Polarization of thermal dilepton radiation by Florian Seck, Bengt Friman, Tetyana Galatyuk, Hendrik van Hees, Ralf Rapp, Enrico Speranza, Jochen Wambach

“…While the low- and high-mass regions exhibit the expected limits of transverse and unpolarized photons, respectively, baryon-driven medium effects in the ρ-meson mass region create a marked longitudinal polarization that transits into a largely unpolarized emission from the quark-gluon plasma, thus providing a sensitive test of microscopic emission processes in QCD matter. Applications to available data from the HADES and NA60 experiments at SIS and SPS energies, respectively, are consistent with our predictions and set the stage for quantitative polarization studies at FAIR and collider energies.…”

Effect of cast part size on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a bainitic High-Carbon and High-Silicon Cast Steel by N. E. Tenaglia, D. O. Fernandino, A. D. Basso

“…The microsegregation, a common occurrence in cast parts, leads to different bainitic transformation rates at the microscopic scale. Specifically, interdendritic areas with higher alloying contents exhibit a slower transformation, resulting in a lower degree of transformation and a higher amount of blocky austenite. …”

Irritable bowel syndrome: pathophysiological and clinical issues by V. T. Ivashkin, Ye. A. Poluektova

“…The long-term analysis of IBS symptoms has not led to development of clear diagnostic criteria due to both objective causes (frequent, up to 87% combination of various functional disorders) and due to possible identity of complaints in patients to IBS, clostridial infection, microscopic colitis, celiac sprue. Lack of scrutiny of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation determines low treatment efficacy of such patients.Conclusion. …”
