X-ray pulsed light curves of highly compact neutron stars as probes of scalar–tensor theories of gravity by Tulio Ottoni, Jaziel G. Coelho, Rafael C. R. de Lima, Jonas P. Pereira, Jorge A. Rueda

“…Abstract The strong gravitational potential of neutron stars (NSs) makes them ideal astrophysical objects for testing extreme gravity phenomena. We explore the potential of NS X-ray pulsed light curve observations to probe deviations from general relativity (GR) within the scalar–tensor theory (STT) of gravity framework. …”

Biomechanical Analysis of Truncated Cone Implants for Maxillary Sinus Lift: An In Vitro Study on Polyurethane Laminas by Luca Comuzzi, Tea Romasco, Carlos Fernando Mourão, Giulia Marchioli, Adriano Piattelli, Natalia Di Pietro

“…This study simulated the clinical condition of achieving primary stability even with extreme maxillary bone thickness. The findings indicate that while both implant designs can be utilized in MSL procedures, the SLC is particularly effective in scenarios with limited bone thickness and density, potentially allowing for simultaneous MSL, implant placement, and healing screw application.…”

BST1047+1156: A (Failing) Ultradiffuse Tidal Dwarf in the Leo I Group by J. Christopher Mihos, Patrick R. Durrell, Aaron E. Watkins, Stacy S. McGaugh, John Feldmeier

“…The combination of a young, moderately metal-poor post starburst population and no old stars motivates a scenario in which BST1047 was recently formed during a weak burst of star formation in gas that was tidally stripped from the outskirts of the neighboring massive spiral M96. BST1047's extremely diffuse nature, lack of ongoing star formation, and disturbed H i morphology all argue that it is a transitory object, a “failing tidal dwarf” in the process of being disrupted by interactions within the Leo I group. …”
