Nuclear modification factor within a dynamical approach to the complex entropic index
This work introduces a novel approach to the nuclear deformation factor $R_{AA}$, grounded in the dynamical effects of the Quark-Gluon Plasma on parton momentum. The approach uses the Blast-Wave method combined with Tsallis Statistics, within the Copper-Frye freeze-out framework and, by profiting from appropriate simplifications, it gives analytical expressions that describe the observed $R_{AA}$ for two sets of independent measurements at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV. A nonlinea…

Since January, the NWS—a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—has reduced its workforce by nearly 600 people as a direct result of staffing cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, as part of Trump’s mission to eviscerate numerous federal agencies.
This policy is in line with Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-led blueprint for a far-right overhaul of the federal government that calls for “dismantling” NOAA. Trump has also cal…

An opportunity to fulfill this expectation was provided by the recent blast triggered by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory of …

AMRScan: A hybrid R and Nextflow toolkit for rapid antimicrobial resistance gene detection from sequencing data
AMRScan is a hybrid bioinformatics toolkit implemented in both R and [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io/) for the rapid and reproducible detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The toolkit enables users to identify AMR gene hits in sequencing reads by aligning them against reference databases such as CARD using BLAST. The R implementation provides a concise, script-based approach suitable for single-sample analysis, teaching, and rapid pro…

Improving precision of A/B experiments using trigger intensity
In industry, online randomized controlled experiment (a.k.a. A/B experiment) is a standard approach to measure the impact of a causal change. These experiments have small treatment effect to reduce the potential blast radius. As a result, these experiments often lack statistical significance due to low signal-to-noise ratio. A standard approach for improving the precision (or reducing the standard error) focuses only on the trigger observations, where the output of the treatment and the control…

Nonequilibrium Phenomenology of Identified Particle Spectra in Heavy-Ion Collisions at LHC Energies
We employ the Zubarev approach of the non-equilibrium statistical operator to investigate the enhancement of the low-$p_T$ region of pion spectra, introducing an effective pion chemical potential to describe the overpopulation of low-energy pion states. We test a corresponding freeze-out approach by analyzing the transverse-momentum spectra of identified particles measured recently with high precision by the ALICE Collaboration in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN LHC.

Radical scaling: beyond our feet and fingers
Scaling laws arise and are eulogized across disciplines from natural to social sciences for providing pithy, quantitative, `scale-free', and `universal' power law relationships between two variables. On a log-log plot, the power laws display as straight lines, with a slope set by the exponent of the scaling law. In practice, a scaling relationship works only for a limited range, bookended by crossovers to other scaling laws. Leading with Taylor's oft-cited scaling law for the blast radius of an…

Laser-driven ion acceleration in long-lived optically shaped gaseous targets enhanced by magnetic vortices
This research demonstrates high-repetition-rate laser-accelerated ion beams via dual, intersecting, counterpropagating laser-driven blast waves to precisely shape underdense gas into long-lived near-critical density targets. The collision of the shock fronts compresses the gas and forms steep density gradients with scale lengths of a few tens of microns. The compressed target persists for several nanoseconds, eliminating laser synchronization constraints. Measurements of multi-MeV ion energy sp…

Resupplying planetary debris to old white dwarfs with supernova blast waves
One challenge with explaining how high levels of planetary debris can enrich, or "pollute", old ($\sim$3 Gyr) and very old ($\sim$10 Gyr) white dwarfs is that debris reservoirs deplete on shorter timescales, akin to the solar system's already eviscerated Main Belt and Kuiper Belt. Here, I explore how these extrasolar reservoirs can be resupplied through supernovae that propel distant ($\gtrsim 10^4$ au) dust, sand and pebbles, and potentially boulders and comets, into the inner ($\lesssim 10^2$…

Study of $p_\mathrm{T}$-differential radial flow in blast-wave model
The transverse momentum-differential radial flow observable $v_0(p_\mathrm{T})$, recently proposed and measured by the ATLAS and ALICE collaborations, provides a novel tool to probe radial expansion dynamics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In this work, we conduct a detailed study of $v_0(p_\mathrm{T})$ using a blast-wave model that incorporates hydrodynamic-like expansion and thermal emission. We introduce event-by-event fluctuations in the transverse expansion velocity and kinetic freeze…
