ENABLING DEEP-SPACE EXPERIMENTATIONS ON CYANOBACTERIA BY MONITORING CELL DIVISION RESUMPTION IN DRIED CHROOCOCCIDIOPSIS SP. 029 WITH ACCUMULATED DNA DAMAGE

Enabling deep-space experimentations on cyanobacteria by monitoring cell division resumption in dried Chroococcidiopsis sp. 029 with accumulated DNA damage

Cyanobacteria are Cap gaining considerable interest as a method of supporting the long-term presence of humans on the Moon and settlements on Mars due to their ability to produce oxygen and their potential as bio-factories for space biotechnology/synthetic biology and other applications.Since many unknowns remain in our knowledge to bridge the gap

Olfactory and solitary chemosensory cells: two different chemosensory systems in the nasal cavity of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis

Abstract Background The nasal cavity of all vertebrates houses multiple chemosensors, either innervated by the Ist (olfactory) or the Vth (trigeminal) cranial nerve.Various types of receptor cells are present, either segregated in different compartments (e.g.in rodents) or mingled in one epithelium (e.g.fish).In addition, solitary chemosensory cell

Robust Control for Non-Minimum Phase Systems with Actuator Faults: Application to Aircraft Longitudinal Flight Control

This study is concerned with developing a robust tracking control system that merges the optimal control theory with fractional-order-based control and the heuristic optimization algorithms into a single framework for the non-minimum phase pitch angle dynamics of Boeing 747 aircraft.The main control objective is to deal with the non-minimum phase n
