Abstract:

L’exploration spatiale effectuée par les missions orbitales et in situ a permis de mettre en évidence la grande diversité d’objets planétaires rencontrés dans le Système Solaire. Les propriétés de leurs surfaces et notamment leurs compositions sont d’excellents témoins des différents processus physiques endogènes et exogènes ayant façonné ces différents corps depuis leur formation jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Ma thèse a pour contexte l’exploration spatiale multi-échelle des surfaces de deux types d’objets que sont les astéroïdes de type-C et Mars. Les astéroïdes de type C sont des corps très primitifs

Abstract:

Les planètes rocheuses achèvent leur formation dans des processus collisionnels très énergétiques.L'énergie libérée lors des impacts majeurs a vraisemblablement fondu la surface des planètes, formant ainsi un océan de roches en fusion. Le refroidissement et la solidification de cet « océan de magma » conditionnent la différentiation chimique du manteau et la distribution des éléments volatils entre les différents réservoirs de la planète. C'est lors de cette phase évolutive, commune aux planètes rocheuses, que l'atmosphère est formée par dégazage des volatils et que les conditions initiales de

Abstract:

The length of a planet's `habitable period' is an important controlling factor on the evolution of life and of intelligent observers. This can be defined as the amount of time the surface temperature on the planet remains within defined `habitable' limits. Complex states of habitability derived from complex interactions between multiple factors may arise over the course of the evolution of an individual terrestrial planet with implications for long-term habitability and biosignature detection. The duration of these habitable conditions are controlled by multiple factors, including the orbital

It is clear that a planet's ability to support life is intimately associated with its physical evolution, but many aspects of this link have not been resolved. For example, differing geologic histories have the potential to drive large-scale differences in the chemistry of planets’ waters, with unknown implications for habitability. In this thesis, I link the geochemical evolution of Mars to the habitability of its associated evaporitic or brine environments, which have been widespread throughout the planet's history.

Mars Sample Return is the next major step in the search for life beyond Earth. Mineralogical studies have revealed a wetter, more dynamic Mars than previously considered; the past environments of Mars could have hosted life and the search for its remains is a major scientific preoccupation. The return to Earth of the very best samples requires an effective prioritization and selection process, thus there is a requirement for a triage instrument which examines mineral phases in situ to determine the habitability potential of a region and to detect important biosignatures contained in any rock.

Abstract:

In a multi-planet system, gravitational interactions cause orbital eccentricity variations. For non-resonant systems, classical secular theory reveals that the eccentricities are vector sums of contributions from several eigenmodes. Examination of the eigenvectors often reveals subsets of planets that interact especially strongly as dynamical groups. Perturbations from other sources, such as tides, are shared among the planets through the secular interactions. If one planet's eccentricity is tidally damped, all the eigenmodes damp so as to leave a signature on their amplitudes. Therefore, if o

E em se tratando de extremófilos, esses cálculos não foram limitados à Zona Habitável dos sistemas planetários, pois esse conceito foi estendido para uma região mais ampla, a Zona Extremófila, onde a vida pode existir. Extremófilos são micro-organis

Abstract:

One of the most important steps in the search for life on Mars is to determine if a specific sub-surface location it is "habitable", or that it provides the conditions and requirements to support life as we know it. In this thesis, I present a miniature, thermal-IR radiometer and reflectometer designed to determine temperature, the presence of water ice, and the discrimination of minerals, all necessary for a habitable environment. A dual use detector was selected for the thermal and five reflectance channels. The IR source is provided by five LEDs. These components were embedded in a thermall

Abstract:

It has been widely shown that the provider-based approach to the urban low cost housing problem in the developing world has ended in failure. It has not only failed to meet the demand for such houses but the costs of producing them are so enormous that they are hard to sustain. Worse, the beneficiaries of these houses do not even meet the affordability levels required even at their subsidised selling prices. Many causes have been suggested and recommendations proffered. Yet the urban housing problem remains as acute as ever while the approach is still actively pursued by some developing countr

Abstract:

Future human exploration missions beyond Earth vicinity will be demanding, requiring highly efficient, mass-constrained systems to reduce overall mission costs and complexity. Additionally, long duration transits in space and lack of Earth abort opportunities will increase the physiological and psychological needs of the crew, which will require larger, more capable systems to ensure astronaut well-being. As a result, the objective of habitat design for these missions is to minimize mass and vehicle size while providing adequate space for all necessary equipment and a functional layout for cre

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how increased global mean temperatures on Earth, induced by the increase in the luminosity of the Sun as it ages, change the types of habitable environments on the planet at local scales over the next 3 Gyr. Rising temperatures enhance silicate weathering rates, reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels to below the threshold for photosynthesis, while simultaneously pushing environments past the temperature tolerances of plant and animal species. This leads to the end of all plant life and animal life (due to reduced food, O₂ and H₂O availability, as well as higher temperatures)

Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que buscou verificar se as normas vigentes no Brasil para os alojamentos dos tripulantes de navios mercantes são efetivas em propiciar boas condições de habitabilidade e segurança. O processo utilizado para esta verificação foi o de comparar tais normas com recomendações e determinações de diversas fontes. A opção por este objeto de pesquisa se justifica uma vez que atualmente, após mais de duas décadas de decadência da indústria naval e da frota mercante brasileiras, há um grande número de navios em construção.

Abstract:

In the study of habitability of terrestrial exoplanets, both life-supporting conditions and the prevalence of transient life-threatening events need to be considered. One type of hazardous effect that has so far not received much attention is the thermal effect of a nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN), or in this particular case, the class of the AGN known as a quasar. In this work we investigate the thermal effect from a quasar by calculating the number of habitable terrestrial planets (HTP) in an elliptical or bulge-dominated galaxy, that goes extinct when exposed to the quasar radiation in

Abstract:

To explore the question of how race and design are related, I have developed a set of analysis strategies, involving props that are investigating objecthood and subjectivity. I use prototyping techniques and sketching in full scale. The design process contains three main investigation packages that ran parallel and was intertwined with each other, and resulted in a staged planetarian habitability (Mbembe, 2020) that communicates how to decolonize the African objects. The objective of this project was to investigate how to make stories about African design as well as identify how an African sp

La méthode d'enquête par entretien biographique compréhensif a donné lieu à 69 récits de lieux de vie. La « relation habitante » comprend deux dimensions : l'une, concrète, s'exprime spatialement dans les modes d'habiter ; l'autre, plus idéelle, renvoie à l'habiter. Ce travail explore les composantes et les mécanismes de la relation habitante, examine la signification du caractère polytopique des modes d'habiter. Il évalue aussi la place de la matérialité de
