TL;DR: The assembly and analysis of the genome sequence of a female domestic Duroc pig and a comparison with the genomes of wild and domestic pigs from Europe and Asia reveal a deep phylogenetic split between European and Asian wild boars ∼1 million years ago.
Abstract: For 10,000 years pigs and humans have shared a close and complex relationship. From domestication to modern breeding practices, humans have shaped the genomes of domestic pigs. Here we present the assembly and analysis of the genome sequence of a female domestic Duroc pig (Sus scrofa) and a comparison with the genomes of wild and domestic pigs from Europe and Asia. Wild pigs emerged in South East Asia and subsequently spread across Eurasia. Our results reveal a deep phylogenetic split between European and Asian wild boars ∼1 million years ago, and a selective sweep analysis indicates selection on genes involved in RNA processing and regulation. Genes associated with immune response and olfaction exhibit fast evolution. Pigs have the largest repertoire of functional olfactory receptor genes, reflecting the importance of smell in this scavenging animal. The pig genome sequence provides an important resource for further improvements of this important livestock species, and our identification of many putative disease-causing variants extends the potential of the pig as a biomedical model.

TL;DR: Thoracic radiotherapy moderately improves survival in patients with limited small-cell lung cancer who are treated with combination chemotherapy, and identification of the optimal combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy will require further trials.
Abstract: Background. In spite of 16 randomized trials conducted during the past 15 years, the effect of thoracic radiotherapy on the survival of patients with limited small-cell lung cancer remains controversial. The majority of these trials did not have enough statistical power to detect a difference in survival of 5 to 10 percent at five years. This meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the hypothesis that thoracic radiotherapy contributes to a moderate increase in overall survival in limited small-cell lung cancer. Methods. We collected individual data on all patients enrolled before December 1988 in randomized trials comparing chemotherapy alone with chemotherapy combined with thoracic radiotherapy. Trials that included only patients with extensive disease were excluded. Results. The meta-analysis included 13 trials and 2140 patients with limited disease. A total of 433 patients with extensive disease were excluded. Overall, 1862 of 2103 patients who could be evaluated died; the median follow-up peri...

TL;DR: In this article, potential pathways linking greenspace to health are presented in three domains, which emphasize three general functions of greenspace: reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air pollution, noise and heat), restoring capacities (i.e., attention restoration and physiological stress recovery), and encouraging physical activity and facilitating social cohesion). Interrelations between among the three domains are also noted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the impact of market-specific experiential knowledge on the cost of the internationalization process and the choice of a mode for entering foreign markets.
Abstract: In furthering our understanding of the dynamics of the internationalization of firms, process models have played a significant role [Bilkey and Tesar 1977; Cavusgil 1980, 1984; Czinkota 1982; Johanson and Vahlne 1977, 1990; Luostarinen 1980; Reid 1983]. In these models, market-specific experiential knowledge is central in explaining the firm’s internationalization process. A vast amount of research, using the concept of experiential knowledge, on the internationalization process and the choice of mode for entering foreign markets has been accumulated [Barkema, Bell and Pennings 1996; Beamish 1990; Calof and Beamish 1995; Erramilli 1990, 1991; Erramilli and Rao 1990, 1993; Hirsch 1993; Kogut and Singh 1988; O’Grady and Lane 1996; Reid 1984; Root 1987; Sharma and Johanson 1987; Wiedersheim-Paul, Olson and Welch 1978]. Surprisingly, none of the above-mentioned work has explicitly dealt with the cost of the internationalization process. This is surprising since the management of internationalization unavoidably gives rise to the question of cost [Carlson 1974]. An internationalization process entails risk and the investment of resources. Here the issue of the effects of the critical experiential knowledge on the cost of the internationalization process becomes important. Cost aspects have a bearing on the profit generated by firms [Bilkey 1982], on a firm’s inclination to enter foreign markets [Dichtl, Koeglmayr and Mueller 1990], and on the selection or changing of foreign market entry mode [Calof and Beamish 1995].

TL;DR: Results from an analysis with a third year of data from the complete IceCube detector are consistent with the previously reported astrophysical flux in the 100 TeV-PeV range at the level of 10(-8) GeV cm-2 s-1 sr-1 per flavor and reject a purely atmospheric explanation for the combined three-year data at 5.7σ.
Abstract: A search for high-energy neutrinos interacting within the IceCube detector between 2010 and 2012 provided the first evidence for a high-energy neutrino flux of extraterrestrial origin. Results from an analysis using the same methods with a third year (2012-2013) of data from the complete IceCube detector are consistent with the previously reported astrophysical flux in the 100 TeV-PeV range at the level of 10(-8) GeV cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) per flavor and reject a purely atmospheric explanation for the combined three-year data at 5.7 sigma. The data are consistent with expectations for equal fluxes of all three neutrino flavors and with isotropic arrival directions, suggesting either numerous or spatially extended sources. The three-year data set, with a live time of 988 days, contains a total of 37 neutrino candidate events with deposited energies ranging from 30 to 2000 TeV. The 2000-TeV event is the highest-energy neutrino interaction ever observed.
