Enhanced melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer classification using a hybrid LSTM-CNN model by Sara M. M. Abohashish, Hanan H. Amin, E. I. Elsedimy

“…In the proposed approach, the image of each skin lesion is divided into a sequence of tags of a particular size, which is then treated by the LSTM network to capture temporal dependence and relevant relationships between different spatial regions. This patching sequence allows the modeling system to analyze the local pattern in the image. …”

Can Land System Innovation Promote the Improvement of Green Land Use Efficiency in Urban Land—Evidence from China’s Pilot Reform of the Approval System for Urban Construction Land... by Chong Liu, Haixin Huang, Jianfei Yang

“…Based on the natural experimental scenario of the pilot reform of China’s urban construction land use approval system, this study finds through in-depth analysis of the double-difference model that the vertical transfer of land approval authority has fundamentally optimized the development pattern of GUEUL, and that this positive impact is mainly reflected in two dimensions: on the one hand, it reduces the systematic transaction costs, and on the other hand, it enhances the density of industrial spatial agglomeration. …”

Quantification of mass wasting volume associated with the giant landslide Maleh Kabood induced by the 2017 Kermanshah earthquake from InSAR by Abolghasem Goorabi

“…The quantitative estimation of local elevation change, mass sliding volume and deposit thickness associated with the landslide is conducted. The spatial pattern of mass movement suggests that the giant landslide is characterized by a major sliding length of 3570 m along the NW–SE directions with an extension width of 1500-2300 m along the Maleh-Kabood and Ghoch-Bashi gully respectively, and a peak height change of 20 m in the vertical direction neat mountain ridge. …”
