Note: Salyut-7 and ISS results. From the article: “A number of experiments were carried out to develop a phenomenological model of antibiotic resistance. The first series consisted of microbiological testing of nasopharynx of cosmonauts participating in the Salyut-7 space program and the number of antibiotic resistance determinants in bacteria identified in the biotope of the nasopharynx. The second series of experiments (in-vitro studies) were carried out on the ISS Russian Segment and consisted of determining the values of mobilization and conjugation in space flight conditions, in terrestrial conditions and in post-flight studies.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

Note: From the abstract: “Here, we first offer a brief review of previously proposed explanations that gravimetric tides constitute a tangible and potent force shaping the rhythmic activities of organisms. Through meta-analysis, we then interrogate data from three study cases and show the close association between the omnipresent gravimetric tides and cyclic activity.”
