The search for life signatures beyond Earth is one of the main objectives of space exploration. Studies of analogous terrestrial ecosystems have shed light on the limits of life and on the adaptations of microbial communities to thrive in these extreme environments resembling Icy Moons. However, their findings tend to…

'Lauren Blackwell Landon' 'Sheena I. Dev'] While there is a large body of research on social support in traditional work settings, less is known about how the unique context of long-term isolation and confinement affects perceived social support. The purpose of our research was to examine how perceptions of social…

'Andreas Nüchter' 'Gernot Grömer' 'Umar Iqbal' 'Aboelmagd Noureldin' 'Michael J. Korenberg'] Future planetary exploration missions will rely heavily on efficient human-robot interaction to ensure astronaut safety and maximize scientific return. In this context, digital twins offer a promising tool for planning…

The search for life elsewhere in the universe has remained one of the main goals of astrobiological exploration. In this quest, extreme environments on Earth have served as analogs to study the potential habitability of Mars and icy moons, which include but are not limited to hydrothermal vent systems, acid lakes…

People who work in isolated, confined, and/or extreme (ICE) environments often work in conditions which are physically and psychologically hazardous and limit access to resources and support beyond those immediately and locally available. These conditions introduce additional hazards and opportunities for worker…

We describe two operating modes for the same potentiostat, where the redox processes of hydroquinone in a hydrochloric acid medium are contrasted for cyclic voltammetry (CV) as functions of a digital/staircase scan and an analogue/linear scan. Although superficially there is not much to separate the two modes of…

'Alessandro De Gloria' 'Francesco Bellotti' 'Riccardo Berta' 'Robert S. Allison'] The recent SARS-CoV2 pandemic has put a great challenge on university courses. Electronics teaching requires real laboratory experiences for students, which cannot be realized if access to physical infrastructures is prohibited. A…

This paper proposes a digital potentiometer-based adaptive gas sensor interface for stable detection without signal saturation under extreme environmental fluctuations. Conventional fixed-gain circuits often suffer from limited dynamic range, leading to data loss when severe baseline drifts exceed ADC input limits. To…

Recent advances in electronics components such as microcontrollers and sensors, plus widespread availability of 3D printing, make it possible to construct all-in-one datalogger and control systems in purpose-built enclosures. In addition, microcontrollers can be easily reprogrammed for different purposes including…

Microclimatic stress strongly influences the ecological resilience of Vasconcellea stipulata (Toronche), yet current monitoring approaches rely on sparse measurements and lack real-time predictive capability. This work introduces an AI-enhanced virtual sensing framework based on laser-induced graphene (LIG) designed to…

'Cecilia Della Casa' 'Tobias Ackels' 'Andreas T. Schaefer' 'André van Schaik' 'Michael Schmuker'] Animals have evolved to rapidly detect and recognize brief and intermittent encounters with odor packages, exhibiting recognition capabilities within milliseconds. Artificial olfaction has faced challenges in achieving…

'Nicola Fossati' 'Omar Ferrari' 'Elena Beretta' 'Elisabetta Riva'] Title: Simple Summary Microclimate conditions and air quality in animal housing facilities are key aspects of animal welfare and require appropriate monitoring devices. For this reason, a multi-parameter device was developed that can be easily installed…
