A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…Although COVID-19 temporarily reduced delays due to decreased traffic, many large hubs have now returned to pre-pandemic levels, with strong growth expected in the coming years. Air traffic management divides the airspace into three sections: the airport control zone (taxiing, takeoff, landing), the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA, for climbs and descents), and the en-route airspace (cruise). …”

Differences in the effectiveness of individual-level smoking cessation interventions by socioeconomic status by Theodoulou, A, Fanshawe, TR, Leavens, E, Theodoulou, E, Wu, AD, Heath, L, Stewart, C, Nollen, N, Ahluwalia, JS, Butler, AR, Hajizadeh, A, Thomas, J, Lindson, N, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…There was very low‐certainty evidence of no difference in quit rates by SES for face‐to‐face counselling compared to less intensive counselling, balanced components, or usual care. However, the CI included the possibility of favouring lower and higher SES groups (ROR 1.26, 95% CI 0.18 to 8.93; from 1 of 6 studies, 294 participants; 5 studies reported no difference), indicating a possibly neutral impact. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…Twenty-nine of the volumes are now located at the British Library, London, while one volume is to be found at Oxford University's Bodleian Library, and two illuminated title folios at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.1 We have very little information about the collection's history, and there does not even appear to be a clear record of its fate on leaving Tibet, so we are not certain whether it was complete in 1904 and thus whether any of the presently missing volumes might come to light elsewhere.2</p> <p>The rNying ma'i rgyud 'bum - the "Ancient Tantra Collection" - had canonical status for the rNying ma schools, who were followers of the tantras traditionally associated with the earliest transmission of Buddhism into Tibet, during the Tibetan Imperial period (between the seventh to ninth centuries CE). …”
