A deep learning framework based on structured space model for detecting small objects in complex underwater environments
Underwater target detection plays a crucial role in monitoring the marine ecological environment. In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework combining Structured Space Model(SSM) and CNN, specifically designed for small target detection tasks in complex underwater environments.
Cyclone Biparjoy and Phosphorus Transitions: Tracing Dust Pathways to Asia’s Largest Grassland
Dust transport plays a crucial role in global nutrient cycles, yet its impact on grasslands remains underexplored. Our study investigates how cyclone Biparjoy influenced deposition in the Banni grassland, revealing how dust from the MENA and the Thar Desert contributes ecosystem nutrient dynamics.
Employing biodiversity to reduce pesticide risk
Biodiversity (eg., crop diversification, crop-domestic animal co-culture, and crop-edible fungus co-culture) has been proved to be a useful way to suppress pests and therefore to reduce pesticide risk in farming.
Quantifying the shift of public export finance from fossil fuels to renewable energy
Export credit agencies (ECAs) de-risk and enable energy projects worldwide. Here, we analyze 921 energy deals backed by ECAs from 31 OECD and non-OECD countries to identify the direction and patterns of ECA energy financing, including fossil fuels, renewables, and grid infrastructure since 2013.
