Enhancing Life in the Hyper-surveillance Mini-world of a Space Station: The Role of Situation Awareness, Communication, and Reality TV in the Life of Astronauts

This is the third article of a series entitled Astronauts as Audiences. In this article, we investigate the roles that situation awareness (SA), communications, and reality TV (including media communications) might have on the lives of astronauts in remote space communities. We examined primary data about astronauts’ living and working environments, applicable theories of SA, communications, and reality TV (including media communications). We then surmised that the collective application of these roles might be a means of enhancing the lives of astronauts in remote space communities.

Investigation of the Effect of Array Geometry on the Performance of Free-Space Optical Interconnects

The effect of transmitter and receiver array configurations on the stray-light and diffraction-caused crosstalk in free-space optical interconnects was investigated. The optical system simulation software (Code V) is used to simulate both the stray-light and diffraction-caused crosstalk. Experimentally measured, spectrally-resolved, near-field images of VCSEL higher order modes were used as extended sources in our simulation model. In addition, we have included the electrical and optical noise in our analysis to give more accurate overall performance of the FSOI system. Our results show that by changing the square lattice geometry to a hexagonal configuration, we obtain an overall signal-to-noise ratio improvement of 3 dB. Furthermore, system density is increased by up to 4 channels/mm2.

Restriction of intramuscular neurite branching and extension is lost in agrin and rapsyn-deficient mice

The phrenic nerve enters the diaphragm at approximately embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) in the mouse. The secondary nerve trunk advances along the centre of the diaphragm muscle and extends tertiary branches primarily towards the lateral side during normal embryonic development. In the present study we quantified the intramuscular neurite branching in the most ventral region of the diaphragm at E15.5 and E18.5 in wild-type mice, agrin knock-out mice (KOAG) and rapsyn knock-out mice (KORAP). KOAG and KORAP have decreased muscle contraction due to their inability to maintain/form acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters during embryonic development. Heterozygote mothers were anaesthetised via an overdose of Nembutal (30 mg; Boeringer Ingelheim, Ridgefield, CT, USA) and killed via cervical dislocation. There were increases in the number of branches exiting the medial side of the phrenic nerve trunk in KOAG and KORAP compared to wild-type mice, but not on the lateral side at E15.5 and E18.5. However, the number of bifurcations in the periphery significantly increased on both the medial and lateral sides of the diaphragm at E15.5 and E18.5 in KOAG and KORAP compared to control mice. Furthermore, neurites extended further on both the medial and lateral sides of the diaphragm at E15.5 and E18.5 in KOAG and KORAP compared to wild-type mice. Together these results show that the restriction of neurite extension and bifurcations from the secondary nerve trunk is lost in both KOAG and KORAP allowing us the opportunity to investigate the factors that restrict motoneuron behaviour in mammalian muscles.

Urban governance under neoliberalism:New Labour and the restructuring of state-space

In the UK there has been a proliferation of agencies at differing regulatory scales as part of the rescaling and restructuring of the state by New Labour, following the neoliberal policies of previous Conservative governments. This raises questions concerning the extent to which New Labour's urban state restructuring is embedded within neoliberalism, and the local tensions and contradictions arising from emergent New Labour urban state restructuring. This paper examines these questions through the analysis of key policy features of New Labour, and the in-depth exploration of two programmes that are reshaping urban governance arrangements, namely Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) and New Deal for Communities (NDC) programmes. We conclude that New Labour's restructuring is best understood in terms of the extended reproduction (roll-out) of neoliberalism. While these “new institutional fixes” are only weakly established and exhibit internal contradictions and tensions, these have not led to a broader contestation of neoliberalism.
