Predicting motion sickness during parabolic flight [PDF]
Autonomic Neuroscience, 2002 There are large individual differences in susceptibility to motion sickness. Attempts to predict who will become motion sick have had limited success. In the present study, we examined gender differences in resting levels of salivary amylase and total protein, cardiac interbeat intervals (R-R intervals), and a sympathovagal index and evaluated their ...

Venous and Arterial Responses to Partial Gravity
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Introduction: Chronic exposure to the weightlessness-induced cephalad fluid shift is hypothesized to be a primary contributor to the development of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) and may be associated with an increased risk of venous

Lipid Signalling in Human Immune Response and Bone Remodelling under Microgravity
Applied Sciences, 2020 Since the first Apollo mission in 1969, microgravity has been linked to many alterations of astronauts’ physiology, among which immunosuppression, altered inflammation and bone loss represent relevant examples.

Spatial Updating Depends on Gravity
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 As we move through an environment the positions of surrounding objects relative to our body constantly change. Maintaining orientation requires spatial updating, the continuous monitoring of self-motion cues to update external locations.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.
