A long-term record of global mean surface temperature (GMST) provides critical insight into the dynamical limits of Earth's climate and the complex feedbacks between temperature and the broader Earth system. Here, we present PhanDA, a reconstruction of GMST over the past 485 million years, generated by statistically integrating proxy data with climate model simulations. PhanDA exhibits a large range of GMST, spanning 11° to 36°C.

We report a measurement of exclusive J/ψ and ψ(2s) photoproduction in Au+Au ultraperipheral collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200  GeV using the STAR detector. For the first time, (i) the ψ(2s) photoproduction in midrapidity at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider has been experimentally measured; (ii) nuclear suppression factors are measured for both the coherent and incoherent J/ψ production. At average photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 25.

Article Synopsis
  • Large igneous province (LIP) magmatism significantly influences Earth's climate and biology, leading to major shifts in climate and ecosystems.
  • Vegetation's ability to adapt and disperse is crucial in determining the impact and duration of climate disruptions caused by LIPs, potentially aiding the recovery to a new climate equilibrium.
  • Analysis of historical climate events shows that vegetation dynamics play a key role in the Earth's long-term response to rapid carbon release and global temperature increases.

Background: Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are a commonly used antiretroviral therapy (ART) class in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and associated with weight gain. We studied the association of INSTI-based ART with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP).

Methods: We recruited 50 people taking INSTI-based ART and 40 people taking non-INSTI-based ART with HIV and hypertension from the University of Alabama at Birmingham HIV clinic.
