6. Calculation of annual aircraft noise exposure for Geneva and Zurich airports with the next-generation program sonAIR - first results

Author

Schalcher, S., Zellmann, C., Meister, J., Wunderli, J. M., and Beat Schäffer

Abstract

The next-generation aircraft noise simulation program sonAIR was designed to precisely predict single flights with the scope of investigating and optimizing noise abatement flight procedures. Recently, sonAIR was implemented in a geographic information system (GIS) to make it suitable for noise mapping calculations of entire airport scenarios. In this study, we conducted first calculations of annual aircraft noise exposure with sonAIR for Geneva and Zurich airports, Switzerland, for the year 2017, simulating several 10'000 single flights and accounting for real conditions in great detail (e.g., detailed emission modelling and considering ground cover in the sound propagation calculation). Our calculations proved the ability of sonAIR to do annual aircraft noise calculations with many simulated flights. Comparing the results to those obtained with the best-practice program FLULA2, which is currently used for official aircraft noise calculations in Switzerland, we found that the noise contours differ on average little in areas with legally relevant noise exposure. However, locally larger differences may occur, primary due to varying ground cover and more detailed sound emission modelling. In this contribution, we present the process of sonAIR for annual aircraft noise calculations, show the most important results and discuss implications for future aircraft noise calculations around airports.

10. A Bluff-Bidding Exercise

Author

Meister, J. Patrick

Abstract

Consider an auction in which one potential buyer wishes to participate, but the other potential buyer would rather the bidding not start. However, once bidding starts, the reluctant firm participates (submits "bluff bids") simply to make the eventual winner pay more. This incentive exists when the marginal effect of the winning bid is to increase a rival's profit. In 2004, AT&T Wireless placed itself for sale in an English auction. Some predicted Vodafone would make bluff bids (to make Cingular pay more). Students experience this sort of activity in the game that this article describes. Students also learn that bluff bidding affects profits of the firms involved and therefore has important implications for stock prices of participating firms. (Contains 1 figure and 3 notes.)

11. A Classroom Auction with Externalities: Applied to Mergers and Acquisitions

Author

Meister, J. Patrick and Anderson, Kyle J.

Abstract

The authors describe an in-class exercise in which students participate in an auction to buy US Airways. The exercise is based on events of late 1995, in which neither United nor American Airlines decided to bid for US Airways. Two teams of students participate in an English auction. Students learn that the equilibrium of the sequential game is that neither firm bid and, thereby, learn why US Airways did not sell at that time. In addition, two other teams participate in a sealed-bid auction, in which US Airways will sell in Nash equilibrium. Results typically have lined up with theoretical predictions. (Contains 1 figure and 3 notes.)

Abstract

Background Peanut allergy has a rising prevalence in high-income countries, affecting 0.5%-1.4% of children. This study aimed to better understand peanut anaphylaxis in comparison to anaphylaxis to other food triggers in European children and adolescents. Methods Data was sourced from the European Anaphylaxis Registry via an online questionnaire, after in-depth review of food-induced anaphylaxis cases in a tertiary paediatric allergy centre. Results 3514 cases of food anaphylaxis were reported between July 2007 - March 2018, 56% in patients younger than 18 years. Peanut anaphylaxis was recorded in 459 children and adolescents (85% of all peanut anaphylaxis cases). Previous reactions (42% vs. 38%; p = .001), asthma comorbidity (47% vs. 35%; p < .001), relevant cofactors (29% vs. 22%; p = .004) and biphasic reactions (10% vs. 4%; p = .001) were more commonly reported in peanut anaphylaxis. Most cases were labelled as severe anaphylaxis (Ring&Messmer grade III 65% vs. 56% and grade IV 1.1% vs. 0.9%; p = .001). Self-administration of intramuscular adrenaline was low (17% vs. 15%), professional adrenaline administration was higher in non-peanut food anaphylaxis (34% vs. 26%; p = .003). Hospitalization was higher for peanut anaphylaxis (67% vs. 54%; p = .004). Conclusions The European Anaphylaxis Registry data confirmed peanut as one of the major causes of severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions in European children, with some characteristic features e.g., presence of asthma comorbidity and increased rate of biphasic reactions. Usage of intramuscular adrenaline as first-line treatment is low and needs to be improved. The Registry, designed as the largest database on anaphylaxis, allows continuous assessment of this condition.

24. Suitability of phytoliths as a quantitative process tracer for soil erosion studies

Author

Abstract

Phytoliths are a plant microfossil commonly used as qualitative archive markers in archaeological and paleoecological studies. Their potential uniqueness to the vegetation cover, robustness to weathering, and lack of chemical alteration along the transport paths make them potentially suitable tracers for quantitative erosion studies. In this pilot study, we explore the potential of phytoliths in a sediment fingerprinting study in the Ceguera catchment (28 km2) in NE Spain. The phytolith concentrations and morphologies of four land cover classes (agricultural land, badland, forest, and shrubland) were analyzed, and their contributions to four natural sediment mixture samples along the river course were modelled. Phytolith concentrations allowed us to discriminate sources sufficiently, albeit with limited sample size. The performance of the phytoliths as the tracer was tested by reproducing the sources of artificial sediment mixture samples with satisfactory recall ratio. Results identified badlands to be the main contributor, with 84–96% of the sediment load to the sinks, followed by shrublands (median 5%) and agricultural lands (median 2%). These major findings can be reproduced by other conventional erosion studies from this area, indicating that phytoliths are suited to quantifying erosion patterns in mesoscale catchments.

Abstract

In 1995, USAir placed itself for sale in an English auction. Interestingly, no bids were placed. This does not imply that the available firm is not a valuable acquisition. If losing reduces profits, firms wish to avoid a profit-reducing bidding war. However, in a sealed-bid auction (with no credible nonparticipation commitments), firms place profit-reducing bids in equilibrium. Also, a novelty of our analysis is the specification of the loser's profit rising with the price that the winner pays. This highlights an important explanation of bidding wars because a firm may bid simply to make the eventual winner pay a higher price. (JEL L1, L9), I. INTRODUCTION In October 1995, USAir (the United States' fifth-largest airline at the time) approached American Airlines first and then United Airlines about a possible buyout. American declined to bid, [...]

Abstract

Results of development and testing of the new medical imaging system are described. The system uses a planar array consisting of 256 electrodes and enables obtaining images of the three-dimensional conductivity distribution in regions below the skin's surface up to several centimeters deep. The developed measuring system and image reconstruction algorithm can be used for breast tissue imaging and diagnostics, in particular for malignant tumor detection. Examples of tomographic images obtained in vivo during clinical tests are presented. The mammary gland, being an organ-target, alters at the background with such physiological events as menstrual cycle, pregnancy, lactation, and postmenopause. The objectives of this paper include estimation of the possibilities of electrical impedance mammography for investigation of mammary glands' state among women with different hormonal status. We found that electrical impedance mammograms from different groups had clear visual distinctions and statistically significant differences in mammary glands' conductivity. Our data on conductivity distribution in the mammary gland during different physiological periods will allow us to use it as normal values in the future, to continue this research on mammary glands with different pathology. Index Terms--Breast tissue diagnostics, electrical impedance tomography, three-dimensional imaging.

Abstract

Vasomotion on portions of rat mesenteric and femoral arteries perfused in vitro was investigated. The effect of perfusion flow on the attributes of vasomotion and the characteristics and patterns of vasomotion were examined. Results showed that perfusion flow is not a control factor that contributes to the start of vasomotion although it has some slight effects on the frequency and amplitude of vasomotion. Also, vasomotion is low-dimensional chaotic.
