It has been suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters might reach several per cent, significantly higher than that of the field (~a per cent). In a stellar cluster, when a planetary system scatters with a stellar binary, it may acquire a companion star, which may excite large-amplitude von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai oscillations in the planet's orbital eccentricity, trigger
OBJECTIVE: Some patients regain weight to a variable extent from 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), though rarely reaching preoperative values. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether, when, and to what extent metabolic remission occurs.METHODS: Fasting metabolite and lipid profiles were determined in blood plasma collected from a nonrandomized intervention study
Addresses the issue whether computer modelling techniques developed for humid climates are applicable in runoff forecasting in the semi-arid zone. Four different simulation models were applied to a partly urbanized catchment in northern Tunisia. Two of the models used were developed for urban runoff simulation (SWMM and ILLUDAS) and two for typical rural application (HBV and VANMOD). -Authors
This paper presents the results of a production experiment on the syntax–prosody mapping in Tokyo Japanese, whereby the phonetic realization of syntactic phrase and clause boundaries were systematically compared. The data consist of 672 utterances of read speech from fourteen subjects. The results corroborate earlier findings on the mapping of syntactic phrases to phonological phrases, but do not
OBJECTIVE: To study the interaction among HLA genotype, early probiotic exposure, and timing of complementary foods in relation to risk of islet autoimmunity (IA).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The TEDDY study prospectively follows 8,676 children with increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes. We used a Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusting for potential confounders to study early feed
Background: Using multi-block methods we combined multimodal neuroimaging metrics of thalamic morphology, thalamic white matter tract diffusion metrics, and cortical thickness to examine changes in behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia. (bvFTD). Method: Twenty-three patients with sporadic bvFTD and 24 healthy controls underwent structural and diffusion MRI scans. Clinical severity was assess
•Robberies as well as mental distress have increased among adolescents in Sweden.•This study on school students in southern Sweden was population-based with a high response rate.•Half of the robbed adolescents abstained from police reporting.•Non-reporters had poorer mental health than victims who reported the robbery.•Non-reporters were also an overall more disadvantaged group.
In recent weeks, Sweden has experienced several Quran-burning incidents. These can reinforce anti-religious discourse and politicised campaigns against religious minorities. They can also put Swedish multicultural harmony at risk. Azher Hameed Qamar argues that we must interpret the laws permitting Quran-burnings as being in the best interest of the people

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Syncope is a common condition with many possible causes, ranging from benign to life-threatening aetiologies. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult and specialized syncope units, using cardiovascular autonomic tests (CAT) including head-up tilt test can increase the diagnostic yield. However, up to one fifth of examined patients have inconclusive CAT results. The aim of the
Lung cancer represents the leading cause of annual cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for 12.9%. The available treatment options for patients who experience disease progression remain limited. Targeted therapeutic approaches are promising but further understanding of the role of genetic alterations in tumorigenesis is imperative. The MET gene has garnered great interest in this regard. Th
We discuss two approaches for the formulation and implementation of space-time discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods (DG-SEM). In one, time is treated as an additional coordinate direction and a Galerkin procedure is applied to the entire problem. In the other, the method of lines is used with DG-SEM in space and the fully implicit Runge–Kutta method Lobatto IIIC in time. The two approac
Subsurface reservoirs are large complex systems. Reservoir flow models are defined on complex grids that follow geology with relatively large block sizes to make consistent simulations feasible. Reservoir engineers rely on established reservoir simulation software to model fluid flow. Nevertheless, fluid front position inaccuracies and front smearing on large grids may cause significant errors and
