Some Effects of Thyroxine-Reserpine Treatment on Growth of Mice

Thyroxine, reserpine, and a combination of the two drugs were given to white mice over a ten-week period. Effects on growth rate were noted. Data are presented which indicate that a sequence of thyroxine for two days and reserpine for one day, with the sequence repeated over the experimental period, proved to have greatest effect on growth rate

Adopting Internet Standards for Orbital Use

After a year of testing and demonstrating a Cisco mobile access router intended for terrestrial use onboard the low-Earth-orbiting UK-DMC satellite as part of a larger merged ground/space IP-based internetwork, we reflect on and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of integration and standards reuse for small satellite missions. Benefits include ease of operation and the ability to leverage existing systems and infrastructure designed for general use, as well as reuse of existing, known, and well-understood security and operational models. Drawbacks include cases where integration work was needed to bridge the gaps in assumptions between different systems, and where performance considerations outweighed the benefits of reuse of pre-existing file transfer protocols. We find similarities with the terrestrial IP networks whose technologies we have adopted – and also some significant differences in operational models and assumptions that must be considered
