Air Traffic Efficiency Analysis of Airliner Scheduled Flights Using Collaborative Actions for Renovation of Air Traffic Systems Open Data by Akinori Harada, Tooru Ezaki, Tomoaki Wakayama, Koichi Oka

“…Following a statistical comparison between the original and the optimized flights, it was observed that two types of features, namely, flying on a detoured path and flying with nonoptimal altitude and speed in the cruise phase, are major factors which deteriorate the total operational efficiency in terms of fuel consumption, flight time, and flight distance.…”

Pseudomonas cold shock proteins suppress bacterial effector translocation in Nicotiana benthamiana by Shen Cong, Jun-Zhou Li, Mei-Ran Zhang, Mei-Ran Zhang, Hai-Lei Wei, Wei Zhang

“…Genetic analysis revealed that these CSPs did not contribute to the ROS burst or HR inhibition in vivo but were functionally redundant in suppressing effector translocation in a flagellin (FliC)-independent manner. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the suppression of effector translocation mediated by CSPs was less pronounced compared to that triggered by FliC. …”
