The collection of essays—written by innovative Southeast Asian-based scholars in Anthropology, Chinese Studies, Communication Studies, History, and Religious Studies—provide new perspectives on the lesser-known Buddhist communities in this region. These five articles are empirically grounded in a specific community, but they situate their analyses in much broader disciplinary and theoretical perspectives.

Protein–protein interfaces can be extracted from three-dimensional (3D) structural data of protein complexes and then clustered to derive biological insights. However, conventional protein interface clustering methods lack computational scalability and statistical support. In this work, we present a new method named "PPiClust" to systematically encode, cluster, and analyze similar 3D interface patterns in protein complexes efficiently. Experimental results showed that our method is effective in discovering visually consistent and statistically significant clusters of interfaces, and at the same time sufficiently time-efficient to be performed on a single computer. The interface clusters are also useful for uncovering the structural basis of protein interactions. Analysis of the resulting interface clusters revealed...
