Psychrophiles and polar regions.
Most reviews of microbial life in cold environments begin with a lament of how little is known about the psychrophilic (cold-loving) inhabitants or their specific adaptations to the cold. This situation is changing, as research becomes better focused by new molecular genetic (and other) approaches, by awareness of accelerated environmental change in polar regions, and by strong interest in the ...
متن کاملDust production and mass loss in cool evolved stars
Following the red giant branch phase and the subsequent core He-burning phase, the lowto intermediate-mass stars (0.8 < M/M < 8) begin to ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Pulsations levitate material from the stellar surface and provide density enhancements and shocks, which can encourage dust formation and re-processing. The dust composition depends on the atmospheric chemistry (abund...
متن کاملThe Spatial Distribution of Cool Dust in Planetary Nebulae
We have observed a sample of eleven PNe using the PHT-C100 camera on ISO, obtaining maps at 60 and 100 m. The PHT-32 mapping mode was used, resulting in images of the PNe and nearby sky background. A preliminary reduction of the data has conrmed that the radial extent of the cool dust in general is similar to the optical nebula. Two of the PN in our sample have been clearly resolved at 60 and 1...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Earth ’ s Polar Regions
the public’s imagination, through the stories of past heroic explorations, the endearing wildlife, the awe-inspiring geography of the Antarctic ice sheets, and the unique modes of human habitation in the Arctic. Outcomes from the forthcoming International Polar Year (IPY) will highlight the scientific importance of the regions, emphasizing their key roles in the global climate system. Over the ...
متن کاملBiological Rhythms During Residence in Polar Regions
At Arctic and Antarctic latitudes, personnel are deprived of natural sunlight in winter and have continuous daylight in summer: light of sufficient intensity and suitable spectral composition is the main factor that maintains the 24-h period of human circadian rhythms. Thus, the status of the circadian system is of interest. Moreover, the relatively controlled artificial light conditions in win...
