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.

Current treatment options have specific advantages and disadvantages. These treatments include hemiarthroplasty with or without glenoid reaming, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with or without eccentric reaming, TSA with bone graft or posteriorly augmented glenoid implant, and reverse TSA.

With reverse shoulder arthroplasty often reserved for the older patient (older than 60 years) with rotator cuff arthropathy, treatment of the younger patient population (younger than 60 years) without arthritis is more complex. When determining a surgical approach, the clinical presentation including history and physical examination plays a vital role in the decision tree.

Although men's negative attitudes and beliefs toward women play an important role in SV, current attitude measures are limited in that they do not focus on SV specific to drinking contexts, thereby precluding understandings of SV in this context. As such, we developed and evaluated a measure of beliefs and attitudes about men's alcohol-related sexual harassment and aggression (BAMASHA) toward women in drinking venues to better understand this ubiquitous problem.
