Characterisation of extraterrestrial samples by Raman and Electron microprobes
Introduction: Returned extraterrestrial samples, planetary, asteroidal or cometary, are so valuable that initial assessment of the most appropriate analytical protocols for each grain is essential. It is particularly important to know the distribution and interrelationships of specific mineral components. Numerous sophisticated microanalysis techniques are now available [1], yet many may damage...
متن کاملCurating performance installations
In this paper we will examine the use of the digital screen display as a primary form of accessing information within the museum context. We will argue that this mode of dissemination, achieved primarily through a Graphic User Interface (GUI) though highly efficient in providing contextual support, can be detrimental to a wider sense of social interaction and engagement between visitors, both o...
متن کاملSelf-Curating Databases
The success of relational databases is due in part to the simplicity of the tabular representation of data, the clear separation of the physical and logical view of data, and the simple representation of the logical view (meta-data) as a flat schema. But we are now witnessing a paradigm shift owing to the explosion of data volume, variety and veracity, and as a result, there is a real need to k...
متن کاملExtraterrestrial microbiology.
I N T H E E F F O R T of devising ways and means of studying the existence of living organisms on other planets, attention must be focussed on microorganisms. This is not entirely due to professi,onal prejudice of microbiology, but is the consequence of accepted realization that microorganisms are responsible for the major amount of turnover of matter on earth and that life of the higher plants...
متن کاملNanoscale infrared spectroscopy as a non-destructive probe of extraterrestrial samples.
Advances in the spatial resolution of modern analytical techniques have tremendously augmented the scientific insight gained from the analysis of natural samples. Yet, while techniques for the elemental and structural characterization of samples have achieved sub-nanometre spatial resolution, infrared spectral mapping of geochemical samples at vibrational 'fingerprint' wavelengths has remained ...
