description: Background: Since 2010, combination therapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin is the standard treatment for patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC) based on the ABC-02 trial. However, treatment after first-line progression is less clearly defined. We therefore retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of a 3-drug chemotherapy regimen in patients with advanced BTC. Methods: Patients with advanced BTC treated with palliative chemotherapy between April 2000 and October 2005 at Regensburg University Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. We analyzed the efficacy and safety of an institutional standard 3-drug regimen consisting of irinotecan, gemcitabine and 5-FU (IGF). One cycle, lasting 21 days, included applications on days 1 and 8 consisting of 75 mg/m(2) irinotecan i.v. for 90 min, 1,000 mg/m(2) gemcitabine i.v. for 30 min and 2,000 mg/m 2 fluorouracil (5-FU) for 24 h. Results: A total of 12 histologically confirmed cases with gallbladder cancer and intrahepatic BTC were reviewed. Fifty percent of the patients (6/12) had been pretreated with other chemotherapies. Median progression-free survival was 9.4 months (1.5-21.5) and median overall survival was 17.2 months (2.5-24.3). Only neutropenia (8%) was observed as an NCI-CTC grade 3 toxicity. Anemia and leucopenia grades 1 and 2 were the most common side effects. Conclusions: The combination of IGF shows a promising survival benefit with manageable toxicity in patients with advanced BTC. Therefore, this regimen seems to be a feasible second-line treatment option for patients with rapid progression under first-line therapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin and with a good performance status.

description: We investigate the static $\overline{Q}Q$-potential for $N_f = 2+1$ QCD at the physical point in the presence of a constant and uniform external magnetic field. The potential is found to be anisotropic and steeper in the directions transverse to the magnetic field than in the longitudinal one. In particular, when compared to the standard case with zero background field, the string tension increases (decreases) in the transverse (longitudinal) direction, while the absolute value of the Coulomb coupling and the Sommer parameter show an opposite behavior.

description: The very forward region is one of the most challenging regions to instrument at a future $e^+e^-$ collider. At CEPC, machine-detector interface includes, among others, a calorimeter dedicated for precision measurement of the integrated luminosity at a per mill level or better. Here we review a feasibility of such precision, from the point of view systematic effects arising from luminometer mechanical precision and positioning, beam-related requirements and physics background from two-photon processes. The impact of the beam energy spread and its uncertainty on the integrated luminosity precision is also discussed, as well as the achievable beam energy spread precision with the post-CDR CEPC beams.

description: Networks of rigid bars connected by joints, termed linkages, provide a minimal framework to design robotic arms and mechanical metamaterials built out of folding components. Here, we investigate a chain-like linkage that, according to linear elasticity, behaves like a topological mechanical insulator whose zero-energy modes are localized at the edge. Simple experiments we performed using prototypes of the chain vividly illustrate how the soft motion, initially localized at the edge, can in fact propagate unobstructed all the way to the opposite end. We demonstrate using real prototypes, simulations and analytical models that the chain is a mechanical conductor, whose carriers are nonlinear solitary waves, not captured within linear elasticity. Indeed, the linkage prototype can be regarded as the simplest example of a topological metamaterial whose protected mechanical excitations are solitons, moving domain walls between distinct topological mechanical phases. More practically, we have built a topologically protected mechanism that can perform basic tasks such as transporting a mechanical state from one location to another. Our work paves the way towards adopting the principle of topological robustness in the design of robots assembled from activated linkages as well as in the fabrication of complex molecular nanostructures.

description: Fishing New York's waters is a popular sport. Anglers catch a variety of fish and many eat the fish they catch. However, some species in certain waters contain chemicals that may be harmful to health, even when the fish look healthy and the water looks clean. What should you consider when deciding whether or not to eat the fish you catch? The NY State Department of Health issues health advisories for people who eat fish from waters where chemical contaminants may be a problem. You can make an informed decision about the potential risks from eating contaminated sport fish by using this publication, which is a quick reference and addresses questions such as: Why Is This Advice Important to Me? How Much Fish Can I Eat? Which Fish are Safer (Less Contaminated) to Eat? Can I Clean and Cook My Fish to Reduce Contaminants? While this document refers to waters in New York State, waters near or adjacent to New Jersey include Arthur Kill, Kill Van Kull, Hudson River, Harlem River, Newark Bay, and New York Harbor.

Perhaps most naturally in the combinatorics of set partitions, but also when studying compositions of diffeomorphisms on vector spaces and manifolds, and in the study of cumulants and moments in probability theory. We construct commutative and noncommutative Bell polynomials and explain how they give rise to Faà di Bruno Hopf algebras. We use the language of incidence Hopf algebras, and along the way provide a new description of antipodes in noncommutative incidence Hopf algebras, involving quasideterminants. We also discuss Möbius inversion in certain Hopf algebras built from Bell polynomials.

Year: 2004

description: Storm drain labeling makes communities more aware of nonpoint source pollution and polluted runoff. Nonpoint Source Pollution, or people pollution, is a contamination of ground water, waterways, and ocean that results from everyday activities such as fertilizing the lawn, walking pets, changing motor oil, and littering. With each rainfall, pollutants generated by these activities are washed into storm drains that flow into our waterways and ocean. Storm drain labeling serves as an educational tool to remind people about the connection between strom drains and local waterbodies. Storm drain inlet labeling is also a requirement of New Jersey's new municipal stormwater permitting program. This document discusses the importance of storm drain labeling, instructs users how to label drains, and gives resources for nonpoint source pollution information and cleanup.

description: We consider the question whether a static potential on an asymptotically flat 3-manifold can have nonempty zero set which extends to the infinity. We prove that this does not occur if the metric is asymptotically Schwarzschild with nonzero mass. If the asymptotic assumption is relaxed to the usual assumption under which the total mass is defined, we prove that the static potential is unique up to scaling unless the manifold is flat. We also provide some discussion concerning the rigidity of complete asymptotically flat 3-manifolds without boundary that admit a static potential.

description: On-shell amplitude methods have proven to be extremely efficient for calculating anomalous dimensions. We further elaborate on these methods to show that, by the use of an angular momentum decomposition, the one-loop anomalous dimensions can be reduced to essentially a sum of products of partial waves. We apply this to the SM EFT, and show how certain classes of anomalous dimensions have their origin in the same partial-wave coefficients. We also use our result to obtain a generic formula for the one-loop anomalous dimensions of nonlinear sigma models at any order in the energy expansion, and apply our method to gravity, where it proves to be very advantageous even in the presence of IR divergencies.

description: The study set out to explore whether teaching methods can improve the wellbeing of students with SpLDs. This study addresses a gap in the literature, identifying wellbeing differences between different types of educational environment and SEN provisions. It explores whether there are benefits from inclusive education to student wellbeing, considering constructs of wellbeing relevant to the impact of SpLDs, synthesising pedagogic, psychotherapeutic and developmental perspectives. 74 student participants were recruited through the SEN departments of 4 UK schools - each with differing approaches to SEN support. Student participants completed two psychometric wellbeing questionnaires. They also engaged in photographic exercise, capturing scenes of importance to them, which contributed to semi-structured interviews. 8 teacher participants engaged in semi-structured interviews. These teacher participants also had their classroom practice observed. Parallel interpretative phenomenological analyses (IPA) were used to interpret the findings. Several themes from both student and teacher IPA analyses revealed a differences between 2 pairs of schools, which was supported by the same difference in psychometric scores and classroom observations. Schools environments were found to have common features of inclusion either absent or present which were recognised by both students and teachers within their own social world perspectives, which were predictive of wellbeing. This study identified that school aged students with SpLDs could articulate the relationship between inclusive teaching and their wellbeing.
Maximum Contaminant Level Recommendation for Perchlorate

Year: 2005

description: The New Jersey Drinking Water Quality Institute (NJDWQI) was requested by the DEP to investigate the need to establish a regulatory limit for perchlorate in drinking water in NJ. Perchlorate is an inorganic ion that has been detected in drinking water supplies. It is used as an oxidizer in explosives, is found in fertilizer from Chile, and may also occur naturally. Its adverse effects arise from inhibition of iodine uptake into the thyroid gland, which may lead to disturbance of thyroid function. Pregnant women and infants are especially sensitive for perchlorate's effects. To evaluate the occurrence of perchlorate in NJ, a perchlorate sampling was conducted between 2003 and early 2005. Public water systems were chosen based on their potential vulnerability to perchlorate contamination. This report discusses the work of the Health Effects Subcommittee, the Testing Subcommittee, and the Treatment Subcommittee regarding the perchlorate sampling.
Search for microscopic black holes and string balls in final states with leptons and jets with the ATLAS detector at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: A search for an excess of events with multiple high transverse momentum objects including charged leptons and jets is presented, using 20.3 fb^-1 of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. No excess of events beyond Standard Model expectations is observed. Using extra-dimensional models for black hole and string ball production and decay, exclusion contours are determined as a function of the mass threshold for production and the fundamental gravity scale for two, four and six extra dimensions. For six extra dimensions, mass thresholds of 4.8-6.2 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, depending on the fundamental gravity scale and model assumptions. Upper limits on the fiducial cross-sections for non-Standard Model production of these final states are set.

description: New Jersey's system of State Parks and Forests (including the associated recreation and natural areas) is over 300,000 acres in size and constitutes a vital natural resource with significant economic value that can be demonstrated and used in comparisons with alternative land-use values. This study estimated a number of key values using existing data and previous analyses. The estimated value of the benefits of maintaining State Parks and Forests is quite substantial (worth at least $1.2 billion annually and at least $17.2 billion in present value terms). These natural assets form the base for a significant portion of the State's economy, and on economic grounds alone they therefore warrant the capital investments and operating expenditures needed to maintain them in a healthy, productive condition.

description: Independent of specific local features, global spatio-temporal structures in diverse phenomena around bifurcation points are described by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) derived using the reductive perturbation method, which includes prediction of spatio-temporal chaos. The generality in the CGLE scheme includes oscillatory instability in slip behavior between stable and unstable regimes. Such slip transitions accompanying spatio-temporal chaos is expected for frictional interfaces of a thin elastic layer made of soft solids, such as rubber or gel, where especially chaotic behavior may be easily discovered due to their compliance. Slow earthquakes observed in the aseismic-to-seismogenic transition zone along a subducting plate are also potential candidates. This article focuses on the common properties of slip oscillatory instability from the viewpoint of a CGLE approach by introducing a drastically simplified model of an elastic body with a thin layer, whose local expression in space and time allows us to employ conventional reduction methods. Special attention is paid to incorporate a rate-and-state friction law supported by microscopic mechanisms beyond the Coulomb friction law. We discuss similarities and discrepancies in the oscillatory instability observed or predicted in soft matter or a slow earthquake.

description: We consider the spectrum of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a periodic lattice of $L$ sites. The first eigenstates have an eigenvalue with real part scaling as $L^{-3/2}$ for large $L$ with finite density of particles. Bethe ansatz shows that these eigenstates are characterized by four finite sets of positive half-integers, or equivalently by two integer partitions. Each corresponding eigenvalue is found to be equal to the value at its saddle point of a function indexed by the four sets. Our derivation of the large $L$ asymptotics relies on a version of the Euler-Maclaurin formula with square root singularities at both ends of the summation range.

description: We investigate the in-medium properties of strange vector mesons ($K^*$ and $\bar K^*$) in dense and hot nuclear matter based on chirally motivated models of the meson selfenergies. We parameterise medium effects as density or temperature dependent effective masses and widths, obtain the vector meson spectral functions within a Breit-Wigner prescription (as often used in transport simulations) and study whether such an approach can retain the essential features of full microscopic calculations. For $μ_B\ne 0$ the medium corrections arise from $\bar K^* (K^*) N$ scattering and the $\bar K^* (K^*) \to \bar K (K) π$ decay mode (accounting for in-medium $\bar K (K)$ dynamics). We calculate the scattering contribution to the $K^*$ selfenergy based on the hidden local symmetry formalism for vector meson nucleon interactions, whereas for the $\bar K^*$ selfenergy we implement recent results from a selfconsistent coupled-channel determination within the same approach. For $μ_B\simeq 0$ and finite temperature we rely on a phenomenological approach for the kaon selfenergy in a hot pionic medium consistent with chiral symmetry, and evaluate the $\bar K^* (K^*) \to \bar K (K) π$ decay width. The emergence of a mass shift at finite temperature is studied with a dispersion relation over the imaginary part of the vector meson selfenergy.

To inform the study design, a systematic review was conducted. Results identified a few, outdated studies demonstrating that witnessing resuscitation may be physically and psychologically stressful. Stakeholder consultation with former hospitalised patients and experts in resuscitation practice further informed the development of the descriptive, phenomenological study design used. The lived experiences of 16 witnessing patients and of 20 healthcare professionals involved in resuscitation were explored through in-depth interviews and focus groups conducted in one hospital site in the United Kingdom. Six themes were developed across the patient and healthcare professional groups, derived from phenomenological analysis. In essence, patients and healthcare professionals understand that emergencies are part of hospital life. Witnessing resuscitation is a negative experience resulting in perceptions of emotional impact, especially for patients where death, at times, was challenging. Healthcare professionals recognised the perceived impact on witnessing patients whilst attending to their own, and the team’s emotional needs. Patients understood the priorities of care but wanted information and reassurance. This was not always offered by staff due to patient confidentiality and communication challenges. Staff shielded patients from events using curtains, but this was not effective, leaving patients exposed to grieving families and death. After witnessing resuscitation, patients felt safe and had confidence in the staff. This study has generated new evidence on an important aspect of resuscitation in hospital and this can inform interventions to improve the experience of witnessing patients and healthcare professionals’ support practices. The experience of witnessing patients during resuscitation must be acknowledged by healthcare professionals, and sufficient information and emotional support provided.

description: This document contains specific information related to one of the six Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) targeted wildlife habitat categories in New Jersey: WHIP Invasive Species Control. WHIP funds are available to create, restore, or enhance wildlife habitat that has been degraded by invasive exotic vegetative species. Invasive species are plants that reproduce rapidly, spread over large areas of the landscape and have few, if any, natural controls, such as herbivores and diseases, to keep them in check. These species often out-compete native vegetation. This threatens local fauna, which has evolved to depend on the local native vegetation for food and shelter. The document is divided into the following sections: Cost-share information, Requirements, Length of the project, How to apply, and Examples of Invasive Species in NJ.

description: A computationally efficient workflow for obtaining the low-energy symmetric tight-binding Hamiltonians for twisted multilayer systems is presented in this work. We apply this scheme to twisted bilayer graphene at the first magic angle. As initial step, the full-energy tight-binding Hamiltonian is generated by the Slater-Koster model with parameters fitted to ab-initio data at larger angles. Then, the low-energy symmetric four-band and twelve-band Hamiltonians are constructed using the maximum-localization procedure subjected to crystal and time-reversal-symmetry constraints. Finally, we compute extended Hubbard parameters for both models within the constrained random phase approximation (cRPA) for screening, which again respect the symmetries. The relevant data and results of this work are freely available via an online repository. Our workflow, exemplified in this work on twisted bilayer graphene, is straightforwardly transferable to other twisted multi-layer materials.

description: Far off-shell Higgs production in $H \rightarrow WW,ZZ$, is a particularly powerful probe of Higgs properties, allowing one to disentangle Higgs width and coupling information unavailable in on-shell rate measurements. These measurements require an understanding of the cross section in the far off-shell region in the presence of realistic experimental cuts. We analytically study the effect of a $p_T$ jet veto on far off-shell cross sections, including signal-background interference, by utilizing hard functions in the soft collinear effective theory that are differential in the decay products of the $W/Z$. Summing large logarithms of $\sqrt{\hat s}/p_T^{veto}$, we find that the jet veto induces a strong dependence on the partonic centre of mass energy, $\sqrt{\hat s}$, and modifies distributions in $\sqrt{\hat s}$ or $M_T$. The example of $gg\rightarrow H \rightarrow WW$ is used to demonstrate these effects at next to leading log order. We also discuss the importance of jet vetoes and jet binning for the recent program to extract Higgs couplings and widths from far off-shell cross sections.

description: We assess the performance of different protocols for simulating excited-state X-ray absorption spectra. We consider three different protocols based on equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles, two of them combined with the maximum overlap method. The three protocols differ in the choice of a reference configuration used to compute target states. Maximum-overlap-method time-dependent density functional theory is also considered. The performance of the different approaches is illustrated using uracil, thymine, and acetylacetone as benchmark systems. The results provide guidance for selecting an electronic structure method for modeling time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

description: We compare lattice QCD results for appropriate combinations of net strangeness fluctuations and their correlations with net baryon number fluctuations with predictions from two hadron resonance gas (HRG) models having different strange hadron content. The conventionally used HRG model based on experimentally established strange hadrons fails to describe the lattice QCD results in the hadronic phase close to the QCD crossover. Supplementing the conventional HRG with additional, experimentally uncharted strange hadrons predicted by quark model calculations and observed in lattice QCD spectrum calculations leads to good descriptions of strange hadron thermodynamics below the QCD crossover. We show that the thermodynamic presence of these additional states gets imprinted in the yields of the ground-state strange hadrons leading to a systematic 5--8 MeV decrease of the chemical freeze-out temperatures of ground-state strange baryons.

description: In this theoretical study, we determine the maximum amount of work extractable in finite time by a demon performing continuous measurements on a quadratic Hamiltonian system subjected to thermal fluctuations, in terms of the information extracted from the system. This is in contrast to many recent studies that focus on demons' maximizing the extracted work over received information, and operate close to equilibrium. The maximum work demon is found to apply a high-gain continuous feedback using a Kalman-Bucy estimate of the system state. A simple and concrete electrical implementation of the feedback protocol is proposed, which allows for analytic expressions of the flows of energy and entropy inside the demon. This let us show that any implementation of the demon must necessarily include an external power source, which we prove both from classical thermodynamics arguments and from a version of Landauer's memory erasure argument extended to non-equilibrium linear systems.
