A One-Dimensional Energy Balance Model Parameterization for the Formation of CO Ice on the Surfaces of Eccentric Extrasolar Planets.

Eccentric planets may spend a significant portion of their orbits at large distances from their host stars, where low temperatures can cause atmospheric CO to condense out onto the surface, similar to the polar ice caps on Mars. The radiative effects on the climates of these planets throughout their orbits would depend on the wavelength-dependent albedo of surface CO ice that may accumulate at or near apoastron and vary according to the spectral energy distribution of the host star. To explore these possible effects, we incorporated a CO ice-albedo parameterization into a one-dimensional energy balance climate model.

A Sorghum / Homolog Functions in PAMP-Triggered Immunity and Cell Death in Response to Infection.

(L.) Moench is the fifth most important cereal crop and expected to gain prominence due to its versatility, low input requirements, and tolerance to hot and dry conditions. In warm and humid environments the productivity of sorghum is severely limited by the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen , the causal agent of anthracnose.

Bayesian Estimation of the Probability of Virologic Failure on Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine Long-Acting in Real Life.

Background Virologic failure (VF) is still a major concern in the use of cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting (LA) for many healthcare professionals (HCP). While many results from clinical trials have been published, there is suspicion that they might underestimate the risk under less-controlled real-life conditions. This study aimed to estimate the probability of VF (primary objective) as well as discontinuation for any reason (secondary objective) among people with HIV (PWH) on CAB and RPV LA every two months (Q2M) in real life using Bayesian methodology.

C-reactive protein as a possible indicator of PTSD prognosis and comorbid anhedonia.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often chronic, which is costly to the individual and society. Easy-to-measure prognostic indicators can help to ensure that those with the greatest symptoms receive treatment. Inflammatory biomarkers may precede and predict depression chronicity and worsening, as well as PTSD.
