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. …”

Distinct fungal communities associated with different organs of the mangrove Sonneratia alba in the Malay Peninsula by Nicole Li Ying Lee, Danwei Huang, Zheng Bin Randolph Quek, Jen Nie Lee, Benjamin J. Wainwright

“…Abstract Mangrove forests are key tropical marine ecosystems that are rich in fungi, but our understanding of fungal communities associated with mangrove trees and their various organs remains limited because much of the diversity lies within the microbiome. In this study, we investigated the fungal communities associated with the mangrove tree Sonneratia alba throughout Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore. …”

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.…”

PCA-Based Line Detection from Range Data for Mapping and Localization-Aiding of UAVs by Roberto Opromolla, Giancarmine Fasano, Michele Grassi, Al Savvaris, Antonio Moccia

“…Also, performance of the overall line detection architecture, as well as of the solutions proposed for line-based mapping and localization-aiding, is evaluated exploiting real range data acquired in indoor environments using an UTM-30LX-EW 2D LIDAR. This paper lies in the framework of autonomous navigation of unmanned vehicles moving in complex 2D areas, for example, being unexplored, full of obstacles, GPS-challenging, or denied.…”

Dynamic Characteristics of Aerosol Optical Properties over Dibrugarh City in the North-Eastern Indian Region during 2018–2021 by Akshansha Chauhan, Shukla Acharjee, Ramesh P. Singh, Brent Holben

“…The highest volume of the aerosols reaches up to 0.11 µm3 µm−2 during pre-monsoon months, whereas it lies below 0.05 µm3 µm−2 in other seasons. SSA values indicate the presence of scattering aerosols but in 2020, a sudden decline in the SSA values shows a strong rise in the absorbing aerosols. …”

Theoretical Foundations of Digital Content Integrity Expertise by Bobok I.I., Kobozieva A.A.

“…The significance of the obtained results lies in their subsequent use for the develop-ment of universal methods for examining the integrity of digital images, video, in particular ste-ganoanalytical methods, which make it possible not only to identify the fact of integrity viola-tion, but also to assess the magnitude of the perturbing effect, which is extremely important in steganoanalysis, where this value characterizes the throughput of a hidden communication channel.…”

Linking machine learning and biophysical structural features in drug discovery by Armin Ahmadi, Shivangi Gupta, Vineetha Menon, Jerome Baudry

“…This novel approach integrates biophysical insights with machine learning, focusing on pharmacophoric properties such as charge, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobicity, and aromaticity.ResultsResults showed significant enrichment of true positive ligands—improving database enrichment by up to 54-fold compared to random selection—demonstrating the robustness of this approach across diverse proteins.ConclusionUnlike conventional structure-based or ligand-based screening methods, this work emphasizes the role of specific protein conformations in driving ligand binding, making the process highly interpretable and actionable for drug discovery. The key innovation lies in identifying pharmacophore features tied to conformations selected by ligands, offering a predictive framework for optimizing drug candidates. …”

Organisational career conversations: exploring the experiences and perceptions of professional services line-managers in higher education by Sarah Allbeson

“…The discussion identifies that line-managers value career conversations and feel equipped to hold them but consider they need more support in terms of the organisational infrastructure that lies behind a career conversation. There was evidence of a hybrid career concept in which there are elements of reciprocal responsibility for career management between the organisation and the individual. …”
