Estimating the health consequences of flight attendant work: comparing flight attendant health to the general population in a cross-sectional study [PDF]
BMC Public Health, 2018 Background Flight attendants are an understudied occupational group, despite undergoing a wide and unique range of adverse job-related exposures. In our study, we aimed to characterize the health profile of cabin crew relative to the U.S.

Identification of a new stem cell population that generates Drosophila flight muscles
eLife, 2014 How myoblast populations are regulated for the formation of muscles of different sizes is an essentially unanswered question. The large flight muscles of Drosophila develop from adult muscle progenitor (AMP) cells set-aside embryonically.

Return-to-fly after flow diversion for unruptured paraclinoid aneurysms in military pilots [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyObjectiveAdvances in neuroimaging have increased detection of unruptured paraclinoid aneurysms among military pilots, a population subjected to unique environmental stressors that may elevate rupture risk.

A population of descending neurons that regulates the flight motor of Drosophila [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 SummaryLike many insect species, Drosophila melanogaster are capable of maintaining a stable flight trajectory for periods lasting up to several hours(1, 2). Because aerodynamic torque is roughly proportional to the fifth power of wing length(3), even small asymmetries in wing size require the maintenance of subtle bilateral differences in flapping ...

Insects, 2022 The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is capable of long-distance migration; thus, evaluation of its flight capability is relevant to the design of monitoring and control strategies for this pest.

Population Biology of Lymphocytes: The Flight for Survival [PDF]
Annual Review of Immunology, 2000 In this essay we suggest that the primary goal of the cells of the immune system is to ensure their own growth and survival. In adults, in steady-state conditions, the number and distribution of lymphocyte populations is under homeostatic control. New lymphocytes that are continuously produced in primary and secondary lymphoid organs must compete with ...

Survey of Lévy Flight-Based Metaheuristics for Optimization
Mathematics, 2022 Lévy flight is a random walk mechanism which can make large jumps at local locations with a high probability. The probability density distribution of Lévy flight was characterized by sharp peaks, asymmetry, and trailing.

Hearing Health Risk in a Population of Aircraft Carrier Flight Deck Personnel [PDF]
Military Medicine, 2004 This study evaluated the risk to hearing health associated with duty on the flight deck of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier. Descriptive data includes time-weighted average noise exposure and an evaluation of temporary threshold shift for a group of nonaviator flight deck personnel (FD), and a comparison of accrued permanent threshold shift among three ...
