Dressing for Altitude, U.S. Aviation Pressure Suits-Wiley Post to Space Shuttle

Since its earliest days, flight has been about pushing the limits of technology and, in many cases, pushing the limits of human endurance. The human body can be the limiting factor in the design of aircraft and spacecraft. Humans cannot survive unaided at high altitudes. There have been a number of books written on the subject of spacesuits, but the literature on the high-altitude pressure suits is lacking. This volume provides a high-level summary of the technological development and operational use of partial- and full-pressure suits, from the earliest models to the current high altitude, full-pressure suits used for modern aviation, as well as those that were used for launch and entry on the Space Shuttle. The goal of this work is to provide a resource on the technology for suits designed to keep humans alive at the edge of space. Hopefully, future generations will learn from the hard-fought lessons of the past. NASA is committed to the future of aerospace, and a key component of that future is the workforce. Without these men and women, technological advancements would not be possible. Dressing for Altitude is designed to provide the history of the technology and to explore the lessons learned through years of research in creating, testing, and utilizing today s high-altitude suits. It is our hope that this information will prove helpful in the development of future suits. Even with the closeout of the Space Shuttle and the planned ending of the U-2 program, pressure suits will be needed for protection as long as humans seek to explore high frontiers. The NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is committed to the training of the current and future aerospace workforce. This book and the other books published by the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate are in support of this commitment. Hopefully, you will find this book a valuable resource for many years to come.
Decoding emotional prosody: Resolving differences in functional neuroanatomy from fMRI and lesion studies using TMS

<h3>Background</h3> Prosody conveys information about the emotional state and intention of others. Lesion studies have shown that damage to the right posterior temporal region is associated with prosody decoding deficits. Dissimilarly to findings from lesion studies, neuroimaging data show substantial bilateral peri-Sylvian activation. <h3>Objective</h3> This study aimed to investigate the involvement of the left and right superior temporal gyrus (STG) in prosodic and semantic processing using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). These two regions of interest were chosen for their correspondence to Wernicke's area in the left hemisphere and its analog in the right. <h3>Methods</h3> Offline TMS with a stimulation frequency of 1 Hz and intensity of 60% of stimulator output (approximately 1.1 Tesla) with one pulse applied per second for 10 minutes (600 pulses) was performed. Directly after TMS on the right STG, the left STG or sham-stimulation, participants completed a prosody decoding or a semantic judgment task (whether the tone/meaning was happy or sad). <h3>Results</h3> Reaction times (RT) for the prosodic task were significantly slower when TMS was applied in the right STG in comparison to left STG and sham conditions. TMS over both right and left STG delayed RT in the semantic task, significantly when the tone of voice was incongruent with the meaning. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Our data strongly suggests that left temporal regions are not crucial to the basic task of prosody decoding per se; however, the analogous region on the right is. Hence, involvement of the left STG in prosodic decoding revealed in previous imaging data is incidental.

Life between houses: a multiscalar interdisciplinary investigation into the creation and use of settlement open spaces by the first sedentary communities

The emergence of sedentary life ca. 13,000 years ago marked the development of mudbrick architecture and the transition to new forms of human ecology based on plant and animal domestication. In this context, settlement open areas played a vital socio-economic role as the loci of discard practices, outdoor activities, and human-animal-environment interactions. However, while built environments are a recurrent research theme for this period, open spaces remain less studied. This oversight is partly due to the methodological and interpretative problems posed by open areas, often displaying complex stratigraphies consisting of superimposed microlayers and excavated in arbitrary units that do not represent units of deposition. The aim of PATIOS is to explore the constitution of open spaces to investigate how the earliest sedentarising and sustained sedentary communities operated at supra-household levels. The specific project goals are: 1) to develop a new multiscalar and interdisciplinary methodology for an improved identification of microscopic and molecular residues of organic nature in open sequences; 2) to characterise the variety of formation and taphonomic processes affecting open areas; and 3) to provide a wide diachronic and geographical understanding of the concepts and transformations of open spaces and the socio-cultural aspects related to their use. PATIOS will focus on early Holocene semi-mobile and sedentary communities in the Near East, one of the core areas of the Neolithic Transition. Through a multi-proxy methodological approach that combines spatial analyses, geoarchaeology, plant science, biochemistry and ethnoarchaeology, this project will explore the heterogeneity of the earliest settlement open areas, opening up a much-needed comparative path for the examination of local trajectories in their creation, transformation and use. Thus, PATIOS will contribute new insights into the rise and evolution of anthropogenic landscapes and ecologies.
«Como en espejo». Scienza del governo e giustizia nel Tractado de República di fray Alonso de Castrillo

Il Tractado de República di Alonso de Castrillo è senza dubbio uno dei principali testi entro la tradizione umanistica del pensiero politico in spagnolo. Scritto nel 1520 e pubblicato poco prima della disfatta dei comuneros a Villalar, il trattato, a causa della sua attitudine mediatrice e pacificatrice, si è prestato a interpretazioni di segno differente e anche opposto. A mezza via tra la tradizione scolastica e i motivi schiettamente umanistici, e come opera di educazione politica diretta ai laici, il trattato di Castrillo deve essere rieletto con scrupolosa attenzione al testo originale e alle sue fonti, tra le quali si distingue la repetitio De iustitia et iniustitia del suo maestro Fernando de Roa.
New Technologies for macro and Microplastic Detection and Analysis in the Adriatic Basin

NET4mPLASTIC project aims to collect data on the distribution and composition of the Microplastic along the Croatian and Italian coastal and marine areas. A numerical model will simulate the marine transport processes of the Microplastic in the Adriatic Sea to identify possible Microplastic concentration zones in the pilot areas according to fluvial discharge and marine conditions. The drone images will be used to identify the presence of plastic, while some other parameters will be measured in real time by installing a specific platform on boats or on marine drones. Sampling will be done at the river mouth, in marine environment, on the beach and collecting biota samples. Chemical and biological analysis will identify the Microplastic, possible origin of the Microplastic and possible health impacts.

The deconvolution of thermoluminescence glow-curves using general expressions derived from the one trap-one recombination (OTOR) level model

The new developed thermoluminescence (TL) glow-peak expressions derived from the one trap-one recombination (OTOR) level model were used to analyze the TL glow-curves recorded with linear and exponential heating function profiles under various experimental conditions. The results showed that these expressions can, accurately, analyze the TL glow-curves even with the overlapped glow-peaks. Low values of R = A n / A m were reported for glow-peaks in different TL materials. A glow-peak with the possibility of A n > A m was also pointed out. • The accuracy of the TL expressions derived from the OTOR model was verified. • EHF and LHF glow-curves were deconvoluted using TL expressions based on OTOR model. • Low values of R = A n / A m were reported for some glow-peaks. • A glow-peak with the possibility of A n > A m was pointed out.
The Spanish version of the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (B-YAACQ): A Rasch Model analysis

The present work was aimed at analyzing the psychometric properties of the Spanish Brief YAACQ in a sample of Argentinean college students applying the Item Response Theory. Participants were 302 college students (59.9% females) who reported drinking alcohol within the last month. The B-YAACQ was translated into Spanish and the psychometric properties of this Spanish version were analyzed applying the Rasch Model, as well as testing group difference and conducting correlational analyses. The verification of the global fit of the data showed adequate indexes for the persons and items. The reliability estimate of the items was very high (.97), while the reliability estimate of the persons was modest (.65). All but one item had adequate fit indexes. B-YAACQ scores were strongly related to measures of hazardous alcohol drinking, including frequency of drunkenness episodes and frequency of heavy episodic drinking, indicating concurrent validity. The item content along the severity continuum was fairly similar to that found with US and Dutch samples. Three items had a gender bias against men and another three items showed a gender bias against women, indicating the presence of differential item functioning cancellation. The map of items and persons suggests that these 24 items do not provide a full coverage of the continuum of alcohol problems at the lower levels of the continuum. Overall, results from the present study suggest that the Spanish B-YAACQ offers a brief and efficient way to identify alcohol problems in Spanish-speaking college students.
A ph-responsive bionanohybrid nanofibrous wound dressing

To address the dynamic nature of wound healing, the wound care market is transitioning from classic protective barriers into advanced, active wound dressings, interacting with the wound by stimulating and managing cell migration and the sequence of healing events. In this regard, development of smart drug delivery wound dressings based on nanofibers, is a novel topic and of high importance due to the porosity, biomimicry and high surface area of such materials bringing about very optimum oxygen and water permeability, enhanced cell activity thus healing rate and better dissolution rate and ease of incorporation of drugs, respectively. However, to industrially realize such systems, there are still some challenges. Of the most important challenges is fabrication approach of such systems, that must not lead to either a burst release or damage to the drug during the process. As a novel idea, I aim to biomineralize a doped calcium phosphate drug carrier coating on the surface of nanofibers that could be efficiently loaded by drug molecules through electrostatic interactions. To accelerate the healing rate of chronic wounds, the wound medium is conventionally acidified by topical application of acids. This synthetic acidification along with natural trend of acidification of the wound as far as healing continues, can lead to dissolution of the drug carrier coating, thus release of drug molecules in a controlled manner. In this nanofibrous wound dressing, not only the nanofibrous structure biomimicking natural extracellular matrix of human tissues and smart drug delivery facilitates interaction with live cells and manages the healing process, respectively, but also cheap and fast electrospinning process for production of nanofibers promise an industrially adaptable approach. Thus, this proposed research would be an important novel step towards introduction of nanofibrous drug delivery wound dressings to industry.
Analysis of LED wire bonding process using arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian and equilibrium mesh smoothing algorithm

In light emitting diode (LED) packaging, wire bonding is used to connect the power of chip. The contact force during thermosonic bonding process might be able to make the failures, such as pad peeling, cracking, and delamination. This study presents an effective simulation technology with bonding wire geometry validation for the LED wire bonding process. An axisymmetric finite element (FE) model using explicit method with a second level accuracy arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) algorithm is constructed in this research. In addition, ALE using the equilibrium smoothing algorithm can make the contact behavior and geometric shape of bonding wire be the same as experimental results, and element distortion would be reduced.

Precision spectroscopy and electron-ion scattering

Scientific research fields for future source of energy such as inertial confinement fusion research and astrophysics studies, especially with satellite observatories, advance into stages of precision physics. The relevant atomic data are not only enormous but also of accuracy according to requirements, especially for both energy levels and the collision data. We propose a scenario to provide such abundant atomic data with enough accuracy based on analytical continuation properties of the scattering matrices, which is a combination of indispensable theoretical computations and benchmark experimental measurements. Using our modified $R$-matrix method we can directly calculate the scattering matrices in the whole energy regions, from which we can obtain all energy levels and the related scattering cross sections with accuracies comparable with spectroscopic precision. The $e$+Kr${}^{+}$ system is used as an illustrative example; the degrees of accuracies of scattering matrices of each partial wave are calculated within about 6%, which should be much more accurate than state-of-the-art scattering experiments.
PAYS AIMABLES

"This project is part of the plan PAYS SAGES": The Pays Aimables project tackles very topical problems: on one hand, the high environmental impact of coastal tourism and its risk of obsolescence and on the other hand, the lack of offers of the hinterland which, although representing one of the greatest development opportunities, struggling to spring up. The main objective is the creation of a cross-border tourist product which, with emphasis on the development of the cultural landscape and on the excellent products, can stand out on the global market, obtain public favour and guarantee the valorisation of the area's heritage.

The PITER area comprises a long coastal segment extending over the French and Italian territories, the southern Piedmont hills system, and the last foothills of the Maritime Alps, acting as a junction. The partnership, made up of administrations working at the departmental or regional level, universities and chambers of commerce, wants to establish, on the territory, a form of public-private governance on several levels. The objective is to support competitiveness and sustainable economic development within the territory, through the enhancement of one of its strong points: the landscape, as a synthesis of identity, fruit of nature and men's work. Projects contribute to the strategy, by combining landscape and safeguarding (OS 

1.2 - energy redevelopment of built heritage), management (OS 

2.2 - building resilience and risk prevention policies), development (OS 

3.1 - creation of sustainable tourism products, intended for a responsible public, with high spending capacity) and training (OS 

4.2 - creation of specialists in project-related subjects, able to provide support to the socio-economic operators of the territory). The synergy between the coastal Liguria and PACA systems and the Langhe and Roero hills system makes it possible to jointly develop strategies with the aim of maintaining the tourist positioning of these areas on an international scale.
High thermodynamic stability of parametrically designed helical bundles

Building with alphahelical coiled coils Understanding how proteins fold into well-defined three-dimensional structures has been a longstanding challenge. Increased understanding has led to increased success at designing proteins that mimic existing protein folds. This raises the possibility of custom design of proteins with structures not seen in nature. Thomson et al. describe the design of channelcontaining α-helical barrels, and Huang et al. designed hyperstable helical bundles. Both groups used rational and computational design to make new protein structures based on α-helical coiled coils but took different routes to reach different target structures.

Efficient Query Processing in Time Series

With the rapid development over the last decade, time series data become one of the most frequently used data in real world applications (e.g., finance analysis, medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, etc.). As expected, the volume of the time series data will even grow larger in near future. It is important to design efficient and effective algorithm and index to handle various tasks for these data. Thereby, my PhD study focuses on how to extract meaningful time series patterns from large volume of data efficiently. Specifically, two types of extraction queries are discussed in this work, including longest-lasting correlated subsequence query and time series motif query. The applications and solutions of these two queries are thoroughly introduced and discussed in this paper. Moreover, some potential pattern extraction queries will also be discussed in this paper.
