  2. Stratobowl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratobowl

    In 1934 the NGS and Air Corps co-sponsored the Explorer, a manned high-altitude balloon capable of stratospheric flight. After the crash of the Soviet Osoaviakhim-1 that nevertheless set an altitude record of 72,178 feet (22,000 m), the sponsors redefined their primary objectives from record-setting to scientific research and tests of new navigation instruments.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-pressure_Balloon...

    The Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a highly stabilized, high-resolution telescope that operates in the stratosphere via NASA's superpressure balloon (SPB) system. At approximately 35 km altitude above sea level, the football-stadium -sized balloon carries SuperBIT (at 3500 lbs) to a suborbital environment above 99. ...

    During the day, CAM plants close stomata and use stored acids as carbon sources for sugar, etc. production. The C3 pathway requires 18 ATP and 12 NADPH for the synthesis of one molecule of glucose (3 ATP + 2 NADPH per CO 2 fixed) while the C4 pathway requires 30 ATP and 12 NADPH (C3 + 2 ATP per CO 2 fixed).

    The BLAST high-altitude balloon just before launch on June 12, 2005. High-altitude balloons or stratostats are usually uncrewed balloons typically filled with helium or hydrogen and released into the stratosphere, generally attaining between 18 and 37 km (11 and 23 mi; 59,000 and 121,000 ft) above sea level.

  7. Balloon-borne telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon-borne_telescope

    Balloon-borne telescopes have the disadvantage of relatively low altitude and a flight time of only a few days. However, their maximum altitude of about 50 km is much higher than the limiting altitude of aircraft-borne telescopes such as the Kuiper Airborne Observatory and Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, which have a limiting altitude of 15 km. [1] [5] A few balloon-borne ...

    USSR-1 on a 1933 postage stamp.Here the balloon is shown in low altitude configuration; in the stratosphere the envelope expanded into a nearly perfect sphere.. Auguste Piccard's high-altitude flights of 1930–1932 aroused interest of Soviet Air Forces and Osoaviakhim, the Soviet paramilitary training organization, as well as individual pilots, designers and flight enthusiasts.

  9. UTP—glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTP—glucose-1-phosphate...

    UTP—glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase in plants is regulated through oligomerization and possibly phosphorylation. [22] In barley, it has been shown that UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is only active in monomeric form but readily forms oligomers , suggesting that oligomerization may be a form of regulation of the enzyme.
