Adalimumab in active ulcerative colitis: a "real-life" observational study
No full textThe effectiveness of adalimumab in the treatment of ulcerative colitis is under debate. Although controlled trials have shown that adalimumab is significantly better than placebo, the absolute clinical benefit is modest. We report data on the effectiveness of adalimumab in a cohort of ulcerative colitis patients treated in 22 Italian centres
Predictions for the rates of compact binary coalescences observable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors
No full textWe present an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the initial and advanced versions of the ground-based gravitational-wave detectors LIGO and Virgo. Astrophysical estimates for compact-binary coalescence rates depend on a number of assumptions and unknown model parameters and are still uncertain. Themost confident among these estimates are the rate predictions for coalescing binary neutron stars which are based on extrapolations from observed binary pulsars in our galaxy. These yield a likely coalescence rate of 100 Myr(-1) per Milky Way Equivalent Galaxy (MWEG), although the rate could plausibly range from 1 Myr(-1) MWEG(-1) to 1000 Myr(-1) MWEG(-1) (Kalogera et al 2004 Astrophys. J. 601 L179; Kalogera et al 2004 Astrophys. J. 614 L137 ( erratum)). We convert coalescence rates into detection rates based on data from the LIGO S5 and Virgo VSR2 science runs and projected sensitivities for our advanced detectors. Using the detector sensitivities derived from these data, we find a likely detection rate of 0.02 per year for Initial LIGO-Virgo interferometers, with a plausible range between 2 x 10(-4) and 0.2 per year. The likely binary neutron-star detection rate for the Advanced LIGO-Virgo network increases to 40 events per year, with a range between 0.4 and 400 per year

is Japan, now in press, and tbe otber
recently published hy the National

Embedded Software of the KM3NeT Central Logic Board
No full textThe KM3NeT Collaboration is building and operating two deep sea neutrino
telescopes at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The telescopes consist of
latices of photomultiplier tubes housed in pressure-resistant glass spheres,
called digital optical modules and arranged in vertical detection units. The
two main scientific goals are the determination of the neutrino mass ordering
and the discovery and observation of high-energy neutrino sources in the
Universe. Neutrinos are detected via the Cherenkov light, which is induced by
charged particles originated in neutrino interactions. The photomultiplier
tubes convert the Cherenkov light into electrical signals that are acquired and
timestamped by the acquisition electronics. Each optical module houses the
acquisition electronics for collecting and timestamping the photomultiplier
signals with one nanosecond accuracy. Once finished, the two telescopes will
have installed more than six thousand optical acquisition nodes, completing one
of the more complex networks in the world in terms of operation and
synchronization. The embedded software running in the acquisition nodes has
been designed to provide a framework that will operate with different hardware
versions and functionalities. The hardware will not be accessible once in
operation, which complicates the embedded software architecture. The embedded
software provides a set of tools to facilitate remote manageability of the
deployed hardware, including safe reconfiguration of the firmware. This paper
presents the architecture and the techniques, methods and implementation of the
embedded software running in the acquisition nodes of the KM3NeT neutrino
telescopes
