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.

It represents a major public health concern due to its ability to cause severe illness which can sometimes be fatal. This study was undertaken as part of a rapid investigation into a national foodborne outbreak of STEC O145.

- Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are increasingly hiring Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) to provide care to underserved populations, but information on their roles is limited.
- A survey found that 233 DCs are employed in 146 out of 1,537 FQHCs across 28 states, with most spending about 88% of their time on clinical care.
- The study also revealed inconsistencies in credentialing and compensation for DCs, highlighting a need for more research on their roles and the challenges in integrating chiropractic services in healthcare settings.
