Origine exogène des acides aminés prébiotiques / Exogenic origin of prebiotic amino acids

Bertrand, Marylène 29 June 2009 (has links)
Cette étude vise à conforter l’apport de matière organique extraterrestre via les météorites et les micrométéorites. Elle permet de mieux cerner les conditions dans lesquelles les molécules organiques, synthétisées dans l’espace, ont contribué à l’émergence de la vie sur Terre il y a environ quatre milliards d’années. Pour cela, des molécules organiques ont été exposées aux conditions de l’espace à bord de la station spatiale internationale et également irradiées en laboratoire lors d’expériences au sol. Par ailleurs, des molécules organiques associées à une argile, ont été soumises à des chocs mécaniques pour simuler des impacts météoritiques. Des acides aminés et des dipeptides ont été choisis pour ces études en raison de leur intérêt prébiotique et de la diversité des groupements fonctionnels qu’ils offrent. Des méthodes de fonctionnalisation pour l’analyse chirale ou non chirale de ces molécules par chromatographie gazeuse couplée à un spectromètre de masse ont été développées. Les expériences démontrent que la résistance des molécules à l’irradiation et à l’impact est fonction de la nature chimique des composés. De ce fait, le transport dans l’espace et l’impact météoritique pourraient servir de filtres moléculaires en favorisant certaines molécules au détriment d’autres. / This study concerns the transport to Earth of exogenic organic matter by meteorites or micrometeorites in order to better determine the conditions under which organic molecules synthesized in space contributed to the emergence of the life on Earth four billion years ago or more. Organic molecules were exposed to space conditions on board the international space station as well as in laboratory experiments. Moreover, simulated meteorite impacts on organic molecules associated with a clay were carried out to determine the survival of the organic components. Amino-acids and dipeptides were selected for these studies because of their prebiotic interest and for the diversity of their functional groups. Methods of derivatization for chiral and not chiral analysis of these molecules by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer were developed. The results of the experiments show that the resistance of the molecules to irradiation and to impact is a function of their chemical nature, and that transport in the space environment as well meteoritic impact could be used as molecular filters by favouring the survival of certain molecules rather than others.

Endogenic Production : subjective matter and bodily involvement

Ställborn, Nils January 2022 (has links)
The word endogenic means growing or proceeding from within, it is commonly used to describe the process of tectonic movement and earth crust formation caused by the extrusion of magmatic material. My project is a metaphorical exploration of the geological term “endogenic process” as well as an exploration of a design approach based on the term.The work explores soft form-bearing structures and textile bodies that contrast in relation to the hard framework of the rectangular room. It touches on material hierarchies in the living environment and the field of spatial design. The research explores the relationship between interior bodies and spatial frameworks. It aims to highlight the importance of the subject within the framework of the rectangular space that divides the interior of most buildings. My work involves exploring the endogenic process as a way of relating to the creative process and through the use of soft structures and drapery creating furniture that engages people with the spatial framework of the rectangular room. It is an exploration of spatial furniture that constitutes a connection and physical involvement between bodies and space, a kind of furniture providing a multiplicity of possibilities.
