Quantification of Sulfur Speciation in Apatites: Comparison of the XAS, XPS and EPMA Techniques

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Sulfur speciation in apatites has been determined by S K‐edge X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, S 2p X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). XANES provides the most sensitive and accurate quantification of sulfur speciation.

Rapid SLAM Method for Star Surface Rover in Unstructured Space Environments

Aerospace
The space environment is characterized by unstructured features, sparsity, and poor lighting conditions. The difficulty in extracting features from the visual frontend of traditional SLAM methods results in poor localization and time-consuming issues ...

ALANizer: Design and Validation of Experimental Lighting Rig for Studying Artificial Light at Night in Ecosystems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past few centuries, human activity has introduced astoundingly bright light to the environment at a rapidly accelerating pace. Artificial light at night (ALAN) has detrimental effects on a wide range of organisms, including arthropods.

Performance improvement of radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) by design optimization

Energy Conversion and Management: X
Lunar exploration requires a continuous supply of electrical power, independent of solar irradiation availability. This can be provided by Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG) which have been successfully deployed in various deep-space missions ...

Impact of light pollution on fishes: Mechanisms and ecological consequences

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is of growing ecological concern. By altering natural light regimes, ALAN affects the behaviour, physiology and life‐history of organisms. While research has largely focused on terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems are increasingly exposed.

Local Elites in Chile's Pisco Valley: Dispossession, Legal Mobilisation and Intertwined Citizenship

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In countries in the Global South, citizenship is often closely tied to access to water and land ownership. In Latin America, the literature has primarily explored social mobilisation and identity reconfiguration in response to development‐driven processes of land and water dispossession affecting peasants, rural and Indigenous communities ...
