Spatiotemporal evolution and multi-scenario simulation of the land-use cover change and habitat quality in arid and semi-arid areas: a case study of the urban agglomeration along t... by Tianle Ma, Wenhao Cheng, Wenxuan Yao

“…Habitat quality (HQ) is recognized as a significant factor in biodiversity maintenance and ecological conservation advancement, and the land-use cover change (LUCC) can directly affect the spatial pattern and evolution of HQ. Land-use datasets spanning 2010, 2015, and 2020 were analyzed through the integrated application of the future land-use simulation (FLUS) model and the integrated valuation of ecosystem services and trade-offs (InVEST) model, supplemented by multiple analytical indicators, resulting in LUCC patterns and HQ variations being investigated within the urban agglomeration along the Yellow River in Ningxia, China. …”

Spin–orbit coupling induced by ascorbic acid crystals by Grenapin Florence, D’Errico Alessio, Karimi Ebrahim

“…We experimentally demonstrate these effects using samples of crystallized ascorbic acid and observing the creation of optical vortices in transmitted laser beams, as well as the formation of inhomogeneous polarisation patterns. Our findings suggest the use of some spherulites based on other materials in frequency ranges, e.g. in the THz domain, where polarisation and spatial shaping of electromagnetic radiation is still a challenging task.…”

Bioconvection in Microalgae: Review of Mathematical Models by Laura Barsanti, Lorenzo Birindelli, Angelo Di Garbo, Paolo Gualtieri

“…This review aims to provide a comprehensive examination of this phenomenon in a concentrated population of suspended microalgae definable as nonlinear dynamical systems (i.e., generators of spatial and temporal patterns), describing and clarifying the underlying mechanisms, ecological implications, and possible biotechnological applications in different fields for the improvement of bioreactor design for biomass cultivation, wastewater treatment, or bioremediation. …”

Ndae1 expression and regulation in Drosophila embryos. by Maria Florencia Tevy, Denis Seyres, Concetta Traina, Laurent Perrin, Maria Capovilla

“…We show that Ndae1 is expressed in a tight and complex spatial-temporal pattern. In particular, we report that this downstream effector gene is under the control of the canonical dorsal-ventral patterning cascade through dorsal, Toll, twist and snail at early embryogenesis. …”

Projected Spatiotemporal Evolution of Urban Form Using the SLEUTH Model with Urban Master Plan Scenarios by Yuhan Liu, Caiyan Wu, Jiong Wu, Yangcen Zhang, Xing Bi, Meng Wang, Enrong Yan, Conghe Song, Junxiang Li

“…The spatial pattern followed a “concave shape” pattern and displayed anisotropic behavior, with the high values for these indicators primarily observed before 2025. (3) The urban form followed a diffusion–coalescence process, with patch areas dominated by the infilling mode and patch numbers dominated by the edge-expansion mode. …”

A Sharpe ratio-integrated indicator system for land use changes ecological risks: Within coupled disaster-economic assessment frameworks by Xuyang Zhang, Wei Song, He Gao

“…The Sharpe ratio effectively couples these parameters for risk assessment. (2) Under three scenarios – natural development, urban expansion, and ecological conservation – the mean ERI values were 0.4718, 0.4719, and 0.4703 respectively, indicating highest overall risk in urban expansion. (3) Spatial analysis revealed similar risk gradation patterns across the plain, dominated by medium–high risk areas (20.33%), followed by medium-risk (30.21%), with relatively smaller proportions of high-risk (13.77%) and medium–low risk (14.23%) zones. (4) Future projections show escalating risks in eastern regions, particularly along urban peripheries. …”
