10.1287/mnsc.2016.2500 | Computer_Science_353 | The findings likely open the door for future research on how the unbundling of airline services influences the performance of their operations, Arikan says. | At the aggregate level we find that the airlines that began charging for one checked bag saw a significant relative improvement in their on-time departure performance in the 35-day period afterwards, compared to the airlines that were not charging for a checked bag during the same time period. | The number of baggage-related complaints per 1,000 passengers dropped as airlines' departure delay performance improved once most charged for checked bags. The findings likely open the door for future research on how the unbundling of airline services influences the performance of their operations, Arikan says. Southwest offers the most bundled services among major airlines as it offers the fewest instances of charging customers beyond their tickets. | A notable exception to the charging for checked bags trend was Southwest Airlines, who turned their resistance to this practice into a "Bags Fly Free" marketing campaign. At the aggregate level we find that the airlines that began charging for one checked bag saw a significant relative improvement in their on-time departure performance in the 35-day period afterwards, compared to the airlines that were not charging for a checked bag during the same time period. However, charging a fee for both checked bags results in a worse on-time departure performance compared to charging for one checked bag. | [2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 4.0, 1.0] | Computer_Science | train | 2.2 | news | http://www.futurity.org/airplanes-baggage-fees-1234212-2/ |

So, a drop in total baggage volume benefits not only the airlines that charge baggage fees but also those that do not. Southwest's improved departure time performance was not as significant as its rival airlines, which did charge for checked bags, and it appears to have hurt one of Southwest's historical competitive advantages in customer service. | The coefficient of Bag-Fee corresponding to one checked bag fee is not significant, whereas the coefficient of Bag-Fee corresponding to the first two checked bags fees is negative and statistically significant (-0.3796; p<0.0001), providing partial support for Hypothesis H3b. These results indicate that any anticipated change in departure performance due to one checked bag fee policy was not originally captured in airlines' scheduled block times. The airlines were not able to capture it as they typically schedule the block times about six months in advance that airlines decreased the scheduled block times and, given the longer time span over which the first two checked bags fees policy was implemented, the effect is captured in our results. | [2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 2.0] | Computer_Science | train | 2.6 | news | http://www.futurity.org/airplanes-baggage-fees-1234212-2/ |

Ge and Schnable also showed that conventional RGB imagery from the phenotyping system can be used to estimate the daily growth of corn plants - and how efficiently they use water to stimulate that growth - during their first few weeks of development. Ge and Schnable found that the software's estimates of plant size correlated strongly with their own measurements of plant weight, leaf area and water use efficiency. The methods required to establish those baseline values help illustrate why the RGB and hyperspectral imaging techniques should prove so useful, the researchers said. | By grouping daily WUE, it is also possible to estimate WUE at particular growth stages along plant's life cycle.

Charging for the first or second checked bag improved on-time departure performance for all major airlines--including Southwest Airlines, which does not charge for the first two bags--because it creates savings due to a cultural shift among US passengers to travel with less baggage. This shift resulted in a lower demand for airport labor-intensive, back-end operations such as baggage handling and security checks, which are shared resources across airlines. So, a drop in total baggage volume benefits not only the airlines that charge baggage fees but also those that do not. | When the other airlines started charging for one checked bag, Southwest Airlines' decision to not charge for bags went against their high operational service level strategy as their relative departure delay performance initially decreased. When the other airlines began charging for the first two checked bags, however, Southwest's decision appears to be in line with their strategy. While bags may not really "fly free" in an operational sense at Southwest, not charging passengers for checking bags does seem to help avoid the worst carry-on abuses seen at other airlines that have led to a degradation of on-time departure performance. | [2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 4.0] | Computer_Science | train | 2.5 | news | http://www.futurity.org/airplanes-baggage-fees-1234212-2/ |

Charging for the first or second checked bag improved on-time departure performance for all major airlines--including Southwest Airlines, which does not charge for the first two bags--because it creates savings due to a cultural shift among US passengers to travel with less baggage.

It is crucial to give an account as to how the abstract represents the physical. Models are not isolated: they emerge from within certain theories. | While these two directions of representation are not absolutely disjoint, the exasperation sometimes expressed by experimentalists towards the unrealistic demands of theorists has its roots in the asymmetries of the representation relation between physical and abstract entities. The two directions of the representation relation, modelling from physical to abstract, and instantiation from abstract to physical, lie at the heart of our questions around when a physical system computes. This is an important point: the representation relation is theory-dependent. | [3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 3.0, 2.0] | Computer_Science | train | 3.4 | news | http://www.technology.org/2014/05/08/scientists-provide-new-universal-definition-computing/ |
