Abstract
The title compound C12H8Br2N2O, lies on an inversion centre in the space group P21/n. Doubts are cast on the report of a polymorph of this structure in the non-centrosymmetric space group P21 [Zhu, R.-T., Liu, J.-C., Jin, S., Liu, B. & Guo J.-P. (2006). Hecheng Huaxue (Chin. J. Synth. Chem.) 14, 591] as ADDSYM alerts point strongly to a centrosymmetric structure. In the crystal, C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds together with offset π–π interactions stack the molecules along the a-axis direction.

Abstract
In the structure of the title compound C33H29BrClNO4, (I), the hexa-hydro-2H-acridine ring system has a hy-droxy-ethyl substituent on the N atom and a 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-hy-droxy-phenyl substituent on the central C atom at the 9-position. An unusual feature of the mol-ecule is that the substituents at the 3- and 5-positions of the outer cyclo-hexenone rings are phenyl rings rather than the more common dimethyl substituents. C atoms on both of the cyclo-hexenone rings are disordered over two sites. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π(ring) hydrogen bonds combine with an Br-O and unusual C-Br⋯π(ring) halogen bonds to generate a three dimensional network with mol-ecules stacked along the a-axis direction.

Abstract
To explore the operational role of noncovalent interactions in supramolecular architectures with designed topologies, a series of solid-state structures of 2- and 4-formylphenyl 4-substituted benzenesulfonates was investigated. The compounds are 2-formylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, C14H12O4S, 3a, 2-formylphenyl 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate, C13H9ClO4S, 3b, 2-formylphenyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate, C13H9BrO4S, 3c, 4-formylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, C14H12O4S, 4a, 4-formylphenyl 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate, 4b, C13H9ClO4S, and 4-formylphenyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate, C13H9BrO4S, 4c. The title compounds were synthesized under basic conditions from salicylaldehyde/4-hydroxybenzaldehydes and various aryl sulfonyl chlorides. Remarkably, halogen-bonding interactions are found to be important to rationalize the solid-state crystal structures. In particular, the formation of O...X (X = Cl and Br) and type I X...X halogen-bonding interactions have been analyzed by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and characterized using Bader's theory of `atoms in molecules' and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces, confirming the relevance and stabilizing nature of these interactions. They have been compared to antiparallel π-stacking interactions that are formed between the arylsulfonates.

Abstract
Two closely related hybrid species containing both, thiazolyl and coumarin groups, were synthesized by using two different one-pot procedures from a common precursor. The reaction of α-bromoacetylcoumarin with thioacetamide in methanol furnished 3‑(2‑methylthiazol‑4‑yl)‑2H‑chromen‑2‑one (2), whereas refluxing α‑bromoacetylcoumarin with potassium thiocyanate in ethanol afforded 3‑(2‑ethoxythiazol‑4‑yl)‑2H‑chromen‑2‑one (3). Both derivatives were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction studies. Intramolecular C4H⋯N and C5'H⋯OC hydrogen bonds between the heterocycles determine the conformational behavior. The co-planarity of the coumarin and thiazolyl rings favors the occurrence of two remote orbital interactions involving the oxygen and nitrogen lone pairs and the corresponding σ*CH electron acceptor, as demonstrated by Natural Bond Orbital population analysis. The 2-substitution of the thiazol‑4‑yl group has little effect on the molecular structures but causes significant differences in the crystal packing of the two compounds.

Abstract
Massive galaxy clusters have been found that date to times as early as three billion years after the Big Bang, containing stars that formed at even earlier epochs1-3. The high-redshift progenitors of these galaxy clusters-termed 'protoclusters'-can be identified in cosmological simulations that have the highest overdensities (greater-than-average densities) of dark matter4-6. Protoclusters are expected to contain extremely massive galaxies that can be observed as luminous starbursts 7 . However, recent detections of possible protoclusters hosting such starbursts8-11 do not support the kind of rapid cluster-core formation expected from simulations 12 : the structures observed contain only a handful of starbursting galaxies spread throughout a broad region, with poor evidence for eventual collapse into a protocluster. Here we report observations of carbon monoxide and ionized carbon emission from the source SPT2349-56. We find that this source consists of at least 14 gas-rich galaxies, all lying at redshifts of 4.31. We demonstrate that each of these galaxies is forming stars between 50 and 1,000 times more quickly than our own Milky Way, and that all are located within a projected region that is only around 130 kiloparsecs in diameter. This galaxy surface density is more than ten times the average blank-field value (integrated over all redshifts), and more than 1,000 times the average field volume density. The velocity dispersion (approximately 410 kilometres per second) of these galaxies and the enormous gas and star-formation densities suggest that this system represents the core of a cluster of galaxies that was already at an advanced stage of formation when the Universe was only 1.4 billion years old. A comparison with other known protoclusters at high redshifts shows that SPT2349-56 could be building one of the most massive structures in the Universe today.

Abstract
A fast-timing experiment was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory to measure the lifetimes of the lowest lying states of nuclei belonging to the deformed regions around mass number A≃110 and A≃150. These regions were populated via spontaneous fission of 252Cf and the gamma radiation following the decay of excited states in the fission fragments was measured using 51 Gammasphere detectors coupled with 25 LaBr3:Ce detectors. A brief description of the acquisition system and some preliminary results from the fast-timing analysis of the fission fragment 100Zr are presented. The lifetime value of τ = 840(65) ps was found for the 2+ state in 100Zr consistent within one standard deviation of the adopted value with 791 +26 -35ps. This is associated with a quadrupole deformation parameter of 0.36(2) which is within one standard deviation of the literature value of 0.3556+82 -57.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To model in a subset of patients from TROG 07.03 managed at a single site the association between domiciliary based humidification use and mucositis symptom burden during radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) when factoring in volumetric radiotherapy parameters derived from tumour and normal tissue regions of interest. MATERIALS/METHODS From June 2008 through June 2011, 210 patients with HNC receiving RT were randomised to either a control arm or humidification using the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare MR880 humidifier. This subset analysis involves patients recruited from Auckland City Hospital treated with a prescribed dose of ≥70 Gy. Regression models included control variables for Planning Target Volume 70 GY (PTV70Gy); Equivalent Uniform Dose (EUD) MOIST and TSV (surrogates of total mucosal and total swallowing volumes respectively). RESULTS The analysis included 39 patients (humidification 20, control 19). There was a significant odds reduction in CTCAE v3.0 functional mucositis score of 0.29 associated with the use of humidification (p<.001). Within the parameters of the model therefore, the risk of a humidification patient being scored as experiencing a one-step increase in functional mucositis was 3.45 times lower (1/0.29) than for control patients. A control patient was 4.17 times more likely to receive an unfavourable nutritional mode score (p<.001). The risk of being admitted to hospital decreased by a factor of 11.11 for humidification patients (p=.013). CONCLUSION The results support the hypothesis that humidification can help mitigate mucositis symptom burden. Radiotherapy dosimetric parameters assist in the evaluation of toxicity interventions.

Abstract
Modelling coordination compounds has been shown to be feasible using the invariom method; for the best fit to a given set of diffraction data, additional steps other than using lookup tables of scattering factors need to be carried out. Here such procedures are applied to a number of `duplicate structures', where structures of two or more supposedly different coordination complexes with identical ligand environments, but with different 3d metal ions, were published. However, only one metal atom can be plausibly correct in these structures, and other spectroscopic data are unavailable. Using aspherical scattering factors, a structure can be identified as correct from the deposited Bragg intensities alone and modelling only the ligand environment often suffices to make this distinction. This is not possible in classical refinements using the independent atom model. Quantum-chemical computations of the better model obtained after aspherical-atom refinement further confirm the assignment of the element in the respective figures of merit.

Abstract
The title compound, C24H21N3O3, crystallizes with two unique but closely r.m.s. overlay fit = 0.215 Å) comparable mol-ecules (1 and 2) in the asymmetric unit of the triclinic unit cell. In molecule 1, the dihedral angles between the central imidazlole ring and the benzene-ring substituents are 42.51 (9), 45.41 (9) and 56.92 (8)°, respectively. Comparable data for molecule 2 are 39.36 (10), 34.45 (11) and 60.34 (8)°, respectively. The rings at the 2-positions carry p-nitro substituents that subtend dihedral angles of 12.9 (4)° in mol-ecule 1 and 11.7 (4)° in mol-ecule 2 to their respective benzene ring planes. The imidazole rings also have propan-2-ol substituents on the 1-N atoms, which adopt extended conformations for the N-C-C-C chains. In the crystal, classical O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds combine with C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π(ring) hydrogen bonds and stack the molecules along the a-axis direction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) recommends operative exploration and resection of pancreatic cancers in the presence of reconstructable mesentericoportal axis involvement. However, there is no consensus on the ideal method of vascular reconstruction. The effect of depth of tumour invasion of the vessel wall on outcome is also unknown. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of pancreaticoduodenectomy with vein resection for T3 adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas across nine centres. Outcome measures were overall survival based on the impact of the depth of tumour infiltration of the vessel wall, and morbidity, in-hospital mortality and overall survival between types of venous reconstruction: primary closure, end-to-end anastomosis and interposition graft. RESULTS A total of 229 patients underwent portal vein resection; 129 (56·3 per cent) underwent primary closure, 64 (27·9 per cent) had an end-to-end anastomosis and 36 (15·7 per cent) an interposition graft. There was no difference in overall morbidity (26 (20·2 per cent), 14 (22 per cent) and 9 (25 per cent) respectively; P = 0·817) or in-hospital mortality (6 (4·7 per cent), 2 (3 per cent) and 2 (6 per cent); P = 0·826) between the three groups. One hundred and six patients (47·5 per cent) had histological evidence of vein involvement; 59 (26·5 per cent) had superficial invasion (tunica adventitia) and 47 (21·1 per cent) had deep invasion (tunica media or intima). Median survival was 18·8 months for patients who had primary closure, 27·6 months for those with an end-to-end anastomosis and 13·0 months among patients with an interposition graft. There was no significant difference in median survival between patients with superficial, deep or no histological vein involvement (20·8, 21·3 and 13·3 months respectively; P = 0·111). Venous tumour infiltration was not associated with decreased overall survival on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION In this study, there was no difference in morbidity between the three modes of venous reconstruction, and overall survival was similar regardless of tumour infiltration of the vein.

Abstract
In the title compound, C6H10O3S2, the O,S-diethyl carbonodithioate segment of the molecule is almost planar and is inclined to the carboxylic acid substituent by 82.31 (8)°. In the crystal, O—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...S hydrogen bonds each form inversion dimers and combine with a short O...S contact of 3.2394 (16) Å to generate a three-dimensional network of molecules stacked along all three axial directions.
