Identification of dominant drivers of streamflow spatiotemporal variations in typical mountainous areas in the Hexi Corridor, China by Lemin Wei, Wenzhi Zhao, Chuandong Wu, Xiangyan Feng, Dacheng Song

“…However, due to the complex geographical environment and limited observation data in the study region, the attribution of spatiotemporal variations in streamflow influenced by climate change and/or human activities remains unclear. Here, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and the Budyko framework to unravel the dominant drivers of spatiotemporal variation in streamflow over the past 30 yr. …”

Leveraging Vision Foundation Model via PConv-Based Fine-Tuning with Automated Prompter for Defect Segmentation by Yifan Jiang, Jinshui Chen, Jiangang Lu

“…Firstly, to bridge the gap between SAM’s pre-training data and distinct characteristics of industrial defects, we introduce a parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) technique incorporating lightweight Multi-Scale Partial Convolution Aggregation (MSPCA) into Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), named MSPCA-LoRA, which effectively enhances the image encoder’s sensitivity to prior knowledge biases, while maintaining PEFT efficiency. …”
