The evaluation of geometric accuracy of high-resolution satellite images (HRSIs) has been increasingly recognized in recent years. The traditional approach is to verify each satellite individually. It is difficult to directly compare the difference in their accuracy. In order to evaluate geometric accuracy for multiple satellite images based on the same ground control benchmark, a reliable test field in Xianning (China) was utilized for geometric accuracy validation of HRSIs. Our research team has obtained multiple HRSIs in the Xianning test field, such as SPOT-6, Pleaides, ALOS, ZY-3 and TH-1. In addition, ground control points (GCPs) were acquired with GPS by field surveying, which were used to select the significant feature area on the images. We assess the orientation accuracy of the HRSIs with the single image and stereo models. Within this study, the geometrical performance of multiple HRSIs was analyzed in detail, and the results of orientation are shown and discussed. As a result, it is feasible and necessary to establish such a geometric verification field to evaluate the geometric quality of multiple HRSIs.

Generalized Hartree-Fock (GHF) is a long-established electronic structure method that can lower the energy (compared to spin-restricted variants) by breaking physical wave function symmetries, namely and . After an exposition of GHF theory, we assess the use of GHF trial wave functions in phaseless auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC-G) calculations of strongly correlated molecular systems including symmetrically stretched hydrogen rings, carbon dioxide, and dioxygen. Imaginary time propagation is able to restore symmetry and yields energies of comparable or better accuracy than CCSD(T) with unrestricted HF and GHF references, and consistently smooth dissociation curves─a remarkable result given the relative scalability of ph-AFQMC-G to larger system sizes.

Geometric morphometrics is used in the biological sciences to quantify morphological traits. However, the need for manual landmark placement hampers scalability, which is both time-consuming, labor-intensive, and open to human error. The selected landmarks embody a specific hypothesis regarding the critical geometry relevant to the biological question.

The determination of three-dimensional structures (3D structures) is crucial for understanding the correlation between the structural attributes of materials and their functional performance. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) is an indispensable tool to characterize the atomic-scale local 3D structure of the system. Here, we present an approach to simulate XANES based on a customized 3D graph neural network (3DGNN) model, XAS3Dabs, which takes directly the 3D structure of the system as input, and the inherent relation between the fine structure of spectrum and local geometry is considered during the model construction.

Accurate rupture risk assessment is essential for optimizing treatment decisions in patients with cerebral aneurysms. While computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has provided critical insights into aneurysmal hemodynamics, most analyses focus on blood flow patterns, neglecting the biomechanical properties of the aneurysm wall. To address this limitation, we applied Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis, an integrative approach that simulates the dynamic interplay between hemodynamics and wall mechanics, offering a more comprehensive risk assessment.
