International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) code(s) for neuroblastoma do not exist, preventing identification of these patients in administrative databases. To overcome this challenge, a three-step algorithm, using ICD-9 codes, exclusion criteria, and manual review of chemotherapy billing data, was utilized to assemble a high-risk neuroblastoma cohort (n = 952) from the Pedia...

(pp. 132,?952) (1933) quoted in The Social Function of Science. Professor Bernal has done great service, both in exposing the falsity of this point of view, and in demonstrating the interaction of scientific and social phenomena. As he rightly points out, it has always been disastrous when there is a division between theory and practice. While it is difficult to emphasise all the important crit...

The plane wave stability properties of the conservative schemes of Besse [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 42 (2004) 934–952] and Fei et al. [Appl. Math. Comput. 71 (1995) 165–177] for the cubic Schrödinger equation are analysed. Although the two methods possess many of the same conservation properties, we show that their stability behaviour is very different. An energy preserving generalisation of the Fei...
