Artemis Audio

https://www.nasa.gov/artemisaudio/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nn202613 Teams across NASA are capturing the story of Artemis by recording mission activities—from interviews with subject-matter experts to behind-the-scenes audio during launches, testing, and operations. The Artemis Audio Library will continue to grow as new mission audio becomes available. Recordings include launch and mission operations sounds, ambient and environmental audio, and other field recordings from Artemis I, Artemis II, and related activities.

Artemis II: What’s on the Menu?

https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis/artemis-2/artemis-ii-whats-on-the-menu/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nn202613 The food flying aboard Artemis II is designed to support crew health and performance during the mission around the Moon. With no resupply, refrigeration, or late-load capability, all meals must be carefully selected to remain safe, shelf-stable, and easy to prepare and consume in NASA’s Orion spacecraft. Food selections are developed in coordination with space food experts and the crew to balance calorie needs, hydration, and nutrient intake while accommodating individual crew preferences.

Artemis II Launches to the Moon

https://www.nasa.gov/live/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nn202613 For the first time in more than 50 years, astronauts on a NASA mission are set to fly around the Moon. During Thursday’s approximately six‑minute translunar injection burn, Orion and its crew accelerated to break free of Earth’s orbit and began the outbound trajectory toward Earth’s nearest neighbor. Stay with us for continuing live coverage of Artemis II, the first crewed mission of NASA’s Artemis program.

Liftoff! NASA Launches Astronauts on Historic Artemis Moon Mission

https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/liftoff-nasa-launches-astronauts-on-historic-artemis-moon-mission/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nn202613 Spurred by American ingenuity, astronauts on NASA’s Artemis II mission are in flight, preparing for the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years. NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT Wednesday, sending four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. “Today’s launch marks a defining moment for our nation and for all who believe in exploration. Artemis II builds on the vision set by President Donald J. Trump, returning humanity to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years and opening the next chapter of lunar exploration beyond Apollo. Aboard Orion are four remarkable explorers preparing for the first crewed flight of this rocket and spacecraft, a true test mission that will carry them farther and faster than any humans in a generation,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “Artemis II is the start of something bigger than any one mission. It marks our return to the Moon, not just to visit, but to eventually stay on our Moon Base, and lays the foundation for the next giant leaps ahead.” The successful launch is the beginning of an approximately 10-day mission for NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. As the first crewed mission of NASA’s Artemis program, among its objectives, the flight will demonstrate life support systems for the first time with crew and lay the foundation for an enduring presence on the Moon ahead of future missions to Mars.

Systems biology approaches for multi omics integration using artificial intelligence Shubham Yadav [1] , Jagannath Mondal [2] , Monochura Saha* [1,3]

https://www.academia.edu/2837-4010/4/1/10.20935/AcadBiol8077 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing precision oncology by integrating and interpreting multi-omics data to uncover patient-specific biomarkers, predict therapeutic response, and guide personalized treatment strategies. AI-driven multi-omics integration faces challenges such as high dimensionality, data heterogeneity, and interpretability, which are critical for effective translation to precision oncology. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and future trajectory of AI and ML in integrated multi-omics analysis for cancer research. The discussion explores the application of AI/ML across key omics modalities, including bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and genomics, highlighting both individual and combined analytical approaches. The report elucidates advanced integration methodologies, including deconvolution, label transfer, and spatial mapping, alongside the inherent challenges of data heterogeneity, high dimensionality, and interpretability. Here, we further investigate real-world barriers to clinical translation, regulatory and ethical challenges, and demonstrate significant clinical impact through compelling case studies. This review explores current research gaps and outlines future directions, highlighting the contribution of AI-driven integrated omics in enhancing precision oncology https://www.academia.edu/journals/academia-biology/articles?source=journal-top-nav

Assessing bioenergy sustainability through integrated environmental, social, and techno-economic dimensions María E. Raygoza-Limón* [1] , Gabriel Trujillo-Hernández [2] , José Alejandro Amezquita Garcia [3] , Abelardo Mercado-Herrera [2] , Jesús Heriberto Orduño Osuna [4] , Fabian N. Murrieta-Rico* [2]

https://www.academia.edu/2998-3665/3/1/10.20935/AcadEnergy8138 Introduction: Bioenergy stands as a dispatchable pillar of the renewable energy mix, yet its sustainability remains contested due to assessments that often isolate environmental, social, and economic–policy, or technological dimensions. This study develops and applies an integrated evaluation framework that jointly considers life cycle impacts, social outcomes, techno-economic feasibility, governance conditions, and technological maturity, with the objective of capturing the synergies and trade-offs that determine bioenergy’s real-world sustainability. Materials and methods: Using a structured evidence synthesis approach, we systematically screened, harmonized, and compared peer-reviewed LCAs, S-LCAs, techno-economic analyses, and institutional reports published between 2010 and 2025. Results: The findings confirm that bioenergy can deliver substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, with waste- and residue-based systems consistently outperforming crop-based fuels. Biogas and biomethane from wastes reduce emissions by over 85%, while sugarcane ethanol achieves ~78% reductions with favorable energy returns. In contrast, corn ethanol shows weaker performance (~35% reductions; EROI 1.5–2.5), largely affected by indirect land-use change and fertilizer-related emissions. Economically, biogas and biomethane are already cost-competitive (≈8–18 USD/GJ), whereas advanced sustainable aviation fuels, though capable of 60–90% abatements, still depend on stable policy support. Socially, bioenergy improves air quality and rural employment but risks land conflicts and labor vulnerabilities without safeguards. Technologically, integrated biorefineries enhance resilience, flexibility, and circularity when supported by market certainty and harmonized standards. Conclusions: Overall, bioenergy is conditionally sustainable: residue-based, circular, and well-governed portfolios can credibly underpin net-zero strategies delivering decarbonization, energy security, cleaner air, inclusive development, innovation, and long-term climate resilience while responsibly managing land and biodiversity trade-offs. https://www.academia.edu/journals/academia-green-energy/articles?source=journal-top-nav

A vision for Academia Earth and Planetary Science Claudio Faccenna* [1,2]

https://www.academia.edu/academia-earth-and-planetary-science/1/1/10.20935/AcadEPS8150 1. Introduction It is a pleasure to introduce Academia Earth and Planetary Science, an open-access, international journal dedicated to advancing our understanding of Earth and planetary systems across space and time. The Earth and planetary sciences stand at a critical juncture: unprecedented volumes of data, rapid methodological innovation, and increasing societal relevance demand new, integrative platforms for scientific exchange. At the same time, barriers to publication, disciplinary fragmentation, and uneven global representation continue to limit the full potential of our community. Academia Earth and Planetary Science was created to respond to these challenges. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, inclusive, and visible home for research that spans the deep Earth, surface processes, oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, and planetary analogs—recognizing that Earth’s evolution cannot be understood in isolation, but only within a broader planetary context. By emphasizing cross-disciplinary insight and integrative approaches, the journal aims to foster connections across traditional boundaries and to support research that addresses both fundamental questions and pressing geoscientific challenges. As the journal develops, our ambition is to establish Academia Earth and Planetary Science as a trusted and forward-looking venue that reflects the diversity, creativity, and global reach of contemporary Earth and planetary science. https://www.academia.edu/journals/academia-earth-and-planetary-science/articles?source=journal-top-nav

Imagining otherness in a marvelous world By Noel B. Salazar

https://www.academia.edu/165398378/Imagining_otherness_in_a_marvelous_world?email_work_card=title Why should we bother talking about medieval manuscripts in the twenty-first century? Works like the Book of the Marvels of the World continue to influence beliefs and practices in the contemporary world in ways that are frequently neglected or unappreciated.

Tras mi rastro Gregor von Rezzori

https://letrascorsarias.com/tienda/narrativa/tras-mi-rastro/ Hemos visto estos días una fotografía de Gregor von Rezzori que se sale de los parámetros de la mayor parte de las imágenes que se encuentran de él, que se mueven en el espectro que va de joven apuesto a anciano apuesto, pasando por galán maduro apuesto. En ella está al pie de las escaleras de lo que parece el porche de un jardín mediterráneo: mampostería irregular, madera rústica, árboles de sombra. Viste de blanco, pañuelo al cuello y sombrero de paja que deja ver unas enormes patillas. Con una mano saluda, en la otra porta una cabrita negra. Pertenece al rodaje de ¡Viva María!, una película francesa-italiana rodada en México por Louis Malle en 1965, donde interpreta a un mago de circo que vive en algún país imaginario de América Latina. La foto nos ha hecho pensar en otra película del mismo año, Campanadas a medianoche ( Falstaff) y con la misma actriz, Jeanne Moreau. Un Orson Welles de cincuenta años buscando en España el dinero necesario para seguir llevando al celuloide toda esa desbordante imaginación visual que Hollywood rechazaba. Welles engañando al productor español Emiliano Piedra, al que había prometido hacer una versión de La isla del tesoro que ni siquiera llegó a escribir. Un Welles de físico excesivo interpretando un personaje de Shakespeare que parece un retrato suyo en la que quizá sea su mejor película (al menos dijo alguna vez que era su favorita). Un artista desplazado, arruinado, utilizando su arrolladora personalidad para invertir cada céntimo en algo que llevarse a la cámara, en seguir adelante con su obra y su leyenda, si es que pueden separarse. No tienen mucho que ver la obcecación de Welles y el diletantismo de Rezzori, que escribió bestsellers, colaboró con superficiales revistas ilustradas y trabajó por supervivencia –la supervivencia de un dandi– para lo que él llamaba “los cerdos del cine” mientras bullía en él la necesidad de escribir algo que él considerara verdadera literatura. Pero resulta tentador emparentarlos bajo la luz del mito de lo crepuscular. Cada uno a su manera, testigos de algo que deja de existir. “Me siento como extraviado en el vestuario de un teatro: bajo montones de disfraces polvorientos y raídos. Podría ataviarme con cualquiera de ellos; sin embargo, ninguno encajaría conmigo”, escribía Rezzori en Monólogo del desorientado. Rezzori trabajó sobre una idea que llamó Epochenverschleppen: sentir que vivimos el presente, pero en nuestra vida, desde los valores hasta los muebles, se superponen capas del pasado que nos determinan. Ser anacronismos andantes. Gregor von Rezzori (1914-1998) nació en la Bucovina, una región oriental del Imperio Austro-Húngaro que fue anexionada a Rumanía y luego a la Unión Soviética. Su leyenda de apátrida errante dice que nació en un carruaje camino del hospital. Y el mundo que habían vivido sus padres dejó de existir, se convirtió en una pieza más del puzzle de entreguerras, esa época que él definió como los treinta años de guerra civil europea. Su vida está llena de nombres que remiten a esplendores pasados: Viena, Trieste, Przemisl, Dornbirn, Transilvania, Linz, Sarajevo, Leibach, Charnovitz –su ficticia Chernopol–, Budapest, Keckmet… enumera en un breve estudio sobre los cafés del imperio. Esa geografía, esas resonancias, están presentes en su obra. Su escritura es un trabajo de recogida de fragmentos de la vieja Europa, que se alimenta de la nostalgia pero su actitud aristocrática de ceja levantada, el humor y la ironía nos hacen sentir que todo aquello sigue vivo, al menos en su escritura, que es lo que nos importa. Ante la derrota de lo perdido, derrocha una especie de actitud de celebración. El pintor Georg Grosz –con quien compartió una crítica despiadada hacia la conciencia de la que se nutrió el nazismo– celebró ese tono en una carta comparando su obra con “la seriedad bestial” de Alemania. Junto a eso, su desapego del género humano cuando actúa como colectivo, el poder devastador del futuro.: “No se les puede reprochar a las bacterias que sean unos hongos desintegradores, esa es su función”, escribe. Cuando empezamos con esa manía nuestra de elegir nuestros libros favoritos del año, el primero fue su La muerte de mi hermano Abel. Unos meses después, nos visitaron José Aníbal Campos –que ha traducido la mayor parte de su obra– y su viuda, Beatrice Monti della Corte, galerista italiana con la que se instaló ya en la cincuentena en una casa en la Toscana que ella convirtió después en una acogedora residencia para escritores sobre la que ya hemos escuchado muchas historias. De Conatus acaba de editar ahora Tras mi rastro, las memorias que publicó unos meses antes de su muerte. En ellas está todo: el territorio perdido de la infancia, la tensión entre la recepción de su obra en Alemania como la de un escritor de entretenimiento y su voluntad de escribir gran literatura, la efervescencia cultural de entreguerras y el auge del nazismo, la historia con minúscula y con mayúscula. Hemos vuelto a disfrutar mucho dentro de ese mundo perdido, vagando por su memoria de cautivador y su estilo brillante.
