Virtual reality as a countermeasure for astronaut motion sickness during simulated post-flight water landings by Lonner, T. L., Allred, A. R., Bonarrigo, L., Gopinath, A., Smith, K., Kravets, V., Groen, E. L., Oman, C., DiZio, P., Lawson, B. D., Clark, T. K.

“…We tested the countermeasure’s effectiveness at mitigating motion sickness symptoms at the end of a ground-based reentry analog: approximately 1 h of 2Gx centrifugation followed by up to 1 h of wave-like motion. Secondarily, we explored differences in vestibular-mediated balance performance between the two conditions. …”

Amino acids stimulate the endosome-to-Golgi trafficking through Ragulator and small GTPase Arl5 by Shi, Meng, Chen, Bing, Mahajan, Divyanshu, Boh, Boon Kim, Zhou, Yan, Dutta, Bamaprasad, Tie, Hieng Chiong, Sze, Siu Kwan, Wu, Geng, Lu, Lei

“…By testing components of the AA-stimulated mTORC1 signaling pathway, we demonstrate that SLC38A9, v-ATPase and Ragulator, but not Rag GTPases and mTORC1, are essential for the AA-stimulated trafficking. Arl5, an ARF-like family small GTPase, interacts with Ragulator in an AA-regulated manner and both Arl5 and its effector, the Golgi-associated retrograde protein complex (GARP), are required for the AA-stimulated trafficking. …”

Investigation on the braking characteristics of tractor-trailer on jackknifing by Gan, Zhilong

“…The results show that when the wheels remains in rolling motion, the brake input needs to be sufficient enough so as to inhibit the translational motion of the vehicle as well as work against the trailer swing motion or tractor spin-out. On the other hand, when the wheels are in sliding motion, the effective braking force exerted on the wheels is reduced and therefore increases the chance of jackknifing again. …”
