The rate-limiting mechanism for the heterogeneous burning of iron in normal gravity and reduced gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This thesis presents a research project in the field of oxygen system fire safety relating to the heterogeneous burning of iron in normal gravity and reduced gravity. Fires involving metallic components in oxygen systems often occur, with devastating and

Is Gravity an Entropic Force? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The remarkable connections between gravity and thermodynamics seem to imply that gravity is not fundamental but emergent, and in particular, as Verlinde suggested, gravity is probably an entropic force.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Perceptual and sensorimotor adaptations to hypogravity: implications for manual task performance and verticality perception

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
Hypogravity environments (e.g., 1/6 g on the Moon and 3/8 g on Mars, where gravity is lower than on Earth) profoundly alter the sensorimotor mechanisms underlying spatial orientation, perception, and manual task execution. Understanding these adaptations

Topographic features around Syowa Station as viewed from the gravity measurements -Some implications on the bedrock topography under the ice sheet-

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1984
The coefficients of the correlation between the reduced gravity anomaly and the bedrock height were calculated using gravity data in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region and the Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica.

Dexterous Manipulation During Rhythmic Arm Movements in Mars, Moon, and Micro-Gravity

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Predicting the consequences of one’s own movements can be challenging when confronted with completely novel environmental dynamics, such as microgravity in space.

Spatial and single‐nuclei transcriptomics reveals idiosyncratic and generic patterns in papillary and anaplastic thyroid cancers

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Matched spatial transcriptomics and single‐nuclei RNA‐seq were generated for anaplastic and BRAFV600E papillary thyroid cancers revealing generic and tumor‐specific states occurring in cancer cells and in the tumor microenvironment. In this context, cancer dedifferentiation mirrored organoid maturation through ordered thyroid marker gain/loss ...

The flammability of metallic materials in normal and reduced gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Metallic materials exposed to oxygen-enriched atmospheres – as commonly used in the medical, aerospace, aviation and numerous chemical processing industries – represent a significant fire hazard which must be addressed during design, maintenance and ...

Enhanced Simulation of Partial Gravity for Extravehicular Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Prior studies of human locomotion under simulated partial gravity have hypothesized that energy expenditure is increased in lunar gravity, as compared to that of Mars.

Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies for Microgravity Simulation and Space Applications

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
Gravity plays an important role in the development of life on earth. The effect of gravity on living organisms can be investigated by controlling the magnitude of gravity.
