Objective: To assess the association between achievement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels ≤0.2 ng/mL (henceforth ‘ultralow’) and clinical outcomes in patients in the ‘Targeted Investigational Treatment Analysis of Novel Anti-androgen’ (TITAN) study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02489318) with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Patients and Methods: Patients in th

Ticks are known vectors of various pathogens, including bacteria, parasites and viruses, that impact both animal and human health. Improving knowledge of the distribution of tick-borne pathogens, combined with their early detection in ticks, are essential steps to fight against tick-borne diseases and mitigate their impacts. Here we give an overview of what are the common methods of pathogen detec

The Last Hour is one of plan b's series of works with spontaneous, real time text. Like How Do You Keep Talking, what we say is not rehearsed or set but happens in the moment. We set ourselves the task of saying everything we have left out of our relationship until now, as if we had one last hour together. We sit behind a long table with two microphones, dressed formally as if attending a press co

We claim that double moments of twoparticle distributions are very sensitive quantities for testing the opposite side quantum number correlations ine + e −-annihilation predicted by the quark parton model. In particular it is found that kaon correlations are extremely transparent in these quantities. This feature survives when the QCD predictedQ 2-dependence is taken into account. We also stress t

The Day the Books Took Off was a sited piece for the International English Library in Düsseldorf for the 'Stadtprojekt: Wenn die Häuser Trauer Tragen' - (When the Buildings Carry Grief) as part of Impulse Festival in 2018. The extension to the Wilhelm-Marx-Haus (one of the first skyscrapers in Europe when it was built in 1924) currently houses a number of public institutions, among them the Forum

A performance lecture based on the extensive daily recordings with a GPS that Daniel Belasco Rogers and Sophia New have been collecting, a practice they continue to the present. Within the framework of the urban choreographic lab Stadterweitern in Berlin they presented some thoughts and reflections on data, memory, daily practice, intimacy, physicality, distance and sharing space and time for deca

The Mosul Dam, one of Iraq’s most significant infrastructural projects, has been the subject of extensive debate and scrutiny,often overshadowed by negative narratives concerning its safety and environmental impact. These narratives overlook the dam’s significant function in creating food and energy and fostering local, regional, and global water cooperation. This article seeks to provide a compre

High-energy models for πN backward scattering are investigated with respect to consistency with low-energy data using CMSR. As low-energyt-channel input, ππ phase shifts are used below the KK threshold and narrow-width approximations for higher meson poles. Real parts are restricted to appear in thes-channel physical region. A pole model with a double zero in Nα and a « geometrical delta » model r

As part of the group show at Quartier am Hafen in Cologne the group show entitled 'Carried Landscapes' was about places of personal significance. plan b showed a print of all of their GPS traces to date.

This article revisits the Aceh Chinese experience during the 2004 tsunami and their lives in Aceh, shaped by the region’s distinct legal and political context. Drawing on ethnographic research, it follows the life of an Aceh Chinese woman born in a small town south of Banda Aceh, highlighting the tragedy she and her community endured during the Tsunami. Through her memories, the article takes read

This study investigates subject use in [-topic shift] and [+topic shift] contexts in Standard Italian and Venetian - two close varieties which differ in their use of overt and null pronouns. In an acceptability judgment, we compare two groups of bilectals in their two varieties: children aged 7-12 years, divided in strong and weak dialect speakers, and an adult control group. All groups show diffe

The present paper deals with the acquisition of gender in Italian and French by monolingual and bilingual children. In our study, which is based on the data of five children, we focus on the gender marking on articles, because gender is most frequently marked on these elements. We claim that the Italian gender system is easier to acquire than the French gender system. This is because the formal pr
