  • Terrestrial Impact Structures Provide the Only Ground Truth Against Which Computational and Experimental Results Can Be Com­ Pared
    Ann. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 1987. 15:245-70 Copyright([;; /987 by Annual Reviews Inc. All rights reserved TERRESTRIAL IMI!ACT STRUCTURES ··- Richard A. F. Grieve Geophysics Division, Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario KIA OY3, Canada INTRODUCTION Impact structures are the dominant landform on planets that have retained portions of their earliest crust. The present surface of the Earth, however, has comparatively few recognized impact structures. This is due to its relative youthfulness and the dynamic nature of the terrestrial geosphere, both of which serve to obscure and remove the impact record. Although not generally viewed as an important terrestrial (as opposed to planetary) geologic process, the role of impact in Earth evolution is now receiving mounting consideration. For example, large-scale impact events may hav~~ been responsible for such phenomena as the formation of the Earth's moon and certain mass extinctions in the biologic record. The importance of the terrestrial impact record is greater than the relatively small number of known structures would indicate. Impact is a highly transient, high-energy event. It is inherently difficult to study through experimentation because of the problem of scale. In addition, sophisticated finite-element code calculations of impact cratering are gen­ erally limited to relatively early-time phenomena as a result of high com­ putational costs. Terrestrial impact structures provide the only ground truth against which computational and experimental results can be com­ pared. These structures provide information on aspects of the third dimen­ sion, the pre- and postimpact distribution of target lithologies, and the nature of the lithologic and mineralogic changes produced by the passage of a shock wave.

  • Icebreaker: a Lunar South Pole Exploring Robot Cmu-Ri-Tr-97-22
    ICEBREAKER: A LUNAR SOUTH POLE EXPLORING ROBOT CMU-RI-TR-97-22 Matthew C. Deans Alex D. Foessel Gregory A. Fries Diana LaBelle N. Keith Lay Stewart Moorehead Ben Shamah Kimberly J. Shillcutt Professor: Dr. William Whittaker The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh PA 15213 Spring 1996-97 Executive Summary Icebreaker: A Lunar South Pole Exploring Robot Due to the low angles of sunlight at the lunar poles, craters and other depressions in the polar regions can contain areas which are in permanent darkness and are at cryogenic temperatures. Many scientists have theorized that these cold traps could contain large quantities of frozen volatiles such as water and carbon dioxide which have been deposited over billions of years by comets, meteors and solar wind. Recent bistatic radar data from the Clementine mission has yielded results consistent with water ice at the South Pole of the Moon however Earth based observations from the Arecibo Radar Observatory indicate that ice may not exist. Due to the controversy surrounding orbital and Earth based observations, the only way to definitively answer the question of whether ice exists on the Lunar South Pole is in situ analysis. The discovery of water ice and other volatiles on the Moon has many important benefits. First, this would provide a source of rocket fuel which could be used to power rockets to Earth, Mars or beyond, avoiding the high cost of Earth based launches. Secondly, water and carbon dioxide along with nitrogen from ammonia form the essential elements for life and could be used to help support human colonies on the Moon.

The knapsack problem seeks to do this to profit, while the traveling salesman problem seeks to do this to the distance traveled. For the point, give this general term for mathematical processes, including maximization and minimization problems, which try to make some quantity as good as possible. ANSWER: optimization problems (accept word forms and other elaborations; prompt on maximization and/or minimization before mentioned) (2) Information about higher-order systems is predicted by analyzing this quantity for lower order systems in the CALPHAD method. A similar quantity to this one that holds volume constant is named for Hermann von Helmholtz. The formula for this quantity involves the product of temperature and entropy, subtracted from the enthalpy. For the point, name this measure of a reaction's spontaneity, a type of free energy symbolized G and named for an Englishman. ANSWER: Gibbs free energy (accept Gibbs alone after \free energy" is read; before then, prompt on energy; prompt on free energy; accept free enthalpy, but do not accept or prompt on enthalpy) (3) During one part of this process, the leptotene and pachytene stages occur, while another part involves the creation of chiasmata. This process increases genetic diversity through homologous recombination. In females, this process produces three polar bodies. This process goes through two of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. For the point, name this type of cell division that forms haploid cells, contrasted with mitosis.

  • Saudi Arabia
    Saudi Arabia For the last nine years, citizens of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have increasingly called for modernization, democratization, and the renewal of religious discourse to pave the way for the necessary institutional, constitutional, and legislative reforms to end discrimination against women and the Shiite minority. Rights activists have boldly established independent human rights organizations despite the official authorities’ hostile stance towards independent civil society. The authorities’ response to these calls has changed according to different levels of international pressure for reform following the terrorist attacks of September 2001. At times the government has shown a degree of tolerance, while at other times it has severely repressed reform advocates and independent human rights activists. King Abdullah’s assumption of power in August 2005 raised expectations of possible reform given his discourse, which focuses on four issues closely linked to human rights: women’s rights, freedom of expression, a fair judicial system, and religious tolerance. The king’s reformist discourse has allowed a broader margin for differences of opinion and permitted the emergence of voices critical of government policies, provided the critique does not extend to the king or the ruling family or encroach on Islam, religious institutions, or clerics. Nevertheless, the king’s discourse is not matched by sufficient political will and has been met with resistance by extremely conservative factions inside the ruling family, the security (291)

The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was established in resolution 1991/42 of the Commission on Human Rights, which extended and clarified the Working Group’s mandate in its resolution 1997/50. Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/251 and Human Rights Council decision 1/102, the Council assumed that mandate, extended and clarified it in its resolution 6/4, and most recently extended it for a three-year period in its resolution 33/30. 2. In accordance with its methods of work (A/HRC/36/38), on 5 January 2018 the Working Group transmitted to the Government of Saudi Arabia a communication concerning Waleed Abulkhair. The Government has not replied to the communication. The State is not a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 3. The Working Group regards deprivation of liberty as arbitrary in the following cases: (a) When it is clearly impossible to invoke any legal basis justifying the deprivation of liberty (as when a person is kept in detention after the completion of his or her sentence or despite an amnesty law applicable to him or her) (category I); (b) When the deprivation of liberty results from the exercise of the rights or freedoms guaranteed by articles 7, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 and

The antenna did detect static from storms, but it also picked up something else: radio signals coming from beyond our solar system. That discovery marked the birth of radio astronomy. By the 1960s, radio astronomy was thriving. In 1967, astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell detected a peculiar series of radio pulses coming from far out in space. At first, she and her colleagues theorized that the signals might be a message from a distant civilization. Soon, however, scientists determined that the signals must be coming from something called a neutron star (below)—a rapidly spinning star that gives off a radio beam from its magnetic pole, similar to the rotating beam of a lighthouse.
