“…Moreover, after the launch, in 1991, of the BATSE instrument on board the CGRO, a very high degree of isotropy was found in the new, much larger sample. Finally, the measurement in 1997 of the first GRB redshift (Metzger et al 1997) and the subsequent ones have confirmed that GRBs are at cosmological distances.…”

“…One of these last two bursts is GRB 980425, presumably related to SN 1998bw (Galama et al 1999), which is thought to be a peculiar GRB. In both classifications GRB 970508 (Metzger et al 1997) was assigned to class II. The assignation of any individual GRB to a given class by our methods is not entirely reliable, however, and has an uncertainty that is most important in the limiting region of each cluster.…”

We have applied two different automatic classifier algorithms to the BATSE Current GRB Catalog data and we obtain three different classes of GRBs. Our results confirm the existence of a third, intermediate class of GRBs, with mean duration \sim 25-50 s, as deduced from a cluster analysis and from a neural network algorithm. Our analyses imply longer durations than those found by Mukherjee et al. (1998) and Horvath (1998), whose intermediate class had durations \sim 2-10 s. From the neural network analysis no difference in hardness between the two longest classes is found, and from both methods we find that the intermediate-duration class constitutes the most homogeneous sample of GRBs in its space distribution while the longest-duration class constitutes the most inhomogeneous one with \sim 0.1, being thus the deepest population of GRBs with z_max \sim 10. The trend previously found in long bursts, of spatial inhomogeneity increasing with hardness, only holds for this new longest-duration class.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures, to appear in MNRA

“…The development of hypothyroidism in older breast cancer survivors is fairly common because a portion of the thyroid gland can be included in the treatment field; however, supraclavicular irradiation does not amplify risks. The incidence of hypothyroidism is as high as 30%-50% in patients treated with radiation for a head and neck malignancy or Hodgkin's disease [40,41,43,44].…”

Hypothyroidism After a Cancer Diagnosis: Etiology, Diagnosis, Complications, and Management

Hypothyroidism is a common disease that is easily treated in the majority of cases, when readily diagnosed; however, presentation of an aggregate of its symptoms is often clinically overlooked or attributed to another disease and can potentially be lethal. Already prevalent in older women, its occurrence in younger patients is rising as a result of radiation therapy, radioactive iodine therapy, and newer antineoplastic agents used to manage various malignancies. The presence of nonspecific constitutional symptoms and neuropsychiatric complaints in cancer patients can be attributed to a myriad of other diagnoses and therapies. Thyroid dysfunction can be easily overlooked in cancer patients because of the complexity of cancer's clinical picture, particularly in the pediatric population. Underdiagnosis can have important consequences for the management of both hypothyroidism and the malignancy. At minimum, quality of life is adversely affected. Untreated hypothyroidism can lead to heart failure, psychosis, and coma and can reduce the effectiveness of potentially life-saving cancer therapies, whereas iatrogenic causes can provoke atrial fibrillation and osteoporosis. Consequently, the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism in cancer patients are pertinent. We summarize the history, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis, and management of hypothyroidism in cancer patients. The Oncologist 2014;19:34-43Implications for Practice: Clinicians should be aware of the role that hypothyroidism can play in the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of cancer. Because the myriad of symptoms associated with hypothyroidism can easily be attributed to the initial malignancy, to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or to cancer recurrence, it is easy to miss the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Timely diagnosis and treatment is necessary to minimize the complications of hypothyroidism, to optimize cancer therapy, and to minimize recurrence.We highlight newer therapies associated with hypothyroidism and the negative impact that hypothyroidism can have in patients with a malignancy.

“…Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) studies indicate that the main modifications are the absence of the gold surface state and the appearance of an iron state induced in the PTCDA highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap.Organic molecules are one of the most promising candidates to substitute inorganic materials in nanoscale devices. Up to now, these organic materials have found several optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting devices, [1,2] organic transistors, [3,4] organic lasers, [5,6] organic rectifiers, [7] and organic memories. [8] Most of these devices take advantage of the confinement properties due to the nanostructuring of the organic molecules in 2D thin films or 1D nanowires.…”

Nanostructured Organic Material: From Molecular Chains to Organic Nanodots

et al. 2006

Deposition of 3,4,9,10‐perylene‐tetracarboxylic‐dianhydride on iron island arrays on Au(111) results in the formation of new nanostructures. By controlling the amount of iron deposited on the gold surface, two kinds of aggregates are obtained: molecular chains and organic nanodots (see figure). These nanostructures possess a different density of states from the two‐dimensional self‐assembled molecular layer.
