A recent article published by Britschgi et al. in Cancer Cell, “JAK2/STAT5 Inhibition Circumvents Resistance to PI3K/mTOR Blockade: A Rationale for Cotargeting These Pathways in Metastatic Breast Cancer,” describes a ...

In The Economy of Cities, Jane Jacobs conjectured that the world's first cities preceded the origins of agriculture, a proposition that was most recently revived by Peter Taylor in the pages of this journal. Jacobs' idea ...

The concept of "exorbitant privilege" has received great attention from policy makers as well as academics worldwide. The idea originally referred to the willingness of foreigners to hold large quantities of US government ...

This dissertation is a study of ordinary North Korean people who have persevered in the face of tremendous social, political, and economic trials throughout their country's modern history and a tribute to their unflagging ...

We present broad-band observations of the afterglow and environment of the short GRB 111020A. An extensive X-ray light curve from Swift/XRT, XMM-Newton and Chandra, spanning ∼ 100 seconds to 10 days after the burst, reveals ...

One of the greatest impediments to extracting useful information from high luminosity hadroncollider data is radiation from secondary collisions (i.e. pileup) which can overlap with that of the primary interaction. In this ...

The measurement of the jet energy resolution is presented using data recorded with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV . The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb−1. Jets are ...

We investigate the exclusive jet mass distribution in e+e− events, defined with a veto on the out-of-jet radiation, at two-loop order. In particular, we calculate the two-loop soft function, which is required to describe ...

Soft interactions with high-energy jets are explored in radial coordinates which exploit the approximately conformal behavior of perturbative gauge theories. In these coordinates, the jets, approximated by Wilson lines, ...
