PURPOSE: To determine whether the addition of cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CT) to pelvic radiation therapy (RT) will improve survival early-stage, high-risk patients with cervical carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients clinical stage IA 2 , IB, and IIA carcinoma cervix, initially treated radical hysterectomy lymphadenectomy, who had positive lymph nodes and/or margins microscopic involvement parametrium were eligible for this study. randomized receive RT or + CT. in each group received...

Abstract The homogeneous vapor phase cracking of newly formed wood pyrolysis tar was studied at low molar concentrations as a function temperature (773–1,073 K), residence times 0.9–2.2 s. Tar conversions ranged from about 5 to 88%. tars were generated by heating rate (0.2 K/s) ∼2 cm deep beds sweet gum hardwood, and then rapidly conveyed an adjacent reactor for controlled thermal treatment. Quantitative yields kinetics obtained resulting products formation. major conversion product carbon...

The decay energy spectrum for neutron unbound states in 24O (Z=8, N=16) has been observed the first time. resonance of lowest lying state, interpreted as 2+ level, at a above 600 keV. resulting excitation level 4.7 MeV, supplies strong evidence that is doubly magic nucleus. data also consistent with presence second excited state around 5.33 MeV which can be 1+ level.

The neutron unbound ground state of (25)O (Z=8, N=17) was observed for the first time in a proton knockout reaction from (26)F beam. A single resonance found invariant mass spectrum corresponding to decay energy 770_+20(-10) keV with total width 172(30) keV. N=16 shell gap established be 4.86(13) MeV by difference between nu1s(1/2) and nu0d(3/2) orbitals. separation energies agree calculations universal sd model interaction. This interaction incorrectly predicts an (26)O that is bound...
We report on the first observation of dineutron emission in decay 16Be. A single-proton knockout reaction from a 53 MeV/u 17B beam was used to populate ground state 16Be is bound with respect one neutron and unbound two-neutron emission. The character evidenced by small angle between two neutrons. separation energy measured be 1.35(10) MeV, good agreement shell model calculations, using standard interactions for this mass region.

Spectroscopic factors have been extracted for proton-rich $^{34}\mathrm{Ar}$ and neutron-rich $^{46}\mathrm{Ar}$ using the ($p$, $d$) neutron transfer reaction. The experimental results show little reduction of ground state spectroscopic factor nucleus compared to that $^{46}\mathrm{Ar}$. suggest correlations, which generally reduce such factors, do not depend strongly on neutron-proton asymmetry in this isotopic region as was reported knockout reactions. present are consistent with from...

The rate of the (17)F(p,gamma)(18)Ne reaction is important in various astrophysical events. A previous (17)F(p,p)(17)F measurement identified a 3;{+} state providing strongest resonance contribution, but strength was unknown. We have directly measured using mixed beam (17)F and (17)O at ORNL. for (18)Ne found to be omegagamma = 33 +/- 14(stat) +/-1 7(syst) meV, corresponding gamma width Gamma_{gamma} 56 24(stat) 30(syst) meV.

The best examples of halo nuclei, exotic systems with a diffuse nuclear cloud surrounding tightly bound core, are found in the light, neutron-rich region, where neutrons experience only weak binding and weak, or no, potential barrier. Modern direct-reaction measurement techniques provide powerful probes structure nuclei. Despite more than four decades these studies on benchmark one-neutron nucleus 11Be, spectroscopic factors for two states remain poorly constrained. In present work,...
Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-2103, a novel conjugate paclitaxel poly-l-glutamic acid, in heavily pretreated patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. Patients Methods Ninety-nine measurable disease received intravenous CT-2103 at 175 mg/m 2 conjugated over 10 minutes every 3 weeks without routine premedications. Platinum-sensitive (n = 42) platinum-refractory platinum-resistant 57) were enrolled. Thirty-nine (39%) had one two prior regimens,...
