We report the discovery of two new ZZ Ceti pulsators, LP 133−144 and HE 1258+0123, selected on the basis of model atmosphere fits to optical spectroscopic data. The atmospheric parameters for LP 133−144, Teff = 11, 800 ± 200 K and log g = 7.87 ± 0.05, and for HE 1258+0123, Teff = 11, 410 ± 200 K and log g = 8.04 ± 0.05, place them within the empirical boundaries of the ZZ Ceti instability strip...

Based on positive results from the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 85-01 trial, the conventional nonsurgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma is combined-modality therapy. Dose intensification of the RTOG 85-01 regimen, examined in the Intergroup (INT)-0123/RTOG 94-05 trial, did not improve local control or survival. Areas of clinical investigation include the development of combined-m...
