The impact of landscape patterns on surface runoff in the central urban area of Chengdu by Ying Kang, Jingjing Liu, Qin Liu, Wenli Zhao, Yunjun Guo

“…This study constructs a Source-Sink Runoff Landscape Index (SSRLI), and it utilises the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to simulate the spatial distribution characteristics of surface runoff in the central urban area of Chengdu under different rainfall scenarios, exploring the relationship between landscape patterns and surface runoff. The results indicate: ① In 2022, the landscape types in the central urban area of Chengdu were mainly farmland, forestland, and impervious surfaces, accounting for 83.27% of the total study area. ② As rainfall intensity increased, the average rainfall-runoff conversion rate increased from 0.263 to 0.599. …”

Towards sustainable architecture: Enhancing green building energy consumption prediction with integrated variational autoencoders and self-attentive gated recurrent units from mult... by Qing Zeng, Fang Peng, Xiaojuan Han

“…This study addresses these challenges by proposing an advanced deep learning framework that integrates Time-Dependent Variational Autoencoder (TD-VAE) with Adaptive Gated Self-Attention GRU (AGSA-GRU). The framework incorporates self-attention mechanisms and Multi-Task Learning (MTL) strategies to capture long-term dependencies and complex patterns in energy consumption time series data, while simultaneously optimizing prediction accuracy and anomaly detection. …”
