Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

open access: yesExperimental 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;

A comparison of normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia effects on cerebrovascular response pre and post maximal exercise

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A lack of consensus remains on whether normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) may differentially impact physiological factors affecting cerebrovascular regulation, particularly with an additional strenuous exercise component. We sought to compare the acute effects of NH and HH on global cerebral blood flow (gCBF) at an altitude ...

On the average sojourn time under M/M/1/SRPT

open access: yes, 2003
We study an M/M/1 queueing system under the shortest remaining processing time (SRPT) policy. We show that the average sojourn time varies as T((µ(1-¿) ln(e/(1-¿)))-1), where ¿ is the system load. Thus, SRPT o2ers a T(ln(e/(1-¿))) factor improvement over

Vertical Handover Analysis Based on Cell Sojourn Distance: A Probabilistic Approach Inspired by Bertrand’s Paradox

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
The recent surge in traffic demand has accelerated the development of heterogeneous highdensity networks. Consequently, the number of base stations has increased, leading to a rise in the frequency of vertical handovers between heterogeneous base ...

Sojourn times for the Brownian motion [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Stochastic Analysis, 1998
In this paper explicit formulas are given for the distribution function, the density function and the moments of the sojourn time for the reflecting Brownian motion process.

Daily hot‐water immersion preserves altitude‐induced haemoglobin mass expansion following descent independent of erythropoietin

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐altitude exposure increases haemoglobin mass (Hbmass), a key determinant of arterial oxygen‐carrying capacity, but following descent this adaptation can regress toward baseline within 7 days. Long‐term heat acclimation has emerged as an alternative stimulus for Hbmass expansion; however, whether post‐altitude passive‐heat exposure can ...
