Omega-3 (ω-3) and social skills interventions for reactive aggression and childhood externalizing behavior problems : a randomized, stratified, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fa... by Raine, Adrian, Ang, Rebecca P., Choy, Olivia, Hibbeln, Joseph R., Ho, Ringo Moon-Ho, Lim, Choon Guan, Lim-Ashworth, Nikki S. J., Ling, Shichun, Liu, Jean C. J., Ooi, Yoon Phaik, Tan, Yi Ren, Fung, Daniel S. S.

“…Background: While studies suggest that nutritional supplementation may reduce aggressive behavior in children, few have examined their effects on specific forms of aggression. This study tests the primary hypothesis that omega-3 (ω-3), both alone and in conjunction with social skills training, will have particular post-treatment efficacy for reducing childhood reactive aggression relative to baseline. …”

A probabilistic risk modelling chain for analysis of regional flood events by Oliver, Julien, Qin, Xiaosheng, Madsen, Henrik, Rautela, Piyoosh, Joshi, Girish Chandra, Jorgensen, Gregers

“…The results showed that preserving the spatial coherency of regional events lead to a spreading of the T-year local event distributions on both sides of a uniform regional T-year return period. The specificity of the exposure and the correlations between local events translated into minimal (4%) differences in losses at high return periods (> 50 year) but larger difference (20%) at low return periods (5 to 10-year). …”
