THERMOSYPHON FLOODING IN REDUCED GRAVITY ENVIRONMENTS
… on a parabolic flight campaign to achieve the Reduced Gravity Environments (RGE) needed to obtain empirical data for analysis. Current correlation models of Faghri and Tien and Chung do not agree with the data. A new model is presented that predicts the flooding limits for thermosyphons in …

Partial Gravity Load Simulation Using Mechanical Off-Loading and Lower Body Negative Pressure
Prolonged exposure to reduced gravity environments can lead to significant deconditioning of the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular systems. These effects increase the risk of orthostatic intolerance, bone loss, and conditions such as Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS). As …

The bioenergetics of walking and running in space suits
… that the human run-walk transition in Earth gravity occurs when energy recovery for walking and running are approximately equal. The dependence of muscle efficiency on gravity -during locomotion and under a particular set of assumptions- was derived as part of the framework. Next, I collected …

Microgravity Exerts an Age-Dependent Effect on Cardiovascular Progenitor Cell Development
<p>The heart and its cellular components are profoundly altered by missions to space and injury on Earth. Increasing evidence has identified that one such alteration induced by spaceflight is the promotion of the efficacious use of stem cells in therapies on Earth. For this reason, neonatal and …
