TL;DR: Induction of labor at 39 weeks in low‐risk nulliparous women did not result in a significantly lower frequency of a composite adverse perinatal outcome, but it did result in less frequency of cesarean delivery.
Abstract: Background The perinatal and maternal consequences of induction of labor at 39 weeks among low-risk nulliparous women are uncertain. Methods In this multicenter trial, we randomly assigned...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of collision centrality on the transverse momentum of PbPb collisions at the LHC with a data sample of 6.7 inverse microbarns.
Abstract: Jet production in PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV was studied with the CMS detector at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.7 inverse microbarns. Jets are reconstructed using the energy deposited in the CMS calorimeters and studied as a function of collision centrality. With increasing collision centrality, a striking imbalance in dijet transverse momentum is observed, consistent with jet quenching. The observed effect extends from the lower cut-off used in this study (jet transverse momentum = 120 GeV/c) up to the statistical limit of the available data sample (jet transverse momentum approximately 210 GeV/c). Correlations of charged particle tracks with jets indicate that the momentum imbalance is accompanied by a softening of the fragmentation pattern of the second most energetic, away-side jet. The dijet momentum balance is recovered when integrating low transverse momentum particles distributed over a wide angular range relative to the direction of the away-side jet.

TL;DR: An empirical relation between the degree of bending and the altered electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels that allows estimation of protein-induced bends is generated.
Abstract: Protein-induced DNA bending is an important element in the structure of many protein-DNA complexes, including those involved in replication, transcription, and recombination. To understand these structures, the path followed by the DNA in each complex must be established. We have generated an empirical relation between the degree of bending and the altered electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels that allows estimation of protein-induced bends. This technique has been used to analyze 17 different protein-DNA complexes formed by six proteins including the four proteins involved in lambda site-specific recombination. The simplicity of this technique should make it useful in estimating angles for the construction of models of protein-DNA complexes and readily applicable to many systems where questions of higher-order structure are important for understanding function.
