Analysis of aircraft equipment requirements to conduct RNP APCH approach operation

Ruch statków powietrznych jest ciągle analizowany z uwagi na problematykę pojemności przestrzeni powietrznej i przepustowości portów lotniczych. Ważnym obszarem jest podejście do lądowania statków powietrznych na dane lotnisko z wykorzystaniem pomocy nawigacyjnych. Urządzenia i systemy nawigacyjne są dostosowywane do wymagań prawnych organizacji europejskich i międzynarodowych. Do użytku operacyjnego podczas podejść do lądowania dopuszczono możliwość korzystania z systemu GNSS wraz z odpowiednią augmentacją (ABAS lub SBAS) określoną jako podejścia RNP APCH. Ich wprowadzenie skutkowało w pojawieniu się szeregu korzyści. Autorzy podjęli się analizy wymagań wyposażenia pokładowego statków powietrznych niezbędnego do wykonywania podejść RNP APCH. Celem naukowym jest ocena wyposażenia pokładowego RNAV statków powietrznych na przykładzie trzech przewoźników lotniczych (stan na grudzień 2018r.). Weryfikacji poddano hipotezę szacując wysoki stopień wyposażenia pokładowego RVAV statków powietrznych. Zastosowano metodę analizy wykorzystując aplikację CNS Dashboard udostępnionej przez Eurocentów. Wskazuje ona zadeklarowane możliwości nawigacyjne samolotów na podstawie planów lotu ICAO przesyłanych przez przewoźników do Network Managera skorelowanych z bazą danych statków powietrznych PRISME Fleet 2. W wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy, można zauważyć, że prawie wszystkie badane statki powietrzne miały wymaganą certyfikację do przeprowadzania podejść RNP APCH z użyciem systemu ABAS (96% badanych). Z drugiej strony żaden z samolotów nie miał wymaganego wyposażenia do wykorzystywania systemu SBAS podczas lądowania. Na podstawie badania dokumentów i obserwacji obszaru badawczego można stwierdzić, że przewoźnicy lotniczy coraz częściej wyposażają swoje statki powietrzne w wymagane moduły podejściach do lądowania typu RNP APCH.
Effects of Acetamiprid at Low and Median Lethal Concentrations on the Development and Reproduction of the Soybean Aphid Aphis glycines

Simple Summary We conducted a study on the effects of LC50 and LC30 acetamiprid on the growth and development of the soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae). We found that exposure to acetamiprid at LC50 significantly extended the mean generation time, adult pre-ovipositional period, and total pre-reproduction period compared to the control, whereas exposure to acetamiprid at LC30 significantly shortened these periods. Acetamiprid at LC50 treatment significantly decreased the growth rate compared with the LC30 treatment. In addition, this study also found that low lethal concentration of acetamiprid could advance the occurrence of a reproductive peak, which could help us understand the major occurrence period of soybean aphids under acetamiprid stress. The present study provides reference data that could facilitate the exploration of the effects of acetamiprid on A. glycines in the field. Abstract The soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a major pest of soybean and poses a serious threat to soybean production. Studies on the effect of acetamiprid on the life table parameters of A. glycines, provide important information for the effective management of this pest. We found that exposure to acetamiprid at LC50 significantly extended the mean generation time, adult pre-reproductive period, and total pre-reproduction period compared with the control, whereas exposure to acetamiprid at LC30 significantly shortened these periods. Exposure to acetamiprid at both LC30 and LC50 significantly decreased the fecundity of the female adult, net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, and finite rate of increase compared with the control. The probability of attaining the adult stage was 0.51, 0.38, and 0.86 for a newly born nymph from the LC30 acetamiprid treatment group, LC50 acetamiprid treatment group, and control group, respectively. Acetamiprid at both LC50 and LC30 exerted stress effects on A. glycines, with the LC50 treatment significantly decreased the growth rate compared with the LC30 treatment. The present study provides reference data that could facilitate the exploration of the effects of acetamiprid on A. glycines in the field.
Study of Reliability Life Test System for Aerospace Relay

The contact resistance's over-normal situation in the conventional relay life test can't roundly proof the failure of the relay. This paper designs a reliability life test system for aerospace relay based on the multi-parameter test. This system includes four parts: the computer, the main control module, the data collect module and the coil driver module. This system applies to different kinds of the reliability life test with different loads. This system can acquire the real-time parameters like contact resistance, the close time and the over-travel time. Based on the analysis of the parameters, the system can synthetically judge the failure of the relay. Furthermore, this system can work out the failure analysis of the relay, gain the failure model for the further research on the failure mechanism.
Immunologic Effects of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Dogs with Spontaneous Tumors and the Impact of Intratumoral OX40/TLR Agonist Immunotherapy

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is known to induce important immunologic changes within the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, little is known regarding the early immune responses within the TME in the first few weeks following SBRT. Therefore, we used the canine spontaneous tumor model to investigate TME responses to SBRT, and how local injection of immune modulatory antibodies to OX40 and TLR 3/9 agonists might modify those responses. Pet dogs with spontaneous cancers (melanoma, carcinoma, sarcoma, n = 6 per group) were randomized to treatment with either SBRT or SBRT combined with local immunotherapy. Serial tumor biopsies and serum samples were analyzed for immunologic responses. SBRT alone resulted at two weeks after treatment in increased tumor densities of CD3+ T cells, FoxP3+ Tregs, and CD204+ macrophages, and increased expression of genes associated with immunosuppression. The addition of OX40/TLR3/9 immunotherapy to SBRT resulted in local depletion of Tregs and tumor macrophages and reduced Treg-associated gene expression (FoxP3), suppressed macrophage-associated gene expression (IL-8), and suppressed exhausted T cell-associated gene expression (CTLA4). Increased concentrations of IL-7, IL-15, and IL-18 were observed in serum of animals treated with SBRT and immunotherapy, compared to animals treated with SBRT. A paradoxical decrease in the density of effector CD3+ T cells was observed in tumor tissues that received combined SBRT and immunotherapy as compared to animals treated with SBRT only. In summary, these results obtained in a spontaneous large animal cancer model indicate that addition of OX40/TLR immunotherapy to SBRT modifies important immunological effects both locally and systemically.
An analysis of whole-body kinematics, muscle strength and activity during cross-step topspin among table tennis players

ABSTRACT This study examined the differences of muscle strength, electromyography (EMG) and whole-body kinematics during maximum cross-step table tennis topspin between advanced and intermediate players. Ten advanced and ten intermediate players performed both voluntary isokinetic contraction test and forehand topspin strokes with maximum-effort towards cross-court target zone. The results indicated that advanced players generated significantly greater maximum racket speeds during forward swing phase (P < 0.05). At the instant of the topspin stroke, significantly smaller shoulder horizontal flexion and elbow flexion angles, but larger joint angular velocities in advanced players (P < 0.05). Moreover, advanced players exhibited longer muscle firing duration of anterior deltoid and biceps brachii as well as higher root mean squares and EMG integrals of the abdominal external oblique, anterior deltoid and biceps brachii muscles than the intermediate players (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the isokinetic results showed higher shoulder abduction/adduction, hip flexion/extension and knee flexion torques at fast speed (240°/s) and higher elbow flexion torque at medium speed (120°/s) in advanced players (P < 0.05). The findings suggest that higher activation of the deltoid, biceps and abdominal external oblique muscles as well as larger muscle strength under higher speed conditions would be the plausible key factors to maximise racket and joint angular velocities in forehand topspin.
Comparative Study on Growth Patterns of 25 Commercial Strains of Korean Native Chicken

Prediction of growth patterns of commercial chicken strains is important. It can provide visual assessment of growth as function of time and prediction body weight (BW) at a specific age. The aim of current study is to compare the three nonlinear functions (i.e., Logistic, Gompertz, and von Betalanffy) for modeling the growth of twenty five commercial Korean native chicken (KNC) strains reared under a battery cage system until 32 weeks of age and to evaluate the three models with regard to their ability to describe the relationship between BW and age. A clear difference in growth pattern among 25 strains were observed and classified in to the groups according to their growth patterns. The highest and lowest estimated values for asymptotic body weight (C) for 3H and 5W were given by von Bertalanffy and Logistic model 4629.7 g for 2197.8 g respectively. The highest estimated parameter for maturating rate (b) was given by Logistic model 0.249 corresponds to the 2F and lowest in von Bertalanffy model 0.094 for 4Y. According to the coefficient of determination (R2) and mean square of error (MSE), Gompertz and von Bertalanffy models were suitable to describe the growth of Korean native chicken. Moreover, von Bertalannfy model was well described the most of KNC growth with biologically meaningful parameter compared to Gompertz model.
First observation of a quadruple asteroid. Detection of a third moon around (130) Elektra with SPHERE/IFS

Aims. We aim to increase the contrast limits to detect new satellites orbiting known asteroids. We use cutting-edge data reduction techniques and data processing algorithms that are essential to best analyse the raw data provided by the instruments and increase their performances. Doing so, the unequalled performances of SPHERE also make it a unique tool to resolve and study asteroids in the solar system, expanding the domain of its main science targets. Methods. We applied a newly developed data reduction pipeline for integral field spectrographs on archival SPHERE data of a resolved asteroid, (130) Elektra. It was coupled with a dedicated point spread function reconstruction algorithm to model the asteroid halo. Following the halo removal, the moon signal could be extracted more accurately. The moon positions were fitted at three epochs and were used to derive the orbital parameters via a genetic-based algorithm. Results. We announce the discovery of S/2014 (130) 2, a third moon orbiting (130) Elektra, making it the first quadruple asteroid ever found. It is identified in three different epochs, 9, 30, and 31 Dec. 2014, at a respective angular separation of 258 mas (333 km), 229 mas (327 km), and 319 mas (457 km). We estimate that this moon has a period of 0.679 day and a semi-major axis of 344 km, with an eccentricity of 0.33 and an inclination of 38 degrees compared to the primary rotation axis. With a relative magnitude to the primary of 10.5, its size is estimated to be 1.6 km.
Integral three-dimensional display system with wide viewing zone and depth range using time-division display and eye-tracking technology

Abstract. We propose an integral three-dimensional (3D) display system with a wide viewing zone and depth range using a time-division display and eye-tracking technology. In the proposed system, the optical viewing zone (OVZ) is narrowed to a size that only covers an eye to increase the light ray density using a lens array with a long focal length. In addition, a system with low crosstalk with respect to the viewer’s movement is constructed by forming a combined OVZ (COVZ) that covers both eyes through a time-division display. Further, an eye-tracking directional backlight is used to dynamically control the COVZ and realize a wide system viewing zone (SVZ). The luminance unevenness is reduced by partially overlapping two OVZs. The combination of OVZs formed a COVZ with an angle that is ∼1.6 times larger than that of the OVZ, and an SVZ of 81.4 deg and 47.6 deg for the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, was achieved using the eye-tracking technology. The comparison results of the three types of display systems (i.e., the conventional system, our previously developed system, and our currently proposed system) confirmed that the depth range of the 3D images in the proposed system is wider than that of the other systems.
Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is still a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Less than half of cases are diagnosed when the cancer is locally advanced. CRC is a heterogenous disease associated with a number of genetic or somatic mutations. Diagnostic markers are used for risk stratification and early detection, which might prolong overall survival. Nowadays, the widespread use of semi-invasive endoscopic methods and feacal blood tests characterised by suboptimal accuracy of diagnostic results has led to the detection of cases at later stages. New molecular noninvasive tests based on the detection of CRC alterations seem to be more sensitive and specific then the current methods. Therefore, research aiming at identifying molecular markers, such as DNA, RNA and proteins, would improve survival rates and contribute to the development of personalized medicine. The identification of “ideal” diagnostic biomarkers, having high sensitivity and specificity, being safe, cheap and easy to measure, remains a challenge. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent advances in novel diagnostic biomarkers for tumor tissue, blood and stool samples in CRC patients.

Eye Tracking and the Cinema: A Study of Film Theory and Visual Perception

When applied to film theory, eye-tracking can allow filmmakers to explore and confirm aesthetic and cinematic choices, giving them a unique look into what an audience is watching as a film is played. By watching differing visual elements, and how strong their influence is on a visual, a filmmaker may be able to predict where viewers will look in the frame. Fourteen subjects were asked to view eight different video clips while having their gaze recorded using an Applied Science Laboratory Model 501 eye-tracker. Certain visual elements were examined, including color, composition, and movement within a frame. The use of eye-tracking strongly supports prevalent film theory and can help filmmakers and other visual artists refine their craft.
Classification of urban tree species using LiDAR data and WorldView-2 satellite imagery in a heterogeneous environment

Abstract Feature complexity and heterogeneity of urban areas pose a challenge for tree species classification. This study examined the effectiveness of the integrated Worldview-2 (WV-2) bands, vegetation indices and normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM) dataset in mapping common urban tree species and other land use and land cover (LULC) types using Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. The study also ranked the importance of nDSM, WV-2 bands and vegetation indices. The results indicate that the integrated dataset was effective as shown by high classification accuracies of 97% for the RF and 94% for SVM classifiers. The nDSM was the top-ranked variable with high Mean Decrease in Accuracy (MDA) and Mean Decrease in Gini (MDG) scores of 0.98 and 0.61, respectively. This research provides information to municipalities on the methods and data that can be used for the sustainable management of urban tree species.
Data quality and uncertainty assessment methodology for pavement LCA

Abstract In performing pavement life cycle assessment (LCA), users are facing various reports of energy intensity coefficient (EIC) of pavement materials which differ considerably among data sources and therefore alter the LCA results significantly. Instead of selecting a certain EIC without or of little explanation for the current pavement LCA practices, this study proposed a methodology to build probability density function (PDF) for EIC based on available data-set and their qualities. Each data was first evaluated about the data quality indicator (DQI) through data quality pedigree matrix and converted to PDF in modified Beta distribution form. Three weighting methods, the DQI one, coefficient of variation (COV) one and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) one, were developed to assign weightings for different data. Monte Carlo simulation was run with the weighted PDF of each data as input to obtain the ultimate PDF for EIC. A case study to estimate the bitumen’s EIC with eight data samples were performed using the proposed methodology. It is found (1): the estimates by the proposed methodology is of higher reliability (lower COV) compared to any single data due to utilisation of information of the overall data samples; (2) the AHP weighting method is most favoured despite the results of the three weighting methods are close; (3) the central estimates of bitumen’s EIC are between5.4~5.8 MJ/kg. The proposed methodology is helpful in aiding calculating EICs for pavement materials and capturing uncertainties in LCA results in a statistical sense.

Reply to Comment by Lamy et al. on “Locating the source field lines of Jovian decametric radio emissions”

Locating the source of decametric (DAM) radio emissions is a key step in the use of remote radio observations to understand the Jovian magnetospheric dynamics and their interaction with the planet’s moons. Wang YM et al. (2020) presented a method by which recorded arc-shaped DAM emissions in the radio dynamic spectra can be used to locate the source of a DAM. An Io-related DAM event on March 14, 2014 was used to demonstrate the method. A key parameter in the method is whether the DAM is emitted in the northern or the southern hemisphere; the hemisphere of origin can be determined definitively from the polarization of the emission. Unfortunately, polarization information for the emission on March 14, 2014 event was not recorded. Our analysis assumed the source to be in the northern hemisphere. Lamy et al. (2022) argue convincingly that the source was probably in the southern hemisphere. We appreciate the helpful contribution of Lamy et al. (2022) to this discussion and have updated our analysis, this time assuming that the DAM source was in the southern hemisphere. We also explore the sensitivity of our method to another parameter — the height at which the value of fce,max, which is the maximal electron cyclotron frequency reached along the active magnetic flux tube, is adopted. Finally, we introduce our recent statistical study of 68 DAM events, which lays a more solid basis for testing the reliability of our method, which we continue to suggest is a promising tool by which remote radio observations can be used to locate the emission source of Jovian DAMs.
Genome-wide identification and evolution of WNK kinases in Bambusoideae and transcriptional profiling during abiotic stress in Phyllostachys edulis

With-no-lysine (WNK) kinases play vital roles in abiotic stress response, circadian rhythms, and regulation of flowering time in rice, Arabidopsis, and Glycine max. However, there are no previous reports of WNKs in the Bambusoideae, although genome sequences are available for diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid bamboo species. In the present study, we identified 41 WNK genes in five bamboo species and analysed gene evolution, phylogenetic relationship, physical and chemical properties, cis-elements, and conserved motifs. We predicted the structure of PeWNK proteins of moso bamboo and determined the exposed, buried, structural and functional amino acids. Real-time qPCR analysis revealed that PeWNK5, PeWNK7, PeWNK8, and PeWNK11 genes are involved in circadian rhythms. Analysis of gene expression of different organs at different developmental stages revealed that PeWNK genes are tissue-specific. Analysis of various abiotic stress transcriptome data (drought, salt, SA, and ABA) revealed significant gene expression levels in all PeWNKs except PeWNK11. In particular, PeWNK8 and PeWNK9 were significantly down- and up-regulated, respectively, after abiotic stress treatment. A co-expression network of PeWNK genes also showed that PeWNK2, PeWNK4, PeWNK7, and PeWNK8 were co-expressed with transcriptional regulators related to abiotic stress. In conclusion, our study identified the PeWNKs of moso bamboo involved in circadian rhythms and abiotic stress response. In addition, this study serves as a guide for future functional genomic studies of the WNK genes of the Bambusoideae.
EXPERIMENTAL AND X-Y MODEL SIMULATION INVESTIGATION ON THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN DIELECTRIC SPECTROSCOPY OF OIL- PAPER INSULATION SYSTEM

To assess the condition of oil paper insulation using the X-Y model simulation, a model transformer with the alternative geometry structure has been designed. Equivalence between X-Y model simulation and field frequency domain spectroscopy measurement is verified in this paper. Then the influences of geometric structure, oil conductivity, water content of pressboard and aging condition on the frequency domain spectroscopy results of oil-paper insulation system are investigated respectively. Results show that a “hump” is visible in the frequency spectroscopy of tanδ when the oil conductivity is higher. The frequency where the maximum value of the “hump” appears shifts to higher value with the increment of oil conductivity, but the maximum tanδ values are the same. The frequency of the maximum value of the “hump” also shifts to higher with the increment of X or Y value of the insulation structure, meanwhile the amplitude of the “hump” decreases. The frequency range influenced by water content of pressboard is related to oil conductivity. With the degradation of oil paper insulation, the frequency spectroscopy of tanδ shifts to higher frequency. A new method using X-Y model simulation to assess the ageing condition of transformer insulation is optimistic.
