The homologies between the ISS-recovered genotypes and known terrestrial bacteria can be seen as evidence of co-evolution and gene transfers (HGT) within a biosphere that spans astronomical distances. On the one hand, the height of the ISS orbit at 400km can be argued as being too high for lofting surface microorganisms. However, there is a theory that purports to explain the possible transport of small particles from the troposphere into the lower stratosphere and ionosphere as a result of vortex motions as well as vertical flows (streamers), which are generated as a result of the development of the modulational instability in the ionospheric plasma. More research is needed to properly evaluate this proposal.","PeriodicalId":131060,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Astrophysics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129678094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonlinear Schödinger (NLS) equation is derived by employing the reductive perturbation method. The stationary solitonic solution of the NLS equation is obtained, and examined analytically as well as numerically to identify the basic features of the QEA envelope solitons. It has been found that the effects of the degeneracy and exchange/Bohm potentials of cold electrons, and superthermality of hot electrons significantly modify the basic properties of linear and nonlinear QEA waves. It is observed that the QEA waves are modulationally unstable for k < kc, where kc is the maximum (critical) value of the QEA wave number k below which the QEA waves are modulationally unstable), and that for k < kc the solution of the NLS equation gives rise to the bright envelope solitons, which are found to be localized in both spatial (ξ) and time (τ) axes. It is also observed that as the spectral index κ is increased, the critical value of the wave number (amplitude of the QEA envelope bright solitons) decreases (increases). The implications of our results should be useful in understanding the localized electrostatic perturbation in solid density plasma produced by irradiating metals by intense laser, semiconductor devices, microelectronics, etc.","PeriodicalId":131060,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Astrophysics","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117181981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
