Accurate descriptions of P leaching are important because excess P applied to soils can enter surface water via leaching and subsurface transport, thereby negatively impacting water quality. The objectives of this study were to monitor P leaching in soils with a long-term history of waste application, relate soil solution P concentrations to soil P status, and quantify P leaching losses. Soil s...

Quantized magnetic disks consisting of an array of single domain Ni pillars with a density of 18 Gbits/in. were fabricated using nanoimprint lithography ~NIL! and electroplating. The total disk area, limited by the NIL mold, is 4 cm34 cm, leading to a total 45 Gbits. Magnetic force microscope ~MFM! images show that all pillars 70 nm in diameter and 400 nm in height are single domain. The magnet...

PURPOSE Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 93-11 trial received radiation doses of 70.9, 77.4, 83.8, or 90.3 Gy. The locoregional control and survival rates were similar among the various dose levels. We investigated the effect of the gross tumor volume (GTV) on the outcome. METHODS AND MATERIALS The GTV was defined as the sum of th...

BACKGROUND The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is growing at a faster rate than any other malignancy. However, it is unknown what effect age is having on the changing PTC incidence rates. With the goal of understanding the role of age in thyroid cancer incidence, this study analyzes the changing demographics of patients with PTC over the past three decades. METHODS This was a retr...
