Revealing the fireworks-set-off pattern of spatial multi-function expansion across cities leveraging big geodata – a case of the Greater Bay Area, China by Ku Gao, Xiaomei Yang, Zhihua Wang, Yueming Liu, Huifang Zhang, Xiaoliang Liu, Qingyang Zhang

“…We found that (1) across-cities SMFE exhibited a fireworks-set-off pattern, including sprawling along river in the plains between coastal port cities and inland core cities and diffusing from inland core cities on the plains to inland node cities in the mountains; (2) social-living, business-trade, and industry-production functions were sequentially primary expanding functions; (3) paddy and forest were two major land cover types encroaching upon inland cities, while coastal cities primarily suffered from losses of water. In the future, planners should focus on ecological protection of hilly and coastal areas when formulating industrial transfer policies and enhancing transport networks. …”

Deep Learning Model for CS-Based Signal Recovery for IRS-Assisted Near-Field THz MIMO System by Vaishali Sharma, Prakhar Keshari, Sanjeev Sharma, Kuntal Deka, Ondrej Krejcar, Vimal Bhatia

“…However, the substantial dimensions associated with IRS and MIMO extend the near-field, particularly at THz frequencies, as indicated by the Rayleigh distance and suffer from beam squint. To reduce system complexity and reduce sampling to sub-Nyquist rate, we propose a novel receiver design for an IRS-assisted near-field MIMO THz system that employs low-complexity compressed sensing. …”
