Forming Diverse Super-Earth Systems In Situ

In situ-forming hydrogels--review of temperature-sensitive systems.

In the past few years, an increasing number of in situ-forming systems have been reported in the literature for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, cell encapsulation, and tissue repair. There are several possible mechanisms that lead to in situ gel formation: solvent exchange, UV-irradiation, ionic cross-linkage, pH change, and temperature modulation. The thermosensitive ...

System Engineering Implementation Process for Super-Systems

System engineering is one of the most powerful tools for comprehensive project management and control. This tool emphasized the life cycle of the projects, manages every single activity and helps manage the main elements of the project through a set of management and engineering processes. The goal of the current study is to use a system engineering approach in design phase in order or to meet ...

See-coast: the Super-earth Explorer

The Super-Earth Explorer Coronagraphic Off Axis Space Telescope (SEE-COAST) is a space mission concept to be submitted to ESA call for proposals. It is devoted to the direct imaging, in the visible, of the stellar light reflected by its planetary companion. Here we present the type of planetary characterization we may accomplish with SEE-COAST, and we include a brief description of the spacecra...

Potential biosignatures in super-Earth atmospheres II. Photochemical responses.

Spectral characterization of super-Earth atmospheres for planets orbiting in the habitable zone of M dwarf stars is a key focus in exoplanet science. A central challenge is to understand and predict the expected spectral signals of atmospheric biosignatures (species associated with life). Our work applies a global-mean radiative-convective-photochemical column model assuming a planet with an Ea...
