TL;DR: Targeted sequencing improves Neandertal mitochondrial DNA retrieval and reveals low diversity among individuals, and together with analyses of mtDNA protein evolution, these data suggest that the long-term effective population size of Ne andertals was smaller than that of modern humans and extant great apes.
Abstract: Analysis of Neandertal DNA holds great potential for investigating the population history of this group of hominins, but progress has been limited due to the rarity of samples and damaged state of the DNA. We present a method of targeted ancient DNA sequence retrieval that greatly reduces sample destruction and sequencing demands and use this method to reconstruct the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genomes of five Neandertals from across their geographic range. We find that mtDNA genetic diversity in Neandertals that lived 38,000 to 70,000 years ago was approximately one-third of that in contemporary modern humans. Together with analyses of mtDNA protein evolution, these data suggest that the long-term effective population size of Neandertals was smaller than that of modern humans and extant great apes.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that melatonin administration decreases the percentage of damaged cells, porphyrin synthesis, and aminolevulinate synthase (ALA‐S) mRNA levels and increases the mRNA levels for manganese superoxide‐dismutase and copper‐zinc superoxide dismutase.
Abstract: It is well known that porphyrins cause a toxic light-mediated effect due to their capability to generate free radicals. Several reports have proved that melatonin is a potent free radical scavenger. The aim of this work has been to study the ability of melatonin to prevent the cell damage caused by porphyrins in the Harderian gland of female Syrian hamsters. Cell injury was evaluated estimating the percentage of damaged cells found in the gland and analyzing the degree of this damage at ultrastructural level. To explain the mechanism by which this hormone could prevent the cell damage caused by porphyrins, its capability to both decrease porphyrin synthesis and increase the mRNA levels for antioxidant enzymes was evaluated. Our results demonstrate that melatonin administration decreases the percentage of damaged cells, porphyrin synthesis, and aminolevulinate synthase (ALA-S) mRNA levels and increases the mRNA levels for manganese superoxide-dismutase and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase. When observed un...

TL;DR: In this article, a non-empirical Debye-like model for the inclusion of thermal effects in the equation of state (EOS) of solids was developed, which allows the calculation of many thermodynamic properties from the E-V relationship.
Abstract: We have recently developed a non-empirical Debye-like model for the inclusion of thermal effects in the equation of state (EOS) of solids. This model allows the calculation of many thermodynamical properties from the E-V relationship. We report the results of a theoretical investigation that explores the EOS of two ionic solids: MgF2 and Al2O3. The interionic interactions are modelized using either the ab initio Perturbed Ion (aiPI) method or the electron gas formalism along with aiPI electronic wavefunctions, which are allowed to relax with crystal strains. Our EOS results are in overall good agreement with experimental data. Other thermodynamic properties behave in the same way, although Gruneisen constant and related quantities have significant errors. This may be caused by numerical inaccuracies on the high order derivatives needed for its calculation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the diphoton decay mode of the recently discovered Higgs boson and measurement of some of its properties are reported using the entire dataset collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions during the 2011 and 2012 LHC running periods.
Abstract: Observation of the diphoton decay mode of the recently discovered Higgs boson and measurement of some of its properties are reported. The analysis uses the entire dataset collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions during the 2011 and 2012 LHC running periods. The data samples correspond to integrated luminosities of 5.1 inverse femtobarns at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 19.7 inverse femtobarns at 8 TeV. A clear signal is observed in the diphoton channel at a mass close to 125 GeV with a local significance of 5.7 sigma, where a significance of 5.2 sigma is expected for the standard model Higgs boson. The mass is measured to be 124.70 +/- 0.34 GeV = 124.70 +/- 0.31 (stat) +/- 0.15 (syst) GeV, and the best-fit signal strength relative to the standard model prediction is 1.14 +0.26/-0.23 = 1.14 +/- 0.21 (stat) +0.09/-0.05 (syst) +0.13/-0.09 (theo). Additional measurements include the signal strength modifiers associated with different production mechanisms, and hypothesis tests between spin-0 and spin-2 models.

TL;DR: A risk stratification model was developed to provide accurate estimates of recurrence and progression probability after bacillus Calmette-Guerin and found that recurrence calculated risks using Spanish Urological Club for Oncological Treatment tables were lower than those obtained with Sylvester tables.
