The experience of movement in orbital space architecture: A narrative of weightlessness
Cogent Arts & Humanities, 2020 Based upon a combination of architectural theories, the knowledge of space environment, and psychology of isolated and confined environments, this qualitative research aims to study orbital space settlement in a way to get the built space congenial to ...

High-gradient magnetic fields and starch metabolism: results from a space experiment
Scientific Reports, 2022 Directing plant growth in weightlessness requires understanding the processes that establish plant orientation and how to manipulate them. Both gravi- and phototropism determine directional growth and previous experiments showed that high gradient ...

Effect of Spaceflight on Tomato Seed Quality and Biochemical Characteristics of Mature Plants
Horticulturae, 2021 Intensive space exploration includes profound investigations on the effect of weightlessness and cosmic radiation on plant growth and development. Tomato seeds are often used in such experiments though up to date the results have given rather vague ...

Chillida in America. An encounter with modernity on the other side of the Atlantic
Cuadernos de Proyectos Arquitectónicos, 2023 In 1958 Eduardo Chillida received a scholarship from the Graham Foundation of Chicago in which he was encouraged to explore deeper into those aspects of his work that are closest to the architectural discipline.

Weightlessness and skeleton homeostasis
HORMONES, 2005 As human beings venture into space in the 21st century, they will be confronted with a "hypodynamic" and thus hostile environment for the bone homeostasis, that could potentially compromise their mobility in general and skeletal strength in particular after landing. From this point of view, space flight studies are especially interesting and intriguing

Proprioceptive disturbances in weightlessness revisited. [PDF]
NPJ Microgravity, 2023 AbstractThe senses of limb position and movement become degraded in low gravity. One explanation is a gravity-dependent loss of fusimotor activity. In low gravity, position and movement sense accuracy can be recovered if elastic bands are stretched across the joint.

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.

Joint Cartilage in Long-Duration Spaceflight
Biomedicines, 2022 This review summarizes the current literature available on joint cartilage alterations in long-duration spaceflight. Evidence from spaceflight participants is currently limited to serum biomarker data in only a few astronauts.

The Mechanoreception in Drosophila melanogaster Oocyte under Modeling Micro- and Hypergravity
Cells, 2023 The hypothesis about the role of the cortical cytoskeleton as the primary mechanosensor was tested. Drosophila melanogaster oocytes were exposed to simulated microgravity (by 3D clinorotation in random directions with 4 rotations per minute—sµg group ...
