Recent advances in technology have encouraged proposals for new approaches to ATC in Europe and elsewhere. Two such proposals, both rather loosely framed, are for ‘free flight’ or for ‘seamless contracts’; otherwise ‘tubes of flight’. These concepts, and variations on them, aim to increase the traffic capacity of the airspace. They have been the subject of numerous published papers. Given the declared objects of these systems, it is surprising that, nearly without exception, these papers discuss the proposals only in qualitative terms. The present paper discusses idealised versions of these systems on the basis of quantitative studies. It is concluded that the ‘seamless contract’ is very probably unworkable in Europe. ‘free flight’ is workable in principle, but there is a need for investigation of possible mechanisms by which last-minute problems may be resolved.

My remarks explore the role of theory in making progress in science generally and particularly in ecology. I discuss what theory is (and isn’t). I argue that theory is a fundamentally important part of doing science efficiently, and I discuss some exciting new approaches for combining theory, data, and statistics to enhance scientific understanding. I illustrate these approaches using examples from work on foraging by mammalian herbivores.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal form of brain tumor and remains a large, unmet medical need. This review focuses on recent advances in the neurosciences that converge with the broader field of immuno-oncology. Recent findings in neuroanatomy provide a basis for new approaches of cellular therapies for tumors that involve the CNS. The ultimate success of immunotherapy in the CNS will require improved imaging technologies and methods for analysis of the tumor microenvironment in patients with GBM. It is likely that combinatorial approaches with targeted immunotherapies will be required to exploit the vulnerabilities of GBM and other brain tumors.

Abstract The demand for platelet transfusions continues to grow. Several complementary approaches that may help meet this demand in the future are reviewed. First, platelet bacterial testing is beginning to allow the extension of platelet storage beyond 5 days. Studies are also underway aimed at better preserving viability and function during ex vivo platelet storage: additive solutions and other approaches are being developed to try to negate the “platelet storage lesion.” Finally, new approaches to dosing platelets may help extend the limited supply.

The last decade brought great progress in describing the repertoire of microbes associated with plants and identifying principles of their interactions. Metabolites exuded by plant roots have been considered candidates for the mechanisms by which plants shape their root microbiome. Here, we review the evidence for several plant metabolites affecting plant interaction with microbes belowground. We also discuss the development of new approaches to study the mechanisms of such interaction that will help to elucidate the metabolic networks in the rhizosphere.
