A New Description of Transverse Momentum Spectra of Identified Particles Produced in Proton-Proton Collisions at High Energies by Pei-Pin Yang, Fu-Hu Liu, Raghunath Sahoo

“…Each participant (constituent) quark contributes to the transverse momentum spectrum, which is described by the TP-like function, a revised Tsallis–Pareto-type function. The transverse momentum spectrum of the hadron is the convolution of two or more TP-like functions. …”

Treatment of endothelial cell dysfunction in atherosclerosis: a new perspective integrating traditional and modern approaches by Luqun Yang, Xinjian Li, Lin Ni, Yuanyuan Lin

“…Comprising a vital part of the vascular endothelium, endothelial cells play a crucial role in maintaining vascular homeostasis, optimizing redox balance, and regulating inflammatory responses. More evidence shows that ECD not only serves as an early harbinger of AS but also exhibits a strong association with disease progression. …”

'Just because' Constructions in Spoken and Written New Zealand English by Andreea Calude, Gerald Delahunty

“…Another (Hilpert 2005: 97), using a diachronic corpus, proposes that JB has been grammaticalized as a concessive marker via "the discourse function of inference denial." Our study, based on a corpus of New Zealand written and spoken English, demonstrates, amongst other significant findings, that JB occurs in a far broader set of grammatical contexts than the earlier literature recognizes, that JB constructions are significantly more frequent in spoken than in written English, that JB adverbial clauses are more likely to occur in pre-posed than in post-posed position, that the meaning of just because affects this distribution, that just because is far more likely to be followed by a clause than a prepositional phrase, and that JB constructions are extremely likely to occur in the discourse context of a negator.…”
