Properties of Lunar Dust and Their Migration on the Moon

Space: Science & Technology
Lunar dust, the finest fraction of lunar regolith, has undergone important space weathering on the Moon. It not only serves as a record of the evolution of the lunar surface environment and the modification of mineral properties, but also influences the ...

Estimating the critical angle of top near‐surface layers on the Moon

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐surface characterization of the lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration and infrastructure development, particularly for the construction of underground habitats that provide protection against radiation and micrometeorites. However, conventional seismic approaches for estimating subsurface properties typically rely on prior ...

Six‐ and Twelve‐Month Changes in Body Composition and 24‐h Energy Expenditure After a Very Low‐Calorie Ketogenic Diet

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study assessed changes in body composition and 24‐h energy metabolism at 6 and 12 months after initiation of a 1‐month very low‐calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in women with obesity. Methods Seventeen women with obesity who completed a 1‐month VLCKD underwent a 4‐week transition phase with carbohydrate reintroduction, followed by

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Distinguish between Mare, Cryptomare, and Light Plains in Central Lunar South Pole−Aitken Basin

The Planetary Science Journal
We apply machine learning techniques to identify and map resurfacing units in the central South Pole−Aitken (SPA) basin using three Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission data sets: 321/415 nm and 566/689 nm band reflectance ratios from Hapke ...

Lunar science: An overview

Journal of Earth System Science, 2005
Before spacecraft exploration, facts about the Moon were restricted to information about the lunar orbit, angular momentum and density. Speculations about composition and origin were unconstrained. Naked eye and telescope observations revealed two major terrains, the old heavily cratered highlands and the younger mostly circular, lightly cratered maria.

Dietary Protein Reduction During Isocaloric Conditions Reduces Body Weight in Men With Overweight or Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
Protein restriction, while meeting minimum requirements, induced weight loss and increased FGF21 in men with obesity under isocaloric conditions, without caloric restriction. ABSTRACT Objective Dietary protein reduction increases plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and energy requirements in lean men under eucaloric conditions.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Orientale Basin as a Guide for Identifying Lunar Basin Datable Impact Melt and Assessing Impact Melt Differentiation

The Planetary Science Journal
Two fundamental questions face lunar scientists: (1) What is the absolute age of each lunar impact basin and thus the early impact flux curve? (2) To what degree did basin impact melt seas undergo differentiation? We compiled a 1:200,000-scale geological

Do cultural taboos regulate hunting in transitioning Indigenous communities? The case of the Idu Mishmi of Northeast India

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...
