The Cosmic Crystallinity Conundrum: Clues from IRAS 17495-2534

open access: yes, 2008
Since their discovery, cosmic crystalline silicates have presented several challenges to understanding dust formation and evolution. The mid-infrared spectrum of IRAS 17495$-$2534, a highly obscured oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star, is the ...

Damage evolution of surrounding sandstone rock under charging–discharging cyclic loading in the natural gas storage of abandoned mines based on the discrete element method

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study established a true triaxial numerical model of rock mass with the discrete element method and explored the crack evolution of surrounding rock of underground roadway gas storage during cyclic loading and unloading and the damage numerical model considering residual deformation.

X-ray Amorphous Components of Antarctica Dry Valley Soils: Weathering Implications for Mars [PDF]

open access: yes
The Antarctic Dry Valleys (ADV) comprise the largest ice-free region of Antarctica. Precipitation usually occurs as snow, relative humidity is frequently low, and mean annual temperatures are about -20C [1]. Substantial work has focused on soil formation

Study on the variation of the permeability coefficient of soil–rock mixtures in fault zones under different stress states

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A study is carried out on the variation of the permeability coefficient of soil–rock mixtures in fault zones under different stress states. Abstract As the first gold mine discovered at the sea in China and the only coastal gold mine currently mined there, Sanshandao Gold Mine faces unique challenges.

Moessbauer Spectroscopy for Lunar Resource Assessment: Measurement of Mineralogy and Soil Maturity [PDF]

open access: yes
First-order assessment of lunar soil as a resource includes measurement of its mineralogy and maturity. Soils in which the mineral ilmenite is present in high concentrations are desirable feedstock for the production of oxygen at a lunar base.

Digital reconstruction of three‐dimensional contours and its application to microstructural evaluation of postblast rock fissure surfaces

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In order to study the change rule of the fracture surface morphology after blasting, based on the improved cube covering method and the 3D contour digital reconstruction model, a quantitative microstructure characterization method combining the roughness evaluation index and the 3D fractal dimension is proposed, which is applied and validated in the ...
