A recent quantum mechanical study [W. Isaacs and M. A. Morrison, Phys. Rev. A 57, R9 (1998)] discovered pronounced oscillations in cross sections for near-resonant energy transfer collisions of rare-gas atoms with initially aligned Rydberg atoms. We analyze such collisions for 17d(m)-->18p(m(')) transitions in the Ca-He system semiclassically and show that the oscillations arise from a phase in...

The detailed morphological description of 4 cases with cebocephaly, 3 of which were karotyped (one with D trisomy and 2 with normal karyotypes), are presented. Analysis of all cytogenetically studied cases with this malformation reveals that cebocephaly with a normal karyotype may result from more than one mutant gene, and so it may be accompanied by different extracranial abnormalities. On the...

BackgroundAdvanced/recurrent cervical cancer has limited therapeutic options, with a median progression-free survival after the failure of systemic treatments ranging between 3.5 and 4.5 months. Here, we reported our preliminary experience in use BYL719 (alpelisib) advanced/recurrent at least 2 lines treatment.MethodsThis is prospective trial testing role alpelisib PIK3CA mutated patients. The ...

We classify primes p for which there exist elliptic curves E/Q with conductor NE ∈ {18p, 36p, 72p} and nontrivial rational 2-torsion, and, in consequence, show that, for “almost all” primes p, the Diophantine equation x + y = pz has at most finitely many solutions in coprime nonzero integers x, y and z and positive integers α and n ≥ 4. To prove this result, we appeal to such disparate techniqu...

Idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD) is a group of movement disorders which is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with reduced penetrance. Most patients with ITD present with focal dystonia at adult age. However, thus far, this common subform remained unmapped chromosomally. In contrast, a rare early onset, more generalized form of ITD has been mapped to chromosome 9q34. Our linkage...
