Purpose The phase III Iressa Survival Evaluation in Lung Cancer (ISEL) trial compared gefitinib
with placebo in 1,692 patients with refractory advanced non–small-cell lung cancer. We …

… This work builds upon an extended abstract of two of the authors (Hirsch and Vavasis, 1987)
presented at the IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science. The results below …

Anammox bacteria belonging to the phylum Planctomycetes are responsible for N removal
through NH 4 + oxidation coupled with NO 2 − reduction. Microbial diversity and ecology of …

In this paper we propose a general mathematical approach to existence problems in economics
based on the geometry of vector bundles and the methods of intersection theory. The …

The topological underpinnings are presented for a new algorithm which answers the
question:“Is a given knot the unknot?” The algorithm uses the braid foliation technology of …

Introduction: Adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic type of lung cancer. To
address advances in oncology, molecular biology, pathology, radiology, and surgery of lung …

We have measured the emission lifetime of bacteriorhodopsin at physiological temperatures
to be 15 +/- 3 ps using a technique which employs a mode-locked dye laser, a sum …

We discuss electronic properties of plasma-deposited a-Si:H alloys as functions of oxygen
and nitrogen impurities. Over a wide range of processing conditions, features displayed by the …

Vasopressin mRNA content was studied by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase
chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the hypothalami of rats chronically treated with ethanol (EtOH). …

Brain neurons that express the pro-opiomelanocortin gene secrete multiple forms of β-endorphin
(βE) which subserve diverse bioregulatory processes. βE-1-31, for example, is a potent …
