As drones and autonomous cars become more widespread it is becoming increasingly important that robots can operate safely under realistic conditions. The noisy information fed into real systems means that robots must use estimates of the…
In this paper, we provide guidance on how standard safety analyses and reporting of clinical trial safety data may need to be modified, given the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact could include missed visits, alternative…
In this paper we analyse the reasons which lead to a fuzzy spacetime approach. We then consider an experimental consequence, viz., a modified dispersion relation, which could be detected in ultra high energy cosmic rays, by for example…
Nowadays, the calculation of the Galactic Cosmic Rays diffusion coefficient with direct microscopic numerical simulations is a widespread approach. In this work, we investigated the numerical limits for such calculations and demonstrated…
For near-Sun missions, the spacecraft approaches very close to the Sun and space environmental effects become relevant. Strong restrictions on how much close it can get derive from the maximum temperature that the used materials can stand,…
These lectures address the effects of Cosmic Rays over macro-instabilities which develop in the interstellar medium and the micro-instabilities the particles are able to trigger themselves. The lectures are centered on the derivation of…
The luminosity distance-redshift relation is one of the fundamental tools of modern cosmology. We compute the luminosity distance-redshift relation in a perturbed flat matter-dominated Universe, taking into account the presence of…
This paper is a continuation of our previous analysis (i.e. Turyshev 2002a, 2002b) of the relativistic stellar aberration requirements for the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). Here we have considered a problem of how the expected…
This article will summarize the workshop proceedings of a workshop conducted at the University of Missouri that addressed the use of multi-omics fused with geospatial information to assess and improve the precision and environmental…
New concept for reducing dose radiation exposure, which helps to decrease the duration and cost of deep space human missions is introduced. This concept can be efficiently realized, using modern materials, such as carbon nanotube…
Microscopic, or short-wavelength, instabilities are known for drastic reduction of the beam quality and strong amplification of the noise in a beam. Space charge and coherent synchrotron radiation are known to be the leading causes for such…
The paper presents many facets of medical imaging investigations radiological risks. The total volume of prescribed medical investigations proves a serious lack in monitoring and tracking of the cumulative radiation doses in many health…
The stellar initial mass function and the stellar lifetimes are basic ingredients of chemical evolution models, for which different recipes can be found in the literature. In this paper, we quantify the effects on chemical evolution studies…
Cosmic rays are nowadays a crucial tool to study the astrophysics of extreme objects in the Universe, the cosmic environmental plasma (both Galactic and extra-galactic), the physics of nuclear interactions or the properties of elementary…
Conducting levitated mechanical experiments in extreme conditions has long been the aim of researchers, as it allows for the investigation of new fundamental physics phenomena. One of the great frontiers has been sending these experiments…
In order to attract and retain excellent researchers and diverse individuals in astrophysics, we recommend action be taken in several key areas impacting young scientists: (1) Maintain balance between large collaborations and individual…
Observations have revealed that the MW, Andromeda, Centaurus A (and potentially other galaxies) host spatially thin and kinematically coherent planes of satellites. Such structures are highly improbable within the standard LCDM cosmological…
Many drugs used therapeutically or recreationally induce tolerance: the effect of the substance decreases with repeated use. This phenomenon may reduce the efficacy of the substance unless dosage is increased beyond what is healthy for the…
We investigate obstacles of superluminal "warp drive" travels from interactions with interstellar matter and from curvature effects. The effect of collision of interstellar dust particles and photons with the spacecraft will all lead to a…
A relativistic spacecraft of the type envisioned by the Breakthrough Starshot initiative will inevitably get charged through collisions with interstellar particles and UV photons. Interstellar magnetic fields would, therefore, deflect the…
