description: A mechanism known as Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) describes a phenomenon by which the values of environmental cues acquired through Pavlovian conditioning can motivate instrumental behavior. PIT may be one basic mechanism of action control that can characterize mental disorders on a dimensional level beyond current classification systems. Therefore, we review human PIT studies investigating subclinical and clinical mental syndromes. The literature prevails an inhomogeneous picture concerning PIT. While enhanced PIT effects seem to be present in non-substance-related disorders, overweight people, and most studies with AUD patients, no altered PIT effects were reported in tobacco use disorder and obesity. Regarding AUD and relapsing alcohol-dependent patients, there is mixed evidence of enhanced or no PIT effects. Additionally, there is evidence for aberrant corticostriatal activation and genetic risk, e.g., in association with high-risk alcohol consumption and relapse after alcohol detoxification. In patients with anorexia nervosa, stronger PIT effects elicited by low caloric stimuli were associated with increased disease severity. In patients with depression, enhanced aversive PIT effects and a loss of action-specificity associated with poorer treatment outcomes were reported. Schizophrenic patients showed disrupted specific but intact general PIT effects. Patients with chronic back pain showed reduced PIT effects. We provide possible reasons to understand heterogeneity in PIT effects within and across mental disorders. Further, we strengthen the importance of reliable experimental tasks and provide test-retest data of a PIT task showing moderate to good reliability. Finally, we point toward stress as a possible underlying factor that may explain stronger PIT effects in mental disorders, as there is some evidence that stress per se interacts with the impact of environmental cues on behavior by selectively increasing cue-triggered wanting. To conclude, we discuss the results of the literature review in the light of Research Domain Criteria, suggesting future studies that comprehensively assess PIT across psychopathological dimensions.

description: Existing research shows that offering customer support in any form is a guaranteed means to boost and sustain business growth. Modern support services are steadily embracing automation to improve effectiveness, support scalability, and reduce costs, with the most promising approaches leveraging artificial assistants in the form of chatbots and interactive support services. In this project, we employ the Design Science Research method to explore and then practically implement an original, reusable, re-configurable chatbot platform for designing and delivering autonomous product and customer support services leveraging voice interactions. Further, focus was placed on leveraging a scan-to-know information access model, and we especially considered users operating on mobile computers such as smartphones, with active connectivity. The implemented chatbot platform was explored and evaluated from the context of two practical cases.

description: All-reflective interferometer configurations have been proposed for the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, with diffractive elements replacing transmissive optics. However, an additional phase noise creates more stringent conditions for alignment stability. A framework for alignment stability with the use of diffractive elements was required using a Gaussian model. We successfully create such a framework involving modal decomposition to replicate small displacements of the beam (or grating) and show that the modal model does not contain the phase changes seen in an otherwise geometric planewave approach. The modal decomposition description is justified by verifying experimentally that the phase of a diffracted Gaussian beam is independent of the beam shape, achieved by comparing the phase change between a zero-order and first-order mode beam. To interpret our findings we employ a rigorous time-domain simulation to demonstrate that the phase changes resulting from a modal decomposition are correct, provided that the coordinate system which measures the phase is moved simultaneously with the effective beam displacement. This indeed corresponds to the phase change observed in the geometric planewave model. The change in the coordinate system does not instinctively occur within the analytical framework, and therefore requires either a manual change in the coordinate system or an addition of the geometric planewave phase factor.

В таких структурах МЭ эффект является результатом взаимодействия электрической и магнитной подсистем через механические деформации. Использование биморфного пьезоэлемента позволяет наблюдать гармонические моды высших порядков, которые подавляются в феррит-пьезоэлектрических двухслойных структурах.

description: We present a numerical study of the effect that fluid and particle inertia have on the motion of suspended spherical particles through a geometric constriction to understand analogous microfluidic settings, such as pinched flow fractionation devices. The particles are driven by a constant force in a quiescent fluid, and the constriction (the pinching gap) corresponds to the space between a plane wall and a second, fixed sphere of the same size (the obstacle). The results show that, due to inertia and/or the presence of a geometric constriction the particles attain smaller separations to the obstacle. We then relate the minimum surface-to-surface separation to the effect that short-range, repulsive non-hydrodynamic interactions (such as solid-solid contact due to surface roughness, electrostatic double layer repulsion, etc.) would have on the particle trajectories. In particular, using a simple hard-core repulsive potential model for such interactions, we infer that the particles would experience larger lateral displacements moving through the pinching gap as inertia increases and/or the aperture of the constriction decreases. Thus, separation of particles based on differences in density is in principle possible, owing to the differences in inertia associated with them. We also discuss the case of significant inertia, in which the presence of a small construction may hinder separation by reducing inertia effects.

description: Purpose: The pathogenic mechanism of the hip-spine syndrome is still poorly elucidated. Some studies have reported a reduction in low back pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the biomechanical mechanisms of THA acting on the lumbar spine are not well understood. The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of THA on (1) the lumbar lordosis and the lumbar flexibility and (2) the lumbar intervertebral disc height. Methods: A total of 197 primary THA patients were prospectively enrolled. Pre- and post-operative biplanar stereoradiography was performed in standing and sitting positions. Spinopelvic parameters (lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt, sacral slope, pelvic incidence), sagittal spinal alignment (sagittal vertical axis, PI-LL mismatch (PI-LL)) and lumbar disc height index (DHI) for each segment (L1/2 to L5/S1) were evaluated. The difference between standing and sitting LL (Delta LL=LLstanding - LLsitting) was determined as lumbar flexibility. Osteochondrosis intervertebralis was graded according to Kellgren and Lawrence (0-4), and patients were assigned to subgroups (mild: 0-2; severe: 3-4). Results: Lumbar flexibility increased significantly after THA (pre: 22.04 +/- 12.26 degrees; post: 25.87 +/- 12.26 degrees; p < 0.001), due to significant alterations in LL in standing (pre: 51.3 +/- 14.3 degrees; post: 52.4 +/- 13.8 degrees; p < 0.001) and sitting (pre: 29.4 +/- 15.4 degrees; post: 26.7 +/- 15.4 degrees; p = 0.01). Delta LL increased significantly in both subgroups stratified by osteochondrosis (pre/post: Delta LLmild: 25.4 (+/- 11.8)/29.4 +/- 12.0 degrees; p < 0.001; Delta LLsevere: 17.5 (+/- 11.4)/21.0 +/- 10.9 degrees; p = 0.003). The DHI increased significantly from pre-operatively to post-operatively in each lumbar segment. PI-LL mismatch decreased significantly after THA (pre: 3.5 degrees; post: 1.4 degrees; p <0.001). Conclusion: The impact of THA on the spinopelvic complex was demonstrated by significantly improved lumbar flexibility and a gain in post-operative disc height. These results illustrate the close interaction between the pelvis and the vertebral column. The investigation provides new insights into the biomechanical patterns influencing the hip-spine syndrome.

description: We numerically investigate the statement that local random quantum circuits acting on n qubits composed of polynomially many nearest neighbour two-qubit gates form an approximate unitary poly(n)-design [F.G.S.L. Brandao et al., arXiv:1208.0692]. Using a group theory formalism, spectral gaps that give a ratio of convergence to a given t-design are evaluated for a different number of qubits n (up to 20) and degrees t (t=2,3,4 and 5), improving previously known results for n=2 in the case of t=2 and 3. Their values lead to a conclusion that the previously used lower bound that bounds spectral gaps values may give very little information about the real situation and in most cases, only tells that a gap is closed. We compare our results to the another lower bounding technique, again showing that its results may not be tight.

description: We have found that surface superstructures made of "monolayer alloys" of Tl and Pb on Si(111), having giant Rashba effect, produce non-reciprocal spin-polarized photocurrent via circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) by obliquely shining circularly polarized near-infrared (IR) light. CPGE is here caused by injection of in-plane spin into spin-split surface-state bands, which is observed only on Tl-Pb alloy layers, but not on single-element Tl nor Pb layers. In the Tl-Pb monolayer alloys, despite their monatomic thickness, the magnitude of CPGE is comparable to or even larger than the cases of many other spin-split thin-film materials. The data analysis has provided the relative permittivity $ε^{\ast}$ of the monolayer alloys to be $\sim$ 1.0, which is because the monolayer exists at a transition region between the vacuum and the substrate. The present result opens the possibility that we can optically manipulate spins of electrons even on monolayer materials.

description: We propose to use double negative (DNG) metamaterial slabs to build effective super-absorbers and perfect nanodetectors for single divergent sources. We demonstrate by numerical simulations that an absorbing nanoparticle properly placed inside a DNG slab back-covered with a perfect electric conductor or perfect magnetic conductor mirror can absorb up to 100% radiation energy of a single dipole source placed outside the slab. Furthermore, we also show that even the simple DNG slab without any absorbing nanoparticle could be used as a perfect absorber for both plane and divergent beams. The proposed systems may focus the radiation in nanoscale and thus have applications in optical nanodevices for a variety of different purposes.

description: Background: Robust clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) with one-way valves in patients with severe lung emphysema with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure is lacking. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare patient characteristics, clinical outcome measures, and incidences of adverse events between patients with severe COPD undergoing ELVR with one-way valves and with either a partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)) of <= 45 mm Hg or with pCO(2) >45 mm Hg. Methods: This was a multicentre prospective study of patients with severe lung disease who were evaluated based on lung function, exercise capacity (6-min walk test [6-MWT]), and quality-of-life tests. Results: Patients with pCO(2) <= 45 mm Hg (n = 157) and pCO(2) >45 mm Hg (n = 40) showed similar baseline characteristics. Patients with pCO(2) <= 45 mm Hg demonstrated a significant increase in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (p < 0.001), a significant decrease in residual volume (RV) (p < 0.001), and significant improvements in the quality of life and 6-MWT at the 3-month follow-up. Patients with pCO(2) >45 mm Hg had significant improvements in RV only (p < 0.05). There was a significant decrease in pCO(2) between baseline and follow-up in hypercapnic patients, relative to the decrease in patients with pCO(2) <= 45 mm Hg (p = 0.008). Patients who were more hypercapnic at baseline showed a greater reduction in pCO(2) after valve placement (r = -0.38, p < 0.001). Pneumothorax was the most common adverse event in both groups. Conclusions: ELVR with one-way valves seems clinically beneficial with a remarkably good safety profile for patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.

description: Die Lebenszyklen von Fahrzeugen und die Innovationszyklen zugrundeliegender Technologien laufen auseinander, sehr zum Nachteil der Fahrzeughersteller. Besonders betroffen sind dabei Bereiche, die geringe Stückzahlen mit hoher Variabilität und langen Garantiezeiträumen kombinieren, zum Beispiel Busse. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Anzahl an Herausforderungen an die Hersteller, die im Rahmen dieser Dissertation herausgearbeitet werden. Anschließend erfolgt eine Betrachtung des Standes der Wissenschaft und Technik, insbesondere mit Hinblick auf die Fragestellung, wie denn dieser die Herausforderungen adressiert. Dabei werden neben technischer auch rechtliche Aspekte beleuchtet, die ihrerseits neue Herausforderungen hinzufügen. Gezeigt wird, dass klassische Fahrzeugarchitekturen mit ihren unflexiblen signalbasieren Elektrik-/Elektronik-Architekturen nicht mehr geeignet sind, diesen Herausforderungen zu begegnen. Flexiblere serviceorientierte Architekturen eignen sich weitaus besser, um neue Trends wie das automatisierte Fahren oder fortschrittlichere, kamerabasierte Fahrerassistenzsysteme zu integrieren. Dabei werden verschiedene Ansätze wie die bereits in der Automobilindustrie verbreitete AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform und das bisher hauptsächlich in der Forschung eingesetzte Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) vorgestellt und miteinander verglichen. Als Konsequenz wird in dieser Dissertation eine (re-)konfigurierbare Fahrzeugarchitektur entwickelt, die Synergien aus einer Verknüpfung verschiedener Domänen wie Nutzfahrzeuge und PKW, aber auch Informationstechnik nutzt. Dies sind zum einen geringere Stückpreise durch Nutzung von Komponenten aus Domänen mit höheren Stückzahlen, zum anderen durch ein Ersetzen von beispielsweise Sensoren durch günstigere beziehungsweise überhaupt noch verfügbare Exemplare während des Lebenszyklus eines Fahrzeuges. Basierend auf einer serviceorientierten Architektur in ROS2 und vorher definierter Anforderungen an eine solche Fahrzeugarchitektur, wird ein Konzept entworfen und anschließend prototypisch umgesetzt, um Use-Cases darzustellen, die besonders von dieser neuartigen Architektur profitieren. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist das Austauschen von Steuergeräten, entweder aus den oben angesprochenen Gründen der Verfügbarkeit oder Kosten von Komponenten oder aber zur Erweiterung der Funktionalität. Zur Senkung von Betriebskosten und Verbesserung der Energiebilanz des Fahrzeuges und der Flotte können außerdem Funktionalitäten beziehungsweise Services in das Backend ausgelagert werden. Die Evaluation dieser prototypisch umgesetzten Architektur und der Use-Cases zeigt, dass der Ansatz grundsätzlich funktioniert und außerdem eine nutzbare Performanz erreicht. Neue Chancen ergeben sich durch eine mögliche Steigerung der Ressourcenauslastung und dynamischer Redundanz, die ausgefallene Komponenten zur Laufzeit des Fahrzeuges ausgleichen kann.

description: Structure formation creates high temperature and density regions in the Universe that allow the conversion of matter into more stable states, with a corresponding emission of relativistic matter and radiation. An example of such a mechanism is the supernova event, that releases relativistic neutrinos corresponding to 99% of the binding energy of remnant neutron star. We take this phenomena as a starting point for an assumption that similar processes could occur in the dark sector, where structure formation would generate a late time conversion of cold dark matter into a relativistic form of dark matter. We performed a phenomenological study about the limits of this conversion, where we assumed a transition profile that is a generalized version of the neutrino production in supernovae events. With this assumption, we obtained an interesting modification for the constraint over the cold dark matter density. We show that when comparing with the standard ΛCDM cosmology, there is no preference for conversion, although the best fit is within 1σ from the standard model best fit. The methodology and the results obtained qualify this conversion hypothesis, from the large scale structure point of view, as a viable and interesting model to be tested in the future with small scale data, and mitigate discrepancies between observations at this scale and the pure cold dark matter model.

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

It was desired in this investigation to determine the effect of the chordwise position of dive recovery flaps on the lift of a laminar flow, low drag, two-dimensional airfoil at high subsonic Mach numbers. Schlieren pictures were taken to relate the formation, extension and strength of shock waves to the measured lift. Tests were made on a four inch chord airfoil of section 65,1-012 at Mach numbers from .50 to .83, a Reynolds number of 1,600,000 at M[subscript o] = 0.7, angles of attack from 1 to 3 degrees, and flap locations at 15%, 30%, and 45% chord; the flap is 10% of the chord.

The investigation was carried out by the authors at the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology during the school year 1945-1946.

It was concluded that dive recovery flaps materially increase the lift of an airfoil, and there is an optimum flap location for maximum lift and one for maximum […].  Moreover, it was concluded that the formation and development of shock waves is directly related to the lift, but that the successive development of the shock wave pattern as a function of Mach number is independent of angle of attack or flap location; the Mach number for initial shock formation varies. Finally, in this tunnel where the thickness of the boundary layer is a large percent of the tunnel width the correction for non-uniform spanwise lift distribution must be investigated more carefully before absolute lift values can be computed.

description: We make a four-algebraic extension of the IIB matrix model. The extension can be made by any Lie 4-algebra. The four-algebraic model has the same supersymmetry as the IIB matrix model, and hence as type IIB superstring theory. The four-algebraic model contains twelve bosonic matrices; two of these will be identified with two extra dimensions that characterize F-theory. We construct a Lie 4-algebra that incorporates $u(N)$ Lie algebra and analyze the model explicitly by choosing it. We have three phases in the model with that specific algebra. In the first phase, it reduces to the original IIB matrix model. In the second phase, it reduces to a simple supersymmetric model. In the third phase, it reduces to a model that describes only the dynamics of the two matrices representing the torus.

description: A two-degree-of-freedom dynamical system has been analyzed to determine an optimum control sequence which will drive the dynamical system from an arbitrary initial position and velocity to one of a prescribed set of terminal position and velocity's in minimum time. The basic complexities are:

(1) that the forcing function can change only at discrete intervals of time, and

(2) that the prescribed terminal states allow a multiplicity of solutions to prevail.

A novel but not unique force program which is dependent upon the initial state of the system has been determined. This program consists essentially of the continuous application of a force of the proper sense and maximum allowable amplitude followed by a time during which no force is applied. This is followed by a time interval in which the forcing function has a maximum amplitude but is of the opposite sign to that used in the first part of the program.

description: We address the question of the classification of gapped ground states in one dimension that cannot be distinguished by a local order parameter. We introduce a family of quantum spin systems on the one-dimensional chain that have a unique gapped ground state in the thermodynamic limit that is a simple product state but which on the left and right half-infinite chains, have additional zero energy edge states. The models, which we call Product Vacua with Boundary States (PVBS), form phases that depend only on two integers corresponding to the number of edge states at each boundary. They can serve as representatives of equivalence classes of such gapped ground states phases and we show how the AKLT model and its $SO(2J+1)$-invariant generalizations fit into this classification.

description: In order to study how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are represented in Wikipedia, I use corpus linguistics tools to extract the adjective noun collocates of the adjectives Jewish, Christian, and Islamic from the 2013 English Wikipedia in order find out their semantic prosody. I then rank the positive and negative noun collocates using the logdice scores in order to find whether there is a statistically significant difference between them. In the case of negative nouns, an ANOVA test found a statistically significant difference. Pair-wise comparisons suggest that Islamic is more negative than either Christian or Jewish while there is no statistically significant difference between Jewish and Christian. On the positive side, there is no statistically significant difference between the adjectives. Intra-adjectival comparisons suggest that there is no statistically significant difference between Islamic’s positive and negative collocates while both Christian and Jewish are more positive than negative.

The aim of our study was the identification of predictive biomarkers in pre-therapeutic endoscopic tumor biopsies from patients with histopathologic response (Becker-1) versus non-response (Becker-2/3) to preoperative chemotherapy. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsies from 36 Caucasian patients (Becker-1 n = 11, Becker-2 n = 7, Becker-3 n = 18) with AEG/AS, taken prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy were selected. For RNA expression analysis, we employed the NanoString nCounter System. To identify genomic alterations like single nucleotide variants (SNV), copy number variation (CNV) and fusion events, we used Illumina TST170 gene panel. For HER2 and FGFR2 protein expression, immunostaining was performed. Furthermore, we analyzed the microsatellite instability (MSI) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection status by EBER in situ hybridization. Results: Heat map and principal component analyses showed no clustering by means of gene expression according to regression grade. Concerning two recently proposed predictive markers, our data showed equal distribution for MSI (Becker-1: 2; Becker-2: 1; Becker-3: 3; out of 29 tested) and EBV infection was rare (1/32). We could not reveal discriminating target genes concerning SNV, but found a higher mutational burden in non-responders versus responders and fusion (in 6/14) and CNV events (in 5/14) exclusively in Becker-3. Conclusions: Although we could not identify discriminating target genes, our data suggest that molecular alterations are in general more prevalent in patients with AEG/AS belonging to the non-responding Becker group 3.

Application of cascade theories to axial flow pumps

description: It is demonstrated with experiments and theory that the performance of an axial flow pump can be described very accurately by application of two-dimensional cascade theories including the thickness effect of the blades on the flows. The blade thickness is found to be an important parameter which is mainly responsible for discrepancies between the experimental results and predictions of "thin airfoil" cascade theories. Three-dimensional effects and the effect of the boundary-displacement thickness on the cascade flow are shown to be negligible for the case of the axial flow pump of high stagger angle and low aspect ratio, which was the case for the present work.

description: Interlayer tunneling in graphite mesa-type structures is studied at a strong in-plane magnetic field $H$ up to 55 T and low temperature $T=1.4$ K. The tunneling spectrum $dI/dV$ vs. $V$ has a pronounced peak at a finite voltage $V_0$. The peak position $V_0$ increases linearly with $H$. To explain the experiment, we develop a theoretical model of graphite in the crossed electric $E$ and magnetic $H$ fields. When the fields satisfy the resonant condition $E=vH$, where $v$ is the velocity of the two-dimensional Dirac electrons in graphene, the wave functions delocalize and give rise to the peak in the tunneling spectrum observed in the experiment.

description: In a 3-manifold M, let K be a knot and R be an annulus which meets K transversely. We define the notion of the pair (R,K) being caught by a surface Q in the exterior of the link given by K and the boundary curves of R. For a caught pair (R,K), we consider the knot K^n gotten by twisting K n times along R and give a lower bound on the bridge number of K^n with respect to Heegaard splittings of M -- as a function of n, the genus of the splitting, and the catching surface Q. As a result, the bridge number of K^n tends to infinity with n. In application, we look at a family of knots K^n found by Teragaito that live in a small Seifert fiber space M and where each K^n admits a Dehn surgery giving the 3-sphere. We show that the bridge number of K^n with respect to any genus 2 Heegaard splitting of M tends to infinity with n. This contrasts with other work of the authors as well as with the conjectured picture for knots in lens spaces that admit Dehn surgeries giving the 3-sphere.

description: The LHC experiments have analyzed the 7 and 8 TeV LHC data in the main Higgs production and decay modes. Current analyses only loosely constrain an anomalous top-Higgs coupling in a direct way. In order to strongly constrain this coupling, the Higgs-top associated production is reanalyzed. Thanks to the strong destructive interference in the t-channel for standard model couplings, this process can be very sensitive to both the magnitude and the sign of a non-standard top-Higgs coupling. We project the sensitivity to anomalous couplings to the integrated luminosity of 50 fb^{-1}, corresponding to the data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in 7 and 8 TeV collisions, as of 2012. We show that the combination of di-photon and multi-lepton signatures, originating from different combinations of the top and Higgs decay modes, can be a potential probe to constrain a large portion of the negative top-Higgs coupling space presently allowed by the ATLAS and CMS global fits.

description: NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the possibility of using a semi-empirical technique, the Influence Method, to shorten the CWT supersonic flexible plate nozzle. The experiments were conducted in the CWT 8 1/2 x 11 feet flexible plate nozzle at [...] = 1.600 and [...] = 1.700.

The Influence Method and its application to shortening a flexible plate nozzle are presented and discussed. Included are comparisons of the theoretical and experimental jack influence parameters. Theoretical length estimates are presented which determine to what extent the CWT nozzle could be shortened.

Results indicate that the Influence Method can be used to shorten the CWT supersonic flexible plate nozzle. The usable testing length was increased by approximately 35% at both the Mach numbers investigated. However, as the nozzle becomes shorter the undesirable Mach number variation, in the region occupied by models, increases from [plus or minus] 0.005 to [plus or minus] 0.015.

description: Purpose: Optimization of local therapies in synovial sarcoma (SS) considered unresectable at diagnosis is needed. We evaluated the effects of neoadjuvant versus adjuvant radiation versus surgery only on long-term outcomes. Methods: Patients with macroscopic SS tumors before chemotherapy (IRS-group-III) in the trials CWS-81, CWS-86, CWS-91, CWS-96, CWS-2002-P and SoTiSaR-registry were analyzed. Local therapies were scheduled after 3 neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycles. Results: Median age of 145 patients was 14.5 years. 106 survivors had median follow-up of 7.0 years. Tumor site was 96 extremities, 19 head-neck, 16 shoulder/hip, 14 trunk. Tumors were < 3 cm in 16, 3-5 cm in 28, 5-10 cm in 55, > 10 cm in 34 patients. In a secondary resection during chemotherapy, R0-status was accomplished in 82, R1 in 30, R2 in 21 (12 missing). Radiotherapy was administered to 115 (R0 61, R1 29, R2 20, missing 5), thereof 57 before and 52 after tumor resection. 23 were treated with surgery only. For all patients, 5 year event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) was 68.9% +/- 7.6 (95%CI) and 79.1% +/- 6.9. To establish independent significance, tumor site, size, surgical results and sequencing of local therapies were analyzed in a Cox regression analysis. Variables associated with EFS and OS are site, size and sequencing of local therapies. Variables associated with local recurrence are site, surgical results and sequencing of local therapies. The only variable associated with suffering metastatic recurrence is tumor size. Conclusion: Differences in sequencing of local therapy procedures are independently associated with outcomes. Best local control is achieved when tumors are irradiated pre-operatively and undergo R0 or R1 resection thereafter.
