Urban Expansion Scenario Prediction Model: Combining Multi-Source Big Data, a Graph Attention Network, a Vector Cellular Automata, and an Agent-Based Model by Yunqi Gao, Dongya Liu, Xinqi Zheng, Xiaoli Wang, Gang Ai

“…The results show that (1) the UESP model achieved an overall accuracy of 0.925, a Kappa coefficient of 0.878, and a FoM index of 0.048, outperforming traditional models, with the FoM being 3.5% higher; (2) through multi-scenario simulation prediction, it is found that under the scenario of ecological conservation and farmland protection, forest and grassland increase by 3142 km², and cultivated land increases by 896 km², with construction land showing a concentrated growth trend; and (3) the expansion of construction land will mainly occur at the expense of farmland, concentrated around Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, Shijiazhuang, and southern core cities in Hebei, forming a “core-driven, axis-extended, and cluster-expanded” spatial pattern.…”

Choroidal thickness in patients with coronary artery disease. by Meleha Ahmad, Patrick A Kaszubski, Lucy Cobbs, Harmony Reynolds, Roland Theodore Smith

“…<h4>Conclusions and relevance</h4>Patients with CAD have a thinner macular choroid than controls, with preservation of the normal spatial CTh pattern. Decreased CTh might predispose patients with CAD to high-risk phenotypes of age-related macular degeneration such as reticular pseudodrusen and could serve as a potential biomarker of disease in CAD.…”

Can vegetation breakpoints in Eastern Mongolia rangeland be detected using Sentinel-1 coherence time series data? by Shuxin Ji, Ganzorig Gonchigsumlaa, Sugar Damdindorj, Tserendavaa Tseren, Densmaa Sharavjamts, Amartuvshin Otgondemberel, Enkh-Amgalan Gurjav, Munguntsetseg Puntsagsuren, Batnaran Tsabatshir, Tumendemberel Gungaa, Narantsetseg Batbold, Lukas Drees, Bayarchimeg Ganbayar, Dulamragchaa Orosoo, Bayartsetseg Lkhamsuren, Badamtsetseg Ganbat, Myagmarsuren Damdinsuren, Gantogoo Gombosuren, Batnyambuu Dashpurev, Thanh Noi Phan, Nandintsetseg Dejid, Thomas Müller, Lukas Lehnert

“…The breakpoints in October and November can be explained by increasing grazing pressure as the herders moved to the winter camps while those occurring in spring are associated with enhanced vegetation growth after herders left for summer camps. (3) From a spatial perspective, the random forest model predicts summer and winter pastures with homogeneous patterns. …”
