Practical planet prospecting
A number of space missions dedicated to the search for exo-planets via the transit method, such as COROT, Eddington and Kepler, are planned for launch over the next few years.

To maximise the scienti...
متن کاملNotch Filter Masks: Practical Image Masks for Planet-Finding Coronagraphs
An ideal coronagraph with a band-limited image mask can efficiently image off-axis sources while removing identically all of the light from an on-axis source. However, strict mask construction tolerances limit the utility of this technique for directly imaging extrasolar terrestrial planets. We present a variation on the basic band-limited mask design—a family of “notch filter” masks—that mitig...

متن کاملProspecting for an HIV vaccine
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sets several challenges for the development of a preventative HIV vaccine. Predictable, protective natural immunity against HIV does not occur and so unlike most other diseases for which vaccines exist, there are few guideposts from natural infection. Nonetheless, six vaccine efficacy trials have occurred. One in particular, the Thai trial called RV144, showed...
متن کاملProspecting the future with AI
— If we were able to foresee the future, we could be prepared to reduce the impact of bad situations as well as getting the most of profiting periods. Our world is a dynamic system that evolves as time goes by. The number of variables that can influence in future situations outnumbers our capacity of prediction at a first glance. This article will show an alternative way to foresee potential fu...
