Calculation shows why heavy quarks get caught up in the flow

Researchers have calculated the heavy quark diffusion coefficient, which describes how quickly quarks and gluons transfer their momentum to heavier quarks. The calculation reveals that heavy quarks are strongly interacting with the surrounding plasma, making it difficult for them to change direction.

The ADC does not reflect cytotoxic edema on the uninjured side after TBI

Researchers found that ADC values accurately reflect changes on the injured side but not on the uninjured side, indicating a delay in pathological changes. This study suggests that ADC measurements may not be reliable for detecting cytotoxic edema on the unaffected brain tissue after traumatic brain injury.
