The crystallography of Pluto [PDF]
IUCrJ, 2020 Maynard-Casely and co-workers [IUCrJ (2020). 7, 844-851.] investigate two of Pluto's most abundant minerals with neutron diffraction. The new results will be key to understanding the geology of our distant neighbour and represent a significant advance in the emerging field of small-molecule geology.

Pluto: dazzling, dynamic, and so not dead [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPluto is not a frozen wasteland. It is very cold at ~ 40 K, but exhibits active geology and a dynamic atmosphere. Pluto is a beautiful example of active icy worlds we should expect to see elsewhere in the trans-Neptunian region.

Policy Perspectives, 2023 While the present invasion of Gaza by Israel in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (October 2023) is still ongoing, I want to alter our attention and ask whether Israel in its present form can survive this latest atrocity in Gaza.

Hindu Nationalism: BJP in Historical and Comparative Perspective of Fascism
Policy Perspectives, 2022 This article discusses fascism with a particular focus on Hindutva—the present day variety of fascism. It also touches upon various political fascist systems over the last 100 years and analyzes the conditions under which mass murder occurs.

AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF GREY INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON VHR IMAGE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 Grey infrastructure is an integral part of the urban environment. Continuous modernization of architecture, construction, routes or services in that region leads to more and more new grey infrastructure appearing.

Constraining Thermal Emission of Pluto’s Haze from Infrared Rotational Lightcurves
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The rotational lightcurves of the Pluto-Charon system were previously believed to be solely attributed to their surfaces. However, a proposed scenario of haze cooling suggests that the atmospheric haze of Pluto could significantly contribute to mid ...

Structure-function relationship of a plant NCS1 member--homology modeling and mutagenesis identified residues critical for substrate specificity of PLUTO, a nucleobase transporter from Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Plastidic uracil salvage is essential for plant growth and development. So far, PLUTO, the plastidic nucleobase transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana is the only known uracil importer at the inner plastidic membrane which represents the permeability ...

Re-examining the crystal structure behaviour of nitrogen and methane
IUCrJ, 2020 In the light of NASA's New Horizons mission, the solid-phase behaviour of methane and nitrogen has been re-examined and the thermal expansion coefficients of both materials have been determined over their whole solid temperature range for the first time.
