Downscaling MODIS Surface Reflectance to Improve Water Body Extraction by Xianghong Che, Min Feng, Hao Jiang, Jia Song, Bei Jia

“…Although MODIS provides two bands at 250 m resolution, accurately deriving water area always depends on observations from the spectral bands with 500 m resolution, which limits its discrimination ability over small lakes and rivers. The paper presents an automated method for downscaling the 500 m MODIS surface reflectance (SR) to 250 m to improve the spatial discrimination of water body extraction. …”

BERT-Residual Quantum Language Model Inspired by ODE Multi-Step Method by Shaohui Liang, Yingkui Wang, Shuxin Chen

“…Therefore, how to effectively integrate the quantum-inspired language model and the pre-trained model, and make them function under the fine-tuning paradigm of the pre-trained model has become a key issue for the further development of the quantum-inspired language model. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the BERT-Residual quantum language model inspired by the multi-step method of ordinary differential equations (ODE), using the density matrix to capture the semantic high-order interaction features missing in the BERT modeling process, and obtain the sentence representation, and perform the first step Residuals. …”

Microseismic Response Characteristics Induced by Mining Activities: A Case Study by Xuesong Bai, Zhi Tang, Tao Zhao, Xiaoyang Cheng, Kai Chen

“…For deep coal mines, geological disturbances or mining activities can cause damage to coal and rock masses, easily inducing dynamic disasters such as rock bursts or coal and gas outbursts, which seriously threaten the safety production of coal mine. In this paper, first, the Liyazhuang Coal Mine introduced the SOS MS (Sensor Observation Service Microseismic) monitoring system from the Polish Research Institute and verified the accuracy of its positioning. …”

Data and models reveal humid environmental conditions during MIS 3 in two of the world’s largest deserts by Lézine, Anne-Marie, Kageyama, Masa, Bassinot, Franck

“…MIS 3 environmental conditions in Africa north of the Equator and the Arabian Peninsula have long been controversial due to data scarcity and methodological caveats. In this paper we compare 245 continental hydrological records and 11 long and continuous continental and marine cores with results from the IPSL general circulation model to discuss hydrological changes between 59 and 29 ka in North Tropical Africa, North (Mediterranean) Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. …”

Vibration mechanism study based on coupled dynamic model for TBM main drive system by Wenjun Xu, Hanyang Wu, Junzhou Huo, Dongyun Wang

“…Insufficient research on the TBM vibration mechanism has led to low accuracy in the calculation of the dynamic response of the TBM main drive system under uncertain load. In this paper, multi-degree-of-freedom coupled dynamics model of the main drive system containing the cutterhead, gear drive, shield, and propulsion system was established, taking bearing and drive gear nonlinear contact forces, uncertain load into account. …”

Reducing fragmentation of primary healthcare financing for more equitable, people-centred primary healthcare by Kara Hanson, Gemini Mtei, Agnes Gatome-Munyua, Susan Sparkes, Martin Sabignoso, Prastuti Soewondo, Pierre Yameogo, Cheryl Cashin

“…It then highlights some of the possible consequences of this fragmentation for the efficiency, equity and effectiveness of service delivery.Four countries—Argentina, Burkina Faso, Indonesia and Tanzania—are used to illustrate practical steps that may be taken to minimise the consequences of fragmentation in PHC financing: (1) consolidating multiple coverage schemes, (2) avoiding further fragmentation, (3) harmonising health purchasing functions and (4) streamlining funding flows to the provider level.The country examples reveal lessons for policy-makers grappling with the consequences of fragmented PHC financing. The paper concludes with a research agenda to generate additional evidence on what works to address fragmentation.…”
