Class-Discrepancy Dynamic Weighting for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Hyperspectral Image Classification by Chen Ding, Jiahao Yue, Sirui Zheng, Yizhuo Dong, Wenqiang Hua, Xueling Chen, Yu Xie, Song Yan, Wei Wei, Lei Zhang

“…In recent years, cross-domain few-shot learning (CDFSL) has demonstrated remarkable performance in hyperspectral image classification (HSIC), partially alleviating the distribution shift problem. However, most domain adaptation methods rely on similarity metrics to establish cross-domain class matching, making it difficult to simultaneously account for intra-class sample size variations and inherent inter-class differences. …”

On the Effects of Parameters on Galaxy Properties in CAMELS and the Predictability of Ωm by Gabriella Contardo, Roberto Trotta, Serafina Di Gioia, David W. Hogg, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro

“…We investigate the statistical properties of two of these simulation suites, IllustrisTNG and ASTRID , confirming that Ω _m induces a strong displacement on the distribution of galaxy features. We also observe that most other parameters have little to no effect on the distribution, except for the stellar-feedback parameter A _SN1 , which introduces some near-degeneracies that can be broken with specific features. …”

Mechanisms of N2O production in salinity-adapted partial nitritation systems for high-ammonia wastewater treatment by Xiang Li, Yingxin Jin, Yanying He, Yufen Wang, Tingting Zhu, Yingxin Zhao, Bing-Jie Ni, Yiwen Liu

“…Partial Nitritation/Anammox (PN/A) can achieve green, economical, and efficient biological nitrogen removal; however, the PN process contributes significantly to nitrous oxide (N2O, the third most important greenhouse gas) emissions. Balancing the stability of PN systems while reducing N2O emissions, particularly under varying salinity conditions, is a key challenge in applying PN/A for high-salinity and high-ammonia wastewater treatment. …”
