Random Statistical Analysis of Transverse Momentum Spectra of Strange Particles and Dependence of Related Parameters on Centrality in High Energy Collisions at the LHC by Xu-Hong Zhang, Fu-Hu Liu, Khusniddin K. Olimov, Airton Deppman

“…Taking into account the contribution of multiquark composition, whose probability density distribution is described by the modified Tsallis–Pareto-type function; we simulate the pT spectra of the final-state strange particles by a Monte Carlo method, which is shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data in most the cases. The kinetic freeze-out parameters are obtained. The present method provides a new tool for studying the spectra of various particles produced in high energy collisions, reflecting more realistically the collision process, which is of great significance to study the formation and properties of the produced particles.…”

Investigating the system size dependence of hypernuclei production with A < 5 using the ALICE detector by Wang Yuanzhe

“…In contrast, the yields predicted with the Statistical Hadronitazion Models (SHM) are based on the mass of the (hyper)nuclei and the freeze-out temperature, with no explicit dependence on the nuclear structure. …”

Improving the Long-Term Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastic Short Natural Fiber Compounds by Using Alternative Matrices by Renato Lemos Cosse, Tobias van der Most, Vincent S. D. Voet, Rudy Folkersma, Katja Loos

“…Tests were conducted on tensile and flexural strength and modulus, heat deflection temperature (HDT), and creep analysis under varying relative humidity conditions (10% and 90%) and water immersion, followed by freeze—thaw cycles. The addition of fibers generally improved the mechanical properties but increased water absorption. …”

Flow-based In Vivo Method to Enumerate Translating Ribosomes and Translation Elongation Rate by Mina Seedhom, Devin Dersh, Jonathan Yewdell

“…Here, we detail protocols based on ribosome-mediated nascent chain puromycylation, harringtonine to stall initiating ribosomes while allowing ribosome elongation to continue normally, and cycloheximide to freeze translating ribosomes in place. Each compound is delivered intravenously to mice in the appropriate order, and after ex vivo cell fixation and permeabilization, translating ribosome numbers and transit rates are measured by flow cytometry using a directly conjugated puromycin-specific antibody.…”
