Observational signatures of sub-photospheric radiation mediated shocks in the prompt phase of GRBs [PDF]
A shock that form below the photosphere of a GRB outflow is mediated by Compton scattering of radiation advected into the shock by the upstream fluid. The characteristic scale of such a shock, a few Thomson depths, is larger than any kinetic scale involved by several orders of magnitudes, hence, unlike collisionless shocks, radiation mediated shocks ...

Viscosity, shock-induced separation, and shock reversal -- Oscillating wing section in transonic flow [PDF]
We numerically examine the mechanisms that describe the shock-boundary layer interactions in transonic flow past an oscillating wing section. At moderate and high angles of incidence but low amplitudes of oscillation, shock induced flow separation or shock-stall is observed accompanied by shock reversal.

Tracing shock type with chemical diagnostics: an application to L1157 [PDF]
Aims: The physical structure of a shock wave may take a form unique to its shock type, implying that the chemistry of each shock type is unique as well. We aim to investigate the different chemistries of J-type and C-type shocks in order to identify unique molecular tracers of both shock types.

Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Magnetic field amplification by collisionless shocks in partially ionized plasmas [PDF]
In this paper, we study shock structures of collisionless shocks in partially ionized plasmas by means of two-dimensional hybrid simulations, where the shock is a perpendicular shock with shock velocity Vsh ~ 40 Va ~ 1333 km/s and the upstream ionization fraction is 0.5. We find that large density fluctuations and large magnetic fields fluctuations are

Diffusive Shock Acceleration by Multiple Weak Shocks [PDF]
The intracluster medium (ICM) is expected to experience on average about three passages of weak shocks with low sonic Mach numbers, $M\lesssim 3$, during the formation of galaxy clusters. Both protons and electrons could be accelerated to become high energy cosmic rays (CRs) at such ICM shocks via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA).

Suprathermal Proton Spectra at Interplanetary Shocks in Hybrid Simulations [PDF]
Interplanetary shocks are one of the proposed sources of suprathermal ion populations (i.e., ions with energies of a few times the solar wind energy). Here, we present results from a series of three-dimensional hybrid simulations of collisionless shocks in the solar wind. We focus on the influence of the shock-normal angle, $\theta_{Bn}$, and the shock

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...
