Integrating isotopic niche metrics and gut microbiota assembly reveals coexistence mechanisms in subtropical riverine fish by Yaqiu Liu, Xinhui Li, Konstantinos Ar. Kormas, Chunni Kou, Huifeng Li, Yuefei Li, Jie Li

“…Furthermore, our findings indicated fish host trophic niche differentiation emerges as an essential adaptive mechanism facilitating interspecific coexistence by minimizing resource competition. Crucially, we identified the similarity of the intestinal microbial community structure is closely related to the degree of overlap of its nutritional ecological niche, indicating functional convergence between host trophic niches and their symbiotic microbiomes.These microbial adaptations facilitate nutritional optimization from varied trophic sources, mediate interspecific resource partitioning, and expand ecological opportunities within the fish community. …”

“Locality – Adaptation” Research of Hydropower Resettlement Communities in the Jinsha River Basin: A Case Study of Ludila Hydropower Station by Fang WANG, Zhuoqi LI, Haoyi XU, Jiaqi YAN

“…At the settlement scale, the Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) deep learning model is utilized to identify architectural spatial features, categorizing three typical building types: traditional pitched-roof buildings, uniformly planned flat-roof buildings, and color steel plate-modified structures. Through multi-source data fusion (including remote sensing, demographic statistics, and compensation records) and field investigations, the research quantitatively analyzes the “locality – adaptation” reconstruction process of resettlement communities across the three spatial dimensions of living, production, and cultural spaces.Results1) Land cover evolution: Water storage of hydropower station inundates 37.12 km2 of land (including 21.61 km² of high-quality cultivated land), resulting in a loss of 43.68% of settlement production space. 2) Adjustment of architectural space: 65.8% of dwellings in the original villages are traditional timber-earth buildings with a tile roof, which adapt to the climate environment of concentrated rainfall and sufficient sunshine in the Jinsha River Basin. 48.7% of the resettlement sites adopt unified flat roof planning, and 51.3% realize functional optimization through self-construction or renovation, with the average renovation area reaching 230.9 m2. 3) Transformation of livelihood system: The annual compensation mechanism only restores 15.79% of the cultivated land allocation before resettlement, and the proportion of compensation income drops from 82.71% in the initial stage of relocation to 33.15% after long-term resettlement, driving the adjustment of crop structure to high value-added cash crops. 4) Cultural space reconstruction: In the context of the disappearance of traditional water transport functions, the three cultural relics reconstructed in different places show a symbolic turn. …”

Adaptation of the modular number system in threshold secret sharing schemes by A. F. Chernyavskiy, A. I. Kazlova, V. S. Sadov, A. A. Kolyada

“…The results of the presented work allow to conclude for modular threshold cryptosystems of secret sharing in distributed data processing systems that the use of a linear masking function and narrowing the range of changes in the masking analogue S̃ of the original secret S, allowing for minimally redundant coding for the selected p1, p2, …, pn, causes a significant reduction in the computational complexity of the calculated minimal-redundant modular arithmetic relations of integral characteristics within the framework of the model under study. …”
