Plank theorems and their applications: A survey
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, EarlyView.Abstract Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems in various areas of mathematics.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Dimer models and conformal structures
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 340-446, February 2026.Abstract Dimer models have been the focus of intense research efforts over the last years. Our paper grew out of an effort to develop new methods to study minimizers or the asymptotic height functions of general dimer models and the geometry of their frozen boundaries.

On the Q‐Polynomial Property of Bipartite Graphs Admitting a Uniform Structure
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 69-86, February 2026.ABSTRACT Let Γ denote a finite, connected graph with vertex set X. Fix x ∈ X and let ε ≥ 3 denote the eccentricity of x. For mutually distinct scalars { θ i * } i = 0 ε define a diagonal matrix A * = A * ( θ 0 * , θ 1 * , … , θ ε * ) ∈ Mat X ( R ) as follows: for y ∈ X we let ( A * ) y y = θ ∂ ( x , y ) *, where ∂ denotes the shortest path length ...

Steiner Triple Systems With High Discrepancy
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 5-14, January 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper, we initiate the study of discrepancy questions for combinatorial designs. Specifically, we show that, for every fixed r ≥ 3 and n ≡ 1 , 3 ( mod 6 ), any r‐colouring of the triples on [ n ] admits a Steiner triple system of order n with discrepancy Ω ( n 2 ).

Completing Multi‐Latin Rectangles via Factors With Prescribed Degrees in Bipartite Graphs
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 31-36, January 2026.ABSTRACT Let Q be an n × n array whose top left r × s sub‐array L is filled with a set of k different symbols such that each cell of L contains λ symbols. In this note, we find conditions under which each empty cell of Q can be filled with λ symbols in such a way that the total number of occurrences of each symbol is prescribed and that each symbol ...

New Difference Triangle Sets by a Field‐Programmable Gate Array‐Based Search Technique
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 37-50, January 2026.ABSTRACT We provide some difference triangle sets with scopes that improve upon the best known values. These are found with purpose‐built digital circuits realized with field‐programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) rather than software algorithms running on general‐purpose processors.

On the Stability Barrier of Hermite Type Discretizations of Advection Equations
Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT We establish a stability barrier for a class of high‐order Hermite‐type discretization of 1D advection equations underlying the hybrid‐variable (HV) and active flux (AF) methods. These methods approximate both cell averages and nodal solutions and evolve them in time simultaneously.

On a rigidity property for quadratic gauss sums
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Let N$N$ be a large prime and let c>1/4$c > 1/4$. We prove that if f$f$ is a ±1$\pm 1$‐valued multiplicative function, such that the exponential sums Sf(a):=∑1⩽n

On certain extremal Banach–Mazur distances and Ader's characterization of distance ellipsoids
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract A classical consequence of the John Ellipsoid Theorem is the upper bound n$\sqrt {n}$ on the Banach–Mazur distance between the Euclidean ball and any symmetric convex body in Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$. Equality is attained for the parallelotope and the cross‐polytope. While it is known that they are unique with this property for n=2$n=2$ but not for n⩾
