VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Experimental Positioning for Stratospheric Vehicles
The usage of aeronautical radio-frequency navigational aids can support the future stratospheric aviation as back-up positioning systems. Although GNSS has been extensively redundant in the last years of space operations, radio NavAids can still be ...

Model Investigations on Electric Discharges over Balloon-Borne Stratospheric VLF Antennas
Long linear antennas for very low frequency radio transmissions, supported by aerostats, unanchored, and raised to high altitudes, present themselves as slow-moving, highly conductive disturbances in cloud layers, acquiring an electrical charge and being

Palliative balloon dilation of native coarctation of the aorta in a preterm infant [PDF]
The role of balloon dilation for native coarctation in neonates is controversial, due to the relatively high recurrence rate. Balloon dilation may however provide adequate palliation in preterm infants, by relieving symptoms and allowing somatic growth
