TL;DR: The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, and it is applied for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ^{130}Te neutrinoless double-beta decay.
Abstract: The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ^{130}Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO_{2} exposure of 86.3 kg yr, characterized by an effective energy resolution of (7.7±0.5) keV FWHM and a background in the region of interest of (0.014±0.002) counts/(keV kg yr), we find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Including systematic uncertainties, we place a lower limit on the decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.3×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.); the median statistical sensitivity of this search is 7.0×10^{24} yr. Combining this result with those of two earlier experiments, Cuoricino and CUORE-0, we find T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.5×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.), which is the most stringent limit to date on this decay. Interpreting this result as a limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass, we find m_{ββ}<(110-520) meV, where the range reflects the nuclear matrix element estimates employed.

TL;DR: In this article, the vegetation in a high alpine site of the European Alps experienced changes in area between 1953 and 2003 as a result of climate change and showed rapid expansion rates of 5.6% per decade at altitudes between 2400 m and 2500 m.
Abstract: The vegetation in a high alpine site of the European Alps experienced changes in area between 1953 and 2003 as a result of climate change. Shrubs showed rapid expansion rates of 5.6% per decade at altitudes between 2400 m and 2500 m. Above 2500 m, vegetation coverage exhibited unexpected patterns of regression associated with increased precipitation and permafrost degradation. As these changes follow a sharp increase in both summer and annual temperatures after 1980, we suggest that vegetation of the alpine (2400–2800 m) and nival (above 2800 m) belts respond in a fast and flexible way, contradicting previous hypotheses that alpine and nival species appear to have a natural inertia and are able to tolerate an increase of 1–2°C in mean air temperature.

TL;DR: The first direct search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the recently discovered Higgs boson (H) is described in this paper, where the search is performed in the H→μτ_e and H→mτ_h channels, where τeτe and τ_h are tau leptons reconstructed in the electronic and hadronic decay channels, respectively.

TL;DR: Cavaletti and Marmiroli as mentioned in this paper reviewed the mechanistic and clinical aspects of CIPN, as well as assessing the current status of neuroprotective approaches and other treatment options for this condition.
Abstract: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a frequent consequence of cancer treatment, and can profoundly affect the quality of life of individuals who survive cancer. In this article, Cavaletti and Marmiroli review the mechanistic and clinical aspects of CIPN, as well as assessing the current status of neuroprotective approaches and other treatment options for this condition.
