Nonlinear Structural Fusion for Multiplex Network by Nianwen Ning, Feiyu Long, Chunchun Wang, Youjie Zhang, Yilin Yang, Bin Wu

“…To tackle this problem, we propose a multiplex network structural fusion (MNSF) model, which can construct a network with comprehensive information. It is composed of two modules: the network feature extraction (NFE) module and the network structural fusion (NSF) module. (1) In NFE, MNSF first extracts a low-dimensional vector representation of a node from each layer. …”

Mechanisms and regulatory pathways of recessive land use transition by TAN Lin, CHEN Lan

“…It is rooted in the intervention system composed of regional resource endowments, engineering and technological systems, policy and institutional environments, cultural value recognition, and socio-economic development, featuring inherent relevance and dynamic adjustability. (3) Based on the underlying logic of “comprehensive land benefits - dominant land functions - land development rights”, regulatory pathways with element-coordinated governance, classification-based management guidelines, and well-improved institutional structure are constructed, which facilitate recessive land use transition. …”
