Synthesis and structural characterisation of germanium(II) halide complexes with neutral N-donor ligands.
2010
The Ge(II) complexes [GeX(2)(L-L)] (L-L = 1,10-phen (X = Cl, Br); L-L = Me(2)N(CH(2))(2)NMe(2), 2,2'-bipy (X = Cl)), [GeX(L-L)][GeX(3)] (L-L = 2,2'-bipy (X = Br); L-L = pmdta (MeN(CH(2)CH(2)NMe(2))(2)) (X = Cl, Br)) have been prepared and their crystal structures determined. The crystal structure of [GeCl(2){Me(2)N(CH(2))(2)NMe(2)}] shows a weakly associated centrosymmetric dimer based upon distorted square-pyramidal coordination at Ge(II) and containing asymmetrically chelating diamine ligands. The structure of [GeCl(2)(2,2'-bipy)] contains a chelating 2,2'-bipy ligand and forms a zig-zag chain polymer via long-range intermolecular Ge...Cl bridging interactions, leading to a very distorted…
Resolution of the ATLAS muon spectrometer monitored drift tubes in LHC Run 2
2019
The momentum measurement capability of the ATLAS muon spectrometer relies fundamentally on the intrinsic single-hit spatial resolution of the monitored drift tube precision tracking chambers. Optimal resolution is achieved with a dedicated calibration program that addresses the specific operating conditions of the 354 000 high-pressure drift tubes in the spectrometer. The calibrations consist of a set of timing offsets and drift time to drift distance transfer relations, and result in chamber resolution functions. This paper describes novel algorithms to obtain precision calibrations from data collected by ATLAS in LHC Run 2 and from a gas monitoring chamber, deployed in a dedicated gas fac…
Detecting cellular network anomalies using the knowledge discovery process
2015
Analytical companies unanimously forecast the exponential growth of mobile traffic consumption over the next five years. The densification of a network structure with small cells is regarded as a key solution to meet growing capacity demands. The manual management of a multi-layer network is a very expensive, error prone, and sluggish process. Hence, the automation of the whole life cycle of network operation is highly anticipated. To this aim 3GPP introduces a self-management concept referred to as SON. It is envisioned that SON updates information concerning the latest network conditions through the MDT mecha- nism. MDT enables a network operator to collect radio and service quality measurem…
Potential treatment strategy for the rare osimertinib resistant mutation EGFR L718Q
2020
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) L718Q is a rare resistant mutation which independently leads to third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance. Although a few studies have examined its resistance mechanisms, no effective treatment strategy has yet been proposed for patients with this mutation. Here, we report an effective treatment strategy for the rare EGFR L718Q mutation for the first time. A 44-year-old Chinese male patient initially presented with the sensitizing EGFR L858R mutation, and the progression-free survival (PFS) time after initial icotinib treatment was 9 months. When the progression of the disease (PD) and the EGFR T790M mutation were identified, he did …
Commissioning of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer with cosmic rays
2010
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider has collected several hundred million cosmic ray events during 2008 and 2009. These data were used to commission the Muon Spectrometer and to study the performance of the trigger and tracking chambers, their alignment, the detector control system, the data acquisition and the analysis programs. We present the performance in the relevant parameters that determine the quality of the muon measurement. We discuss the single element efficiency, resolution and noise rates, the calibration method of the detector response and of the alignment system, the track reconstruction efficiency and the momentum measurement. The results show that the detector i…
