Integrating the Prior Shape Knowledge Into Deep Model and Feature Fusion for Topologically Effective Brain Tumor Segmentation by Salma Asif, Ahmad Raza Shahid, Kiran Aftab, Syed Ather Enam

“…However, deep learning models prioritize either local or global features, failing to adequately capture topological features or integrate prior shape knowledge. Deep learning techniques totally rely on the loss function optimization and due to the lack of explicit form of prior knowledge, they may struggle to generate the accurate tumor shapes. …”

Towards an integrated framework for understanding social-ecological interactions: nature’s contributions to people meets cultural ecosystem services by Kim C. Zoeller, Graeme S. Cumming

“…We propose that integrating cultural ecosystem services more explicitly into the IPBES conceptual framework can help fill its existing gaps by 1) elucidating the social-cultural mechanisms that underpin the production and valuation of non-material NCP, 2) explaining the role of heterogeneity in cultural, social and environmental processes, 3) identifying the two-way interactions between nature and people that co-produce NCP, and 4) identifying synergies between the IPBES conceptual framework and the cultural ecosystem services approach that will facilitate the application of the IPBES framework in more diverse settings. …”

The Modular and Integrated Data Assimilation System at Environment and Climate Change Canada (MIDAS v3.9.1) by M. Buehner, J.-F. Caron, E. Lapalme, A. Caya, P. Du, Y. Rochon, S. Skachko, M. Bani Shahabadi, S. Heilliette, M. Deshaies-Jacques, W. Chang, M. Sitwell

“…The modular software design also allows the code that implements high-level components (e.g. observation operators, error covariance matrices, state vectors) to easily be used in many different ways depending on the application, such as for both variational and ensemble DA algorithms, for estimating the observation impact on short-term forecasts, and for performing various observation pre-processing procedures. The use of a single common DA software package for multiple components of the Earth system provides both practical and scientific benefits, including the facilitation of future research on DA approaches that explicitly include the coupled connections between multiple Earth system components. …”

Stable Machine‐Learning Parameterization of Subgrid Processes in a Comprehensive Atmospheric Model Learned From Embedded Convection‐Permitting Simulations by Zeyuan Hu, Akshay Subramaniam, Zhiming Kuang, Jerry Lin, Sungduk Yu, Walter M. Hannah, Noah D. Brenowitz, Josh Romero, Michael S. Pritchard

“…Although many studies have demonstrated proof‐of‐concept success of achieving stable hybrid simulations, it remains a challenge to achieve near operational‐level success with real geography and comprehensive variable emulation that includes, for example, explicit cloud condensate coupling. In this study, we present a stable hybrid model capable of integrating for at least 5 years with near operational‐level complexity, including coarse‐grid geography, seasonality, explicit cloud condensate and wind predictions, and land coupling. …”
