Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Signatures of galaxy-cluster interactions: Spiral galaxy rotation curve asymmetry, shape, and extent [PDF]

, 2001
Artículo de publicación ISIThe environmental dependencies of the characteristics of spiral galaxy rotation curves are studied in this work. We use our large, homogeneously collected sample of 510 cluster spiral galaxy rotation curves to test the claim ...

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Bridging Theory and Practice: Digital Twin Simulation of a Heat Exchanger in Laboratories for Engineering Students

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital twins serve as virtual replicas of physical systems. They can be used as a tool for engineering education by revealing the underlying principles behind unit operations. The project aimed to integrate digital twins into university engineering lab courses, complementing traditional methods by bridging the gap between experimentation and ...

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...

Galaxy rotation curves and dissipation

The Astrophysical Journal, 1989
Une theorie est proposee pour expliquer la tendance des galaxies a disque a manifester des vitesses rotationnelles constantes en considerant l'hypothese suivant laquelle la dissipation d'energie est le facteur principal qui determine les formes finales des galaxies a disque.

Mass Distribution in Rotating Thin-Disk Galaxies According to Newtonian Dynamics

Galaxies, 2014
An accurate computational method is presented for determining the mass distribution in a mature spiral galaxy from a given rotation curve by applying Newtonian dynamics for an axisymmetrically rotating thin disk of finite size with or without a central ...

Near‐Earth Cosmic Ray Modulation Index ϕ and Neutron Monitor Cutoff Rigidities at Hourly Cadence: Toward an Improved Monitoring of Solar‐Terrestrial Radiation Environment, Space Weather, and Space Climate

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic rays (CRs) are energetic particles originating from galactic and extragalactic sources. When arriving into the solar system and the Sun's heliosphere, they are diverted and modulated by the magnetic activity of the Sun. This modulation can be quantified by the modulation parameter ϕ $\phi $ determined with the Force‐field approximation (
