High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

- The COVID-19 pandemic increased the reliance on telemedicine, particularly in maternity care, leading to the BUMP trials which evaluated self-monitoring blood pressure for pregnant individuals at risk of hypertension.
- Qualitative interviews with 39 pregnant women revealed that while self-monitoring was generally seen as reassuring and empowering, it also created uncertainty and added responsibility, causing some women to opt out of the intervention.
- Ultimately, the BUMP trials did not demonstrate significant improvements in early detection or management of hypertension from blood pressure self-monitoring in pregnant women at higher risk for preeclampsia.
Apical extracellular matrices (aECMs) act as crucial barriers, and communicate with the epidermis to trigger protective responses following injury or infection. In , the skin aECM, the cuticle, is produced by the epidermis and is decorated with periodic circumferential furrows. We previously showed that mutants lacking cuticle furrows exhibit persistent immune activation (PIA).

If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cross sections at colliders. Additionally, at future colliders, these decays could offer a new way to measure the W boson mass through fully reconstructed decay products.
