Search for a Neutral Gauge Boson with Nonuniversal Fermion Couplings in Vector Boson Fusion Processes in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV.

The first search for a heavy neutral spin-1 gauge boson (Z^{'}) with nonuniversal fermion couplings produced via vector boson fusion processes and decaying to tau leptons or W bosons is presented. The analysis is performed using LHC data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected from 2016 to 2018 with the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The data are consistent with the standard model predictions.

Depot-Specific Roles for C/EBPα in White Adipose Tissue Development and Metabolism.

Rates of obesity and its associated metabolic comorbidities continue to rise in the developed world. It is well established that in obesity, the distribution and not just amount of excess white adipose tissue (WAT) correlates with a person's risk for comorbidities such as coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes. Thus, understanding the specific mechanisms that drive WAT development in specific adipose depots could elucidate novel mechanisms of metabolic disease.

Optimization of a Monopolar Electrode Configuration for Hybrid Electrochemical Treatment of Real Washing Machine Wastewater.

This study focuses on the design and optimization of a monopolar electrode configuration for the hybrid electrochemical treatment of real washing machine wastewater. A combined electrocoagulation (EC) and electro-oxidation (EO) system was optimized to maximize pollutant removal efficiency while minimizing energy consumption. The monopolar setup employed mixed metal oxide (MMO) and aluminum anodes, along with a stainless steel cathode, operating under controlled conditions with sodium chloride as the supporting electrolyte.

Prospective multicenter real-world outcomes of Suction Technology Utility in Mini-PCNL Study (STUMPS) in modern-day practice: formulation of the global STUMPS registry on behalf of the endourology section of the European Association of Urology and the suction mini-PCNL collaborative study group.

Purpose: To present outcomes of a registry to understand the practice patterns, resource utilization, and nuances of suction mini-percutaneous nephron lithotripsy (SM-PCNL).

Methods: Data from 30 centers in 21 countries were prospectively collected (March-November 2024). SM-PCNL was defined as PCNL using a suction nephrostomy sheath of size 14-22 Fr.

Reweighting simulated events using machine-learning techniques in the CMS experiment.

Data analyses in particle physics rely on an accurate simulation of particle collisions and a detailed simulation of detector effects to extract physics knowledge from the recorded data. Event generators together with a geant-based simulation of the detectors are used to produce large samples of simulated events for analysis by the LHC experiments. These simulations come at a high computational cost, where the detector simulation and reconstruction algorithms have the largest CPU demands.
