  • Evidence for Thermal-Stress-Induced Rockfalls on Mars Impact Crater Slopes

The presence of these Thermal stress tracks shows that these rocks have fallen relatively recently because aeolian processes are known to infill Ices topographic lows over time. Mapping of rockfall tracks indicate trends in frequency with orientation, which in Solar radiation � � turn depend on the latitudinal position of the crater. Craters in the equatorial belt (between 15 N and 15 S) Weathering exhibit higher frequencies of rockfall on their north-south oriented slopes compared to their east-west ones. � Craters >15 N/S have notably higher frequencies on their equator-facing slopes as opposed to the other ori­ entations. We computed solar radiation on the surface of crater slopes to compare insolation patterns with the spatial distribution of rockfalls, and found statistically significant correlations between maximum diurnal inso­ lation and rockfall frequency.

Two ellipses located in the Mawrth Vallis region were proposed and evaluated during a series of meetings (3 for Mars2020 mission and 5 for ExoMars). We describe here the regional context of the two proposed ellipses as well as the framework of the objectives of these two missions. Key science targets of the ellipses and their astrobiological interests are reported. This work confirms the proposed ellipses contain multiple past Martian wet environments of subaerial, subsurface and/or subaqueous character, in which to probe the past climate of Mars, build a broad picture of possible past habitable environments, evaluate their exobiological potentials and search for biosignatures in well-preserved rocks. A mission scenario covering several key investigations during the nominal mission of each rover is also presented, as well as descriptions of how the site fulfills the science requirements and expectations of in situ martian exploration.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

Slope should be ≤30°to meet human mission requirements. Conclusions Traversability • 9 out of the 17 traverses analyzed met the slope criteria for human missions. • This region of Columbus Crater is traversable and allows access to regions of astrobiological interest. It is also a possible access point to other regions of Terra Sirenum.

  • Grid Mapping of Ice-Related Landforms in Acidalia Planitia, Mars
    Grid mapping of ice-related landforms in Acidalia Planitia, Mars Ernst Hauber1 Csilla Orgel2 Dennis Reiss3 Stephan van Gasselt4 Andreas Johnsson5 1German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, [email protected] 2Institut für Geowissenschaften, FU Berlin, [email protected] 3Institut für Planetologie, WWU Münster, [email protected] 4National Chengchi University, Taipei, [email protected] 5Dept.of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg, [email protected] Abstract Many young landforms in mid- and high-latitudes on Mars are probably related to ice, but their exact distribution and origin are still poorly understood. In an attempt to determine their extent and identify possible spatial relationships and genetic links between them, we mapped their distribution across a N-S traverse across Acidalia Planitia, following a grid-mapping approach. The general characteristics of Acidalia are similar to that of Utopia Planitia and Arcadia Planitia, which are known to host large water ice reservoirs. Keywords: Mars; permafrost; landforms; ice; climate; grid mapping. Introduction patterned ground in Utopia Planitia; Séjourné et al., 2011). Large quantities of excess water ice reside in the upper parts of the Martian crust in the northern hemisphere We aim at a better understanding of the distribution of (e.g., Plaut et al., 2009; Stuurman et al., 2016; Bramson et possibly ice-related landforms in Acidalia Planitia, the al., 2015). Although it is believed that this ice was third major lowland basin. Our goal is to identify deposited during phases of different obliquities (e.g., latitude-dependencies of such landforms and their Madeleine et al., 2009), it does survive over geological relation to each other as well as to external parameters time under current conditions (Bramson et al., 2017) and such as topography, and thermal inertia.

  • Towards Bioinspired in Vitro Models of Intestinal Mucus
    RSC Advances REVIEW View Article Online View Journal | View Issue Towards bioinspired in vitro models of intestinal mucus Cite this: RSC Adv.,2019,9, 15887 Lorenzo Sardelli, Daniela Peneda Pacheco, Anna Ziccarelli, Marta Tunesi, Omar Caspani, Andrea Fusari, Francesco Briatico Vangosa, Carmen Giordano and Paola Petrini * Intestinal mucus is a biological structure that acts as a barrier between the external environment and the epithelium. It actively selects nutrient and drug intake, regulates the symbiosis with the intestinal microbiota and keeps the epithelium protected from the attack of pathogens. All these functions are closely connected to the chemical and structural complexity of this biological material, on which its viscoelastic and diffusive properties depend. Many models have been proposed to replicate these characteristics using glycoproteins in solution and possibly the addition of other mucus components, such as lipids and other proteins. In the field of mucus modelling, an overall view of the mucus as a material, having its own viscous, rheological and diffusive characteristics, has been undersized with Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. Received 28th March 2019 respect to a pure biological-functional analysis. In this review, we propose a description of the mucus as Accepted 9th May 2019 a biomaterial, including a presentation of its chemical and structural complexity, and of its main DOI: 10.1039/c9ra02368b viscoelastic-diffusive properties, in order to provide a synthesis of the characteristics necessary for the rsc.li/rsc-advances engineering of more advanced mucus models. Introduction The European Union has moved towards increasing Replacement, Reduction and Rening (3Rs principle) of animal The intestinal microbial species, present in both physiological studies with other scientically validated alternatives, such as in This article is licensed under a and pathological conditions, affect multiple districts of the vitro models,10 as tools for high throughput screening, limiting human body.
