- The ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) Inner Detector provides charged particle tracking in the centre of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Inner Detector consists of three subdetectors: the Pixel Detector, the Semiconductor Tracker (SCT), and the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT). This paper summarizes the tests that were carried out at the final stage of SCT+TRT integration prior to their installation in ATLAS. The combined operation and performance of the SCT and TRT barrel and endcap detectors was investigated through a series of noise tests, and by recording the tracks of cosmic rays. This was a crucial test of hardware and software of the combined tracker detector systems. The results of noise and cross-talk tests on the SCT and TRT in their final assembled configuration, using final readout and supply hardware and software, are reported. The reconstruction and analysis of the recorded cosmic tracks allowed testing of the offline analysis chain and verification of basic tracker performance parameters, such as efficiency and spatial resolution, in combined operation before installation.

- For the Phase-II Upgrade of the ATLAS Detector [1], its Inner Detector, consisting of silicon pixel, silicon strip and transition radiation sub-detectors, will be replaced with an all new 100% silicon tracker, composed of a pixel tracker at inner radii and a strip tracker at outer radii. The future ATLAS strip tracker will include 11,000 silicon sensor modules in the central region (barrel) and 7,000 modules in the forward region (end-caps), which are foreseen to be constructed over a period of 3.5 years. The construction of each module consists of a series of assembly and quality control steps, which were engineered to be identical for all production sites. In order to develop the tooling and procedures for assembly and testing of these modules, two series of major prototyping programs were conducted: an early program using readout chips designed using a 250 nm fabrication process (ABCN-250) [2, 3] and a subsequent program using a follow-up chip set made using 130 nm processing (ABC130 and HCC130 chips). This second generation of readout chips was used for an extensive prototyping program that produced around 100 barrel-type modules and contributed significantly to the development of the final module layout. This paper gives an overview of the components used in ABC130 barrel modules, their assembly procedure and findings resulting from their tests.

- In patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT), peripheral blood progenitor cells may be collected following mobilization with growth factor alone (GF) or cytotoxic chemotherapy plus GF (CC+GF). It is uncertain whether the method of mobilization affects post-transplant outcomes. We compared these mobilization strategies in a retrospective analysis of 968 patients with MM from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database who received an auto-Ha in the US and Canada between 2007 and 2012. The kinetics of neutrophil engraftment (>= 0.5 x 10(9)/L) was similar between groups (13 vs 13 days, P=0.69) while platelet engraftment (>= 20 x 10(9)/L) was slightly faster with CC+GF (19 vs 18 days, P=0.006). Adjusted 3-year PFS was 43% (95% confidence interval (CI) 38-48) in GF and 40% (95% CI 35-45) in CC+GF, P=0.33. Adjusted 3-year OS was 82% (95% CI 78-86) vs 80% (95% CI 75-84), P=0.43 and adjusted 5-year OS was 62% (95% CI 54-68) vs 60% (95% CI 52-67), P=0.76, for GF and CC+GF, respectively. We conclude that MM patients undergoing auto-Ha have similar outcomes irrespective of the method of mobilization and found no evidence that the addition of chemotherapy to mobilization contributes to disease control.

- The identification and annotation of protein-coding genes is one of the primary goals of whole-genome sequencing projects, and the accuracy of predicting the primary protein products of gene expression is vital to the interpretation of the available data and the design of downstream functional applications. Nevertheless, the comprehensive annotation of eukaryotic genomes remains a considerable challenge. Many genomes submitted to public databases, including those of major model organisms, contain significant numbers of wrong and incomplete gene predictions. We present a community-based reannotation of the Aspergillus nidulans genome with the primary goal of increasing the number and quality of protein functional assignments through the careful review of experts in the field of fungal biology.

Geochronological constraints on the Hartbees River Thrust and Augrabies Nappe: New insights into the assembly of the Mesoproterozoic Namaqua-Natal Province of Southern Africa

- The region around Augrabies in the Namaqua sector provides insights into the processes that formed the Namaqua-Natal tectonic Province. Progressive ductile shear deformation during the long lasting Namaqua Orogeny was coeval with the global Grenvillian Orogeny. The Mesoproterozoic Namaqua-Natal Province is composed of severely deformed and metamorphosed rocks in terranes bounded by major thrust and shear zones. The interpreted research results deal with events around the Hartbees River Thrust, a suture zone where the granulite grade Grunau (Kakamas) terrane was overthrust onto the amphibolite grade Bladgrond (Bushmanland) terrane. The series of distinct deformation stages D-1-D-6 that have been identified during previous research in the western regions of the Namaqua sector, is also discernible in the study region around Augrabies. Microbeam geochronological techniques were used to date zircons from four samples of a granitic rock (the Karama'am Augen Gneiss) intrusive into the Hartbees River Thrust zone, and of a sample of granite (the Augrabies Granite) from the core of a large allochthonous sheath fold nappe in the Grunau terrane. The mean crystallisation age of the Karama'am intrusive is 1108 +/- 4 Ma and of the Augrabies Granite 1168 +/- 6 Ma. The sheath fold core of the latter granite is enclosed in the sheetlike Rooipad Granite (Riemvasmaak Granite) previously determined to be 1155 +/- 7 Ma. Crustal residence times deduced from Lu-Hf isotopic compositions of zircon cores and xenocrysts, cluster around 1710 Ma for the Augrabies Granite and about 200 Ma older for the Karama'am Granite Gneiss (with the oldest date at 2069 Ma). Collectively the available data enable reconstruction of the sequence of Namaqua Orogeny deformation stages: terrane assembly (D-1) at similar to 1195 Ma with metamorphism at 1191 +/- 12 Ma, pervasive folding and thrusting (D-2) at 1168 +/- 6 Ma, formation of major sheath and coaxial folds (D-3) at 1155 +/- 7 Ma, late open folds (D-4) at 1090 +/- 16 and a late metamorphism (coeval with major shear zones D-5-D-6?) at 1018 +/- 11 to 1024 +/- 14 Ma.
