Machine learning-guided field site selection for river classification by Zhihao Wang, Gregory Brian Pasternack, Yufang Jin, Costanza Rampini, Serena Alexander, Nikhil Kumar, Rune Storesund, K. Martin Perales, Christopher Lim, Stephanie Moreno, Igor Lacan

“…Results revealed clear differences in variable distributions between the 148 high‐certainty sites and the 51 high‐uncertainty sites, a pattern that was validated by our field surveys. Furthermore, the 41 newly identified high‐uncertainty sites were found under-represented in the initial surveyed sites and thus their selection for the next round of field surveys will help fill the important feature gaps left by the initial survey. …”

Erodabilidad y erosión hídrica potencial en un sector de la cuenca del rio Otún - Colombia by Madero Morales Edgar Enrique, Bergsma Eelco

“…To predict the advance of rill and interril erosion in bare soil, Bergsma (1989) developed a semicuantitative system with this purpose, and what is related to the presence and frequency of six microtopography soil surface features after each rain and at the end of tillage: original clods, eroding clods, depressional areas, linear flow pattern of shallow channels and deeper rills, and coverage (vegetation, gravel, etc.); each feature has a length less than 25 cm. …”

Identification of Cultural Landscapes and Spatial Distribution Characteristics in Traditional Villages of Three Gorges Reservoir Area by Jia Jiang, Zhiliang Yu, Ende Yang

“…Through field surveys, landscape feature assessments, GIS spatial analysis, and multi-source data analysis, we systematically analyse their cultural landscape type systems and spatial differentiation characteristics, and then reveal their cultural landscape types and spatial differentiation patterns. (1) The results of the study show that the spatial distribution of traditional villages exhibits significant altitude gradient differentiation—the low-altitude area is dominated by traffic and trade villages, the middle-altitude area is dominated by patriarchal manor villages and mountain farming villages, and the high-altitude area is dominated by ethno-cultural and ecologically dependent villages. (2) Slope and direction analyses further reveal that the gently sloping areas are conducive to the development of commercial and agricultural settlements, while the steeply sloping areas strengthen the function of ethnic and cultural defence. …”

Latent Class Analysis of Gameplay Metrics from Youth Playing Robot ChampionsTM: Relations of Class Membership to Persistence and Intensity by Lawrence Scheier, William Hansen, Alex Stone, Jennifer Javornik

“…Despite a rapid burgeoning in the use of game metrics, few studies have used this type of objective instrumentation to examine whether users display unique patterns of gameplay. To address this gap, this study examines a temporal slice of game metrics obtained from a robotics platform using person-centered strategies to empirically examine unique gameplay characteristics. …”

Research Status and Direction of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Complicated with Coronary Heart Disease: A Bibliometric Analysis from 2005 to 2024 by Bian H, Zhu S, Xing W, Qi L, Xue J, Peng X, Jin Z, Zhao H

“…Through keyword clustering analysis, we categorized all keywords into three distinct groups: management strategies for COPD and CHD; diseases associated with both conditions; and epidemiological characteristics concerning their burden—current hotspots include multimorbidity factors such as hypertension and obesity alongside outcomes like diagnosis during COVID-19 pandemic implications within societal contexts are highlighted here too.Conclusion: Presently focused research on COPD coupled with CHD primarily revolves around five key areas: pathogenesis exploration, early diagnostic techniques, COVID-19 infection, dynamics intervention, methodologies, and treatment protocol development efforts. To improve the early detection rate of COPD complicated with CHD, the main development direction in the future is to extract computed tomography (CT) features using imaging omics and establish an early prediction model. …”
