Abstract:
As one of the key elements of the Space Exploration Initiative, the Moon provides a waypoint for scientific exploration and travel to Mars. The Moon’s stable ground in the vacuum of space is an ideal platform for astronomical observatories. Conditions on the Moon are similar to what human beings will face on other planets, so it is a natural test bed to prepare for a manned mission to Mars. A knowledge of the lunar environment is therefore important before undertaking any missions of construction, operations, and habitation on the lunar surface. The purpose of this paper is to review and assemble information on the lunar environment so that engineers and scientists can refer to this as they begin lunar-based engineering studies. The lunar environment is categorized into three major elements: lunar physical constants, lunar atmosphere, and lunar surface. The description of lunar size, orientation, period of rotation, and lunar month are all treated as part of lunar physical constants. Lunar atmosphere includes gas composition, pressure and density, solar flux and radiation, micrometeorite flux, and lunar dust. The geophysical and geochemical properties are provided as lunar surface characteristics. The geophysical properties include terrain characteristics, topography and surface tremors; soil and rock characteristics; mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. The chemical composition of the regolith and rocks are described in geochemical properties.

During crewed lunar landings, astronauts are expected to guide a stable and controlled descent to a landing zone that is level and free of hazards by either making landing point (LP) redesignations or taking direct manual control. However, vestibular and visual sensorimotor limitations unique to lunar landing may interfere with landing performance and safety. Vehicle motion profiles of candidate lunar descent trajectories were used as inputs to a mathematical model for orientation system function, to predict human perception of orientation and identify disorientating illusions. Simulations were conducted using the vestibular-only portion of the model as well as incorporating the activation of visual cues. Dust blowback from the descent engine was modeled as well. The NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator was used to experimentally investigate human orientation perception during manually controlled landing trajectories. Subjects were tasked with reporting perceptions of vehicle tilt angle and horizontal velocity. There were three treatment conditions studied: eyes closed (blindfolded), eyes out the window on simulated lunar terrain, or eyes on display instruments. It was seen in the vestibular-only orientation perception model that the acceleration profile of the descent engine throughout candidate trajectories is likely to create a somatogravic illusion. This illusion creates the perception of being upright even when the actual vehicle orientation is significantly tilted. The model predicts the underestimation of tilt angle for the candidate automated trajectories as well during maneuvers resulting from LP redesignation and manual control maneuvers. The activation of visual pathways in the model improved orientation perceptions, however misperceptions persisted when visual cues were limited such as prior to the pitch-over maneuver and during dust blowback. Results from the motion base simulator experiment are in agreement with the likelihood of the somatogravic illusion occurring without the astronauts' continued focus on instrument displays. Horizontal velocity was poorly perceived without reliable visual cues, both in magnitude and direction. Misperception of spatial orientation is likely to increase workload and may reduce performance and safety during landing. Countermeasures should be designed to minimize the risk of astronaut disorientation, including the design of advanced displays.

Landing is a dangerous and complex phase of any flight. Landing on an airless, dusty world presents unique challenges to perception, including dust blowback. During crewed lunar landings, astronauts will either be directly piloting the lander or supervising the automation in the event they need to take over piloting duties. An accurate perception of vehicle attitude is critical if the astronaut is to bring the craft down safely. We aim to study human perception of orientation under different visual cues using a helicopter simulator. We conducted a simulator-only lunar landing experiment with seventeen helicopter pilot subjects at USAARL utilizing the 6 degree-of-freedom moving-base UH-60 helicopter simulator. The subjects did not fly the simulator but continuously indicated his/her perceived pitch and roll angles throughout each trial by keeping a modified joystick aligned with Earth vertical, and the accuracy of the responses has been analyzed to determine the effect of visual cue on attitude perception. The subjects experienced recorded trajectories under five different visual conditions: no visual cues, out-the-window cues with no, medium, and high dust, and instrument cues. Regression models were fit to the correlations between the Subjects' indicated perceived pitch and roll angles and the simulator model pitch and roll angles. It was found that the no vision cue severely hindered the subjects' ability to accurately perceive craft attitude, while the instrument cue enhanced it. The effect of the different levels of dust, as compared to out-the-window no dust condition and the instrument conditions were not statistically significant, though they were better than no vision.

Abstract:
Behavioural investigations conducted since the Fifties have revealed that the amphipod Talitrus saltator can rely on both the sun and the moon as compass cues in its zonal recovery; recently, evidence for discrete endogenous oscillators underlying its time-compensated solar and lunar orientation has been also given. T. saltator is the first species shown able to obtain compass information by using only the skylight intensity gradient. Instead, it does not rely on the celestial polarization pattern despite its sensitivity to polarized light. Although discrete receptors detecting UV-blue and green light have been identified within its compound eye, neither the capability of this species to use the spectral pattern of the sky nor the regionalisation of its visual pigments (eventually indicating the existence of a DRA) has been investigated. Furthermore, investigations on the structure of its compound eye conducted so far are quite scarce despite the importance of the vision in the perception of orienting stimuli. Evidence for solar and lunar orientation has been provided also in the isopod Tylos europaeus. However, as opposed to its ability to orientate to the sun, its moon compass-based orientation has not been confirmed. The aims of this work are: 1) to deepen our knowledges on the use of the celestial gradients by T. saltator, 2) to evaluate the regionalization of its visual capabilities, 3) to assess the optical and functional structure of its compound eye, 4) to investigate the anatomical localisation of the time-keepers regulating the sun and the moon compass mechanisms, 5) to assess the existence of antennal time-keepers involved in celestial orientation and 6) to confirm the capability of T. europaeus to orientate to the moon. In this work, the first evidence for the use of the celestial spectral gradient as a compass cue by T. saltator was obtained. The skylight intensity profile has also been confirmed to constitute a reliable orienting reference and it has been shown that it exists a minimum threshold of the gradient effectively recognised and used. Instead, tests carried out did not point out a clear spatial distribution of the photoreceptors within the eye of this species. However, it has been revealed that the dorsal edge of the eye plays an important role in the perception of celestial factors. These results, along with evidence of straight ommatidia occurring in this area of the eye, suggest a regionalisation of the visual capabilities in T. saltator and are in agreement with the existence of a DRA. Furthermore, it was shown that this species mainly possesses hook-shaped ommatidia (except for the dorsal region of its eye) and it was suggested that their photoreception efficiency was enhanced by reflecting pigment cells localized between them. Moreover, it was found that the oscillators underlying the sun and the moon compass mechanisms are localised in separate localities. In fact, the antennae seem to be the anatomical site of the time-keepers responsible for the lunar orientation (although our results suggest that timing inputs from these oscillators are downstream integrated), whereas those involved in solar orientation are located elsewhere (probably in the brain). Intriguingly, present work provided first molecular evidence for time-keepers in T. saltator by revealing rhythmicity in the expression of core genes in both brain and antennae (thus supporting the existence of oscillators in these appendages). Finally, it has been fully confirmed the capability of T. europaeus to orientate under the moon and provided partial evidence for discrete time-keepers underlying the functioning of the sun and the moon compass systems in this species.

Abstract:
A urbanização é um dos fenômenos mais marcantes no Brasil e no mundo. Progressivamente, mais e mais pessoas vivem nas cidades, fato que gera um grande desafio: preservar o meio ambiente, respeitando aspectos culturais e concretizando a missão de tornar o espaço urbano um lugar de conciliação e inclusão. A valorização da escala humana e da condição das pessoas enquanto pedestres é premissa para a sustentabilidade urbana e para a saúde no (e do) nosso planeta. O ato de caminhar agrega independência e mobilidade aos indivíduos de todas as idades, enquanto contribui para a socialização e para promover ambientes urbanos mais limpos. Os idosos são parcela cada vez mais representativa da população mundial, inclusive nas cidades, e a qualidade de vida dos mesmos está diretamente relacionada às condições do ambiente urbano. Planejar e projetar espaços urbanos, com a devida atenção aos idosos, requer a implementação de atributos construtivos, ambientais e tecnológicos, entre outros. Esta cartilha foi elaborada para auxiliar municipalidades, comunidades e agentes em geral, responsáveis pela promoção da caminhabilidade de idosos nas cidades brasileiras, trazendo um referencial técnico para desenho do sistema de espaços públicos utilizados por pedestres idosos, assim como recomendações para facilitar a gestão desses espaços.

Abstract:
The novel as a great socio-literary institution, which projects the ideals of bourgeois class, becomes the maximum expression of modernity from the 18th century on. The genre, characterized by its malleability and ambivalence, reflects an individualistic and innovative orientation. In this sense, the novels of characters originate subtypes, as the Bildungsroman, whose paradigmatic model would be Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship (1795), by the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Since the novel is a genre in constant becoming, the concept of Bildungsroman undergoes problematizations and revisions and, today, it is possible to consider a novel of formation which includes ethnic, racial and sexual minorities. Some important steps in male Bildungsroman, such as fulfillment in love from several experiences and the discovery of a professional vocation and a philosophy of life, are still problematic in female novels of formation along the 20th century, due to the small space dedicated to woman in society, making her formative experiences more subjective, and culminating, in most cases, in the failed end of characters who cannot escape the webs of social oppresion. In this book I try to show that there is a process of subjectification of the female characters, in which the formative experiences occur through spatial and identity displacements, characteristic of modern times. Thus in the novels of formation from the 21th century – such as Pérolas Absolutas (2003), by Heloísa Seixas, Algum Lugar (2009), by Paloma Vidal, and Azul-corvo (2010), by Adriana Lisboa, – amid globalization and the dismantling of great utopias and truths, they experience other conflicts and problems resulting from the fluidity of human relations in modern times.

AbstractSince 1969 Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data have been collected by different observatories and analysed by various analysis groups. LLR is providing the longest time series of any space geodetic technique for studying the Earth-Moon dynamics. In recent years, observations have been carried out with larger telescopes and at infra-red (IR) wavelength, resulting in a better distribution of precise LLR data over the lunar orbit and the observed retro-reflectors on the Moon. The increased number of high-accuracy observations allows for more accurate determination of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) from LLR data compared to previous years. In this study we focus on ΔUT1 results from different constellations and compare our LLR solution to the IERS EOP C04 series.

Abstract:
Memoir, dedicated to the memory of Alexander Blok, Z.N. Gippius titled My moon friend. About Blok (1922). In this title, attention is drawn to the epithet lunar, which needs clarification. The semantic basis of the concept of the moon is a complex interweaving of subject conceptuality with mythical imagery and various centuries-old cultural associations. In Slavic mythology, the moon has long symbolized the female intuitive principle. In the era of the Silver Age, the experiments of the metaphorical, symbolist correlation of this heavenly body with the problems of gender, religion and culture are actualized. The author of the article focuses on two significant components of the memoir text of Gippius: firstly on the “lunar” connotations present in the writer’s creative thinking, and more broadly — in the philosophical consciousness of the Silver Age; and secondly, the central concept of the memoir is “the lost child”. These components determine the intentional orientation of the memoir image of Alexander Blok, created by Gippius. Her idea of the “lunar” in the character of the poet’s personality is determined by the mystical “femininity” with its spiritualism, melancholy, deception of opportunities that can be productive for the development of art, but which, due to the immaturity, and the inconsistency of the creative “rationality”, may turn out to be detrimental to the “right” choice of the model of social behavior by the artist.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Lateral accelerations require lateral forces. We propose that force imbalances in the unique Earth-Moon-Sun system cause large-scale, cooperative tectonic motions. The solar gravitational pull on the Moon, being 2.2× terrestrial pull, causes lunar drift, orbital elongation, and an ~1000 km radial monthly excursion of the Earth-Moon barycenter inside Earth’s mantle. Earth’s spin superimposes an approximately longitudinal 24 h circuit of the barycenter. Because the oscillating barycenter lies 3500–5500 km from the geocenter, Earth’s tangential orbital acceleration and solar pull are imbalanced. Near-surface motions are enabled by a weak low-velocity zone underlying the cold, brittle lithosphere: The thermal states of both layers result from leakage of Earth’s internal radiogenic heat to space. Concomitantly, stress induced by spin cracks the lithosphere in a classic X-pattern, creating mid-ocean ridges and plate segments. The inertial response of our high-spin planet with its low-velocity zone is ~10 cm yr–1 westward drift of the entire lithosphere, which largely dictates plate motions. The thermal profile causes sinking plates to thin and disappear by depths of ~200–660 km, depending on angle and speed. Cyclical stresses are effective agents of failure, thereby adding asymmetry to plate motions. A comparison of rocky planets shows that the presence and longevity of volcanism and tectonism depend on the particular combination of moon size, moon orbital orientation, proximity to the Sun, and rates of body spin and cooling. Earth is the only rocky planet with all the factors needed for plate tectonics.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the changing nature of calendar records in Mesoamerica, with a focus on the solar cycle. Maya E Groups exhibit solstice alignments during the Middle (1000-350 BCE) and Late Preclassic (350 BCE-0-CE), when calendar records were first being developed. Solar alignments also measured a 260/105-day subdivision of the year coordinating with the agrarian year and yearbearer calendar records show similar subdivision in texts from Middle Preclassic Oaxaca and some Late Preclassic long count texts from Veracruz. Although yearbearers also appear during the Late Preclassic in the Maya area, they are not incorporated in Maya long count records. By the time E Groups were fully evolved in Guatemala, Late Preclassic long count calendar inscriptions incorporate the 360-day tun and Tzolkin. In the Early Classic (250-600 CE), solstice orientations became less common and the calendar was increasingly complex with a fully developed baktun cycle and the lunar series. By the Late Classic (600-900 CE), texts increasingly emphasized period endings and katun rituals. In the Terminal Classic (900-950 CE), Tun-Ahau dating began to replace the long count, and the increasing importance of solstice orientations in the Postclassic (950-1200 CE) coincides with additional changes in the Maya calendar, most probably resulting from direct contact with Central Mexico.

Abstract:
At some sites with high tidal stream velocities there is an appreciable change in flow direction (‘swing’) away from 180 degrees between the two maxima of flow speed. In order to assess the performance of horizontal axis marine current turbines in non rectilinear currents, measurements of a model rotor have been made in a towing tank. Curve fits have been calculated as a function of the cosine of the yaw angle squared and the thrust as cosine of the yaw angle. The curve fits have been used in a case study to investigate the impact of fixed-orientation or yawing rotor designs on average annual energy output, at three locations in the English Channel. All three sites are of the type where flow is accelerated around a headland or cape, but their tidal streams vary in deviation from rectilinearity. For two of the sites — Portland Bill (Dorset, UK), Race of Alderney (Alderney, Channel Islands/Normandy, France) and St. Catherine’s Point (Isle of Wight, UK) — available data consisted of tidal stream diamonds printed on Admiralty navigational charts. These rely on local tidal elevations for interpolation of tidal streams. At the other site — St. Catherine’s Point, Isle of Wight, Hampshire — current meter measurements of duration one month were available from the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) at the location of a tidal diamond, allowing a direct tidal analysis. For the three sites, the available data were analyzed into harmonic constituents and then extrapolated into the future. For each year’s worth of predictions, the cubed speeds as a function of time were sorted into bins to form a histogram. The annual power output for each design of turbine was then calculated using the known performance at each value of cubed speed. This process was repeated for each year over an 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle in order to ascertain the inter-annual variation in power output.

Un remanso desde el que contemplar la naturaleza en un paisaje que tiene como telón de fondo al Mar Mediterráneo… se concibe la totalidad del territorio como materia de proyecto. Respetar al máximo el lugar, la naturaleza y potenciar al máximo la contemplación y disfrute de este entorno natural son los factores que determinan los puntos de partida en el diseño de esta vivienda. La idea de este proyecto nace de la propia morfología del lugar, proyectando desde y para el entorno. Bajo esta premisa se lleva a cabo la construcción de este edificio, supeditando el uso y la ubicación de la vivienda a la geometría de la parcela y adaptándose tanto a la orientación como a las vistas del solar. Proponemos una arquitectura de territorio, que la presencia de nuestra construcción impulse a imaginarse el lugar donde se erige. Un edificio que parezca estar fuertemente enraizado en el suelo, que de la impresión de ser una parte natural de su entorno. Como dice Peter Zumthor en su libro Pensar la Arquitectura: “Despierta toda mi pasión poder proyectar edificios que, con el correr del tiempo, queden soldados de esta manera natural con la forma y la historia del lugar donde se ubican.***A haven in which one can contemplate nature in a landscape with the Mediterranean Sea as backdrop... the entire territory is conceived as an additional material in the project. The respect to the settings and the surrounding nature, as well as maximizing both contemplation and enjoyment of this natural environment, are the key factors that determine the starting points in the design of this dwelling. The idea of this project arises from the own morphology of the site, designing from and for its setting. Under this premise, the construction of a detached house is carried out, subjecting the use and location of the house to the plot’s geometry and adapting it both to the site’s orientation and the views. We propose architecture of territory, that the presence of our construction impels us to imagine the place where it is erected. A building that seems to be strongly rooted in the ground, that give us the impression of being a natural part of its environment. As Peter Zumthor says in his book Thinking Architecture: “It awakens all my passion to project buildings that, with the passage of time, remain anchored in this natural way with the form and history of the place where they are located
