Urban Surface Water Mapping from VHR Images Based on Superpixel Segmentation and Target Detection by Qingwei Liu, Yugang Tian, Lihao Zhang, Bo Chen

“…The method includes three steps: clustering water bodies into sparse targets at the object level by an improved scale-adaptive simple non-iterative clustering (SA-SNIC) superpixel segmentation; generating new bands with additional spectral, spatial, and derived features, to increase the dimensions of original data and enhance the separability between water bodies and background covers; and constructing a positive-negative constrained energy minimization multitarget sparse detector to highlight the water bodies while suppressing shadows. …”

Performance Evaluation and Optimization of 3D Gaussian Splatting in Indoor Scene Generation and Rendering by Xinjian Fang, Yingdan Zhang, Hao Tan, Chao Liu, Xu Yang

“…Firstly, utilizing a self-collected dataset, a comprehensive comparison was conducted among COLLI-SION-MAPping (abbreviated as COLMAP (V3.7), an open-source software based on Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo (SFM-MVS)), Context Capture (V10.2) (abbreviated as CC, a software utilizing oblique photography algorithms), Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), and the currently renowned 3DGS algorithm. The key dimensions of focus included the number of images, rendering time, and overall rendering effectiveness. …”

Differential equations and recursive solutions for cosmological amplitudes by Song He, Xuhang Jiang, Jiahao Liu, Qinglin Yang, Yao-Qi Zhang

“…Finally, we show how the differential equations truncate for the de Sitter (dS) case (in a way similar to differential equations for Feynman integrals truncate for integer dimensions), which immediately yields the complete symbol for the dS amplitude with interesting structures e.g. for n-site chains and n-gon cases.…”

Biodiversity Change in Cultural Landscapes—The Rural Hotspot Hypothesis by Carsten Neumann, Robert Behling, Gabriele Weiss

“…Pressures of cultivation shift, landscape decoupling, structural homogenization, and use of technology and agrochemicals are identified as backyard ecological drivers negatively affecting biodiversity preservation, particularly in the surrounding rural landscape. Spatiotemporal dimensions of backyard pressures involving material fluxes, species exchange and retention, alternation of site conditions, and local genetic adaptation are delineated for different backyard features, including building structures, gardens, lawns, and paved grounds. …”

Psychological Characteristics and Health Behavior for Juvenile Delinquency Groups by Fangbin Song, Ruihua Li, Wei Wang, Shenyu Zhang

“…By comparing the YPPQ test scores of different groups, the adolescent group has higher test scores than the juvenile delinquency groups in five of the dimensions. Through the comparative analysis of the YPPQ test results of the juvenile delinquency groups, the problem youth group, and the normal youth group, it is found that the YPPQ has high reliability and validity, so its detection and evaluation are highly feasible. …”

The wolf (Canis lupus) in the north of Central Polissia: diet, ecological niche width, and selective predation by Sergiy Zhyla

“…The results of the analysis of linear characters showed that specimens from the northern, central, and southern oblasts of Ukraine differ from those from the eastern oblasts of Ukraine and the native range of the common raccoon dog (eastern regions of Russia), the latter being characterised by larger dimensions. The analysis of shape differences using MorphoJ demonstrates the greatest morphological distance between the samples from the territory of Ukraine and the sample from the species’ native range. …”

Digging for clues: Stick tools used for honey digging in a second community of ‘forest fragment chimpanzees’ outside the Budongo and Bugoma Forests, Uganda by Matthew R. McLennan, Georgia A. Lorenti, Simon Mugenyi, Jonan Muganzi, Jacqueline Rohen

“…Digging (or ‘perforating’) sticks recovered at two Meliponini ground nests in Mairirwe were remarkably similar in dimensions to digging sticks from Bulindi. Sticks used by these two nearby Ugandan populations were also similar to honey digging sticks used by chimpanzees in Central Africa, suggesting relative uniformity in this tool use behaviour across a large geographical area. …”
