New treatments for ovarian cancer are available that require trade-offs between progression-free survival and quality of life. The aim of this study was to develop a decision aid for patients with homologous recombinant proficient (HRP) tumors, as the benefit-harm ratio of niraparib needs consideration. This decision aid was created with a systematic and iterative development process based on the Ottawa Decision Support Framework.

Bands of the g Φ-X Δ, g Φ-A Π, g Φ-a Δ, and g Φ-b Π electronic transitions of iron monodeuteride (FeD) have been measured in laser excitation and in dispersed fluorescence. The molecules were produced both in a cold supersonic molecular jet source and in a chemical reaction between iron pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)] and a microwave discharge of argon and hydrogen gases. Dispersed fluorescence from the latter source was detected at high resolution with a Fourier transform spectrometer, yielding a large number of the transitions observed.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their N-substituted derivatives are among the largest species for which gas-phase high-resolution spectroscopy can be performed nowadays. In this paper we report the observation and analysis of spectra from several N-substituted two-ring PAHs, all taken in the "fingerprint" far-infrared region (<850 cm(-1)). Together with accurate measurements of their pure rotational transitions in the millimeter and submillimeter ranges, these synchrotron-based Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements provide an accurate description of the rotational energy levels in the ground and low-energy excited vibrational states of these species.

Quantum monodromy has a dramatic and defining impact on all those physical properties of chain-molecules that depend on a large-amplitude bending coordinate, including in particular the distribution of the ro-vibrational energy levels. As revealed by its pure rotational (a-type) spectrum [B. P.
