Loading effects on rat craniomandibular morphology: a system for gravity studies

Gravity effects on muscle and bone are a major impediment to long-term space travel. We introduce a model for studying these effects, the craniomandibular system. Some advantages of this system include: (1) craniomandibular morphology is determined by epigenetic factors including gravity, (2) relatively light forces can significantly alter its morphology, and (3) soft diet and tooth loss produce effects that are similar to those produced in lower limbs by weightlessness. In the study, implants made either of gold (experimental group) or lightweight acrylic (controls) were attached to adult rats' mandibles. After 13 weeks, the animals' skulls and mandibles were dissected. Pair-wise comparisons indicated that the experimental animals showed significantly shortened and narrowed cranial bases, and significant changes in the posterior zygomatic arch region. These results indicate that simulated macrogravity influences bone remodeling in the adult craniomandibular system.     

透射式水工质的高耦合效率激光推进模式

为了提高激光推进的耦合效率,防止光学器件污染,提出了透射式液体工质的激光推进模式。在这种推进模式中,Nd:YAG固体激光器中产生的450 mJ,7 ns激光穿过透明的玻璃基底后,与燃烧室中的液体推进剂相互作用,产生的等离子体在玻璃基底、燃烧室和液体推进剂的约束下膨胀,产生很高效率的动量转换,使靶获得初速度。纯水和黑墨水分别被用作推进剂,通过比较实验结果发现,在这种模式中墨水比水更适合做推进剂。通过改变燃烧室的长度和孔径,得到的耦合系数的最大值为17 858.3 N/MW。     

刷式密封临界承压能力流固耦合数值研究

采用以泄漏因子与有效间隙作为刷式密封临界承压能力的评价指标,基于ALE(arbitrary Lagrange-Euler)流固耦合方法建立刷式密封三维瞬态求解模型,分析三种不同结构的刷式密封模型在不同压差下的刷丝变形,研究临界承压能力对刷丝变形的影响。研究结果表明：随着上下游压差的增加,泄漏因子与有效间隙的值趋于稳定时的压差范围即为刷式密封的临界承压能力。所研究的基本型刷式密封临界承压能力为0.25～0.30 MPa,后挡板保护高度降低0.5 mm的刷式密封和轴向增加5排刷丝的刷式密封临界承压能力相对于基本型增加了16.7%～20.0%,降低后挡板保护高度和增加刷丝轴向排数可以提高刷式密封临界承压能力。随着上下游压差的增加,刷丝轴向最大变形量先增加,在上下游压差达到刷式密封临界承压能力时,刷丝之间间隙被压缩至接近最小,刷丝轴向最大变形量达到稳定。该研究成果为刷式密封的结构设计提供理论依据。

Six-month space greenhouse experiments--a step to creation of future biological life support systems

SVET Space Greenhouse (SG)--the first automated facility for growing of higher plants in microgravity was designed in the eighty years to be used for the future BLSS. The first successful experiment with vegetables was carried out in 1990 on the MIR Space Station (SS). The experiments in SVET SG were resumed in 1995, when an American Gas Exchange Measurement System (GEMS) was added. A three-month wheat experiment was carried out as part of MIR-SHUTTLE'95 program. SVET-2 SG Bulgarian equipment of a new generation with optimised characteristics was developed (financed by NASA). The new SVET-GEMS equipment was launched on board the MIR SS and a successful six-month experiments for growing up of two crops of wheat were conducted in 1996 - 97 as part of MIR-NASA-3 program. The first of these "Greenhouse" experiments (123 days) with the goal to grow wheat through a complete life cycle is described. Nearly 300 heads developed but no seeds were produced. A second crop of wheat was planted and after 42 days the plants were frozen for biochemical investigations. The main environmental parameters during the six-month experiments in SVET (substrate moisture and lighting period) are given. The results and the contribution to BLSS are discussed.
