Synergizing Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing and Systemic Resilience for Rainstorm–Flood Risk Zoning in the Northern Qinling Foothills: A Geospatial Modeling Approach by Dong Liu, Jiaqi Zhang, Xin Wang, Jianbing Peng, Rui Wang, Xiaoyan Huang, Denghui Li, Long Shao, Zixuan Hao

“…This framework quantitatively evaluates the nonlinear response mechanisms of town–village systems to flood disasters, emphasizing the synergistic effects of spatial scale, morphology, and functional organization. The proposed framework uniquely integrates three innovative modules: (1) a hybrid risk identification engine combining normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) temporal anomaly detection and spatiotemporal hotspot analysis; (2) a morpho-functional resilience quantification model featuring a newly developed spatial morphological resilience index (SMRI) that synergizes landscape compactness, land-use diversity, and ecological connectivity through the entropy-weighted analytic hierarchy process (AHP); and (3) a dynamic scenario simulator embedding rainfall projections into a coupled hydrodynamic model. …”

Environmental Performance of Existing Cities and Green Infrastructures—Two Case Studies Compared: Reggio Calabria and Enna, Italy by Celestina Fazia

“…The research identifies two ways to prepare cities to meet the challenges: the first is to optimize the way the urban organism functions by containing CO₂ emissions and consumption of nonrenewable resources by indicating strategies to regenerate the existing city according to an ecosystem approach; the second is to preserve the natural areas of the peri-urban area through graded forms of protection and enhancement by curbing the settlement thrusts of the existing city. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”

A lightweight transformer based multi task learning model with dynamic weight allocation for improved vulnerability prediction by Lan Liu, Zhanfa Hui, Guiming Chen, Tingfeng Cai, Chiyu Zhou

“…Traditional methods, such as single-task learning and ensemble approaches, often struggle with these challenges, particularly in detecting rare but critical vulnerabilities. To address this, we propose the MTLPT: Multi-Task Learning with Position Encoding and Lightweight Transformer for Vulnerability Prediction, a novel multi-task learning framework that leverages custom lightweight Transformer blocks and position encoding layers to effectively capture long-range dependencies and complex patterns in source code. …”
