Hard rock dark biosphere and habitability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The discovery that most of the prokaryotic diversity and biomass on Earth resides in deep subsurface, calls for an improved definition habitability, which should consider existence dark biospheres other planets moons Solar System beyond. “interior liquid water worlds” some ice with waterless surfaces has piqued wide astrobiological interest, but sporadic mentions possibility life subsurface rocky recent habitability reviews a methodical effort to develop sufficient knowledge, both scientific technological, include our assessments. In this review we analyze developments methodologies employed characterize Earth’s continental hard rock prepare future exploration putative biosphere Mars highlight its importance when evaluating planetary habitability.

Between a rock and a hard place.
Developing small-molecule inhibitors against protein-protein interaction targets is among the most difficult challenges in contemporary drug discovery. Recent developments in our understanding of this problem, and in the knowledge and tools available to address it, give cause for renewed hope, but substantial challenges remain.
متن کاملA rock and a hard place.
A solution to get the problem off, have you found it? Really? What kind of solution do you resolve the problem? From what sources? Well, there are so many questions that we utter every day. No matter how you will get the solution, it will mean better. You can take the reference from some books. And the a rock and a hard place is one book that we really recommend you to read, to get more solutio...
متن کاملPillar Design in the Hard Rock Mines of South Africa
This paper gives an overview of the difficulties associated with the design of hard rock pillars in South African mines. Recent examples of large scale pillar collapses in South Africa suggest that these were caused by weak partings which traversed the pillars. Currently two different methods are used to determine the strength of pillars, namely, empirical equations derived from back analyses o...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Hard Rock Disintegration
This paper focuses on a numerical analysis of a hard rock (ore) disintegration process. A bit moves into the ore and subsequently disintegrates it. The disintegration (i.e. fracture of ore) is solved via a deterministic approach (FEM) and a probabilistic approach (FEM in combination with the SBRA Simulation-Based Reliability Assessment method, i.e. Monte Carlo simulations, stochastic inputs). T...
متن کاملENRICHMENT OF A HARD-ROCK GOLD ORE USING FLOTATION AND CYANIDATION
Gold deposits are varied regarding their geological and geochemical settings. Hence,their processing methods must be best organized for achieving the desired recovery of preciousmetals. In this research, two types of hard-rock gold ores, each with specific characteristics fromKouh-zar region (south of Damghan city) were subjected to mineral processing tests at thelaboratory scale. The reference...
