The in-orbit results and lessons learned of the first Finnish satellite Aalto-1 are briefly presented in this paper. Aalto-1, a three-unit CubeSat which was launched June 2017, performed AaSI (Aalto Spectral Imager), Radiation Monitor (RADMON), Electrostatic Plasma Brake (EPB) missions. partly fulfilled its mission objectives allowed to either perform or attempt experiments. Although attitude c...

Abstract. This work uses the Disturbance Ionosphere indeX (DIX) to evaluate ionospheric responses equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) events from 2013 2020 over Brazilian and low latitudes. We have compared DIX variations during EPBs ionosonde All-Sky Imager data, aiming physical characteristics of these events. Our results show that was able detect EPB-related TEC disturbances in terms their intens...

Tropical transpacific fishes occur on both sides of the world’s largest deep-water barrier to the migration of marine shore organisms, the 4,000to 7,000-km-wide Eastern Pacific Barrier (EPB). They include 64 epipelagic oceanic species and 126 species of shore fishes known from both the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP) and the central and West Pacific. The broad distributions of 19 of 39 circumglo...

Sequential feeding is a cyclic feeding program with 2 diets for 1 or several days used to induce lower feed costs or to improve welfare quality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of energy [2,800 (E-) and 3,200 kcal/kg (E+)] and protein [230 (P+) and 150 g/kg (P-)] content on daily feed intake and growth in 900 male broiler chickens, and to compare these results with s...

Homozygous mice overexpressing Claudin-6 (Cldn6) exhibit a perturbation in the epidermal differentiation program leading to a defective epidermal permeability barrier (EPB) and dehydration induced death ensuing within 48 h of birth [Turksen, K., Troy, T.C., 2002. Permeability barrier dysfunction in transgenic mice overexpressing claudin 6. Development 129, 1775-1784]. Their heterozygous counter...

We report a direct folding study of seven helical proteins (, Trpcage, , C34, N36, , ) ranging from 17 to 53 amino acids through standard molecular dynamics simulations using a recently developed polarizable force field-Effective Polarizable Bond (EPB) method. The backbone RMSDs, radius of gyrations, native contacts and native helix content are in good agreement with the experimental results. C...

Abstract Prediction of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) continues to be a challenge for the scientific community. We present novel data analysis approach, employed on collocated radar and ionosonde observations from Gadanki, providing new experimental results characterizing overhead upwelling bottomside F layer linking it EPB formation. Using this approach we propose parameter based predict occ...
