Why radiation belts exist

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991
In this article, I describe some of the reasons for the existence of radiation belts around the Earth and other planets and some of their basic properties. A radiation belt is an important component of a larger and more complex physical system called a magnetosphere. In another article in this series [see sidebar] the similarities and differences among

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Technologies for equine welfare and performance monitoring under field conditions – Where do we stand?

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for comprehensive equine welfare assessments has become particularly evident amid ongoing debates about the social licence to operate in equestrian sports. During exercise, multiple physiological systems, principally the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, thermoregulatory, endocrine, and locomotory systems, undergo complex ...

Some consequences of intense electromagnetic wave injection into space plasmas [PDF]

open access: yes
The future possibility of actively testing the current understanding of how energetic particles may be accelerated in space or dumped from the radiation belts using intense electromagnetic energy from ground based antennas is discussed. The ground source

Statistical modelling of the variability of the electron radiation belts for long-term environment specification

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate
Specifying the electron radiation belts environment is crucial to enable satellite manufacturers and designers to adequately account for its harsh conditions, thereby mitigating risks of unforeseen malfunctions, data loss, and catastrophic failures that ...
