Theoretical calculation of tidal Love numbers of the Moon with a new spectral element method

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022
The tidal Love numbers of the Moon are a set of nondimensional parameters that describe the deformation responses of the Moon to the tidal forces of external celestial bodies. They play an important role in the theoretical calculation of the Moon’s tidal

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

The Strategic Role of Sustainability Certifications: A Multi‐Theoretical Framework and Comparative Analysis in the Global Wine Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability certifications are increasingly embedded in the governance and competitiveness of the wine sector, yet their strategic role remains under‐theorised. This study conceptualises certifications as multidimensional strategic mechanisms and conducts a comparative analysis of 50 schemes used in the global wine industry.

Energetic neutral atom imaging of the lunar surface [PDF]

, 2013
Since the Moon is not shielded by a global magnetic field or by an atmosphere, solar wind plasma impinges onto the lunar surface almost unhindered.

Global Megaregolith Structure on the Moon from Gravity and Topography Data

The Astrophysical Journal
The megaregolith is a thick, highly fractured layer and plays a fundamental role in the Moon’s geological and thermal evolution. However, existing estimates of its thickness remain spatially discontinuous and lack global consistency.

Design and Motion Modeling of a Small-Scale Lunar Jumping Robot

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao
Jumping is a viable form of locomotion for lunar surface exploration. However, due to the limited research on the coupling between jumping robots and the lunar surface, applying jumping robots for lunar surface detection remains challenging.

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.

First 20 Years of Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry as the Mainstream Analytical Technique

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review traces the first 20 years of Orbitrap mass spectrometry as a mainstream high‑resolution and accurate‑mass (HR/AM) technology. It outlines the historical development of the Orbitrap analyzer, the evolution of major instrument families, and the key technological innovations that enabled its widespread adoption. Particular emphasis is

Degradation of the Lunar Surface by Small Impacts

, 2022
The surfaces of airless bodies like the Moon are bombarded by a steady stream of small impactors that lead to erosion of the topography over time. However, the rate of degradation from small impacts, a key parameter in interpreting the ages of present ...
