Nonlinear threshold behavior during the loss of Arctic sea ice
I. Eisenman, J. S. Wettlaufer
In light of the rapid recent retreat of Arctic sea ice, a number of studies have discussed the possibility of a critical threshold (or "tipping point") beyond which the ice-albedo…
Calculation of the relative metastabilities of proteins in subcellular compartments of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Jeffrey M. Dick
[abridged] Background: The distribution of chemical species in an open system at metastable equilibrium can be expressed as a function of environmental variables which can include…
Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light Years from Earth
Paul Kalas, James R. Graham, Eugene Chiang +6
Fomalhaut is a bright star 7.7 parsecs (25 light years) from Earth that harbors a belt of cold dust with a structure consistent with gravitational sculpting by an orbiting planet.…
Full Numerical Simulations of Catastrophic Small Body Collisions
Zoe M. Leinhardt, Sarah T. Stewart
The outcome of collisions between small icy bodies, such as Kuiper belt objects, is poorly understood and yet a critical component of the evolution of the trans-Neptunian region. T…
Natural Transfer of Viable Microbes in Space from Planets in the Extra-Solar Systems to a Planet in our Solar System and Vice-Versa
Mauri Valtonen, Pasi Nurmi, Jia-Qing Zheng +7
We investigate whether it is possible that viable microbes could have been transported to Earth from the planets in extra-solar systems by means of natural vehicles such as ejecta…
Geodynamics and Rate of Volcanism on Massive Earth-like Planets
Edwin S. Kite, Michael Manga, Eric Gaidos
We provide estimates of volcanism versus time for planets with Earth-like composition and masses from 0.25 to 25 times Earth, as a step toward predicting atmospheric mass on extras…
