    Notes: A nonintercepting beam velocity monitoring system has been installed in the 300 keV injection line of the TRIUMF cyclotron to reproduce the injection energy for different ion source beams and monitor any beam energy fluctuations. The monitor is tuned to resonate at 46 MHz and is 3.25 m downstream from the first 23 MHz buncher. The phase difference between the first buncher and the pickup is related to the average beam velocity, i.e., beam energy. The energy sensitivity of the measurement is 1×10−4. The dynamic range of the monitor with beam current is 60 dB, and the measured instantaneous beam intensity can go down to 100 nA. The theory behind the device and the results of beam tests will be described. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract:  Previous studies have reported that tamoxifen use is associated with a decrease in mammographic breast density. This is a potentially valuable finding since mammographic sensitivity is limited by breast density. Anything that reduces breast density would theoretically enhance the sensitivity of mammography for the detection of breast cancer in women at an earlier stage when it is more curable. We performed a retrospective study investigating the potential effect of tamoxifen on breast density. The data for this retrospective study were collected from the records of 52 charts from a single medical oncologist. Patients with breast cancer were selected regardless of stage or age at the time of diagnosis or treatment, as long as their charts had records of bilateral mammograms. For each breast on each woman, both mediolateral oblique and craniocaudal views were reviewed independently by two radiologists on two separate occasions to obtain inter- and intraobserver variability. Two methods of classifying breast density were used: the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), and measurements of percent density. Only age and menopausal status were found to be associated with breast density. There was no correlation between breast density and tamoxifen use (past or present). Our study shows no association between tamoxifen use and breast density. We confirm previous observations that breast density is inversely correlated with age and postmenopausal status.

    Properties of TiN films deposited at low temperature in a new plasma-based deposition system (1996)

    Notes: Stoichiometric titanium nitride (TiN) films were deposited at less than 130 °C in a new configuration of the helicon activated reactive evaporation system. An in situ ellipsometer was used to monitor the optical properties of the films during growth. The film stress, lattice parameter, surface roughness, crystallite size, and preferred orientation were investigated as a function of substrate bias and hence ion energy of the incident species. The intrinsic stress dependence on ion energy shows the expected result also shown by a variety of materials and is in good agreement with the theoretical model of Davis [Thin Solid Films 226, 30 (1993)]. The high stress level at −50 V bias is confirmed by measurement of lattice parameter. X-ray-diffraction measurements show that the (111)-preferred orientation normal to the substrate surface correlates strongly with the stress level of the films. By correlating our results with those from a number of other reported studies at higher substrate temperature we conclude that the observed preferred orientation in TiN films can be explained from the viewpoint of the energy minimization principle. Kinetic factors are of less importance except possibly at the highest bombardment energies. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    The application of the cathodic arc to plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition of carbon (1996)

    Notes: This article reports on the properties of hydrogenated carbon films deposited using a cathodic arc decomposition process with a graphite cathode used in a plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition mode. In this application of the cathodic arc, acetylene is broken down into radicals to form hydrogenated amorphous carbon films. Some results are also reported using hydrogen gas. The density in terms of plasmon energy or sp3 fraction of the films has been found to decrease with increasing acetylene or hydrogen flow rate, approaching the value for glow discharge deposited polymer-like hydrogenated amorphous carbon. When substrate bias is used, the hydrogen content is reduced and graphite microcrystals appear, together with cauliflower-like growths. In the range between 100 and 500 V, negative substrate bias increases the density of the films. Overall, the hydrogen content decreases with the density of the films. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Structural investigation of two carbon nitride solids produced by cathodic arc deposition and nitrogen implantation (1996)

    Notes: Carbon nitride materials have been the focus of research efforts worldwide. Most materials studied have been amorphous, with only a few groups claiming to have found a crystalline material. We investigate the structure of amorphous carbon nitride solids produced by two different techniques: cathodic arc deposition and high dose nitrogen implantation of glassy carbon. Transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, energy filtered electron diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy are all used to derive structural information. It was found that the carbon nitride materials prepared by both techniques have similar structures and [N]/[C] ratios (0.3). The materials appear to have a primarily sp2 bonded carbon structure with a smaller bond length than found in amorphous carbon. This is explained by nitrogen substituting into "rings'' to a saturation level of about one nitrogen per three carbon atoms. We have found no evidence for a C3N4 crystalline structure, nor any amorphous derivative of it. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Optimization and analysis of solar selective surfaces with continuous and multilayer profiles (1995)

    Notes: Both continuous and multilayer profiles of solar selective surfaces have been analyzed and optimized. The structure having the highest photothermal efficiency has two uniform absorbing layers with two antireflection layers of different refractive index materials. Interference effects were analyzed in terms of optical path length of the sublayers and their combination. The phase cancellation positions for the optimized multilayer profiles are well distributed in the solar radiation range but do not occur at wavelengths above about 2.5 μm. A study of the electric-field distribution in these optimized profiles has shown that the sharp transition at above about 2.5 μm from low to high reflectance is due to the absence of high filling factor sublayers which can act as an effective reflecting substrate. The selective properties of the optimized multilayer structures are not particularly sensitive to the optimized graded profile for thickness variations of ±20%. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have deposited boronated highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:B) films with low stress using a filtered cathodic vacuum arc. The sp3 fraction, hardness, and resistivity were measured as a function of the ion energy and were found to reach a maximum above 50 eV for B concentrations of 2% and 4%. The most significant result we found was that highly tetrahedral a-C:B film (sp3≈80%) with low stress (1–3 GPa) with B concentrations up to 4% could be obtained. The B in the films was found to be predominantly (≈75%) sp2 bonded. Additionally, the stress in the films did not vary with the ion energy or sp3 fraction unlike in regular ta-C films. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A 60-year-old woman with multiple psychosocial issues presented with a history of spontaneous painful bruising on her left upper arm. Extensive investigations did not reveal any abnormality apart from an elevated activated partial thromboplastin time as a result of factor XII deficiency. An autoerythrocyte sensitization test reproduced the tender bruises on her back. Our patient reported relief of pain with promethazine injections. She was subsequently referred to the psychiatric team for ongoing assessment and management. Having an awareness of this rare condition will assist in the prevention of unnecessary investigation of such cases and will allow the early referral of patients for appropriate psychological counselling.

    Notes: To test the efficacy of omeprazole, furazolidone and amoxicillin triple therapy for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection after failure of standard first-line therapy recommended by the Asia-Pacific Consensus on the management of H. pylori infection.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Patients with failed H. pylori eradication received omeprazole, 20 mg, furazolidone, 100 mg, and amoxicillin, 1 g, all twice daily for 1 week. Endoscopy (CLO test, histology and culture) was performed before treatment. Post-treatment H. pylori status was determined by 13C-urea breath test 6 weeks later.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Fifty patients were recruited. Resistance to metronidazole, clarithromycin and both drugs was in the range of 50–64%, 60–75% and 40–50%, respectively, after failure of first-line therapy. Amoxicillin resistance was not found. The intention-to-treat and per protocol H. pylori eradication rates were 52% and 53%, respectively. Patients with double resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin showed the lowest eradication rate (38%), which was significantly lower than that of patients with sensitive strains (88%). Side-effects were minimal and compliance was excellent (98%).〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:One-week omeprazole, furazolidone and amoxicillin rescue therapy achieved a high eradication rate in strains sensitive to metronidazole and clarithromycin. This is a cheap and safe rescue regimen when guided by pre-treatment sensitivity testing.
