The concept of creating an electric field strength meter with the determination of the error of the measurement result and the distance to the field source by S. V. Biryukov

“…A new concept of constructing an electric field strength meter is considered. The concept lies in the fact that along with the measurement of the modulus of the electric field strength vector, the error of the measurement result and the distance to the field source are subject to simultaneous instrumental determination. …”

The Enlightenment of Domestic and International Legal and Policies Related to the Sea Level Rise Adaptation by ZHANG Zefei, REN Shutong, XIA Dongdong, SHEN Xiaoying

“…The global mean sea level is rising with an acceleration, posing threats to coastal ecosystems and environments, and impacting the societal viability of coastal nations, particularly the low-lying countries and island states. Along China's coast, the rate of sea level rise exceeds the global average, leading to compressed coastal habitats, loss of shoals, threaten underground freshwater resources, and exacerbated disasters such as storm surges, floods, and sea water intrusion. …”

Large N limit of the Yang–Mills measure on compact surfaces II: Makeenko–Migdal equations and the planar master field by Antoine Dahlqvist, Thibaut Lemoine

“…This paper considers the large N limit of Wilson loops for the two-dimensional Euclidean Yang–Mills measure on all orientable compact surfaces of genus larger or equal to $1$ , with a structure group given by a classical compact matrix Lie group. Our main theorem shows the convergence of all Wilson loops in probability, given that it holds true on a restricted class of loops, obtained as a modification of geodesic paths. …”

Gradual Colonic Impaction of a Chicken Bone Associated with Inflammatory Pseudotumor Formation and Nonocclusive Colon Ischemia by Stefania Fosi, Simone Altobelli, Alessio Bindi, Massimo Villa, Flavio De Sanctis, Mauro Montuori, Edoardo Ricciardi, Piero Rossi, Giuseppe Petrella, Giovanni Simonetti

“…The patient underwent surgical exploration which confirmed the hypoperfusional state of the colon, showing the presence of a chicken bone perforating the sigma and lying in the context of a pseudotumoral mass. Our experience shows how contrast-enhanced CT is feasible and can be strongly recommended as a first-line imaging tool on suspicion of colon ischemia and also how it can easily identify the underlying cause, in our case a FB sealed perforation of the sigma with pseudotumoral mass formation.…”
