Article Abstract

To enhance the accuracy of phase measurement and to prevent tracking errors, it is crucial to effectively read the multi-frequency signal in space gravitational wave detection. In this paper, a novel signal acquisition method called the multi-frequency acquisition algorithm is proposed and implemented. Different from the traditional single-frequency acquisition, the signal characteristics of amplitude and frequency are both considered to better distinguish different frequency components. A phasemeter integrated with the acquisition method and narrow-bandwidth digital phase-locked loop is constructed for the method test and verification. The results show that the multi-frequency acquisition unit can capture all the frequencies of an input signal in several milliseconds. The precision is better than ±200 Hz under a low SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 0 dB. The phase noise can reach 2 µrad/Hz1/2 in the frequency range of 0.1-1 Hz and satisfy the requirement of the space gravitational wave detection in all frequency ranges.

For space missions such as extraterrestrial sample collection, robotic rover exploration, and astronaut landings, the complex terrain and diverse gravitational environments make ground-based micro-low-gravity experimental systems essential for testing and validating spacecraft performance as well as supporting astronaut training. The suspended gravity unloading (SGO) system is a key device commonly used to simulate micro-low-gravity environments. However, the SGO system faces challenges due to model uncertainty and external disturbances, which limit improvements in control accuracy.

Perceived Chronic Stress prior to SARS-CoV-2 Infection Predicts Ongoing Symptomatic COVID-19: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Psychother Psychosom

Division of Endocrinology and Diabetology, Department of Internal Medicine, Interdisciplinary Metabolic Medicine Trials Unit, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.

Introduction: Understanding chronic stress as a potential risk factor for COVID-19 progression could inform public health measures and personalized preventive interventions. Therefore, we investigated the influence of chronic stress prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection on symptom persistence 1 month after COVID-19 onset.

Methods: The participants of this prospective cohort study named "StressLoC" were adults with COVID-19 who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection within the last 7 days.

Delphi Assessment of Home-Based Digital Healthcare for Aging Patients: A Biopsychosocial Perspective.

Clin Interv Aging

September 2025

Gravitational Physiology and Medicine Research Unit, Division of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Otto Löwi Research Center of Vascular Biology, Immunity and Inflammation, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.

Purpose: The development of home-based clinical interventions and healthcare supported by digital tools has rapidly advanced in recent years, promising improvements in preventive and personalized treatment, especially for aging chronic patients. However, many systems are launched without feedback from healthcare experts, essential for understanding their strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement. This study had two objectives: first, to gather expert opinions on the qualities and limitations of current home-centred healthcare trends for aging patients; second, as a case study, to obtain feedback on a novel system, (TI-Health), integrating these trends.

With future manned space projects involving missions of unprecedented duration, multisystem deconditioning induced by spaceflight could seriously affect the well-being and health of astronauts. Safe and easily determined in-flight biomarkers are therefore needed to monitor health status. In this study, we simulated space deconditioning with a 5-day dry immersion (DI) of 18 healthy women and 19 healthy men and evaluated the effects of this protocol on three biomarkers: the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR).

Phase-field modeling of colloid-polymer mixtures in microgravity.

NPJ Microgravity

September 2025

Department of Mathematical Sciences & Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, USA.

Colloid-polymer mixtures are an archetype for modeling phase transition processes, as they exhibit a low-density gas phase, high-density crystalline phase and an intervening liquid phase. While their equilibrium behavior has been studied extensively, the role of hydrodynamics in driving their phase separation is not yet understood. We present a theoretical model that describes hydrodynamic interactions in colloid-polymer mixtures in a microgravity environment.
