In addition, those who were insecure showed more behaviour problems, scored lower on the intelligence scale and had parents who reported significantly more stress then the adopted secure children. Finally, it has actually been found that the best prediction for adult outcomes is actually peer relationships during adolescence, though of course there is be a direct link between ...

- 60: Osteoporosis and Effects of Gavity and Space
- ... To state the obvious, Human beings have evolved under Earths gravity "1G". Our musculoskeleton system have developed to help us navigate in this gravitational field, endowed with ability to adapt as needed under various stress, strains and available energy requirement. The system consists of Bone a highly specialized and dynamic supporting tissue which provides the vertebrates its rigid infrastructure. It consists of specialized connective tissue cells called osteocytes and a ... calcium which is vital for human metabolism, houses the bone marrow within its mid cavity and to top it all it is capable of changing its architecture and mass in response to outside and inner stress. It is this dynamic remodeling of bone which is of primary interest in microgravity. To feel the impact of this dynamicity it should be noted that a bone remodeling unit [a coupled phenomena of bone reabsorption and bone formation] is initiated and another finished about every ten seconds in a healthy adult. This dynamic system responds to mechanical stress or lack of it by increasing the bone mass/density or decreasing it as per the demand on the system. -eg; a person dealing with increased mechanical stress will respond with increased mass / density ...
