The Gluon Sivers Distribution: Status and Future Prospects by Daniël Boer, Cédric Lorcé, Cristian Pisano, Jian Zhou

“…Because single transverse spin asymmetries in p↑p→πX provide only indirect information about the gluon Sivers function through the relation with the quark-gluon and tri-gluon Qiu-Sterman functions, current data from hadronic collisions at RHIC have not yet been translated into a solid constraint on the gluon Sivers function. …”

Task Effects on Sentence Comprehension in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from Sentence–Picture-Matching Tests by Maria Andreou, Konstantina Sonia Antoniou, Eleni Peristeri

“…The study had three aims: (1) to examine sentence comprehension performance across various syntactically complex structures (passives, clitic pronouns, subject, and object relative clauses) and identify comprehension asymmetries among these types; (2) to investigate task effects on syntactic comprehension accuracy by comparing performance across the two tests; and (3) to examine differences in error types across tasks. …”

Distributions of Ion Density Irregularities and Their Gradients Inside Low‐Latitude Ionospheric Plasma Bubbles Based on C/NOFS Planar Langmuir Probe Data by Emanoel Costa, Patrick A. Roddy, John O. Ballenthin

“…While the pdfs based on 1‐Hz low‐resolution data (sampling large‐scale structures) display east‐west asymmetries, those based on the original 512‐Hz high‐resolution data (sampling small‐scale structures), created by secondary plasma instabilities, are essentially symmetric around the reference 0 mm/km gradient.…”

Volumetric alterations in auditory and visual subcortical nuclei following perinatal deafness in felines by Alessandra Sacco, Stephen G. Gordon, Stephen G. Lomber

“…Using both ROI-based and morphometric approaches, the regional macrostructure of four auditory and two visual nuclei were studied, as well as the corresponding volumetric asymmetries within and across groups. In the auditory pathway, significant bilateral volumetric reductions were revealed within the lower-level structures (cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complex, and inferior colliculus), alongside a shrinkage of solely the left medial geniculate body. …”

Determination of $$\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}$$ C P -violating HZZ interaction with polarised beams at the ILC by Cheng Li, Gudrid Moortgat-Pick

“…Particularly, we can construct two $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -odd observables with the help of transversely-polarised initial beams and improve the statistical significance of $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -violation effects by combining two measurements. We defined the asymmetries between the signal regions with different signs of the $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -odd observables, and determine the $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -violation effect by comparing with the SM 95% CL upper bound. …”
