fragmentation? Polycentrism, the Launcher Crisis and the Future of Europe in Space

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the current controversies surrounding the European Ariane launcher and its implications for the future of European space governance. The Ariane program, historically a symbol of European technopolitical integration, faces mounting challenges due to delays, rising costs and increasing competition from private actors like ...

InterPLAY: A Framework to Describe Play and STEM Engagement at Exhibits for Young Children

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Play‐based STEM learning at exhibits is a feature of children's museums and science centers; yet little is known about how these exhibits support young children's STEM engagement. This study developed and tested the interPLAY Framework to describe play‐based STEM engagement at exhibits for young children.

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based
