Mars Global Surveyor Science Sampler Data Set Collection (VOLINFO) (12607 words)
The science observations were acquired during the descending leg of each orbit; that is, as the spacecraft moved from north to south.
Science objectives of radio science investigations include measurement of small perturbations in spacecraft velocity from Doppler shifts on transmitted signals, followed by inference of detailed gravitational fields from solutions of systems of simultaneous equations based on such measurements.
Many images on the MGS Science Sampler volume are more than 4,000 rows (lines) and it was thought that increasing the size of the images would potentially make it more difficult for investigators to display and use the images.
ScienceWeek (9472 words)
Perhaps the most intriguing is that the effective noise strength (or temperature) is internally generated and dependent on the state of the system, rather than imposed by an external temperature bath.
The authors suggest their results establish a causal relationship between telomere shortening and in vitro cellular replicative senescence, and that the ability to maintain normal human cells in a youthful state can have important applications in research and medicine.
They are essential for normal chromosome replication, and since their length shortens a bit with each replication, they are believed to be involved in the aging of the cell.
