Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...

Effects of Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy on Thermoregulation in Firefighters
Safety and Health at Work, 2015 Background: Heart attack is the most common cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service. Daily aspirin therapy is a preventative measure used to reduce the morbidity of heart attacks but may decrease the ability to dissipate heat by reducing skin ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Climate change, expanding human ignitions, and increased fuels from fire exclusion are driving increases in area burned and fire severity in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Increasing area burned is occurring against the backdrop of a large fire deficit caused by over a century of fire exclusion.

New Integrality Gap Results for the Firefighters Problem on Trees
, 2016 The firefighter problem is NP-hard and admits a $(1-1/e)$ approximation based on rounding the canonical LP. In this paper, we first show a matching integrality gap of $(1-1/e+\epsilon)$ on the canonical LP.

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has intensified the focus on lithium‐ion battery (LIB) fire safety, particularly the risks posed by thermal runaway (TR). This study evaluates the performance of a novel foam‐based fire extinguishing agent under two distinct application protocols: Protocol 1, employing intermittent short‐duration ...
