From Meta SAM to ArcGIS: A Comparative Analysis of Image Segmentation Methods for Monitoring Refugee Camp Transitions by Noor Marji, Michal Kohout

“…While Meta SAM shows promise in object detection, its performance degrades with aerial imagery, achieving only 75% accuracy in settlement pattern recognition. The study establishes specific parameter optimization guidelines for humanitarian contexts, with spectral detail values of 3.0–7.0 and spatial detail values of 14.0–18.0, yielding optimal results for refugee settlement analysis. …”

The gene encoding the ketogenic enzyme HMGCS2 displays a unique expression during gonad development in mice. by Stefan Bagheri-Fam, Huijun Chen, Sean Wilson, Katie Ayers, James Hughes, Frederique Sloan-Bena, Pierre Calvel, Gorjana Robevska, Beatriz Puisac, Kamila Kusz-Zamelczyk, Stefania Gimelli, Anna Spik, Jadwiga Jaruzelska, Alina Warenik-Szymankiewicz, Sultana Faradz, Serge Nef, Juan Pié, Paul Thomas, Andrew Sinclair, Dagmar Wilhelm

“…Here, we present a novel gene, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase 2 (HMGCS2), encoding a metabolic enzyme in the liver important for energy production from fatty acids, that shows an unusual expression pattern in developing fetal mouse gonads. Shortly after gonadal sex determination it is up-regulated in the developing testes following a very similar spatial and temporal pattern as the male-determining gene Sry in Sertoli cells before switching to ovarian enriched expression. …”

An examination of changes in autumn Eurasian snow cover and its relationship with the winter Arctic Oscillation using 20th Century Reanalysis version 3 by G. J. Marshall

“…Within Eurasia, we reveal a strong SC–AO relationship with September SC in northeastern Eurasia, which has not been noted previously. The associated spatial pattern of September tropospheric height anomalies closely matches the positive phase of the western Pacific teleconnection pattern. …”

Spatiotemporal Variations in Human Activity Intensity Along the Qinghai–Tibet Railway and Analysis of Its Decoupling Process from Ecological Environment Quality Changes by Fengli Zou, Qingwu Hu, Lei Liao, Yuqi Liu, Haidong Li, Xujie Zhang

“…The study finds that (1) the spatiotemporal distribution of human activity intensity along the Qinghai–Tibet Railway demonstrates clear patterns, with expansion primarily radiating from transportation corridors and their intersections, and marked spatial heterogeneity across different segments. …”

Spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and landscape in coastal Zhejiang using multiple methods by Jingru Zhou, Haowei Xu, Chi Yung Jim, Saheed Adeyinka Oke, Xu Ma, Lifei Wei, Xiaodong Yang, Fei Zhang

“…This study aimed to support sustainable land-use policies through the planning and management of 35 counties, using official land-use data from 1990 to 2020. Spatial analysis methods included transition matrix, land-use intensity, landscape-pattern indices, centroid shift, and standard deviation ellipses. …”

Basic Properties of High-Dynamic Beam Shaping with Coherent Combining of High-Power Laser Beams for Materials Processing by Rudolf Weber, Jonas Wagner, Alexander Peter, Christian Hagenlocher, Ami Spira, Benayahu Urbach, Eyal Shekel, Yaniv Vidne

“…However, the limited number of fibers allows only limited spatial resolution of the common phase front. It is therefore favorable to work with plane or spherical common phase fronts, which generate a “point”, i.e., a diffraction pattern with a strong main lobe in the focal plane. …”

Assessment of ecological environment quality and their drivers in urban agglomeration based on a novel remote sensing ecological index by Fangyuan Lu, Chen Zhang, Haoyu Cao, Xibin Wang, Tong Zheng, Zhenfang Huang

“…However, notable regional disparities exist, with a spatial pattern characterized by “low EEQ in the northwest and high in the southeast.” (2) An analysis of NRSEI variations over this period indicates that the YRDUA’s EEQ has remained largely stable, although ecological degradation is concentrated in densely populated, low-lying areas near lakes, rivers, and plains. (3) Topographic complexity, economic development, and population density are the primary factors driving spatial differences in EEQ, with interactive effects among these factors exerting a more significant influence than individual factors alone.…”
