An efficient network for object detection in scale-imbalanced remote sensing images by Li Zhongyu, Jing Xiaoping, Sun Rui, Yang Yazhi, Wang Wei, Zhu Hongzhen

“…Remote sensing images contain complex scene information and have multi-scale characteristics after being imaged by remote sensing equipment because the target instances in natural scenes are different sizes. In addition, small target instances are more difficult to identify in complex backgrounds, resulting in serious scale imbalance problems, which pose a serious challenge to identifying and positioning target objects. …”

The Origin of the Gas and Its Low Star Formation Efficiency in Quiescent Galaxies by Yang A. Li, Luis C. Ho, Jinyi Shangguan, Zhao-Yu Li, Yingjie Peng

“…We suggest that the cold gas resides mainly in the outskirts of the gas-rich QGs, where bars, if present, cannot transport it inward efficiently to fuel central star formation. The prominent bulges in gas-rich QGs stabilize the cold gas from fragmentation and lead to low star formation efficiency.…”
