This report traces the history of India’s centrifuge enrichment program and assesses its current and projected enrichment capacity based on publicly available procurement data and other publicly available information, which were analyzed using specialized software. Our conclusion is that India is currently operating between 2,000 and 3,000 centrifuges at the Rare Materials Project (RMP), India’...

Cell staining is a necessary and useful technique for visualizing cell morphology and structure under a microscope. This technique has been used in many areas such as cytology, hematology, oncology, histology, virology, serology, microbiology, cell biology, and immunochemistry. One of the key pieces of equipment for preparing a slide for cell staining is cytology centrifuge (cytocentrifuge) suc...

The European Space Agency (ESA) Short-Arm Centrifuge (SAHC) was used to generate 0.7, 1, and 1.2 Gz of artificial gravity at the level of the heart in 6 healthy male subjects. We investigated the hypothesis that the effects of hyper-gravity on Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) can mimic the effects observed after spaceflight cardiovascular deconditioning. Artificial gravity along the head-to-f...

Humans experience physiological deconditioning during space missions, primarily attributable to weightlessness. Some of these adverse consequences include bone loss, muscle atrophy, sensory-motor deconditioning, and cardiovascular alteration, which may lead to orthostatic intolerance when astronauts return to Earth. Artificial gravity could provide a comprehensive countermeasure capable of chal...

INTRODUCTION Centrifuge-induced artificial gravity (AG) with exercise is a promising comprehensive countermeasure against the physiological de-conditioning that results from exposure to weightlessness. However, body movements onboard a rotating centrifuge are affected by both the gravity gradient and Coriolis accelerations. The effect of centrifugation on squat exercise biomechanics was investi...

The Fenwick can and Schuiling centrifuge are widely used to extract nematode cysts from soil samples. The comparative efficiencies of these two methods during cyst extraction have not been determined for different soil types under different cyst densities. Such information is vital for statutory laboratories that must choose a method for routine, high-throughput soil monitoring. In this study, ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the lipid index (WS) in the examined cadets and duration of exposure to +Gz in the human centrifuge. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study involved 19 first-year cadets of the Polish Air Force Academy in Dęblin. Tests in the human centrifuge were repeated twice, i.e. prior to (test I) and 45 days after (test II). ...
