Pre-culture 20-day-old lettuce (<em>Lactuca sativa</em> L. var.

The ratios of NO<sub>3</sub><img>N to NH<sub>4</sub><img>N included 3: 1, 4: 0, 2: 2, and 0: 4. The nitrogen quantity included two levels, i.e. N1, 0.1 g N kg<sup>−1</sup> dry matrix and N2, 0.2 g N kg<sup>−1</sup> dry matrix. The growth status of lettuce plants in different treatments differentiated markedly. Regardless of the nitrogen factor, the growth status of lettuce plants treated with total atmospheric pressure/oxygen partial pressure at 54/21 was equivalent to the treatment of 101/21. Under the hypobaric condition (54 kPa), compared with 21 kPa oxygen partial pressure, hyperoxia (28 kPa) significantly inhibited the growth of lettuce plants and the biomass (fresh weight) decreased by 60.9%-69.9% compared with that under 101/21 treatment. At the N1 level, the sequence of the biomass of lettuce plants supplied with different ratios of NO<sub>3</sub><img>N to NH<sub>4</sub><img>N was 3: 1 &gt; 4: 0 &gt; 2: 2 &gt; 0: 4, and there were higher concentrations of chlorophyll and carotenoid of lettuce plants supplied with the higher ratio of NO<sub>3</sub> to NH<sub>4</sub>. At the N2 level, the effects of different ratios of NO<sub>3</sub><img>N to NH<sub>4</sub><img>N on lettuce plants were similar to those at the N1 level. The high nitrogen (N2) promoted the growth of lettuce plants such as 54/21/N2 treatments. Both form and nitrogen level did not affect the stress resistance of lettuce plants. Hypobaria (54 kPa) increased the contents of N, P, and K and hyperoxia (28 kPa) decreased the content of organic carbon in lettuce plants. The high nitrogen (N2) improved the content of total N and the N uptake. The ratios of NO<sub>3</sub><img>N to NH<sub>4</sub><img>N were 4: 0 and 3: 1, lettuce could absorb and utilize N effectively. This study demonstrated that hyperoxia (28 kPa) inhibited the growth of lettuce plants under the hypobaric condition (54 kPa), and high level of nitrogen (0.2 g N kg<sup>−1</sup> dry matrix) and NO<sub>3</sub><img>N: NH<sub>4</sub><img>N at 3: 1 markedly enhanced the growth, the contents of mineral elements and the nutritional quality of lettuce plants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18029,"journal":{"name":"Life Sciences in Space Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138818299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiation protection programs on Earth and in space rely on personal and area radiation monitoring instruments. Crew worn radiation detectors are crucial for successful crew radiation protection programs since they measure what each crewmember experiences in different shielding configurations within the space habitable volume. The Space Radiation Analysis Group at NASA Johnson Space Center investigated several compact, low power, real-time instruments for personal dosimetry. Following these feasibility studies, the Crew Active Dosimeter (CAD) has been chosen as a replacement for the legacy crew passive radiation detectors. The CAD device, based on direct ion storage technology, was developed by Mirion Dosimetry Services to meet the specified NASA design requirements for the International Space Station (ISS) and Artemis programs. After a successful Technology demonstration on ISS, the CAD has been implemented for ISS Crew operations since 2020. The current paper provides an overview of the CAD development, ISS results and comparison with the ISS Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) and the Radiation Environment Monitor 2 (REM2) instruments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18029,"journal":{"name":"Life Sciences in Space Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71743948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
