International Journal of Astrobiology, 2018 AbstractWe study the prospects for life on planets with subsurface oceans, and find that a wide range of planets can exist in diverse habitats with ice envelopes of moderate thickness. We quantify the energy sources available to these worlds, the rate of production of prebiotic compounds, and assess their potential for hosting biospheres. Life on these

Subsurface Texture Mapping [PDF]
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2006 Subsurface scattering within translucent objects is a complex phenomenon. Designing and rendering this kind of material requires a faithful description of their aspects as well as a realistic simulation of their interaction with light. This paper presents an efficient rendering technique of multilayered translucent objects.

Architecting Phase-Selective Interlayers for Stable SiO<sub>x</sub> Lithium Storage via Dual-Function Design. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Silicon anodes offer high capacity but suffer severe volume expansion. Silicon monoxide (SiO) buffers expansion, yet uncontrolled lithiation irreversibly consumes lithium as Li2O and oxygen‐rich silicates. Here, we design a layered SiOx featuring a phase‐selective conductive interfacial interlayer (PSCII), i.e., a Li4SiO4‐rich, ion‐accessible ...

Viruses in Subsurface Environments
Annual Review of Virology, 2022 Over the past 20 years, our knowledge of virus diversity and abundance in subsurface environments has expanded dramatically through application of quantitative metagenomic approaches. In most subsurface environments, viral diversity and abundance rival viral diversity and abundance observed in surface environments.

Separable subsurface scattering [PDF]
ACM SIGGRAPH 2012 Computer Animation Festival, 2012 Due to the parallel advances in hardware and software, graphics in games are continuously improving. Still, for a 60-fps game, everything contained in a frame must be computed in just about 16 milliseconds. Given this tight time budget, certain effects cannot be computed and are simply not simulated, sacrificing realism to reallocate resources to other

Introduction: energy and the subsurface [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016 This theme issue covers topics at the forefront of scientific research on energy and the subsurface, ranging from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sequestration to the recovery of unconventional shale oil and gas resources through hydraulic fracturing.

Reproducibility in Subsurface Geoscience
Earth Science, Systems and Society, 2021 Reproducibility, the extent to which consistent results are obtained when an experiment or study is repeated, sits at the foundation of science. The aim of this process is to produce robust findings and knowledge, with reproducibility being the screening tool to benchmark how well we are implementing the scientific method.

Origin and Evolution of Flavin-Based Electron Bifurcating Enzymes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Twelve evolutionarily unrelated oxidoreductases form enzyme complexes that catalyze the simultaneous coupling of exergonic and endergonic oxidation–reduction reactions to circumvent thermodynamic barriers and minimize free energy loss in a process known ...
