Habitability of Super-Earth Planets around Other Suns: Models including Red Giant Branch Evolution [PDF]
, 2008 The unexpected diversity of exoplanets includes a growing number of super- Earth planets, i.e., exoplanets with masses of up to several Earth masses and a similar chemical and mineralogical composition as Earth. We present a thermal evolution model for a

FlexMat, EarlyView.Addressing the challenges inherent in dry reforming of methane (DRM), this paper focuses on the structural design and performance optimization of Ni‐based catalysts. The modulation strategies for DRM are systematically reviewed across four dimensions: the micromorphology of active metals, metal‐support interactions, electronic modifications by ...

Silicate weathering and CO2 consumption within agricultural landscapes, the Ohio-Tennessee River Basin, USA [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Myriad studies have shown the extent of human alteration to global biogeochemical cycles. Yet, there is only a limited understanding of the influence that humans have over silicate weathering fluxes; fluxes that have regulated atmospheric carbon dioxide ...
