Three Small Planets Transiting a Hyades Star

We present the discovery of three small planets transiting K2-136 (LP 358 348, EPIC 247589423), a late K dwarf in the Hyades. The planets have orbital periods of 7.9757 ± 0.0011, 17.30681-0.00036+0.00034, and 25.5715-0.0040+0.0038 days, and radii of 1.05 ± 0.16, 3.14 ± 0.36, and 1.55-0.21+0.24 R⊕, respectively. With an age of 600-800 Myr, these planets are some of the smallest and youngest transit

K2-137 b : An Earth-sized planet in a 4.3-h orbit around an M-dwarf

We report the discovery in K2's Campaign 10 of a transiting terrestrial planet in an ultrashort- period orbit around an M3-dwarf. K2-137 b completes an orbit in only 4.3 h, the second shortest orbital period of any known planet, just 4 min longer than that of KOI 1843.03, which also orbits an M-dwarf. Using a combination of archival images, adaptive optics imaging, radial velocity measurements, an

Proteomic analysis of brain metastatic lung adenocarcinoma reveals intertumoral heterogeneity and specific alterations associated with the timing of brain metastases

Background: Brain metastases are associated with considerable negative effects on patients’ outcome in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Here, we investigated the proteomic landscape of primary LADCs and their corresponding brain metastases. Materials and methods: Proteomic profiling was conducted on 20 surgically resected primary and brain metastatic LADC samples via label-free shotgun proteomics. Afte

The discovery and mass measurement of a new ultra-short-period Planet : K2-131b

We report the discovery of a new ultra-short-period planet and summarize the properties of all such planets for which the mass and radius have been measured. The new planet, K2-131b, was discovered in K2 Campaign 10. It has a radius of and orbits a G dwarf with a period of 8.9 hr. Radial velocities obtained with Magellan/PFS and TNG/HARPS-N show evidence for stellar activity along with orbital mot

Three Super-Earths Transiting the Nearby Star GJ 9827

We report on the discovery of three transiting planets around GJ 9827. The planets have radii of 1.75±0.18, 1.36±0.14, and 2.11 0.21 0.22 - + R⊕, and periods of 1.20896, 3.6480, and 6.2014 days, respectively. The detection was made in Campaign 12 observations as part of our K2 survey of nearby stars. GJ 9827 is a V = 10.39 mag K6V star at a distance of 30.3±1.6 parsecs and the nearest star to be f

K2-106, a system containing a metal-rich planet and a planet of lower density

Aims. Planets in the mass range from 2 to 15 M⊙ are very diverse. Some of them have low densities, while others are very dense. By measuring the masses and radii, the mean densities, structure, and composition of the planets are constrained. These parameters also give us important information about their formation and evolution, and about possible processes for atmospheric loss. Methods. We determ

The Transiting Multi-planet System HD 3167 : A 5.7 M Super-Earth and an 8.3 M Mini-Neptune

HD 3167 is a bright (V = 8.9 mag) K0 V star observed by NASA's K2 space mission during its Campaign 8. It has recently been found to host two small transiting planets, namely, HD 3167b, an ultra-short-period (0.96 days) super-Earth, and HD 3167c, a mini-Neptune on a relatively long-period orbit (29.85 days). Here we present an intensive radial velocity (RV) follow-up of HD 3167 performed with the

PLATE : Project in language assessment for teaching in English

Copenhagen Business School (CBS) finds itself needing to address the issue of English-medium instruction for its increasing number of foreign exchange and full degree students. With internationalisation as a main pillar of the institution’s agenda, there are concerns whether the teaching faculty’s level of English is sufficient for the increasing number of courses offered in English each semester.

Investigations on enhanced Fischer–Burmeister NCP functions : application to a rate-dependent model for ferroelectrics

This contribution deals with investigations on enhanced Fischer–Burmeister nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) functions applied to a rate-dependent laminate-based material model for ferroelectrics. The framework is based on the modelling and parametrisation of the material’s microstructure via laminates together with the respective volume fractions. These volume fractions are treated as inter

Hereditary colorectal cancer diagnostics in southern Sweden : retrospective evaluation and future considerations with emphasis on Lynch syndrome

Overlapping phenotypes between different hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndromes together with a growing demand for cancer genetic testing and improved sequencing technology call for adjusted patient selection and adapted diagnostic routines. Here we present a retrospective evaluation of family history of cancer, laboratory diagnostic procedure, and outcome for 372 patients tested for Lynch s

FGFR3 mutation increases bladder tumourigenesis by suppressing acute inflammation

Recent studies of muscle-invasive bladder cancer show that FGFR3 mutations are generally found in a luminal papillary tumour subtype that is characterised by better survival than other molecular subtypes. To better understand the role of FGFR3 in invasive bladder cancer, we examined the process of tumour development induced by the tobacco carcinogen OH-BBN in genetically engineered models that exp

Educational inequalities in fracture-related mortality using multiple cause of death data in the Skåne region, Sweden

AIM: To assess the absolute and relative educational inequalities in mortality from hip and non-hip fractures in Skåne region, Sweden.METHODS: We conducted a population-based open cohort study. People aged 30-99 years, resident in the region during 1998-2013 ( n = 999, 148) were followed until death, their 100th birthday, relocation outside Skåne, or the end of 2014. We obtained individual-level d

Factors associated with patients' willingness to consider joint surgery after completion of a digital osteoarthritis treatment program : A prospective cohort study

OBJECTIVES: To examine patient willingness and possible shift in willingness for surgery and to investigate factors associated with this shift, following participation in the digital non-surgical osteoarthritis (OA) treatment program Joint Academy.METHODS: 458 individuals (mean age 62±5.6 years, 67% women) with diagnosed hip or knee were evaluated after six weeks in Joint Academy, comprising educa

Athlete’s Heart : Diagnostic Challenges and Future Perspectives

Distinguishing between adaptive and maladaptive cardiovascular response to exercise is crucial to prevent the unnecessary termination of an athlete’s career and to minimize the risk of sudden death. This is a challenging task essentially due to the substantial phenotypic overlap between electrical and structural changes seen in the physiological athletic heart remodeling and pathological changes s

Predictors of responses to clinic-based childhood obesity care

Background/Objective: Lifestyle modification is the therapy of choice for childhood obesity, yet the response rate is variable and may be affected by genetic factors. We aimed to investigate predictors of poor response to lifestyle modification obesity treatment in children. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 434 youths (64.5% females) between 4 and 20 years of age undergoing a standard care o
