A Systematic Search for Candidate Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Using Periodic Mid-infrared Light Curves of Active Galactic Nuclei by Di Luo, Ning Jiang, Xin Liu

“…Analyzing a parent sample of 48,932 objects selected from about half a million AGNs, we have identified 28 candidate periodic AGNs with periods ranging from 1268 to 2437 days (in the observer frame), by fitting their WISE light curves with sinusoidal functions. However, our mock simulation of the parent sample indicates that stochastic variability can actually produce a similar number of periodic sources, underscoring the difficulty in robustly identifying real periodic signals with WISE light curves, given their current sampling. …”

Association of Trace Elements with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women—A Case-Control Study by Tinkara Srnovršnik, Bojana Pinter, Milena Horvat, Janja Snoj Tratnik, Ingrid Falnoga, Darja Mazej, Ivan Verdenik, Irma Virant-Klun

“…<b>Results:</b> In women with PCOS, lower Mo levels in whole blood (<i>p</i> = 0.024) and serum (<i>p</i> = 0.011) and higher serum Cu levels (<i>p</i> = 0.026) were detected when compared to healthy controls. Results of this study show that amendments in Cu and Mo levels might be related to altered kidney and liver function and disrupted hormonal balance in PCOS women. …”
