[1] We used statistical properties of drainage networks on Mars as a measure of martian landscape morphology and an indicator of landscape evolution processes. We utilize the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data to construct digital elevation maps (DEMs) of several, mostly ancient, martian terrains. Drainage basins and channel networks are computationally extracted from DEMs and their struc...

Introduction: The discovery of hydroxyl [OH] and/or water [H2O] widely distributed on the lunar surface [1,2,3], outside of the permanently shadowed polar regions, adds significant evidence that the Moon is not completely devolatilized as had previously been assumed [4,5]. Lunar surface hydration is most likely an exogenic process, resulting from solar wind protons interacting with oxygen-rich ...

liberal thinkers believe that one of the main features of liberal public philosophy is the liberal state neutrality among competing attitudes of happiness. hence, one of the liberal ideals is that state refrains to determine the public goods and guiding people towards a particular virtue and so state remains neutral among opposition and competing views in this regard. by studying the books and ...

This work presents a critical assessment of the state and quality of knowledge around the aquatic photochemistry of humanand veterinary-use pharmaceuticals from laboratory experiments and field observations. A standardized scoring rubric was used to assess relevant studies within four categories: experimental design, laboratory-based direct and indirect photolysis, and field/solar photolysis. S...

Reproduction in iteroparous marine organisms is often timed with abiotic cycles and may follow lunar, tidal amplitude, or daily cycles. Among intertidal marine invertebrates, decapods are well known to time larval release to coincide with large amplitude nighttime tides, which minimizes the risk of predation. Such bimonthly cycles have been reported for few other intertidal invertebrates. We do...
