“…The method of taking into account the influence of the molecular structure of a β‐source on the β‐electron energy was elaborated for this problem (see e.g. [120, 132, 135] and review [34]). This method had been widely used in Laboratories measured the neutrino rest mass on β‐spectrometers.…”

BACKGROUND:The authors evaluated the feasibility, toxicity, and efficacy of gefitinib added to first‐line combined‐modality therapy for patients with locally advanced squamous carcinoma of the head and neck.METHODS:Patients with biopsy‐proven locally advanced squamous carcinoma of the head and neck who had low expected cure rates with local treatment modalities alone were eligible for this treatment. All patients received a 6‐week induction course of docetaxel, carboplatin, infusional 5‐fluorouracil, and gefitinib (250 mg daily). Gefitinib was continued while patients received concurrent weekly docetaxel and radiation therapy. After the completion of radiation therapy, gefitinib was continued until patients developed disease progression or for a maximum of 24 months.RESULTS:Sixty‐two patients (53% with stage IV disease) received protocol treatment, and 50 patients (81%) were able to complete the regimen. The addition of gefitinib increased the incidence of grade 3/4 mucositis (27%) and diarrhea (16%) during induction therapy but did not appear to add substantially to toxicity during concurrent chemoradiation. The estimated 3‐year progression‐free and overall survival rates for the entire group were 41% and 54%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:The addition of gefitinib was associated with a moderate increase in toxicity with this combined modality regimen, particularly during induction therapy. Although this regimen was efficacious, the survival results overlap with results reported with chemoradiation alone. The role of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors in first‐line, combined‐modality therapy for patients with head and neck cancer remains undefined.

“…The wave function overlap code has been interfaced to the Sharc program package , with the focus of performing nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. Because of the general formalism employed, the code is certainly not limited to this application, and other tasks can be envisaged where the new code will be beneficial, for example, the comparison of wave functions constructed at different levels of theory and probing the initial electronic states after β-decay or after the photoionization of core-electrons . Furthermore, the computation of Dyson norms, as required for the simulation of photoelectron spectra, can be achieved by a slight modification of the code.…”

A new algorithm for the computation of the overlap between many-electron wave functions is described. This algorithm allows for the extensive use of recurring intermediates and thus provides high computational efficiency. Because of the general formalism employed, overlaps can be computed for varying wave function types, molecular orbitals, basis sets, and molecular geometries. This paves the way for efficiently computing nonadiabatic interaction terms for dynamics simulations. In addition, other application areas can be envisaged, such as the comparison of wave functions constructed at different levels of theory. Aside from explaining the algorithm and evaluating the performance, a detailed analysis of the numerical stability of wave function overlaps is carried out, and strategies for overcoming potential severe pitfalls due to displaced atoms and truncated wave functions are presented.

“…So the probability of an excitation of the daughter molecule must be averaged over the rotational and summed over the vibrational quantum states. As was shown in [14,15] (for a detailed derivation see review [3]), the probability of the excitation of the daughter molecule in the nth electronic state has the following simple form:…”

“…The different aspects of the extraction of information about the neutrino rest mass from the tritium β decay spectrum were discussed in reviews [1][2][3][4][5][6] and original experimental studies (see [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]). Here I present a brief analysis of the modern state of m ν measurements on tritium sources and suggest some possible checks of the negative m 2 ν puzzle.…”

We present the discussion of the modern state of measurements on tritium sources. In all experimental studies of the neutrino rest mass, the sources have a molecular structure. The peculiarities of the decay in molecules and the connection between the extrapolated endpoint energy, , and the atomic mass defect are analysed. The possible reasons for the negative puzzle are discussed. We propose a new strategy of fitting parameters which can help to understand the origin of negative values.
