Article Abstract

Earlier particle experiments in the 1970s on Pioneer-10 and -11 and Voyager-1 and -2 provided Jupiter flyby particle data, which were used by Divine and Garrett to develop the first Jupiter trapped radiation environment model. This model was used to establish a baseline radiation effects design limit for the Galileo onboard electronics. Recently, Garrett et al. have developed an updated Galileo Interim Radiation Environment (GIRE) model based on Galileo electron data. In this paper, we have used the GIRE model to reassess the computed radiation exposures and dose effects for Galileo. The 34-orbit 'as flown' Galileo trajectory data and the updated GIRE model were used to compute the electron and proton spectra for each of the 34 orbits. The total ionisation doses of electrons and protons have been computed based on a parametric shielding configuration, and these results are compared with previously published results.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on addressing postnatal depression in British South Asian women through a culturally adapted intervention called the Positive Health Programme (PHP), which utilizes group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered by non-specialist health workers.
  • The research involved a randomized controlled trial comparing the PHP with standard treatment, recruiting participants aged 16 and older who met the DSM-5 criteria for depression and had infants aged 0-12 months.
  • Results showed that the PHP aimed to assess recovery from depression at 4 months using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, indicating the need for accessible and effective mental health interventions for underserved populations.

The octopus coordinates multiple, highly flexible arms with the support of a complex distributed nervous system. The octopus's suckers, staggered along each arm, are employed in a wide range of behaviors. Many of these behaviors, such as foraging in visually occluded spaces, are executed under conditions of limited or absent visual feedback.

Background: Feelings of imposter syndrome (inadequacy or incompetence) are common among physicians and are associated with diminished joy in practice. Identification of modifiable factors associated with feelings of imposter syndrome might inform strategies to ameliorate them. To this point, though, no such factors have been identified.

Biological and artificial agents are faced with many of the same computational and mechanical problems, thus strategies evolved in the biological realm can serve as inspiration for robotic development. The octopus in particular represents an attractive model for biologically-inspired robotic design, as has been recognized for the emerging field of soft robotics. Conventional global planning-based approaches to controlling the large number of degrees of freedom in an octopus arm would be computationally intractable.
