![]() ![]() Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) are among the main deterrents to manned space exploration. Results from simulations show that the shielding properties are comparable to the neat polyethylene at low loadings (1–5 wt%) of filler, with the GO nanoplatelets being the best reinforcement for space radiation protection among the investigated fillers. Composites made of polyethylene and boron carbide particles were also analyzed for comparison with the carbon-filled composites. Simulations were performed for the case of galactic cosmic rays, solar particles events, and for the LEO radiation environment. The choice of polyethylene as the optimal matrix for radiation shielding was confirmed by preliminary studies on different aerospace-grade polymers, aluminium and liquid hydrogen. In particular, we analyze the role of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoplatelets, at different loadings, on the equivalent dose absorbed by the nanocomposites in various radiation fields in space. In this study, we numerically investigate the radiation properties of polyethylene-based nanocomposites for space protection using the HZETRN2015 code by NASA. However, the effects of carbon nanoparticles on the nanocomposite radiation shielding performance in space are rather unknown. Doping polyethylene matrix with nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, can significantly enhance the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of this polymer. At the moment, polyethylene layers offer the most effective protection against high-energy charged particles in space, yet this material is mainly used in non-structural applications due to its poor mechanical properties. Current materials show many limitations in this regard and their applications in crew exploration vehicles, spacesuits and human habitats need further technological advancement. Human space missions beyond near Earth orbit require mitigating risk factors associated with radiation exposure. Verification of shield concepts requires results from specific designs to be compared with onboard dosimetry. These results suggest that shielding design and risk analysis are necessary measures for reducing long-term radiological risks to ISS inhabitants and for meeting legal ALARA requirements. Results of the studies shown herein indicate that 20% or more reduction in equivalent dose to the CQ occupant is achievable. Optimization of shield designs relies on accurate characterization of the expected primary and secondary particle environment and modeling of the predicted radiobiological responses of critical organs and tissues. Several designs for placement of slabs or walls of polyethylene have been evaluated for radiation exposure reduction in the Crew Quarters (CQ) of the Zvezda (Star) Service Module. Polyethylene (CnHn) is a relatively inexpensive, stable, and, with a low atomic number, an effective shielding material that has been certified for use aboard the ISS. Judicious placement of efficient shielding materials in locations where crewmembers sleep, rest, or work is an important means for implementing ALARA for spaceflight. ![]() Even with the expectation that regulatory dose limits will not be exceeded during a single tour of duty aboard the ISS, the "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA) precept requires that radiological risks be minimized when possible through a dose optimization process. With 5-7 month long duration missions at 51.6 degrees inclination in Low Earth Orbit, the ionizing radiation levels to which International Space Station (ISS) crewmembers are exposed will be the highest planned occupational exposures in the world. ![]() ![]() This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free.

We examined whether the absence of vultures changed carcass decomposition time, number of mammalian scavengers visiting carcasses, time spent by mammals at carcasses, and potential for disease transmission at carcasses (measured by changes in intraspecific contact rates). To evaluate these possibilities, we conducted a series of observations and experimental tests of the effects of vulture extirpation on decomposition rates of livestock carcasses and mammalian scavengers in Kenya. These changes could increase rates of transmission of infectious diseases, with carcasses serving as hubs of infection. Possible effects of vulture declines include longer persistence of carcasses and increasing abundance of and contact between facultative scavengers at these carcasses. They feed on rotting carcasses and are the most threatened avian functional group in the world. If a vulture senses danger, it will empty its crop quickly to escape.Vultures (Accipitridae and Cathartidae) are the only known obligate scavengers.

The head could also be used as a gas tank. Realizing that the issue was more psychological than functional, he created the Horsey Horseless, a car with a life-size replica of a horse head attached to the front. In 1899, however, inventor Uriah Smith came up with a solution. They were different from what people were used to, and that difference was inhibiting adoption. “Horseless carriages” not only looked and sounded strange, they also spooked the animals still using the streets. Horses had been the primary transportation method for thousands of years. But getting people to adopt early cars required a huge mind shift.
