Coupling ICESat-2 and Sentinel-2 data for inversion of mangrove tidal flat to predict future distribution pattern of mangroves by Xiaoyong Ming, Yichao Tian, Qiang Zhang, Yali Zhang, Jin Tao, Junliang Lin

“…We use the inundation frequency derived from the long-term Sentinel-2 image sequences and elevation data extracted from the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) to establish a specific relationship between inundation frequency and ground elevation using both classical and generalized regression models, a mangrove tidal flat topography covering 76.9 km2 was generated. …”

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

“…We derive remarkably simple first-order differential equations involving such time integrals with edges “contracted” one at a time, which can be solved recursively and the solution takes the form of Euler-Mellin integrals/generalized hypergeometric functions. By combining such equations, we then derive a complete system of differential equations for all time integrals needed for a given graph. …”

Modelling of User Behaviour for Static Rebalancing of Bike Sharing System: Transfer of Demand from Bike-Shortage Stations to Neighbouring Stations by Roberta Costa Affonso, Florent Couffin, Patrice Leclaire

“…In order to determine which stations must be supplied on a priority basis and the number of bicycles to be supplied (named in this paper as rebalancing plan), the aim is generally to reduce the lost demand for each station, i.e., the gap between the demand for bicycles and the number of bicycles at a station. …”

Object Re-Identification Based on Federated Incremental Subgradient Proximal Optimization by Li Kang, Chuanghong Zhao, Jianjun Huang

“…However, the real statistical heterogeneity in federated object re-identification leads to domain shift issues, resulting in decreased performance and generalization ability of the ReID model. Therefore, to address the privacy constraints and real statistical heterogeneity in object re-identification, this article focuses on studying the object re-identification method based on the Federated Incremental Subgradient Proximal(FedISP) framework. …”

Nonlocal Huygens’ meta-lens for high-quality-factor spin-multiplexing imaging by Jin Yao, Yubin Fan, Yunhui Gao, Rong Lin, Zhihui Wang, Mu Ku Chen, Shumin Xiao, Din Ping Tsai

“…Quasi-bound states in the continuum (q-BICs) are excited to provide a high quality factor of 90 and incident-angle dependence. The generalized Kerker condition, driven by Fano-like interactions between q-BIC and in-plane Mie resonances, breaks the radiation symmetry, resulting in a transmission peak with a geometric phase for polarization-converted light, while unconverted light exhibits a transmission dip without a geometric phase. …”
