Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of EuropeanSpace Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved 2006, following study which original interferometric concept changed to direct-imaging approach. Both and payload were built by European industry. involvement scientific community focusses on data processing for international Data Processing Analysis Consortium (DPAC) selected 2007. launched 19 December 2013 arrived at its operating point, second Lagrange point...
Aims Now that we are in the deceleration phase of COVID-19 pandemic, focus has shifted to how safely reinstate elective operating. Regional and speciality specific data is important guide this decision-making process. This study aimed review 30-day mortality for all patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery during peak pandemic within our region. Methods multicentre reviewed on trauma a region from 18 March 2020 27 April 2020. Information was collated regional databases. Patients were...
Ariel, part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Cosmic Vision science program, is an innovative medium-class mission designed for atmospheric remote sensing exoplanets. It first solely dedicated to investigating atmospheres more than 500 transiting exoplanets, ranging from gas giants super-Earths, using a combination transit photometry and spectroscopy. The mission's primary goal analyze these exoplanets' chemical composition thermal structures, paving way large-scale, comparative...
With greater numbers of younger patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR), the effect patient age on diameter femoral canal may become more relevant. This study aimed to investigate relationship between diaphysis with increasing in a large number who underwent THR. A 1685 scheduled for THR had their dimensions recorded from calibrated radiographs. There were 736 males and 949 females mean ages 67.1 years (34 92) 70.2 (29 92), respectively. The was 13.3 mm (8.0 23.0) 12.7 (6.0 26.0)...
The SMART-1 spacecraft is the first of European Space Agency's Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology. SMART-1's primary mission goal to demonstrate Solar Electric Primary Propulsion by orbit raising from Geostationary Transfer Orbit Moon. was launched September 2003, as an auxiliary passenger on Ariane 5. After separation launch vehicle, Operations Centre assumed control spacecraft, preparing, then initiating, phase. At time writing, has been a period seven months. This paper...
The SMART-1 spacecraft is the first of European Space Agency’s Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology. was launched September 2003, as an auxiliary passenger on Ariane 5. After separation from launch vehicle, Operations Centre assumed control spacecraft. SMART-1’s primary mission goal to demonstrate Solar Electric Primary Propulsion by orbit raising Geostationary Transfer Orbit Moon. Due favourable thruster and power subsystem performance, efficient orbital transfer strategy,...
To monitor the performance of services for developmental dysplasia hip (DDH) in Northern Ireland and identify potential improvements to enhance quality service plan future.This was a prospective observational study, involving all infants treated DDH between 2011 2017. Children underwent clinical assessment radiological investigation as per regional surveillance policy. The radiology data interrogated quantify use ultrasound ionizing radiation this population.Evidence-based changes were made...
Abstract Despite the growing importance of planetary Space Weather forecasting and radiation protection for science robotic exploration need accurate monitoring predictions, only a limited number spacecraft have dedicated instrumentation this purpose. However, every (planetary or astronomical) has hundreds housekeeping sensors distributed across spacecraft, some which can be useful to detect hazards produced by solar particle events. In particular, energetic particles that impact detectors...
The ERS-2 satellite was launched in 1995, to provide continuity of service the ERS-1 mission. Today, despite several major failures, is still operational and providing valuable data for scientific purposes. This has been achieved failure all onboard science storage gyros, through use innovative workarounds. Satellite performance general remained robust with high reliability whilst demand products from user community high, some areas significantly increased. ground segment developed late 80s...
The aim of this study is to assess the impact a pilot enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme on length stay (LOS) and post-discharge resource usage via service evaluation cost analysis.Between May December 2019, 100 patients requiring hip or knee arthroplasty were enrolled with intention that each would have preadmission discharge plan, preoperative education class nominated helper, day admission mobilization, one discharge, access 24/7 dedicated helpline. Each was matched patient...
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations) mission is a space-based optical multi-camera photometer of the European Space Agency (ESA) to identify characterize exoplanets their hosting stars using two main techniques: planetary transit asteroseismology. Selected as M3 (third Medium class mission) ESA 2015-2025 Cosmic Vision program, scheduled launch end 2026 designed for 4 years nominal observation. The spacecraft composed Service Module Payload Module. comprises all conventional subsystems...
