Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation induces tidal melatonin secretion and has an antidiabetic effect in Zucker fatty rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Melatonin plays a protective role in type 2 diabetes (T2D) through regulation of glucose metabolism. Whether transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is antidiabetic and whether a modulated melatonin production is involved in the antidiabetic ...

Disk Evolution and Bar Triggering Driven by Interactions with Dark Matter Substructure

, 2008
We study formation and evolution of bar-disk systems in fully self-consistent cosmological simulations of galaxy formation in the LCDM WMAP3 Universe. In a representative model we find that the first generation of bars form in response to the asymmetric ...

Variability of Tidal Volume in Patient-Triggered Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2017
Limiting tidal volume (VT) in patients with ARDS may not be achieved once patient-triggered breaths occur. Furthermore, ICU ventilators offer numerous patient-triggered modes that work differently across brands. We systematically investigated, using a bench model, the effect of patient-triggered modes on the size and variability of VT at different ...

Rethinking Perioperative Corticosteroids in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: Evidence From an Integrative Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Esophagectomy remains a highly invasive procedure associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Pulmonary complications, anastomotic leakage, and in‐hospital mortality are of particular concern. Perioperative corticosteroids are often administered to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses; however, the clinical impact in ...

Lessons Learnt from Restoring a Tidal Marsh by Enlarging the Intertidal Basin (Zwin Inlet, Belgium/The Netherlands)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Tidal inlets regulate the exchange of water and sediment between the open sea and adjacent basins. In many locations, engineering interventions combined with coastal protections and polders have intensified erosion and scouring.

Tidal triggering evidence of intermediate depth earthquakes in the Vrancea zone (Romania) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2007
Tidal triggering evidence of intermediate earthquakes in the Vrancea region (Romania) is investigated. The Vrancea seismic zone is located in the bend region of the South-Eastern Carpathians (45°–46° N, 25.5°&ndash ...

Correlations between solid tides and worldwide earthquakes M_S ≥ 7.0 since 1900 [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012
Most studies on the correlations between earthquakes and solid tides mainly concluded the syzygies (i.e. new or full moons) of each lunar cycle have more earthquakes than other days in the month.

Mergers and interactions in SDSS type 2 quasars at z~0.3-0.4. SDSS J143027.66-005614.8: a case study

, 2012
We present a compilation of HST images of 58 luminous SDSS type 2 AGNs at 0.359%) show clear signatures of morphological disturbance which are in most cases identified with merger/interaction processes.

Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Merger of Noncompact Binaries: Triggering Mechanisms and Merger Timescales of W UMa Contact Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal
The merger of noncompact binaries can produce a variety of significant celestial objects, including blue stragglers, luminous red novae, and others. However, several key details of the merger of noncompact binaries remain unclear.
