Non-Nuclear Testing of Fission Technologies at NASA MSFC
Highly realistic non-nuclear testing can be used to investigate and resolve potential issues with space nuclear power and propulsion systems. Non-nuclear testing is particularly useful for systems designed with fuels and materials operating within their demonstrated nuclear performance envelope. Non-nuclear testing also provides an excellent way for screening potential advanced fuels and materials prior to nuclear testing, and for investigating innovative geometries and operating regimes. Non-nuclear testing allows thermal hydraulic, heat transfer, structural, integration, safety, operational, performance, and other potential issues to be investigated and resolved with a greater degree of flexibility and at reduced cost and schedule compared to nuclear testing. The primary limit of non-nuclear testing is that nuclear characteristics and potential nuclear issues cannot be directly investigated. However, non-nuclear testing can be used to augment the potential benefit from any nuclear testing that may be required for space nuclear system design and development. This paper describes previous and ongoing non-nuclear testing related to space nuclear systems at NASA s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC)

Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism Precedes Onset of Psychosis
International audienceBACKGROUND: A key clinical challenge in the management of individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR) is that it is difficult to predict their future clinical outcomes. Here, we investigated if the levels of circulating molecular lipids are related to adverse clinical outcomes in this group. METHODS: Serum lipidomic analysis was performed in 263 CHR individuals and 51 healthy control subjects, who were then clinically monitored for up to 5 years. Machine learning was used to identify lipid profiles that discriminated between CHR and control subjects, and between subgroups of CHR subjects with distinct clinical outcomes. RESULTS: At baseline, compared with control subjects, CHR subjects (independent of outcome) had higher levels of triacylglycerols with a low acyl carbon number and a double bond count, as well as higher levels of lipids in general. CHR subjects who subsequently developed psychosis (n = 50) were distinguished from those that did not (n = 213) on the basis of lipid profile at baseline using a model with an area under the receiver operating curve of 0.81 (95% confidence interval = 0.69-0.93). CHR subjects who became psychotic had lower levels of ether phospholipids than CHR individuals who did not (p , .01). CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, these data suggest that lipidomic abnormalities predate the onset of psychosis and that blood lipidomic measures may be useful in predicting which CHR individuals are most likely to develop psychosis
