- Results from regular monitoring of relativistic compact binaries like PSR 1913+16 are consistent with the dominant (quadrupole) order emission of gravitational waves (GWs). We show that observations associated with the binary black hole (BBH) central engine of blazar OJ 287 demand the inclusion of gravitational radiation reaction effects beyond the quadrupolar order. It turns out that even the effects of certain hereditary contributions to GW emission are required to predict impact flare timings of OJ 287. We develop an approach that incorporates this effect into the BBH model for OJ 287. This allows us to demonstrate an excellent agreement between the observed impact flare timings and those predicted from ten orbital cycles of the BBH central engine model. The deduced rate of orbital period decay is nine orders of magnitude higher than the observed rate in PSR 1913+16, demonstrating again the relativistic nature of OJ 287's central engine. Finally, we argue that precise timing of the predicted 2019 impact flare should allow a test of the celebrated black hole no-hair theorem at the 10% level.

- Introduction The presence of an eroded or thinned cortex of the mandible on panoramic radiographs may be useful in identifying women with osteoporosis. However, little is known as to whether a non-eroded thin cortex predicts osteoporosis. Objective To clarify whether visual assessment of non-eroded thin cortex increases the diagnostic efficacy of identifying women with osteoporosis. Materials and methods Of 60 observers who participated in OSPD (Taguchi et al., Bone, 2008), 41 observers visually assessed non-eroded thin cortex in addition to Klemetti’s index (KI) for 100 panoramic radiographs on the OSPD website via the Internet twice with approximately a two-week interval. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curves (AUROC) in identifying women with osteoporosis by both KI and non-eroded thin cortex was calculated on two occasions; non-eroded thin cortex was included in “class 1 of KI (decreased probability of osteoporosis)” or “class 3 of KI (increased probability of osteoporosis)”. Mean AUROC was compared between these two occasions with paired ttest. Results In the first series of observations, the mean AUROC significantly increased when noneroded thin cortex was considered as a sign of increased probability of osteoporosis (mean +/- SD, 0.68 +/- 0.08 vs. 0.70 +/- 0.07, P=0.011). In the second set of observations, the result was unchanged (0.68 +/- 0.09 vs. 0.71 +/- 0.08, P<0.001). Conclusions and discussion Visual identification of a non-eroded thin cortex on panoramic radiographs may increase the diagnostic efficacy of identifying women with osteoporosis.
