Development of nanoparticle agents for cancer therapeutics and diagnostics is steadily progressing and was the subject of the inaugural conference entitled, "Nano in Cancer," held during January 12–15, 2011, in Miami, FL. The meeting program was developed by co-chairs David Piwnica-Worms (Washington University in St. Louis), Jan Schnitzer (Proteogenomics Research Institute for Systems Medicine,...

The Laser Applications at Accelerators network (LA3NET) was selected for funding within the European Union's 7th Framework Programme. During its 4 year duration the project has successfully trained 19 Fellows and organized numerous events that were open to the wider laser and accelerator communities. The network linked research into lasers and accelerators to develop advanced particle sources, ...

The VISA (Visible to Infrared SASE Amplifier) experiment at BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) has previously demonstrated saturation at 840 nm in 2001. Further SASE studies, in 2003, have demonstrated an anomalously large bandwidth spread of the FEL spectrum due to offangle emissions. This paper disseminates the current and future program of the VISA experiments at BNL. This includes a study...

Improved tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics are required. Induced sputum sampling is superior to spontaneous sputum analysis for diagnosis of pulmonary TB. Therefore, we examined the applicability of induced sputum in primary health centers of the Peruvian TB program and studied the safety and tolerability of this procedure. We show that induced sputum is safe, inexpensive, and well-tolerated in a r...
