Human Behavior During Spaceflight - Evidence From An Analog Environment, Kenny M. Arnaldi, Guy Smith, Jennifer E. Thropp Jan 2015

Human Behavior During Spaceflight - Evidence From An Analog Environment, Kenny M. Arnaldi, Guy Smith, Jennifer E. Thropp

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Spaceflight offers a multitude of stressors to humans living and working in space, originating from the external space environment and the life-support system. Future space participants may be ordinary people with different medical and psychosocial backgrounds who may not receive the intense spaceflight preparation of astronauts. Consequently, during a mission, a space participant’s mood and behavior could differ from a trained astronaut. This study was an exploratory research project that used an artificial habitat to replicate an orbital environment and the activities performed by humans in space. The study evaluated whether the type of environment affects mood and temperament. Two …


On X-Ray Pulsations In Beta Cephei-Type Variables, L. Oskinova, H. Todt, D. Huenemoerder, S. Hubrig, Richard Ignace, W.-R. Hamann, L. Balona Jan 2015

On X-Ray Pulsations In Beta Cephei-Type Variables, L. Oskinova, H. Todt, D. Huenemoerder, S. Hubrig, Richard Ignace, W.-R. Hamann, L. Balona

ETSU Faculty Works

Beta Cephei-type variables are early B-type stars that are characterized by oscillations observable in their optical light curves. At least one Beta Cep-variable also shows periodic variability in X-rays. Here we study the X-ray light curves in a sample of beta Cep-variables to investigate how common X-ray pulsations are for this type of stars. We searched the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray archives and selected stars that were observed by these telescopes for at least three optical pulsational periods. We retrieved and analyzed the X-ray data for kappa Sco, beta Cru, and alpha Vir. The X-ray light curves of these objects …

Precision Measurements Of Aⁿ1 In The Deep Inelastic Regime, D. S. Parno, D. Flay, M. Posik, M. Canan, C. Hyde, The Jefferson Lab Hall A Collaboration

We have performed precision measurements of the double-spin virtual-photon asymmetry A1 on the neutron in the deep inelastic scattering regime, using an open-geometry, large-acceptance spectrometer and a longitudinally and transversely polarized 3He target. Our data cover a wide kinematic range 0.277 <= x <= 0.548 at an average Q2 value of 3.078(GeV/c)2, doubling the available high-precision neutron data in this xrange. We have combined our results with world data on proton targets to make a leading-order extraction of the ratio of polarized-to-unpolarized parton distribution functions for up quarks and for down quarks in the same kinematic range. Our data are consistent with …


First Measurement Of The Polarization Observable E In The P→ (Ɣ→, Π+) In Reaction Up To 2.25 Gev, S. Strauch, W. J. Briscoe, M. Döring, E. Klempt, V. A. Nikonov, E. Pasyuk, D. Rönchen, A.V. Sarantsev, I. Strakovsky, R. Workman, K. P. Adhikari, D. Adikaram, L. El Fassi Jan 2015

First results from the longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target (FROST) program are reported. The double-polarization observable E, for the reaction ɣp→π+n, has been measured using a circularly polarized tagged-photon beam, with energies from 0.35 to 2.37 GeV. The final-state pions were detected with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. These polarization data agree fairly well with previous partial-wave analyses at low photon energies. Over much of the covered energy range, however, significant deviations are observed, particularly in the high-energy region where high-L multipoles contribute. The data have been …
