Elliptic flow and two-particle azimuthal correlations of charged hadrons and high-p(T) pions (p(T)>1 GeV/c) have been measured close to midrapidity in 158A GeV/c Pb+Au collisions by the CERES experiment. Elliptic flow (v(2)) rises linearly with p(T) to a value of about 10% at 2 GeV/c. Beyond p(T) approximately 1.5 GeV/c, the slope decreases considerably, possibly indicating a saturation of v(2) at high p(T). Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies for p(T)>1.2 GeV/c exceed the elliptic flow values by about 60% in midcentral collisions. These nonflow contributions are attributed to nearside and back-to-back jetlike correlations, the latter exhibiting centrality dependent broadening.

The carotid and vertebral arteries are principal conduits for cerebral blood supply and are common sites for atherosclerotic plaque formation. To date, there has been extensive clinical and hemodynamic reporting on carotid arteries; however, studies focusing on the hemodynamic characteristics of the vertebral artery (VA) are notably scarce. This article presents a systematic analysis of the impact of VA diameter and the angle of divergence from the subclavian artery (SA) on hemodynamic properties, facilitated by the construction of an idealized VA geometric model.

In response to the ongoing quest for more efficient renewable energy sources, this research addresses a significant gap in understanding the performance variations of Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) models, particularly focusing on the influence of flow parameters in full and half-inclined collector sections featuring semi-elliptical curvature. The motivation stems from the need to optimize SCPP designs for enhanced energy generation while minimizing resource utilization and environmental impact. This research focuses on investigating flow parameter variations in Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) models with full and half-inclined collector sections featuring semi-elliptical curvature and variable semi-minor heights (b: 0.

Investigating magnetic blood flow characteristics through arteries and micron-size channels for clinical therapies in biomedicine is becoming increasingly important with the rise of point-of-care diagnostics devices. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation is conducted to explore blood flow within a coronary artery affected by an elliptical stenosis near the artery wall under the influence of a magnetic field. The novelty of our study is the integration of Navier-Stokes and Maxwell's equations to calculate body forces on fluid flow, coupled with the application of magnetic fields both longitudinally and vertically, and the use of the Carreau-Yasuda model to analyse non-Newtonian blood rheology.

Article Synopsis
- The shape phase transition in nuclear physics, particularly for isotopes like xenon (Xe), involves a change in structure from a γ-soft rotor to a spherical vibrator, especially around the isotopes ^{128-130}Xe.
- In this study, researchers explore the γ-soft deformation of the isotope ^{129}Xe during ultrarelativistic collisions, using a model called iEBE-VISHNU to analyze how elliptic flow and transverse momentum relate to this deformation.
- The authors introduce new correlators that can effectively differentiate between γ-soft and rigid triaxial deformations of ^{129}Xe during collisions, furthering the understanding of shape phase transitions in finite nuclei.
