A systematic review of obesity as a barrier to accessing cancer screening services
Abstract Introduction Obesity is a known risk factor for the development of cancers, and a significant proportion of the population may be at risk of developing cancer owing to their weight status. There is acknowledged societal stigma towards people living with obesity, which can influence health behaviors and deter help seeking, such as cancer ...

White-Dwarf Asteroseismology With the Kepler Space Telescope
In the course of their evolution, white-dwarf stars go through at least one phase of variability in which the global pulsations they undergo allow astronomers to peer into their interiors, making it possible to shed light on their deep inner structure ...

Double White Dwarf Merger Products among High-mass White Dwarfs [PDF]
Double white dwarf (double-WD) binaries may merge within a Hubble time and produce high-mass WDs. Compared to other high-mass WDs, the double-WD merger products have higher velocity dispersion because they are older.

Detached white-dwarf close-binary stars -- CV's extended family [PDF]
I review detached binaries consisting of white dwarfs with either other white dwarfs or low mass main-sequence stars in tight orbits around them. Orbital periods have been measured for 15 white dwarf/white dwarf systems and 22 white dwarf/M dwarf systems.

Research Paper: The Effect of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle with Maximum Length on the Size of White Dwarfs [PDF]
The challenge in developing a theory of quantum gravity stems from the fundamentally different ways the two theories describe physical systems. Quantum mechanics operates on discrete, probabilistic principles, while general relativity is a continuous ...

A population synthesis study of the luminosity function of hot white dwarfs [PDF]
We present a coherent and detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the population of hot white dwarfs. We assess the statistical significance of the hot end of the white dwarf luminosity function and the role played by the bolometric corrections of hydrogen-rich white dwarfs at high effective temperatures.

The Pan-STARRS1 Planet Survey: Overview and first results
The Pan-STARRS1 Planet Survey (Pan-Planets) is a search for transiting extra-solar planets in the Galactic disk with a focus on planets around M-dwarfs and White dwarfs.

The necessity and feasibility of enhancing light outcoupling in perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) is highlighted. On near‐IR PeLEDs, low‐cost, micro‐textured light management (LM) foils demonstrate boost in light extraction. Optimizing perovskite thickness and the optical cavity in synergy with LM foils is crucial for maximizing performance ...

Abstract Digital inequality is a critical issue in our knowledge economy. Often digital inequality is framed as a problem that only older people encounter. This rather stereotypical portrayal can result in improvised and unsuccessful policy actions. The goal of the article is to take the experiences of citizens who never or seldom use information and ...
