Brazil dismantles hundreds of illegal dredges in Amazon mining crackdown
Brazilian police with support from Interpol have destroyed 277 dredges used in illegal gold mining along the Madeira River in one of the largest coordinated crackdowns in the Amazon. The raids targeted criminal networks behind environmental crimes and were supported by officers from six Amazon countries. Authorities collected forensic samples to trace pollutants, while follow-up investigations aim to dismantle the illicit gold trade’s financial networks.

Spatiotemporal Pattern Mining of Moving Objects: Concepts, Methods, and Challenges - Journal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis
Mining potentially meaningful movement patterns of moving objects is of great significance for analyzing human movement law, understanding traffic mechanisms, and analyzing wild animal migration activities. In recent years, the growing availability of movement data from sensor networks and location-aware devices has provided great opportunities for investigating the spatiotemporal patterns of moving objects. A systematic review of this rapidly evolving field is necessary to synthesize existing …

Calm local optimality for couple-constrained minimax problems
Recently, a new local optimality concept for minimax problems, termed calm local minimax points, has been introduced. In this paper, we extend this concept to a general class of nonsmooth, nonconvex nonconcave minimax problems with coupled constraints, where the inner feasible set depends on the outer variable. We derive comprehensive first-order and second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for calm local minimax points in the setting of nonsmooth, nonconvex nonconcave minima…

Neighborhood-Adaptive Generalized Linear Graph Embedding with Latent Pattern Mining
Graph embedding has been widely applied in areas such as network analysis, social network mining, recommendation systems, and bioinformatics. However, current graph construction methods often require the prior definition of neighborhood size, limiting the effective revelation of potential structural correlations in the data. Additionally, graph embedding methods using linear projection heavily rely on a singular pattern mining approach, resulting in relative weaknesses in adapting to different …

Brazil dismantles hundreds of illegal dredges in major Amazon mining crackdown
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Brazilian police backed by Interpol have destroyed hundreds of dredges used in illegal gold mining along the Madeira River, in one of the biggest coordinated crackdowns yet on criminal networks operating across the Amazon Basin. The international police agency said officers dismantled 277 floating mining rafts worth an estimated $6.8 million. […]
