Nemaline rod and degeneration of Z band of muscle cell in weightlessness at spaceflight

There are some studies demonstrating the skeletal muscle degeneration associated with the degeneration of Z band and appearance of nemaline rods in experimental animals of the simulation model for spaceflight but not in human heart tissues. In the present study, therefore, we investigated the pathological changes or degeneration in left auricular heart muscles obtained during operations of mitral valves replacement using both electron and light microscopies. The degeneration of Z band even in the myofibrils of comparatively little damaged cell was found. Furthermore, nemaline rods were detected in most of the heart muscle cells. These results suggest that the existence of nemaline rods is involved in the cell injury in the heart muscle of patients with heart disease without nemaline myopathy. Further study is necessary to know whether the similar pathological findings are observed not only in the skeletal muscle but also in the cardiac muscle in experimental animals of the simulation model for spaceflight or in a prolonged spaceflight.     

Near Earth Vortices Driving of Field Aligned Currents Based on Magnetosphere Multiscale and Swarm Observations

A long-standing mystery in the study of Field-Aligned Currents (FACs) has been that:how the currents are generated and why they appear to be much stronger at high altitudes than in the ionosphere.Here we present two events of magnetotail FACs observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale Spacecraft (MMS) on 1st July and 14th July 2016,to show how the Substorm Current Wedges (SCW) were formed.The results show that particles were transferred heading towards the Earth during the expansion phase of substorms. The azimuthal flow formed clockwise (counter-clockwise) vortex-like motion,and then generated downward (upward) FACs on the tailward/poleward side of the distorted field with opposite vorticity on their Earthward/equatorward side.We also analyzed the Region 1 FACs observed by the Earth Explorer Swarm spacecraft on 1st July 2016 and found that they were associated with FACs observed by MMS,although differing by a factor of 10.This difference suggests that either there was the closure of the currents at altitudes above 500 km or the currents were not strictly parallel to B and closed at longitudes away from where they were generated.      

Rapid and Asymmetric Response of the Earth's Bow Shock:Multipoint Observations

We analyze observations of three bow shock crossings which occurred during 2007, using upstream data from STEREO A/B, ACE and WIND, combined with multi-point THEMIS and Cluster data, and TC-1 data located near noon. During the crossing of 7 May 2007, we find that following a rapid reduction in solar wind ram pressure and subsequent pressure pulse seen by ACE and WIND upstream, the bow shock responds asymmetrically from dawn to dusk. Cluster data on the dawn-side suggest the bow shock is significantly flared and responds rapidly to the pulse arrival, while TC-1 at noon, and THEMIS on the dusk-side, are well matched to the model bow shock, but show a delayed response. The crossings observed on 21 May and 2 June show contrasting response matching the model boundary for northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). The IMF and solar wind plasma data suggest that the bow shock crossing at dawn-dusk side and subsolar point were mainly caused by large and smaller scale features of the solar wind ram pressure rise rather than the influence of IMF.

STUDY ON TRANSONIC CASCADE PERFORMANCE BY USE OF NEWLY BUILT FACILITY

Progress in computational fluid dynamics in the field of turbomachine cascades has increased recently the importance of the study by cascade wind tunnels to verify various newly introduced concepts. A transonic cascade wind tunnel test facility has been built for this purpose in the Department of Aeronautics, University of Tokyo. The system and operation of this facility will be explained in detail. The tunnel is of blowdown type, and can be run repeatedly at a short interval. Experimental cascade performances obtained by this facility as well as numerical results for cascades designed along new concepts are discussed.

利用皇家天文观察站的星位目录中的15个恒星的资料,斯蒂格特认为,由于星位数据不同,星位模型也就不同,(GLIESE59号恒星的星位误差比较大.GLIESE系列恒星统计目录总汇建立时,使用了光测计、角测仪和天文望远镜视角差的测量方法,经过对各个星位数据的不同的数学评价之后得出了结论:“星位数据表列中的数据误差能够修正过来,”斯蒂格特说:“这是研究这张星图的下一步计划.”杰弗里·L·克雷特持有同样的观点,他是研究生,在埃文斯顿西北大学的J·艾伦·海尼克     

中央情报局与UFO（下）

科学家小组比“天外来客”小组迟到现场一会儿,于是,专家们对坠毁的飞碟开始调查.据施德曼讲述:调查人员通过打碎的舷窗一个接一个地进入飞碟.飞碟上的舷窗很难同飞碟外壳区分开来,看上去酷似金属,可是后来才搞清楚,原来,这些舷窗都是透明的.调查人员在飞碟舱室内发现两个类人生物,他们的身高为1.2米.由于飞碟坠毁时的强大惯力,两个乘员被重重地摔到仪器盘上,他们的尸体被烧成深褐色.其余的12具外星人尸体都两臂张开地躺在舱室的地上.实际上,飞碟上总共有14具尸体,而不是斯卡利所说的16具.
