Integrated assessment and prediction of ecological security in typical ecologically fragile areas.

In order to safeguard and restore ecological security in ecologically fragile regions, a regionally appropriate land use structure and ecological security pattern should be constructed. Previous ecological security research models for ecologically fragile areas are relatively homogenous, and it is necessary to establish a multi-modeling framework to consider integrated ecological issues. This study proposes a coupled "PLUS-ESI-Circuit Theory" framework for multi-scenario ecological security assessment of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR).

Using POI and multisource satellite datasets for mainland China's population spatialization and spatiotemporal changes based on regional heterogeneity.

Geospatial big data and remote sensing data are widely used in population spatialization studies. However, the relationship between them and population distribution has regional heterogeneity in different geographic contexts. It is necessary to improve data processing methods and spatialization models in areas with large geographical differences.

Glycolysis-Metabolism-Related Prognostic Signature for Ewing Sarcoma Patients.

Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is a malignant sarcoma which occurs in bone and soft tissues commonly happening in children with poor survival rates. Changes in cell metabolism, such as glycolysis, may provide the environment for the transformation and progression of tumors. We aimed to build a model to predict prognosis of EwS patients based on glycolysis and metabolism genes.

Using a combination of nighttime light and MODIS data to estimate spatiotemporal patterns of CO emissions at multiple scales.

Accurate mapping spatiotemporal patterns of CO emissions and understanding its driving factors are very important, it is useful for the scientific and rational formulation of carbon emission reduction policies. Nevertheless, due to data availability issues, most studies have been limited to the global and national scales, and the models used were relatively simple. In this paper, we used the 500 m Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (VIIRS-DNB) data and the 250 m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer normalized difference vegetation index (MODIS NDVI) and proposed an improved CO emissions index (ICEI) to calculate CO emissions.

Species differences in the green-up date of typical vegetation in Inner Mongolia and climate-driven mechanism based on process-based phenology models.

Different species within the same community may exhibit distinct phenological responses to climate change, so it is necessary to study species differences in the green-up date among abundant species within a wide area, and a suitable phenology model should be introduced to explain the associated climate-driven mechanism. Although various models have been developed, very few studies have aimed to compare their efficiency and robustness, and the relative contributions of climate driving factors have not been sufficiently examined. We analyzed phenology data for 12 species across 17 stations in Inner Mongolia and found that essential spatiotemporal and interspecies differences existed in the green-up date.

Temporal and spatial variation, input fluxes and risk assessment of cyclic methylsiloxanes in Rivers-Bohai Sea System.

In the present study, the total concentrations of three cyclic methylsiloxanes (ΣCMSs), including octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6), in surface water and sediment samples of five main rivers draining into the Bohai Sea were in the range of 1.62-1.39 × 10 ng/L and 1.

Research on the Impact of Absorption Feature Extraction on Spectral Difference Between Similar Minerals.

Diagnostic absorption features can indicate the existence of specific materials, which is the foundation of mineral analysis with optical remote sensing data. In hyperspectral data processing, the most commonly used method to extract absorption feature, is Continuum Removal (CR). As for multispectral data, Principle Component Analysis and other indirect methods were used to extract absorption information, and little research has been done on full-band absorption feature extraction.

Hypothesis: exertional heat stroke-induced myopathy and genetically inherited malignant hyperthermia represent the same disorder, the human stress syndrome.

Exertional heat stroke is usually experienced as a result of a prolonged and intensive exercise. It is a life-threatening condition that is characterized by an increase in core body temperature and rhabdomyolysis. The associated hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis may lead to an acute renal, cardiac, and hemostatic failure.
