The effect of gravitational-wave recoil on the demography of massive black holes [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J. 606 (2004) L17-L20, 2004
The coalescence of massive black hole (MBH) binaries following galaxy mergers is one of the main sources of low-frequency gravitational radiation. A higher-order relativistic phenomenon, the recoil as a result of the non-zero net linear momentum carried away by gravitational waves, may have interesting consequences for the demography of MBHs at the ...

Peripheral blood leukocyte signatures as biomarkers in relapsed ovarian cancer patients receiving combined anti‐CD73/anti‐PD‐L1 immunotherapy in arm A of the NSGO‐OV‐UMB1/ENGOT‐OV30 trial

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using mass cytometry, we analyzed serial blood samples from patients with relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated with oleclumab–durvalumab combination immunotherapy in the NSGO‐OV‐UMB1/ENGOT‐OV30 trial. Our analysis identified potential predictive, monitoring, and response biomarkers detectable through liquid biopsy. These findings facilitate

Causal assessment in demographic research

open access: yesGenus, 2020
Causation underlies both research and policy interventions. Causal inference in demography is however far from easy, and few causal claims are probably sustainable in this field. This paper targets the assessment of causality in demographic research.

The McDonald-Kreitman Test and its Extensions under Frequent Adaptation: Problems and Solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Population genomic studies have shown that genetic draft and background selection can profoundly affect the genome-wide patterns of molecular variation. We performed forward simulations under realistic gene-structure and selection scenarios to investigate whether such linkage effects impinge on the ability of the McDonald-Kreitman (MK) test to infer ...

Evolution of accretion disks around massive black holes: constraints from the demography of active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J. 634 (2005) 901-909, 2005
Observations have shown that the Eddington ratios (the ratio of the bolometric luminosity to the Eddington luminosity) in QSOs/active galactic nuclei (AGNs) cover a wide range. In this paper we connect the demography of AGNs obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with the accretion physics around massive black holes and propose that the diversity in ...

Plasma lipidomic and metabolomic profiles in high‐grade glioma patients before and after 72‐h presurgery water‐only fasting

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.

Enhancing patient engagement in cancer research: a focus on patient‐centric approaches to scientific discovery

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Patient engagement involves actively including patients in healthcare decisions and research to ensure care and studies align with their needs. This approach improves outcomes, trust, and communication while fostering collaboration between patients and professionals.

Demography and disease characteristics of prostate cancer in India

open access: yesIndian Journal of Urology, 2016
Introduction: The incidence of prostate cancer has shown significant variation across the globe. Though the prevalence and characteristics of this disease have been extensively studied in many countries, data regarding the true incidence of prostate ...

Microbial metabolism: optimal control of uptake versus synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ 2:e267, 2014
Microbes require several complex organic molecules for growth. A species may obtain a required factor by taking up molecules released by other species or by synthesizing the molecule. The patterns of uptake and synthesis set a flow of resources through the multiple species that create a microbial community.

Demography Is Not Destiny, Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Looks at the impending demographic challenges of the aging American population. Considers the impact of factors in addition to anticipated changes in the size and age distribution, particularly those related to the economy and public ...
