The Advanced Exotic Beam Laboratory (AEBL) at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) will provide a research facility for studies of nuclear phenomena by using beams of short-lived isotopes for research on the nature of nucleonic matter and the origin of the elements, for tests of the Standard Model, for applications in medicine and industry, and for other applied physics research. The proposed design of the AEBL driver linac evolved from the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) project. The AEBL will be a CW linac capable of accelerating uranium ions up to 200 MeV/u and protons to 580 MeV with 400 kW beam power. The AEBL facility also includes a post-accelerator which is designed for acceleration of radioactive ions with charge-to-mass ratios in the range from 1/238 to 1/6. Very low charge-state ions can be most eciently bunched and accelerated by using normally-conducting radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) for the rst few MV of the post accelerator. A two-meter long, 12-MHz CW RFQ was designed, built, and tested in the late 1990s as the rst section of a three-section RFQ [18]. This RFQ achieved inter-electrode voltages of 110 kV CW (the peak surface eld was 15 MV/m) and accelerated beams with A/q as large as 132 (132Xe). The AEBL requires a similar RFQ for the post-acceleration of singly-charged unstable nuclides. Our plan is to replace the vanes of this RFQ with a design that incorporates a stronger focusing and that will achieve a higher peak surface eld (16 MV/m) at 82.2-kV inter-vane voltage. The objectives of this project are 1. to conrm the possibility of a low injection energy of 0.4 keV/u which signicantly reduces the voltage required for a high-voltage deck; 2. to test the highest possible peak surface eld on the RFQ electrodes designed for the lowest frequency of 12 MHz compared to existing RFQs worldwide; 3. to provide a technical base for the design of a post-accelerator for the future Advanced Exotic Beam Facility. At the present time, the design is complete, and the fabrication of the 12 MHz RFQ is scheduled to commence in October 2007 with testing planned in 2008. The physics and engineering design of the RFQ is discussed.

We present specific heat and magnetic studies as a function of temperature and magnetic field for U2(Ni1−xFex)2Sn alloys (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) and their hydrides (absorption of ≈ 2 H/f.u.). For the parent alloys, antiferromagnetic order is rapidly suppressed with increasing Fe concentration and non-Fermi-liquid behavior was found for x = 0.2. Hydrogenation of the parent alloys causes a substantial increase of TN in Fe-low hydrides (x < 0.2), while Fe-rich hydrides show an unexpected appearance of ferromagnetism in the range 0.4 ≤ x ≤ 0.8. Some of the findings are compared with similar studies in U2Co2Sn and U2Co2InH1.9.

The Advanced Exotic Beam Laboratory (AEBL) at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) will provide a research facility for studies of nuclear phenomena by using beams of short-lived isotopes for research in the nature of nucleonic matter, the origin of the elements, tests of the Standard Model along with applications in medicine, industry, and other applied physics research. The proposed design of the AEBL driver linac evolved from the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) project. It is a CW 850 MV linac capable of accelerating uranium ions up to 200 MeV/u and protons to 570 MeV with 400 kW beam power. The first section of the linac is a 57 MHz pseudo split coaxial CW Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) linac. This is followed by 221 superconducting cavities of various types. A section of the RFQ linac was fabricated and tested under R\&D funding for the RIA Project. This is the first section of the six-section, 392 cm RFQ linac. This paper describes the design, fabrication, and testing of this RFQ.

Insulin-Like Growth Factors and Their Binding Proteins in Tumors and Ascites of Ovarian Cancer Patients: Association With Response To Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Purpose: Tumor cell growth and sensitivity to chemotherapy depend on many factors, among which insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) may play important roles. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the levels of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) in primary tumors and ascites as predictors of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Materials and Methods: Tumor tissue samples and ascitic fluid were obtained from 59 patients with advanced OC. The levels of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4 and PAPP-A were determined using ELISA kits. Taking into account the data on expression of these IGF-related proteins and outcome, logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of response to neoajuvant chemotherapy. Results: Human ovarian tumors expressed IGFs, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4 and PAPP-A and these proteins were also present in ascites fluid and associated with its volume. IGFs and IGFBPs in ascites and soluble PAPP-A might play a key role in ovarian cancer progression. However, levels of proteins of the IGF system in tumors were not significant predictors of objective clinical response (oCR). Univariate analysis showed that the level of IGF-I in ascites was the only independent predictor for oCR. Conclusion: The level of IGF-I in ascites was shown to be an independent predictor of objective clinical response to chemotherapy for OC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and debulking surgery.

In this report, authors reports the latest site survey on the Khanka lake region. Promorie, Russia. Mainly. the surveys were concentrated on the bronze age and medieval age sites. Methods for investigating sites include collecting surface artefacts, naming GPS data, and gathering carbon for C14 dating. Khanka lake region is located on the borderline with China(Yanbian korean autonomous region) and Tumen valley region of Korean Peninsula, so we hope that our preliminary survey shed light on the study of ancient culture in the Southern part of Primorie, poorly known in spite of increased interests in korean archaeology.
