Background • Therapies for rare diseases have ignited industry-wide debates concerning patient access, pricing and efficacy. Urea cycle disorders (UCD), a genetic rare disease, is a target for enzyme replacement therapies, yet UCD epidemiology data are scarce. For payers and pharmaceutical companies to accurately forecast patient cost of care, accurate patient population estimates are a necessi...

We present initial results from a survey of the Orion A and B molecular clouds made with the InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. This survey encompasses a total of 5.6 square degrees with the sensitivity to detect objects below the hydrogen burning limit at an age of 1 Myr. These observations cover a number of known star forming regions, from the massive star formi...

We re-examine the nature of NGC 2024 IRS2 in light of the recent discovery of the late O-type star, IRS2b, located 5′′ from IRS2. Using L-band spectroscopy, we set a lower limit of AV = 27.0 mag on the visual extinction towards IRS2. Arguments based on the nature of the circumstellar material, favor an AV of 31.5 mag. IRS2 is associated with the UCH region G206.543–16.347 and the infrared sou...

Fatigue failure characteristics of friction stir welds in 13mm gauge 2024-T351 plate have been assessed. Failure occurred from either the weld region (nugget/flow arm) or from the material immediately surrounding the weld. Fatigue failure from the surrounding material was essentially conventional, initiating from large S-phase intermetallic particles and growing in a macroscopic mode I manner. ...
