    Strike-slip faulting, wrinkle ridges, and time variable stress states in the Coprates Region of Mars

    Get PDF
    The existence of strike-slip faults was recently documented in two locations on Mars. Two clear examples are reviewed located southeast of Valles Marineris and preliminary evidence is presented for more widespread strike-slip deformation elsewhere in Coprates. The first two examples show that strike-slip faulting occurred in a broad zone east of the Coprates Rise spanning approximately 400 km east-west by perhaps 1000 km north-south. The last example suggests that the growth of major wrinkle ridges throughout Coprates may have been influenced by horizontally directed shear stresses and that more than one generation of ridges was produced. Thus, 'compressional' deformation of ridged plains south of Valles Marineris was spatially heterogeneous and a temporal change in stress may have been involved

    Technology development for lunar base water recycling

    Get PDF
    This paper will review previous and ongoing work in aerospace water recycling and identify research activities required to support development of a lunar base. The development of a water recycle system for use in the life support systems envisioned for a lunar base will require considerable research work. A review of previous work on aerospace water recycle systems indicates that more efficient physical and chemical processes are needed to reduce expendable and power requirements. Development work on biological processes that can be applied to microgravity and lunar environments also needs to be initiated. Biological processes are inherently more efficient than physical and chemical processes and may be used to minimize resupply and waste disposal requirements. Processes for recovering and recycling nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur also need to be developed to support plant growth units. The development of efficient water quality monitors to be used for process control and environmental monitoring also needs to be initiated

    Late Noachian development of the Coprates rise, Mars

    Get PDF
    The Coprates rise forms a 900 km long, north to northeast trending ridge south of Coprates Chasma between long. 56 and 60 degs. Radar and stereo photogrammetric data indicate that the rise is 2 to 4 km above a neighboring trough to the east. The break in slope between the rise and this trough is well defined topographically and in Viking images. In turn, the trough is bordered to the to the east at long. 52 deg by a much gentler rise. West of the Coprates rise, the terrain dips about 0.2 deg to roughly long. 75 deg. The rise and flanking highs were previously interpreted to be tilted fault blocks formed by either Tharsis tectonism or an ancient impact. Results are now reported of a preliminary geologic study that documents Late Noachian growth of the Coprates rise as a asymmetric fold. More comprehensive work will lead to a mechanical analysis of the kinematic development of the rise. It is concluded that the Coprate rise formed during the Late Noachian by 2 to 4 km of asymmetric uplift (steeper on its east flank). The timing is inconsistent with an origin by an early impact, but it coincides in time with early Tharsis centered radial faulting at Syria Planum

    MEVTV study: Early tectonic evolution of Mars: Crustal dichotomy to Valles Marineris

    Get PDF
    Several fundamental problems were addressed in the early impact, tectonic, and volcanic evolution of the martian lithosphere: (1) origin and evolution of the fundamental crustal dichotomy, including development of the highland/lowland transition zone; (2) growth and evolution of the Valles Marineris; and (3) nature and role of major resurfacing events in early martian history. The results in these areas are briefly summarized

    Race Car Passive Safety

    Táto práca uvádza všetky druhy pasívnej bezpečnosti v súčasnosti používané v motoristickom športe. Zaoberá sa ich vývinom, použitím, materiálmi z ktorých je daný prvok vyrobený, samotnou výrobou a testovaním bez ohľadu na konkrétnu kategóriu motoršportu. Snažil som sa v práci objasniť jednotlivé prvky z hľadiska funkcie, v čom tkvie ich výnimočnosť a čím sa líšia od prvkov pasívnej bezpečnosti používaných v osobných automobiloch. Aj keď má práca názov Pasívna bezpečnosť závodných automobilov, zmienil som sa v nej o ochrannom odeve jazdca keďže patrí medzi prvky, ktoré chránia jeho život v prípade havárie. Postupne sa zaoberám jednotlivými prvkami bezpečnosti od najvýznamnejších, ktoré pri nehode ako prvé preukazujú svoju funkčnosť až po prvky ako je nehorľavé oblečenie jazdca, ktoré sa snažia zmierniť následky nehody.This work presents all kinds of passive safety currently used in motorsport. It deals with their development, use, materials from which the element is made, the actual production and testing, irrespective of the particular category of motorsport. I tried to clarify the various elements in terms of function, what lies in their uniqueness and thus differ from those used for passive safety in passenger cars. Although the job title is Race cars passive safety, I mentioned in it about driver protective clothing as one of the elements to protect his life in case of emergency. Gradually, I deal with various aspects of security from leading to an accident as the first show its functionality to features such as fireproof clothing, seeking to mitigate the consequences of an accident.

    Implementing the Best Practices of Online Teaching and Learning into Your Virtual Classroom: Focus on Instructional Design and Pedagogy

    Get PDF
    When most educators went online in 2020, challenges arose when pivoting rapidly from a physical classroom to a virtual setting. Many had little time for professional development to envision what a great online experience looks like. This session focuses on online teaching and learning: pedagogy and instructional design fostering engagement and on behalf of the students
