D-002, a mixture of six higher aliphatic alcohols purified from beeswax, has been shown to produce anti-inflammatory effects in experimental models, devoid of gastrotoxic or hepatotoxic effects. Some studies have demonstrated that D-002 exerts analgesic effects, but just related to its anti-inflammatory action. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of D-002, naproxen, aspirin a...

Abstract Light curves feature many kinds of variability, including instrumental systematics, intrinsic stellar variability such as pulsations, and flux changes caused by transiting exoplanets or eclipsing binary stars. Detrending is a key pre-planet-search data processing step that aims to remove not due transits. This release note describes improvements the Quick-Look Pipeline's detrending alg...

To evaluate the complex time course of changes in respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during the menstrual cycle, daily beat-to-beat morning recordings of heart rate (HR) were carried out in 26 healthy female subjects (age 20-29 years) during two menstrual cycles. For determination of fast, vagally mediated variations of HR we used a robust time-domain measure of RSA (logRSA). We found pronounce...
