Synergizing Retrieval and CoT Reasoning via Spatial Consensus for Worldwide Visual Geo-Localization
Worldwide visual geo-localization aims to predict the geographic coordinates of an image capture location from visual content alone, posing unique challenges due to the vast scale of the Earth’s surface and pervasive visual ambiguity across distant regions. Existing approaches face distinct limitations as follows: retrieval-based methods demand massive geo-tagged databases and scale poorly; alignment-based models lack interpretability and are vul…
Associations between dietary index for gut microbiota, fatty infiltration and insulin resistance: Mediation analyses from NHANES 2003–2006
Fatty infiltration, commonly assessed by the lipid accumulation product (LAP), reflects pathological ectopic fat deposition and is closely related to metabolic dysfunction. The Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) quantifies a microbiota-supportive diet, but its association with LAP and the potential mediating role of insulin resistance (IR) remain unclear. This study analyzed data from 4,885 adults in the NHANES 2003-2006 cycles to examine t…

Bacterial biomarkers are linked more closely to wheat yield formation than overall bacteria in fertilized soil
Soil bacteria play pivotal roles in agroecosystem functioning. However, the immense diversity of soil bacterial communities masks the effects of some species, such as bacterial biomarkers, on soil nutrient cycling and crop growth. We analyzed biological and chemical soil parameters of five fertilization treatments (CK, LN, CN, HN, LNM: 0, 150, 200, 250 kg N hm −2 , 150 kg N hm −2 + 15,000 kg hm −2 sheep manure). The random forest models were used…
Linking microbial carbon‐degrading potential to organic carbon sequestration in fertilized soils: Insights from metagenomics
The capacity of soils to store organic carbon (SOC) is vital for agricultural productivity. Soil microorganisms exert a critical role in carbon (C) flow and potentially influence C balance through the decomposition of plant and microbial dead biomass. However, the connection between the microbial degradation potential of plant‐derived and microbial‐derived C and soil organic carbon sequestration (SOCSR) under organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) fe…
