Post‐flight assessment of the OSIRIS‐REx Sample Return Capsule (SRC) for organic and other potential contaminants

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Water and hydroxyl on asteroid Bennu: Reconciling remote observations with OSIRIS‐REx sample analysis

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the spatial distribution and spectral characteristics of the broad hydration feature near 3 μm across the surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu using OVIRS (OSIRIS‐REx Visible and InfraRed Spectrometer) data. We analyzed multiple global OVIRS data sets obtained at different times throughout the Bennu day, revealing ...

Associations Between Body Composition and Metabolic Health in Children With Obesity

open access: yesMaternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Childhood obesity is an increasing public health problem with heterogeneous metabolic health outcomes. In children, distinguishing differences in body composition between individuals with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and those with metabolic syndrome (MS) may be useful for understanding the impact of body composition on metabolic health.

Investigating Azimuthal Anisotropy in the Angular Distribution of Solar Wind–sputtered Atoms

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The solar wind (SW) bombards the surfaces of airless bodies like the Moon and Mercury, inducing sputtering that erodes regolith and sustains exospheres.

The Ramadan Gambit: The Impact of Fasting on Cognitive Performance

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 2 billion people participate annually in Ramadan fasting, making its potential effects on cognitive performance important for workplaces, education and high‐stakes decision‐making. We study these effects in tournament chess, an incentivised, real‐world cognitive task in which move quality can be evaluated objectively by a strong ...

Impact plasma amplification of the ancient lunar dynamo

open access: yesScience Advances
Spacecraft magnetometry and paleomagnetic measurements of lunar samples provide evidence that the Moon had a magnetic field billions of years ago. Because this field was likely stronger than that predicted by scaling laws for core convection dynamos, a longstanding hypothesis is that an ancient dynamo was amplified by plasma from basin-forming impacts.

The role of antibiotics in preventing surgical complications in periodontology and implant dentistry

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in periodontal and implant surgeries, either before, during or after surgery, to prevent postoperative infection and reduce early implant failure. However, the potential benefits may be undermined by the risks of resistance and sensitization, thus requiring a strict indication for prescription.

Precious metal enrichment during impacts on the Moon

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Any sustained space exploration is likely to depend on the Moon and its resources. Understanding lunar mineral deposit potential, particularly for precious metals including Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd, and Au (the platinum group elements, or PGE) and their ...

Pervasive impact modification of pristine lunar clasts

open access: yesNature Communications
Lunar rock fragments, particularly those deemed pristine, have long been considered vital records of the Moon's formation and magmatic evolution. These fragments were thought to have largely escaped the Moon's intense impact history, offering a window into the early lunar crust. However, the concept of "pristine" is increasingly debated, as traditional

Diel release timing is a critical determinant of reef fish survival in Post‐larval Capture, Culture, and Release

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Predation is a dominant force shaping survival of coral reef fishes. Synchronous, nocturnal settlement during low‐light, new moon periods may have developed as an adaptive response to intense predation during settlement. Post‐larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR), where juvenile fishes are released directly to the reef ...
