Particle Astrophysics in NASA's Long Duration Balloon Program [PDF]
A century after Victor Hess' discovery of cosmic rays, balloon flights still play a central role in the investigation of cosmic rays over nearly their entire spectrum. We report on the current status of NASA balloon program for particle astrophysics, with particular emphasis on the very successful Antarctic long-duration balloon program, and new ...

The LCX is the most prevalent culprit vessel with acute complete occlusion in NSTEMI patients, yet it has little effect on clinical outcomes. This subset of patients may be predicted by STV5 + STV6 ≥ 2.5 mm and T‐wave imbalance. ABSTRACT Background Complete blockage of the culprit coronary artery is associated with 30% of NSTEMI (non‐ST‐segment ...

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is thought to result from incomplete resolution of pulmonary thromboemboli that undergo organisation into fibrous tissue within pulmonary arterial branches, filling pulmonary arterial lumina with ...

Study of the properties of Cosmic rays and solar X-Ray Flares by balloon borne experiments [PDF]
Indian Centre for Space Physics is engaged in pioneering balloon borne experiments with typical payloads less than ~ 3.5kg. Low cost rubber balloons are used to fly them to a height of about 40km. In a double balloon system, the booster balloon lifts the orbiter balloon to its cruising altitude where data is taken for a longer period of time.

To grow or to shrink: A tale of two rubber balloons [PDF]
Two identical rubber balloons are partially inflated with air (to different extent) and connected by a hose with a valve. It is found that depending on balloon volumes, when the valve is opened the air will flow either from the larger (fuller) balloon to the smaller (emptier) balloon, or from the smaller balloon to the larger one.
