Canine Olfactory Thresholds to Amyl Acetate in a Biomedical Detection Scenario
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019 Dogs' abilities to respond to concentrations of odorant molecules are generally deemed superior to electronic sensors. This sensitivity has been used traditionally in many areas; but is a more recent innovation within the medical field.

Age Aspects of Habitability [PDF]
International Journal of Astrobiology, 2016, 15(2), pp. 93-105, 2014 A habitable zone of a star is defined as a range of orbits within which a rocky planet can support liquid water on its surface. The most intriguing question driving the search for habitable planets is whether they host life. But is the age of the planet important for its habitability?

In situ organic biosignature detection techniques for space applications
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The search for life in Solar System bodies such as Mars and Ocean Worlds (e.g., Europa and Enceladus) is an ongoing and high-priority endeavor in space science, even ∼ five decades after the first life detection mission at Mars performed by the twin ...

Statistical Signatures of Panspermia in Exoplanet Surveys [PDF]
, 2015 A fundamental astrobiological question is whether life can be transported between extrasolar systems. We propose a new strategy to answer this question based on the principle that life which arose via spreading will exhibit more clustering than life which arose spontaneously.

Determination of Geochemical Bio-Signatures in Mars-Like Basaltic Environments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Bio-signatures play a central role in determining whether life existed on early Mars. Using a terrestrial basalt as a compositional analog for the martian surface, we applied a combination of experimental microbiology and thermochemical modeling ...
