Laser-produced plasmas are used for a variety of studies, relevant for both basic physics and applications, and are of course essential within the study of inertial confi nement approach to nuclear fusion. Because of this large interest, a large variety of diagnostics have been developed and are routinely used to unveil the physical processes at work during plasma process and laser-plasma inter...

Short sleep duration (less than 7 hours per night), is associated with a range of physiologic responses (eg, inflammation, impaired glucose tolerance, reduced insulin sensitivity, and appetite regulation), health behaviors, and comorbidities (eg, poor diet, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and hypertension) that increase risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).2-6 A meta-analysis of prospect...

Abstract Introduction As humans’ advance towards a Mars mission, ensuring astronaut safety, well-being, and performance becomes increasingly critical. Long-duration space exploration presents several challenges for human sleep, including altered photoperiods, prolonged confinement, monotony. Antarctica provides an ideal analog understanding how these other stressors impact sleep over time. Prio...

This paper investigates the effects of economic and political uncertainties on tourism demand using ‘World Uncertainty Index’ (WUI). index is more a sophisticated reliable measure global uncertainty than previous indices used by literature. The findings show that shocks affect travels for business, holidays, visiting friends/relatives purposes negatively. It statistically significant duration s...
