Shape coexistence, evolution and the parallel proton-neutron core breaking in 15568Er87 studied with the help of the BaF2 4π-detection system

A discrete γ-ray study of 155Er has been performed. A level scheme up to spin 85/2 has been established and interpreted using the deformed Woods-Saxon cranking approximation, taking into account pairing forces. Interpretation in terms of shape coexistence, band termination and breaking of the (Z=64, N=82) core is proposed

Rise and Fall of the Spin Alignment in Deep-Inelastic Reactions

Both the magnitude and alignment of the transferred angular momentum in the reaction {sup 165}Ho + {sup 165}Ho have been measured as a function of Q value via continuum {gamma}-ray multiplicity and anisotropy techniques. Two regimes are observed: A low-Q-value regime where the aligned angular momentum component dominates over the random components, and a large-Q-value regime where the random components dominate and decrease the spin alignment

Utilisation du fondaparinux 2,5mg pour la prévention des évènements thromboemboliques veineux en médecine générale. ArchiMed Ville

International audienceOBJECTIVE:To evaluate the mean duration of treatment course with fondaparinux 2.5 mg (ARIXTRA(®)) in the setting of ambulatory general medicine, with respect to its indication in thromboprophylaxis for medically ill patients and to describe the population treated.METHODS:Observational, prospective, national, multicenter, pharmaco-epidemiological study, performed in France, at the request of the Transparency Commission (a division of the French Health Regulatory Authority). The general practitioners had to include the first three adult patients, considered as patients at high risk of venous thromboembolic events and immobilized for acute medical illness, treated with initiation of thromboprophylaxis by fondaparinux 2.5 mg.RESULTS:Two hundred and seventeen general practitioners included 840 patients. The mean age of patients was 63.6±18.1 years, and 63% of patients (n=520/831) were females. The real total administration duration of the treatment by fondaparinux 2.5 mg was known for 797 patients and was 15.8±12.4 days on average (range: 1-90 days, median: 10 days). In 40% of patients, the duration ranged from 6 to 14 days [duration consistent with the summary of product characteristics (SmPC)]. Among the 834 patients analyzed, 569 (68%) suffered from at least one acute illness and had at least one risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The indication did fully comply with the summary of product characteristics of fondaparinux 2.5 mg in 52% of the patients (n=434/834 patients).CONCLUSION:The results of the ArchiMed study support that the thromboprophylaxis treatment with fondaparinux 2.5 mg in ambulatory general medicine, and the associated medical conditions were usually consistent with the SmPC or guidelines. However, a difference was found for the duration and the initial indication, in situations that may be regarded as presenting a risk by the prescriber

Coexisting oblate and strongly triaxial structures in 191^{191}Pt

Excited states in $^{191}$Pt have been populated using the reaction $^{186}$W + $^{11}$B at 85MeV beam energy. Gamma-ray coincidences were measured using the EUROGAM-II spectrometer array. The level scheme has been extended considerably. Evidence for favoured structures of highly triaxial shape with $\gamma \sim$ -90° coexisting with oblate structures has been obtained by comparison with total Routhian surface and cranked shell model calculations. The presence of proton excitations in both positive- and negative-parity states has been confirmed

Evolution of odd A transitional iridium nuclei at the strong deformation limit: levels of 185ˆ\^{185}Ir

A level scheme is proposed for neutron deficient /sup 185/Ir obtained by the decay of /sup 185/Pt produced with the ISOLDE on-line separator (CERN). This level scheme is compared to those of heavier mass iridium nuclei where the negative parity levels had been interpreted in the asymmetric-rotor-plus-particle model. In /sup 185/Ir similar systems of levels appear with a stronger prolate deformation of the nucleus. They seem correctly described by coupling an odd-particle (or a hole) to a symmetric rotor
