This Letter reports a search for charge-parity (CP) symmetry violating nonstandard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter using the NOvA Experiment, and examines their effects on the determination of the standard oscillation parameters. Data from ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ}) and ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{e}(ν[over ¯]_{e}) oscillation channels are used to measure the effect of the NSI parameters ϵ_{eμ} and ϵ_{eτ}. With 90% CL the magnitudes of the NSI couplings are constrained to be |ϵ_{eμ}|≲0.

- Amphibians are a diverse group of tetrapods facing significant threats, with about 41% of species at risk of extinction due to various factors like habitat loss and climate change.
- Genomic research on amphibians is critical for understanding their biology, including unique traits like tissue regeneration and adaptation, yet it has lagged behind other vertebrates due to technical challenges.
- The newly formed Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC) aims to enhance global collaboration and accelerate genomic research in amphibians, with over 282 members from 41 countries already involved.
The 25th Annual Western Canadian Gastrointestinal Cancer Consensus Conference (WCGCCC) was held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on 26-27 October 2023. The WCGCCC is an interactive multidisciplinary conference that was attended by healthcare professionals from across Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba) who are involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists; pathologists; oncology nurses; pharmacists; and a family physician in oncology (FPO) participated in presentation and discussion sessions for the purpose of developing the recommendations presented here.

- Dendritic cells (DC) are essential immune cells that connect the body's innate and adaptive immune responses, with two main types: plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and conventional DC (cDC).
- Research using in vivo deuterium-glucose labeling revealed that a specific subset of cDC known as AXL+ Siglec6+ DC (ASDC) circulates in the bloodstream for about 2.16 days, while other cDC types have slightly shorter lifespans.
- The study also showed that ASDC are quickly recruited to inflamed areas, highlighting their role in managing immune responses during inflammation and suggesting new insights into the behavior of different DC subsets.
Fractal formation in spin-coated thin-film polymers is of experimental and theoretical interest. Modeling the determinants and dynamics of this process will deepen our understanding of polymer aggregation and the predictability of thin-film structures. This is especially true if the model used has readily interpretable parameters and has been demonstrated to yield a close match to experimental processes under a variety of conditions.
