The microbial habitability of weathered volcanic glass inferred from continuous sensing techniques.
Basaltic glasses (hyaloclastite) are a widespread habitat for life in volcanic environments, yet their interior physical conditions are poorly characterized. We investigated the characteristics of exposed weathered basaltic glass from a surface outcrop in Iceland, using microprobes capable of continuous sensing, to determine whether the physical conditions in the rock interior are hospitable to...
متن کاملWater in volcanic glass: From volcanic degassing to secondary hydration
Volcanic glass is deposited with trace amounts (0.1–0.6 wt.%) of undegassed magmatic water dissolved in the glass. After deposition, meteoric water penetrates into the glass structure mostly as molecular H2O. Due to the lower dD (‰) values of non-tropical meteoric waters and the 30‰ offset between volcanic glass and environmental water during hydration, secondary water imparts lighter hydrogen ...
متن کاملMicrobial Habitability of Icy Worlds
F or most of Earth’s history, life was microscopic and, even today, microorganisms dominate the planet. Hence, we believe that, if life exists beyond Earth, it likely started as microorganisms and may remain at this stage. Much of contemporary astrobiological research focuses on the metabolic potential of microorganisms and their ability to inhabit extreme environments. The search for life beyo...
متن کاملHabitability on Mars from a microbial point of view.
Extraterrestrial habitability is a complex notion. We briefly review what is known about the origin of life on Earth, that is, life based on carbon chemistry and water. We then discuss habitable conditions (past and present) for established life and for the survival of microorganisms. Based on these elements, we propose to use the term habitable only for conditions necessary for the origin of l...
متن کاملthe effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran
در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...
