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 NADPH/NADP redox couple is central to metabolism and redox signalling. NADP redox state is differentially regulated by distinct enzymatic machineries at the subcellular compartment level. Nonetheless, a detailed understanding of subcellular NADP redox dynamics is limited by the availability of appropriate tools.

This article is a practical resource for leadership educators who facilitate training experiences. Written as an invitation to tactically strategize and tangibly plan for your next training, the seven strategies have been proven to transform boring, lecture-style, information dump, and slide deck trainings into high-engagement, high-enjoyment, and most importantly, high-impact trainings. The result, when using these seven strategies consistently, is the potential for a total transformation in the leadership learning and development of your students.

While many student leadership educators facilitate trainings, research has shown most never actually learn how to design and deliver impactful experiences. This article provides a proven framework for consistently designing and delivering high-impact, high-engagement, and high-enjoyment trainings that leverage experiential learning and reflective dialogue. The "Training Story" method is based on the dramatic structure introduced by German playwright Gustav Freytag (1895).
