The jet fragmentation function is measured with direct photon-hadron correlations in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The p(T) of the photon is an excellent approximation to the initial p(T) of the jet and the ratio z(T)=p(T)(h)/p(T)(γ) is used as a proxy for the jet fragmentation function. A statistical subtraction is used to extract the direct photon-hadron yields in Au+Au collisions while a photon isolation cut is applied in p+p. I(AA), the ratio of hadron yield opposite the photon in Au+Au to that in p+p, indicates modification of the jet fragmentation function. Suppression, most likely due to energy loss in the medium, is seen at high z(T). The associated hadron yield at low z(T) is enhanced at large angles. Such a trend is expected from redistribution of the lost energy into increased production of low-momentum particles.

Cold Consolidation of Pharmaceutical Waste Glass Powders Through Alkali Activation and Binder Jet 3D Printing.
Materials (Basel)

Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padova, 35131 Padova, Italy.
The recent COVID-19 emergency has led to an impressive increase in the production of pharmaceutical vials. This has led to a parallel increase in the amounts of waste glass; manufacturers typically recover material from faulty containers by crushing, giving origin to an unrecyclable fraction. Coarse fragments are effectively reused as feedstock for glass melting; on the contrary, fine powders (<100 microns), contaminated by metal and ceramic particles due to the same crushing operations, are landfilled.

Article Synopsis
- - Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic brain condition that leads to uncontrolled opioid use and affects cognitive functions, mood, pain perception, and the nervous system.
- - More than 75% of individuals with OUD experience sleep deficiency, which can result from various issues like sleep disorders, circadian disruptions, and poor sleep quality.
- - The article explores the complex relationship between OUD and sleep deficiency, emphasizing potential treatment options that address both problems simultaneously.
Surface Topography Analysis of BK7 with Different Roughness Nozzles Using an Abrasive Water Jet.
Materials (Basel)
September 2024
Precision Polishing and Measuring Laboratory, Guangxi University, Nanning 530000, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how abrasive water jet (AWJ) parameters, such as jet speed, water pressure, abrasive flow rate, and standoff distance, affect the surface quality of BK7 glass.
- Findings show that a titanium alloy-coated nozzle (Nozzle A) offers better wear resistance compared to an uncoated nozzle (Nozzle B).
- The best surface quality, with minimal roughness, was achieved using a titanium alloy nozzle at a traverse speed of 7.8 mm/min and a high water pressure of 3 MPa, leading to more effective material removal and debris cleaning.
Research and application on modeling and landing point prediction technology for water jet trajectory of fire trucks under large-scale scenarios.

To let water jets land at the fire, pitch angle of the fire monitor has to be adjusted manually with successive rounds, which seriously affects the efficiency of fire extinguishing. To improve the efficiency, this paper proposes a technology for water jet trajectory modeling and landing point prediction to help with extinguishing automatically. Considering fragmentation and atomization of water jets, trajectories are analyzed and the predicted trajectory is closer to the real situation.
