静止轨道卫星通信链路的预算与分析

星地链路计算作为卫星通信的重要技术，是卫星通信系统设计的基础和理论依据，直接决定了卫星通信系统的链路通信质量。由于影响卫星链路的因素很多，设计中存在一处不合理即使得整条星地链路不可用，造成巨大的损失。而且在实际设计中无法做到最理想的链路状态，往往需要在某方面有所取舍，这也是链路计算中的一大难点。基于目前国际通用的链路计算方法，将星地链路上下行拆分，独立计算，综合分析，再结合实际工程经验，分析和计算实际工程案例，针对不同的链路配置给出相应合理的设计方法，可作为静止轨道通信卫星星地链路计算分析的参考。

Versatile fluid-mixing device for cell and tissue microgravity research applications

Microgravity life-science research requires hardware that can be easily adapted to a variety of experimental designs and working environments. The Biomodule is a patented, computer-controlled fluid-mixing device that can accommodate these diverse requirements. A typical shuttle payload contains eight Biomodules with a total of 64 samples, a sealed containment vessel, and a NASA refrigeration-incubation module. Each Biomodule contains eight gas-permeable Silastic T tubes that are partitioned into three fluid-filled compartments. The fluids can be mixed at any user-specified time. Multiple investigators and complex experimental designs can be easily accommodated with the hardware. During flight, the Biomodules are sealed in a vessel that provides two levels of containment (liquids and gas) and a stable, investigator-controlled experimental environment that includes regulated temperature, internal pressure, humidity, and gas composition. A cell microencapsulation methodology has also been developed to streamline launch-site sample manipulation and accelerate postflight analysis through the use of fluorescent-activated cell sorting. The Biomodule flight hardware and analytical cell encapsulation methodology are ideally suited for temporal, qualitative, or quantitative life-science investigations.     

The search for companions to Epsilon Eridani

The authors review efforts to examine the star Epsilon Eridani and determine the possibility for the existence of an Earth-like planet. Early data indicated that there must be a habitable ecosphere about 82.5 million Km from the primary. Research into the existence of another planetary system determined that Epsilon Eridani was a binary star with an Oort cloud system, indicating the possibility of planet formation. A review of the evidence suggests that the presence of the small red Dwarf companion star precludes the existence of a planetary system surrounding Epsilon Eridani. It is suggested that observations continue to provide further data about the formation of binary systems.
