MaDis-Stereo: Enhanced Stereo Matching via Distilled Masked Image Modeling by Jihye Ahn, Hyesong Choi, Soomin Kim, Dongbo Min

“…Although Transformer-based stereo models have been studied recently, their performance still lags behind CNN-based stereo models due to the inherent data scarcity issue in the stereo matching task. In this paper, we propose Masked Image Modeling Distilled Stereo matching model, termed MaDis-Stereo, that enhances locality inductive bias by leveraging Masked Image Modeling (MIM), a technique that improves model performance by randomly masking parts of the input image in training Transformer-based stereo model. …”

Empirical Modeling of Ionospheric Current Using Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis and Artificial Neural Network by Charles Owolabi, Haibing Ruan, Yosuke Yamazaki, Jinfeng Li, Jiahao Zhong, A. V. Eyelade, Shishir Priyadarshi, Akimasa Yoshikawa

“…Abstract Given the potential importance of solar quiet (Sq) ionospheric current in geomagnetic field modeling, it is vital to obtain accurate parameters characterizing its variations, particularly the spatial and temporal variations. In this paper, we derived the Sq current function based on the spherical harmonic analysis (SHA) technique using a 14‐year (2006–2019) quiet geomagnetic field record over the American sector. …”

Coupling relationship between land use transition and rural transformation development: A case study of county-level regions in Jiangsu Province by GE Dazhuan, WANG Rumin, LU Xiaoxue

“…[Objective] The coupling level between land use transition and rural transformation development shows obvious gradient differentiation characteristics at different stages of socio-economic development or in different regions, and clarifying the coupling relationship between the two systems creates conditions for promoting sustainable rural revitalization. [Methods] This paper took the county-level administrative regions in Jiangsu Province as an example from 2000 to 2020, analyzed the theoretical framework of the coupling relationship between land use transition and rural transformation development, and applied the coupling coordination and VAR model to explore their spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and interaction mechanism. …”

Review of the environmental and health risks of hydraulic fracturing fluids by Sara Makki, Elsa Maalouf, Alissar Yehya

“…Fracturing fluid recovery rate is highly variable, and the fact that a high percentage of the injected HF fluid is not produced back to the surface in some areas raises questions about its fate and possible migration into aquifers. In this paper, the composition of the HF fluid and related toxicity are described, along with insights about the environmental impact linked with HF fluid, synthesized spill data, main factors affecting the flow-back ratio, and induced seismicity related to HF activities. …”
