Research on the Pattern Evolution of Innovation Output Space in Guangzhou Metropolitan Area Based on Authorized Invention Patent Data by Shan Zhuoran, Liu Sisi, Yuan Man, Zhu Junqing

“…The results show that: (1) the evolution of innovation output space generally follows the pattern of "gathering in the core area of the main district of the central city in a metropolitan region, generating innovation output growth points in the secondary cities and forming a number of innovation output cross-border integration areas." (2) The innovation output space of enterprises continues to cluster toward industrial parks and technology parks with clear boundaries, and the extensive construction of parks has driven the decentralized development of innovation output space of enterprises; The innovation output space of scientific research institutions, with strong stability, has always been highly concentrated in the core area of the main city of Guangzhou and has expanded with the construction of university towns within the metropolitan area; The individual innovation output has shifted from "explosive spatial dispersion" to "organized spatial convergence", and the adsorption effect of urban rail transit on individual innovation output is becoming increasingly significant. (3) The three types of innovation outputs always have spatial proximity characteristics, and enterprise innovation is the main driving force for innovation diffusion in the periphery of metropolitan areas. (4) Regional innovation output is influenced by both the innovation environment and innovation inputs, among which government support is the most critical driving force affecting the three types of innovation outputs. …”

Cluster Analysis of RF-EMF Exposure to Detect Time Patterns in Urban Environment: A Model-Based Approach by Nicola Pasquino, Nunzia Solmonte, Nikola Djuric, Dragan Kljajic, Snezana Djuric

“…The increase in human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), driven by advancements in telecommunication systems like the 5G mobile system, highlights the need for continuous EMF monitoring. Advanced techniques for data analysis, based on machine learning like clustering, can decompose daily variations in EMF exposure into distinct patterns, providing a clearer understanding of how exposure fluctuates over time. …”

Water-Sediment Characteristics and Flow-Sediment Diversion Patterns in Typical Bifurcated Channels in the Middle Reaches of Huaihe River by ZHANG Hui, NI Jin, BEN Peng, WANG Jiu-sheng

“…[Objective] Current research on water-sediment characteristics of the Huaihe River mainstream mainly focuses on single channels, while studies on water-sediment characteristics, relationships, and diversion patterns in its bifurcated channels are limited. This study selects the typical bifurcated section from Wangjiaba to Nanzhaoji (hereinafter referred to as “Mengwa section”) in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, aiming to clarify the variations in water-sediment characteristics and diversion patterns of typical bifurcated channels. …”

Stratification of insect diversity and daily activity patterns in the West African virgin forest Taï assessed by entomological Lidar by Hampus Månefjord, Assoumou Saint-Doria Yamoa, Yatana Adolphe Gbogbo, Lauro Müller, Anna Runemark, Benoit Kouassi Kouakou, Rabbi Boateng, Andrew Atiogbe Huzortey, Isaac Kwame Badu, Niklas Wahlberg, Mikkel Brydegaard, Jérémie T. Zoueu, Benjamin Anderson, Meng Li

“…The optical properties of captured insects, including wing specularity and polarimetric response, were analyzed and correlated with Lidar signals, revealing distinct insect clusters and activity patterns at different canopy heights. These findings show the potential of using Lidar to non-invasively assess insect diversity continuously across complex canopies to uncover species composition in ecosystems with high species diversity.…”
