Cryo multi-scale microscopy visualization tools for studying microbial communities on glacier surfaces by Rey Mourot, Rey Mourot, Rey Mourot, Vladimir Roddatis, Alexandre M. Anesio, Martyn Tranter, Liane G. Benning, Liane G. Benning

“…These studies have unveiled that pigmented glacier ice algae, namely, Ancylonema nordenskiöldii and Ancylonema alaskanum, blooming during the summer melt seasons accelerate surface melting. Most techniques that quantify microbial processes on glacial surfaces require the melting of samples prior to their analysis and, so far, the structure and three-dimensional arrangement of microorganisms that bloom on bare ice surfaces have never been characterized. …”

Sequence analysis of local indicators of spatio-temporal association for evolutionary pattern discovery by Jianing Yu, Hengcai Zhang, Peixiao Wang, Jinzi Wang, Feng Lu

“…However, the dynamic trends of spatial-temporal (S-T) autocorrelation remain poorly understood, yet capturing these patterns is essential for analyzing the evolution of spatial processes. To fill the gap, we propose a novel S-T LISA methodology to automatically discover co-occurrences LISA subsequences over time by incorporating sequence analysis techniques. …”

Simulation study on the urban-rural integration circulatory mechanism system in China: Based on system dynamics model and multi-objective genetic algorithm by Gaoyang Liang, Mingqiang Xing, Jianqiang Zhao

“…Existing academic research on China’s urban-rural integration lacks a comprehensive exploration that integrates “factors and pathways” while providing a dynamic depiction of how different driving forces influence the urban-rural integration process. To bridge this gap, this study constructs a “Theoretical Model of the Urban-Rural Integration Circulatory Mechanism” based on three core driving forces—market circulation, public service circulation, and information technology circulation—by reviewing relevant literature and clarifying the roles and interrelationships of these factors in economic, social, spatial, ecological, and population integration. …”
