Heart rate (HR), systolic time intervals (STI) (pre-ejection period--PEP, left ventricular ejection time--LVET, PEP/LVET ratio indirect ejection fraction--EF, stroke volume--SV and QT interval of two cosmonauts (Leonid Popov--LP and Dumitru Prunariu--DP), were studied before, during and after an ergometric bicyle exercise test performed before and after the seven-day Soviet-Romanian orbital flight on the Soyuz 40--Saliut 6 Complex in May 1981. To this purpose one precordial electrocardiogram (Ecg) and the ear densitogram (Den) were recorded simultaneously. The method used permitted clear recordings even during exercise. Ecg and Den signals were stored on magnetic tape, processed in an analogue device and in a digital computer. The data obtained after landing suggest a slight cardiac deconditioning in LP, demonstrated especially by PEP augmentation, which was unchanged in DP corresponding to a better cardiac contractility. It is concluded that the seven-day orbital flight has not produced important cardiovascular alteration.

This paper investigates an integrated model-control scheme for large-scale spacecraft, focusing on orbit-attitude-vibration dynamics subject to strong time-varying coupling characteristics. The proposed scheme aims to achieve cooperative modeling and control for orbit maintenance, attitude stabilization and vibration suppression simultaneously. An integrated dynamic model is established using the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation and Lagrangian mechanics, where time-varying coupling terms are preserved to enhance model integrity, contrasting with the reduction and decoupling methods commonly adopted in existing literature.

Yield validation of dinitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) catalysts with N isotope labeling experiments is frustrated by the high cost of N and the frequent occurrence of NH and NO impurities in commercial N sources. Also, gas diffusion electrode (GDE) cell architectures are relevant to scaling NRR but underexplored and limited by ex situ product analysis methods. To overcome these obstacles, we develop and demonstrate a protocol for NRR catalyst testing using a scalable GDE cell architecture and specialized test station that facilitates in-line product analysis with multiturn time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

In the evolving field of advanced biopreservation technologies, the development of suspended animation (SA) is inspired by real-world challenges. In the context of space exploration, SA is seen as a solution to enable humans to undertake missions far beyond low Earth orbit, including routine travel to other planets in our solar system and beyond. While work on the socio-ethical and legal implications (ELSI) of space exploration continues to evolve, NASA has committed to make ethics a priority issue, making this a fruitful field for further examination.

Io experiences tidal deformation due to its eccentric orbit around Jupiter, which provides a primary energy source for Io's ongoing volcanic activity and infrared emission. The amount of tidal energy dissipated within Io is enormous and has been hypothesized to support the large-scale melting of Io's interior and the formation of a global subsurface magma ocean. If Io has a shallow global magma ocean, its tidal deformation would be much larger than in the case of a more rigid, mostly solid interior.

As the first group of tetrapods to achieve powered flight, pterosaurs first appeared in the Late Triassic. They proliferated globally, and by the Late Jurassic through the Cretaceous, the majority of these taxa belonged to the clade Monofenestrata (which includes the well-known Pterodactyloidea as its major subclade), typified by their single undivided fenestra anterior to the orbit. Here, a new taxon gen.
