The yield of charged particles opposite to a Z boson with large transverse momentum (p_{T}) is measured in 260  pb^{-1} of pp and 1.7  nb^{-1} of Pb+Pb collision data at 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The Z boson tag is used to select hard-scattered partons with specific kinematics, and to observe how their showers are modified as they propagate through the quark-gluon plasma created in Pb+Pb collisions. Compared with pp collisions, charged-particle yields in Pb+Pb collisions show significant modifications as a function of charged-particle p_{T} in a way that depends on event centrality and Z boson p_{T}. The data are compared with a variety of theoretical calculations and provide new information about the medium-induced energy loss of partons in a p_{T} regime difficult to measure through other channels.

Paleogeographic reconstructions are of key importance for understanding the history of continental breakups and amalgamations during Earth's history. A special case is the history of the Asian continent, which, compared to other continents, consists of several large cratons and numerous smaller continental blocks. The history of the assembly of South China remains controversial in terms of the timing, Late Neoproterozoic or Early Paleozoic, and the participating continental blocks, e.

The magmatic complex along the Marsa Alam-Idfu transect, Central-Eastern Desert of Egypt, represents the northern segment of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS), which developed within the framework of the East African Orogen. The basement rocks of the Arabian-Nubian Shield have been developed through three distinct phases of magmatic activity: the island-arc, the syn-orogenic, and the post-orogenic phases. Transitioning of the magmatic phases from the syn-orogenic to the post-orogenic, identifies changing the tectonic regime from a compressional to an extensional setting.

Article Synopsis
  • Wind energy is important for fighting climate change, but bird collisions with wind turbines can harm bird populations.
  • A study using GPS data from 275 raptors in Europe aimed to understand how turbine height and rotor size affect these collision risks.
  • Results showed that increasing turbine height decreased collision risk for most birds but increased it for the Short-toed Eagle, while larger rotor diameters increased risks across species, highlighting the need to tailor turbine designs based on local bird populations.

Article Synopsis
  • The internal complexity of zircon crystals complicates dating geological events, necessitating a new four-step pre-examination method for accurate U-Pb age determination.
  • This method includes assessing zircon morphology, internal texture, mineral inclusions, and structural/chemical characterization.
  • The study showcases this approach on zircon samples from southern Hungary and northern Austria, revealing distinct primary and secondary textures that provide crucial insights into the timing of magmatic events and the need to clarify overlapping geological processes.

Article Synopsis
  • Contact and collision athletes are at a higher risk for shoulder instability after surgery, with the Latarjet procedure being commonly used to address these issues, despite concerns about complications and the potential for additional surgeries.
  • This study evaluated the success of a modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using suture buttons, showing that 98% of patients achieved shoulder stability, and 82% were able to return to their sports.
  • The study involved 136 athletes with a follow-up of around 60 months, revealing a high satisfaction rate and no significant complications related to the surgical technique used.
