, G. Lagache, A. Lecavelier, and L. Pagani (eds) IS DARK ENERGY ABNORMALLY WEIGHTING? Fuzfa, A. 1 and Alimi, J.-M. 2 Abstract. We present a new interpretation of dark energy in terms of an Abnormally Weighting Energy (AWE). This means that dark ...

In this paper, we apply the statefinder diagnostic to the cosmology with the abnormally weighting energy hypothesis (AWE cosmology), in which dark energy in the observational (ordinary matter) frame results from the violation of the weak equivalence principle by pressureless matter. It is found that there exist ...

We investigate the possibility that dark energy does not couple to gravitation in the same way as ordinary matter, yielding a violation of the weak and strong equivalence principles on cosmological scales. We build a transient mechanism in which gravitation is pushed away from general relativity (GR) by a Born-Infeld (BI) gauge interaction acting as an ...

The dual or multi-energy x-ray technique facilitates to generate tissue-selective images, by exploiting tissue-specific energy dependence of x-ray attenuation. An abnormal breast is considered to be a mixture of adipose, glandular, and abnormal tissues, but three tissues cannot be selectively decomposed because the ...

In the evaluation of asbestos-related pulmonary and pleural abnormalities, conventional chest radiography has been shown to have a low sensitivity for the detection of lung nodules and subtle interstitial disease. Pleural plaques may simulate pulmonary nodules, and interstitial processes can be masked by adjacent pleural abnormalities. ...

Although weight loss ameliorates many of the metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity, there has been reluctance to prescribe weight loss in obese, older individuals because of the fear that it will cause debilitating loss of muscle mass and impair physical function. To gain insight into the mechanisms responsible for the ...

Growth is a physiologically demanding process that requires adequate amounts of energy as well as optimal intake of essential nutrients. Key nutritional factors, including energy and calcium, have been identified as important during growth. Large-breed puppies have a genetic tendency toward fast growth rates that can stress developing skeletal structures ...

We investigate the possibility that dark energy does not couple to gravitation in the same way as ordinary matter, yielding a violation of the weak and strong equivalence principles on cosmological scales. We build a transient mechanism in which gravitation is pushed away from general relativity by a Born-Infeld gauge interaction acting as an abnormally ...

We introduce the Abnormally Weighting Energy (AWE) hypothesis in which dark energy (DE) is presented as a consequence of the violation of the weak equivalence principle (WEP) at cosmological scales by Some dark sector. Indeed, this implies a violation of the strong equivalence principle (SEP) for ordinary matter ...

ObjectiveTo examine the association of gestational weight gain and dietary factors with abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT).MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study among 813 Hispanic prenatal care patients in Massachusetts. Gestational weight gain and oral glucose tolerance test results were abstracted from medical records. Dietary ...

Intentional weight loss with a reduction in adipose tissue is associated with an improvement in medical complications linked to obesity. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two different weight loss diets on obese individuals (BMI 30-40 kg m(-2)) for improvements in anthropometric measurements and blood biomarkers. Study 1 comprised a low ...

This prospective study was designed to identify abnormalities of energy expenditure and fuel utilization which distinguish post-obese women from never-obese controls. 24 moderately obese, postmenopausal, nondiabetic women with a familial predisposition to obesity underwent assessments of body composition, fasting and postprandial ...

The relationship of blood pressure to body weight within populations is well documented: it is also generally accepted that the body mass index, as well as the change in body mass index over time, are predictive of risk for future hypertension. Short-term clinical trials suggest that satisfactory blood-pressure control can be more easily achieved in obese hypertensive subjects ...

Quantitative description of cardiac motion is desirable to assist in detecting myocardial abnormalities from gated myocardial perfusion (GMP) emission computed tomography (ECT) images. While "optical flow" type of cardiac motion estimation (ME) techniques have been developed in the past, there has been no quantitative evaluation of their performance. Moreover, no investigation ...

Technological development has made it possible to estimate accurately and to control abnormal pressures; this information can be used to prevent blowouts. In abnormally pressured formations, the pore pressure of the fluids exceeds the pressure that is exerted by a column of saltwater extending to the surface (0.465 psi/ft). The upper limit of ...

The relationships of maternal prenatal dietary intakes and anthropometric measurements to pregnancy outcomes were investigated in a prospective observational study of urban African American women. The 322 subjects, a subset of the 744 women recruited for the study using purposive sampling, were all nulliparous, free of diabetes mellitus and abnormal hemoglobins, and delivered ...

The gene encoding the transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? coactivator-1? (PGC-1?) was targeted in mice. PGC-1? null (PGC-1?^?/?) mice were viable. However, extensive phenotyping revealed multi-system abnormalities indicative of an abnormal energy metabolic phenotype. The ...

From 15th plenary meeting; Madrid, Spain (10 May 1972). In modelling the action of the high energy component of space radiation in a space ship, the secondary radiation resulting from the interaction of 76 GeV protons with a target was used. The radiation flow consisted of neutrons, mesons of different kinds and charges, protons, and gamma-quanta of wide ...

This report discusses plans for the TMI Abnormal Waste Project, which is part of the EPICOR and Waste Research and Disposition Program and funded by the US Department of Energy. The sequence proposed for disposition of Three Mile Island (TMI) abnormal was...

Cancer cachexia is a syndrome characterized by high prevalence and multifactorial etiology. The pathophysiology of cancer-induced weight loss is mainly due to failure of food intake and to various metabolic abnormalities, including hypermetabolism. Multiple biologic pathways are involved in this process, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, neuroendocrine ...

Chronic sleep disruption in laboratory rats leads to increased energy expenditure, connective tissue abnormalities, and increased weights of major organs relative to body weight. Here we report on expanded findings and the extent to which abnormalities become long-lasting, potentially permanent ...

... In each experiment, T1 overexpressing cells exhibited significantly more overall chromosomal abnormalities than the EL overexpressing cells. ...

For rats with abdominal testes, testicular weight was reduced (P less than 0.05) and histology of testes was abnormal; the number of spermatids per gram ...

Bariatric surgery is the most effective method for promoting dramatic and durable weight loss in morbidly obese subjects. Furthermore, type 2 diabetes is resolved in over 80% of patients. The mechanisms behind the amelioration in metabolic abnormalities are largely unknown but may be due to changes in energy metabolism, gut peptides ...

To study MR patterns of venous sinus occlusive disease and to relate them to the underlying pathophysiology by comparing the appearance and pathophysiologic features of venous sinus occlusive disease with those of arterial ischemic disease. The clinical data and MR examinations of 26 patients with venous sinus occlusive disease were retrospectively reviewed with special attention to mass effect, ...

The abnormally weighting energy hypothesis consists of assuming that the dark sector of cosmology violates the weak equivalence principle (WEP) on cosmological scales, which implies a violation of the strong equivalence principle for ordinary matter. In this paper, dark energy is shown to result from the violation ...

Normal, asplenic, and splenectomized rats with reimplanted spleens were studied for erythrocytic abnormalities 1 year after surgery. The cumulative weight of splenic implants was about 40% of the normal expected weight of the organ. Splenic implantation p...

We evaluated the metabolic impact of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation by administering a synthetic FXR agonist (GW4064) to mice in which obesity was induced by a high fat diet. Administration of GW4064 accentuated body weight gain and glucose intolerance induced by the high fat diet and led to a pronounced worsening of the changes in liver and adipose tissue. ...
