A New Model for Nowcasting the Aviation Radiation Environment With Comparisons to In Situ Measurements During GLEs by A. D. P. Hands, F. Lei, C. S. Davis, B. J. Clewer, C. S. Dyer, K. A. Ryden

“…The Model for Atmospheric Ionising Radiation Effects (MAIRE+) uses multiple data sources to characterize primary GCR and GLE particle spectra and combines these with precalculated geomagnetic and atmospheric response matrices to predict particle fluxes from ground level to 20 km altitude across the entire globe. Two European neutron monitors (located at Oulu in Finland and Dourbes in Belgium) are used as the primary indicators of GLE intensity in order to maximize accuracy over UK airspace. …”

Searching for a common host: parasitoids of Lema daturaphila on Datura stramonium in Central Mexico by Carol Estefanía Villanueva-Hernández, Juan Núñez-Farfán

“…The abundance of Emersonella lemae, the egg parasitoid, is related to the clutch size of L. daturaphila and climatic conditions such as temperature, altitude, and precipitation. As an apparent defense strategy against parasitoid flies, larvae of L. daturaphila release their oral secretions, which contain alkaloids from D. stramonium. …”

Real‐Time Thermospheric Density Estimation via Two‐Line Element Data Assimilation by David J. Gondelach, Richard Linares

“…Three different models are developed based on density data from the TIE‐GCM, NRLMSISE‐00, and JB2008 thermosphere models and are valid from 100 to maximum 800 km altitude. Using the models and TLE data, the global density is estimated by simultaneously estimating the density and the orbits and ballistic coefficients of several objects using a Kalman filter. …”

Elevated VEGF Levels in Pulmonary Edema Fluid and PBMCs from Patients with Acute Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome by Irina Gavrilovskaya, Elena Gorbunova, Frederick Koster, Erich Mackow

“…Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is induced by hypoxia, potently induces vascular permeability, and is associated with high-altitude-induced pulmonary edema. Hantaviruses alter the normal regulation of β3 integrins that restrict VEGF-directed permeability and hantavirus infected endothelial cells are hyperresponsive to the permeabilizing effects of VEGF. …”

RESULTS OF USING SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL IN TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT ON DIFFERENT FLIGHT LEVELS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON CARBON-DIOXIDE CO2 EMISSIONS by Dragan LAZIC, Vladimir GRUJIC, Dragan CVETKOVIC

“…In the case of the aircraft DHC Dash 8 Q 400, the engineering preparation of the flight for calculating the changes of travel propellant while the switch of the flight altitude was being done. By analyzing nine various levels of flight, the conclusion has been indisputably reached that regardless of the vast altitudes of a flight and the horizontal distance covered during climb and descent, the fuel consumption is significantly lower than while flying at much lower altitudes with much lower horizontal distance in climb and descent. …”
