The momentum distribution of electrons from decays of heavy flavor (charm and bottom) for midrapidity absolute value of y < 0.35 in p + p collisions at square root of s = 200 GeV has been measured by the PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider over the transverse momentum range 0.3 < pT < 9 GeV/c. Two independent methods have been used to determine the heavy-flavor yields, and the results are in good agreement with each other. A fixed-order-plus-next-to-leading-log perturbative QCD calculation agrees with the data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties, with the data/theory ratio of 1.71+/-0.02stat+/-0.18sys for 0.3 < pT < 9 GeV/c. The total charm production cross section at this energy has also been deduced to be sigma cc = 567+/-57stat+/-193sys microb.

Cyclic peptides have higher stability and better properties as therapeutic agents than their linear peptide analogues. Consequently, intramolecular click chemistry is becoming an increasingly popular method for the synthesis of cyclic peptides from their isomeric linear peptides. However, assessing the purity of these cyclic peptides by mass spectrometry is a significant challenge, as the linear and cyclic peptides have identical masses.

Objective: The goal of this study was to describe lacerations of the head and neck sustained among ice hockey players in the US.
Methods: Data on adult (20-65 years) ice hockey injuries were collected from the 2003-2022 National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database. Injuries of the head, neck, face, mouth, and ears were included, while those sustained as a spectator, coach, or on a non-ice surface were excluded.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Nalgonda, Telangana, India.
Objective: The prevalent reliance on 2-wheelers as a preferred mode of private transportation in rural and semi-urban regions and the various associated social and material factors put riders at significant risk for road traffic accidents causing maxillofacial trauma. This epidemiological study aims to investigate these factors and their influence on patterns of maxillofacial injuries among 2-wheeler riders in semi-urban and rural areas of South India.
Methods: Data from all cases with maxillofacial injuries over 6 years were collected retrospectively, including demographic characteristics, accident specifics, helmet use, injury patterns, and management.
Self-adaptive rail edge detection for trams based on mathematical morphology.

With the growing number of tram operation lines, tram-related traffic incidents, particularly train collisions, have become a major issue. Therefore, the ability to identify foreign objects on a track is critical to tram operational safety. Accurately identifying the rail edge is a critical technology for recognizing the track area and providing early warnings of potential threats.
