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.

Unlabelled: Seed germination is a tightly regulated, non-reversible developmental process, and it is crucial to prevent premature germination under conditions that may not allow the plant's life cycle to be completed. The plant hormone ABA is the key regulator of seed dormancy and inhibition of germination. ABA is also involved in the plant response to drought.

In this focus group study of 11 women younger than 45 years of age treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY, USA) between March 2020 and April 2021, patients were asked about their preferences for types of resources, and timing and method of information delivery. Patients expressed interest in personalized medicine, access to integrative health and a holistic approach to treatment, and early consultation for fertility preservation. Their narratives elaborated on how age at diagnosis influences interpersonal relationships and quality of life, and provides direction for interventions to better counsel and support this population.

Background: Surgeons disagree about whether patients should undertake home physical therapy (HPT) or formal physical therapy (FPT) after undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). Recent studies suggest that HPT is as effective as FPT, but surgeons who perform rTSA may believe that FPT continues to have a role. Our primary purpose was to describe the opinions and self-reported practices of surgeons who perform rTSA regarding prescribing physical therapy (PT) after surgery.

A search for the exclusive hadronic decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ, and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ is performed using up to 140  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV. If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cross sections at colliders. Additionally, at future colliders, these decays could offer a new way to measure the W boson mass through fully reconstructed decay products.
