Gravity research in the Rajabasa geothermal prospect area was conducted to determine geothermalreservoirs and faults as reservoir boundaries. The research includes spectrum analysis and separation of the Bouguer anomaly to obtain a residual Bouguer anomaly, gradient analysis using the second vertical derivative (SVD) technique to identify fault structures or lithological contact, and 3D inversion modeling of the residual Bouguer anomaly to obtain a 3D density distribution subsurface model. Analysis was performed based on all results with supplementary data from geology, geochemistry, micro-earthquake (MEQ) epicenter distribution map, and magnetotelluric (MT) inversion profiles. The study found 3 (three) geothermal reservoirs in Mount Balirang, west of Mount Rajabasa, and south of Pangkul Hot Spring, with a depth of around 1,000-1,500 m from the ground level. Fault structures and lithologies separate the three reservoirs. The location of the reservoir in the Balirang mountain area corresponds to the model data from MEQ, temperature, and magnetotelluric resistivity data. The heat source of the geothermal system is under Mount Rajabasa, which is indicated by the presence of high-density values (might be frozen residual magma), high-temperature values, and the high number of micro-earthquakes epicenters below the peak of Mount Rajabasa.

Computer-aided diagnosis of pathological images usually requires detecting and examining all positive cells for accurate diagnosis. However, cellular datasets tend to be sparsely annotated due to the challenge of annotating all the cells. However, training detectors on sparse annotations may be misled by miscalculated losses, limiting the detection performance. Thus, efficient and reliable methods for training cellular detectors on sparse annotations are in higher demand than ever. In this study, we propose a training method that utilizes regression boxes' spatial information to conduct loss calibration to reduce the miscalculated loss. Extensive experimental results show that our method can significantly boost detectors' performance trained on datasets with varying degrees of sparse annotations. Even if 90% of the annotations are missing, the performance of our method is barely affected. Furthermore, we find that the middle layers of the detector are closely related to the generalization performance. More generally, this study could elucidate the link between layers and generalization performance, provide enlightenment for future research, such as designing and applying constraint rules to specific layers according to gradient analysis to achieve “scalpel-level” model training.

This article contributes to clarifying the questions of whether and how fractal geometry, i.e., some of its main properties, are suitable to characterize architectural designs. This is done in reference to complexity-related aesthetic qualities in architecture, taking advantage of the measurability of one of them; the fractal dimension. Research in this area so far, has focused on 2-dimensional elevation plans. The authors present several methods to be used on a variety of source formats, among them a recent method to analyze pictures taken from buildings, i.e., 2.5-dimensional representations, to discuss the potential that lies within their combination. Color analysis methods will provide further information on the significance of a multilayered production and observation of results in this realm. In this publication results from the box-counting method are combined with a coordinate-based method for analyzing redundancy of proportions and their interrelations as well as the potential to include further layers of comparison are discussed. It presents a new area of box-counting implementation, a methodologically redesigned gradient analysis and its new algorithm as well as the combination of both. This research shows that in future systems it will be crucial to integrate several strategies to measure balanced aesthetic complexity in architecture.

The hippocampus plays a central role in supporting our coherent and enduring sense of self and our place in the world. Understanding its functional organisation is central to understanding this complex role. Previous studies suggest function varies along a long hippocampal axis, but there is disagreement about the presence of sharp discontinuities or gradual change along that axis. Other open questions relate to the underlying drivers of this variation and the conservation of organisational principles across species. Here, we delineate the primary organisational principles underlying patterns of hippocampal functional connectivity (FC) in the mouse using gradient analysis on resting state fMRI data. We further applied gradient analysis to mouse gene co-expression data to examine the relationship between variation in genomic anatomy and functional organisation. Two principal FC gradients along a hippocampal axis were revealed. The principal gradient exhibited a sharp discontinuity that divided the hippocampus into dorsal and ventral compartments. The second, more continuous, gradient followed the long axis of the ventral compartment. Dorsal regions were more strongly connected to areas involved in spatial navigation while ventral regions were more strongly connected to areas involved in emotion, recapitulating patterns seen in humans. In contrast, gene co-expression gradients showed a more segregated and discrete organisation. Our findings suggest that hippocampal functional organisation exhibits both sharp and gradual transitions and that hippocampal genomic anatomy exerts a subtle influence on this organisation.

Abstract Two crystals incorporating the thiamine·HCl cation and the fluorinated anion 1,3-disulfonylhexafluoropropyleneimide have been characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The host-guest interactions of thiamine with the anions are analyzed and characterized using Hirshfeld surface analysis. The cations in both structures form a dimer in the solid-state via reciprocal hydrogen bonding through the amine and hydroxyl moieties. Additional investigation into the interactions responsible for dimer formation found that the sulfur atom in the thiazolium ring interacting with several hydrogen atoms to form stabilizing interactions. These interactions in the dimer are further analyzed using reduced density gradient analysis and the results are correlated to the fingerprint plots derived from the Hirshfeld surfaces. Moreover, specific interactions are observed from the cyclical anions, with both the fluorine and sulfonyl oxygen atoms participating in bridging interactions, displaying the diverse host-guest properties of thiamine.

AbstractUnderstanding the spatial distribution characteristics and formation mechanism of urban facilities (city functional components) constitutes the basis of urban layout optimization. Currently, research on the overall distribution of the various types of city functional components is lacking. In this study, by applying the gradient analysis method common in ecology, we considered 13 types of city functional components (80,214 individuals in total) in large, medium and small Chinese cities (9 cities in total) to carry out quantitative analysis of the distribution of components along urban–rural gradients through density distribution curves. The results indicated that: (1) a higher density of city functional components near the city centre revealed an obvious aggregated distribution; (2) the spatial distribution dynamics of city functional components were related to the city size, providing a reference for the rational distribution of components in cities of different sizes; (3) the distribution of city functional components was affected by their ecosystem services. This study offers a new perspective for the application of ecological methods in the examination of the distribution of city functional components.
