The orbital and internal evolution of the ice-covered ocean worlds orbiting Jupiter Saturn are coupled, leading to time-varying thicknesses their ice shells. As thickens thins, thermal stresses in shell pressure underlying will change, promoting hindering fracturing shell. We identify when at what depth cracks initiate whether they can penetrate entire For an tensile strength 3 MPa, do not Euro...

Samples dredged from the Cruzeiro do Sul Lineament exhibit ferromanganese crusts precipitated above phosphate-rich substrates (phosphorites, phosphate-impregnated volcanic rocks and older phosphatized crusts). Co-chronology of crusts, paleontological data 87Sr/86Sr ratios substrate indicate that last phosphatization event in region happened between 17.6 14.6 Ma ago. When ceased, oxic conditions...

Context. Neutron stars in low-mass binary systems are subject to accretion when material originating from the companion star accumulates on surface. In most cases, justified and common assumption studying properties of neutron crust is fully accreted approximation. However, observations some X-ray transient sources indicate that original has not been completely replaced by material, but partly ...

AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of in vitro planktonic and immobilized cell models for determining the antimicrobial efficacy of common antimicrobial wound dressings. METHODS AND RESULTS Five strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were tested against four antimicrobial wound dressings containing silver, h...

Neutrinos, being the only fermions in Standard Model of Particle Physics that do not possess electromagnetic or color charges, have unique opportunity to communicate with outside through mass mixing. Such Model-singlet are generally referred as “sterile neutrinos”. In this review article, we discuss theoretical and experimental motivation for sterile neutrinos, well their phenomenological conse...
