Save the Earth VS Destroy the Earth is an interactive installation. Two structures, built with the skeletons of old monitors, are holding two world globes, plus a sign indicating on one Save the Earth and on the other Destroy the Earth. The audience is invited to mime the action to save or destroy the Earth becoming a part of the artwork. Every action is monitored and photographed, leading to t...

Bentonite bleaching earth is utilized for purifying used motor oil through a recovery process in order to improve the quality and stability of the final product. Indeed, spent bleaching earth is generated due to adsorbing oil impurities. Polluted spent bleaching earth contains 20-40% (w/w) oil and is flammable. Its disposal without pre-treatment leads to loss of oil along with environmental imp...

Earth-fill dams stability in steady state seepage condition is very important, especially during earthquakes. Numerical software analyses require accurate and realistic modeling of construction stages. Since earth-fill dams are constructed in different layers, so these conditions should be considered in software modeling to achieve a reasonable design. In this study, an earth-fill dam is modele...

Context. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are major eruptive events on the Sun that result in ejection of large-scale magnetic clouds (MCs) interplanetary space, consisting plasma with enhanced fields whose direction changes coherently when measured situ. The severity CME-induced geomagnetic perturbations and space weather impacts depends strength field (IMF), as well speed duration passage cloud ...

The list of detected near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is constantly growing. NEAs are likely targets for resources to support space industrialization, as they may be the least expensive source of certain needed raw materials. The limited supply of precious metals and semiconducting elements on Earth may be supplemented or even replaced by the reserves floating in the form of asteroids around the sol...

In 1998, NASA launches EOS-AM1, the first of a series of the Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites. EOS will monitor the evolution of the state of the earth for 18 years, starting with the morning observations of EOS-AM1 (10:30 a.m. equatorial crossing time). An integrated view of the earth, as planned by EOS, is needed to study the interchange of energy, moisture, and carbon between the land...

We prove that any C transformation, possibly with a (non-flat) critical or singular region, admits an invariant probability measure absolutely continuous with respect to any expanding measure whose Jacobian satisfies a mild distortion condition. This is an extension to arbitrary dimension of a famous theorem of Keller [37] for maps of the interval with negative Schwarzian derivative. We also sh...

Abstract Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne interferometry. Indeed, BECs enjoy slowly expanding wave function, display large spatial coherence and can be engineered probed by optical techniques. Here we explore matter-wave fringes of multiple spinor components BEC released employing light-pulses to drive Bragg processes induce phase impri...

Abstract NOAA has launched the Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) in partnership with Weather Enterprise (academia, government, and industry) to bring power of distributed innovation bear on one greatest challenges our time. EPIC provides a collaborative framework building upon community-driven Unified Forecast System (UFS) accelerate innovative improvements nation’s forecast system orde...
