Examining the Economic Costs of the 2003 Halloween Storm Effects on the North Hemisphere Aviation Using Flight Data in 2019 by Dabin Xue, Jian Yang, Zhizhao Liu, Shiwei Yu

“…We find that (a) as the high‐frequency communication blackouts may lead to polar flight rerouting and cancellations, possible daily economic costs could range from €0.21 million to €2.20 million per day; (b) during the satellite navigation failure period in the continental United States, as aircraft utilizes ground navigation aids as a backup, the increased flying time and disrupted descent approach operations may lead to additional cost of €2.43 million; (c) a surveillance failure can reduce airspace capacity and increase the workload of air traffic controllers, resulting in fatigue and perhaps risking flight safety; (d) to prevent massive cosmic radiation exposure, the economic costs of flight cancellations can be from €2.77 million to €48.97 million, depending on the cosmic radiation dose limits for a given plan. …”

The spectrum-efficacy correlation of Kai-Xin-San for cognition of Aβ42 transgenic Drosophila and verification of its active ingredients by Jinfu Wu, Hang Sun, Yiyang Zhao, Lian Lian, Hongsheng Bian, Yong Guo, Dan Li, Lili Huang

“…Treatment with KXS (1%, for 4 days) significantly enhanced the performance index of Aβ42 flies in the olfactory experiment. Both spectrum-effect analysis and validation tests indicated that polygalaxanthone III, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Rb1, β-asarone, and α-asarone were positively correlated with the performance index and improved the performance index in the olfactory experiment. …”

GENOME POLITICS: STRATEGY AND TACTICS by Jonas Rubikas

“…For better realization of information in some cases the genome changes the usual way of expression, that is, the genome uses some tactical approaches: at the DNA level - restructuring of the genome (mating type in yeasts, sex determination in some flies and worms, V(D)J recombination in immunoglobulin genes in human B lymphocytes); at the RNA level - gene splicing, alternative and self splicing, RNA editing; at the protein level - protein splicing. …”

Threats and the active protection of birds in a riverbed: postulates for the strategy of the preservation of the middle Vistula River avifauna by Dariusz Bukaciński, Monika Bukacińska, Arkadiusz Buczyński

“…While in 1985-1994 the main risks for their breeding were found to be flood waters, predation by the hooded crow Corvus corone cornix and the Eurasian magpie Pica pica, as well as, locally, uncontrolled livestock grazing, in 2005-2014 they were primarily predation pressure from the American mink Neovision vision and the red fox Vulpes vulpes and massive outbreaks of black flies Simuliidae. These threats led to a reproductive outcome of nearly zero and increased the mortality of adults in their breeding areas. …”

LIM-kinase 1 effects on memory abilities and male courtship song in Drosophila depend on the neuronal type by A. V. Zhuravlev, E. S. Zalomaeva, E. S. Egozova, A. D. Emelin, V. V. Sokurova, E. A. Nikitina, E. V. Savvateeva-Popova

“…The hybrid strain with limk1 interference in MB lobes and glia showed an increase in 3-h short-term memory (STM), without significant effects on long-term memory. limk1 interference in cholinergic neurons (CHN) impaired STM, while its interference in DAN and serotoninergic neurons (SRN) also dramatically impaired the flies’ learning ability. By contrast, limk1 interference in fruitless neurons (FRN) resulted in increased 15–60 min STM, indicating a possible LIMK1 role in active forgetting. …”
