From loose sand to sandstone: An experimental approach on early calcite precipitation in sands of siliciclastic and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic composition.

Artificially cemented sandstones were produced to assess the impact of detrital texture and composition on the precipitation and distribution of early calcite cement, and cement-related degradation in porosity. To simulate early-calcite cementation, loose sediment of variable composition (siliciclastic and calcareous) and grain size was exposed to a calcite supersaturated solution for 35 to 58 days at 23°C. Identification and distribution of the newly precipitated crystals was performed with high resolution 2D optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Predicting Acute Median Neuropathy in Perilunate Injuries.

Purpose: Perilunate fracture dislocation (PLFD) injuries are associated with the development of acute carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The purpose of our study was to identify the factors that increase the likelihood of developing CTS in patients with PLFD. Additionally, we attempted to classify patients who did not initially undergo carpal tunnel release (CTR) at the time of injury but eventually underwent CTR within the follow-up period.

Measurements of jet multiplicity and jet transverse momentum in multijet events in proton-proton collisions at .

Multijet events at large transverse momentum () are measured at using data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The multiplicity of jets with that are produced in association with a high- dijet system is measured in various ranges of the of the jet with the highest transverse momentum and as a function of the azimuthal angle difference between the two highest jets in the dijet system. The differential production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momenta of the four highest jets.

Azimuthal Correlations within Exclusive Dijets with Large Momentum Transfer in Photon-Lead Collisions.

The structure of nucleons is multidimensional and depends on the transverse momenta, spatial geometry, and polarization of the constituent partons. Such a structure can be studied using high-energy photons produced in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions. The first measurement of the azimuthal angular correlations of exclusively produced events with two jets in photon-lead interactions at large momentum transfer is presented, a process that is considered to be sensitive to the underlying nuclear gluon polarization.

Azimuthal correlations in Z +jets events in proton-proton collisions at .

The production of Z bosons associated with jets is measured in collisions at with data recorded with the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3. The multiplicity of jets with transverse momentum is measured for different regions of the Z boson's , from lower than 10 to higher than 100.
