Orbital dynamics of earth-orbiting 'smart dust' spacecraft under the effects of solar radiation pressure and aerodynamic drag [PDF]
, 2010 This paper investigates how the perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in presence of Earth's shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth centered orbits for swarms of SpaceChips, without the use of active ...

The solar tachocline: a self-consistent model of magnetic confinement [PDF]
, 2011 In this dissertation we consider the dynamics of the solar interior, with particular focus on angular momentum balance and magnetic field confinement within the tachocline. In Part I we review current knowledge of the Sun's rotation.

Aproveitamento térmico de coletor solar na desinfestação de substrato
Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, 2021 A desinfestação do substrato torna-se obrigatória na produção de mudas sadias e com vigor. No entanto, o tratamento convencional com agroquímicos pode ser insatisfatório, devido aos custos e aos riscos de vácuo biológico e intoxicação.

The Solar Wind Interaction with (1) Ceres: The Role of Interior Conductivity
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 As a potential “ocean world,” (1) Ceres’ interior may possess relatively high electrical conductivities on the order of 10 ^−4 –10 ^0 S m ^−1 , suggesting that the solar wind interaction with Ceres may differ from other highly resistive objects such as ...
