Dynamics of non-Markovian systems is a classic problem yet it attracts everlasting activity in physics and beyond. A powerful tool for modeling such setups is the generalized Langevin equation, however, its analysis typically poses a major challenge even for numerical means. For this reason, various approximations have been proposed over the years that simplify the original model.

The use of drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and other flying vehicles has increased exponentially in the last decade. These devices pose a serious threat to helicopter pilots who constantly seek to maintain situational awareness while flying to avoid objects that might lead to a collision. In this paper, an Airborne Visual Artificial Intelligence System is proposed that seeks to improve helicopter pilots' situational awareness (SA) under UAV-congested environments.

The nematode is responsible for a vector-borne disease affecting canines and humans worldwide, known as cardiopulmonary dirofilariasis. An accurate and early diagnosis is of the utmost importance for effective disease management. While traditional microscopy-based methods remain invaluable, they have inherent limitations.

Oxalate decarboxylase is an Mn- and O-dependent enzyme in the bicupin superfamily that catalyzes the redox-neutral disproportionation of the oxalate monoanion to form carbon dioxide and formate. Its best-studied isozyme is from where it is stress-induced under low pH conditions. Current mechanistic schemes assume a monodentate binding mode of the substrate to the N-terminal active site Mn ion to make space for a presumed O molecule, despite the fact that oxalate generally prefers to bind bidentate to Mn.
