Structural Behavior of Reinforced Self-Compacted Engineered Cementitious Composite Beams by Bashar S. Mohammed, M. F. Nuruddin, Muhammad Aswin, Nursyuhada Mahamood, Hashem Al-Mattarneh

“…Nevertheless, contrary to VecTor2, models of EC2 and RILEM are not suitable for predicting reasonable ultimate moments for the beams, while results using VecTor2 model have successfully predicted the failure modes and load-deflection curves for all R-SC-ECC beams. It has been concluded that R-SC-ECC fall in the category of ductility class medium to high which gives advantages of using R-SC-ECC beams in regions susceptible to seismic activities.…”

Endogenous Third-Degree Price Discrimination in a Supply Chain with One Common Manufacturer and Duopoly Retailers by Hongmei Yang, Wei Wang

“…By comparing the results among different information acquisition and price discrimination decisions, we find that there exist two possible equilibrium decisions for both retailers: both retailers acquire information and price discriminate and no retailer acquires information and each charges a uniform price for all consumers. The strategy which dominates depends on the fraction of high price-sensitivity consumers and the consumers’ difference in price sensitivity. …”

Pseudo-siamese network image tampering localization model based on reinforced samples by Jinwei WANG, Zihe ZHANG, Xiangyang LUO, Bin MA

“…With the continuous development of the internet, an increasing number of images have been tampered with on the network, accompanied by a growing range of techniques to cover up tampering traces.However, most current detection models neglect the impact of image post-processing on tamper detection algorithms, limiting their real-life applications.To address these issues, a general image tampering location model based on enhanced samples and the pseudo-twin network was proposed.The pseudo-twin network enabled the model to learn tampering features in real images.On one hand, by applying convolution constraints, the image content was suppressed, allowing the model to focus more on residual trace information of tampering.The two-branch structure of the network facilitated the comprehensive utilization of image feature information.By utilizing enhanced samples, the model could dynamically generate the most crucial pictures for learning tamper types, enabling targeted training of the model.This approach ensured that the model converged in all directions, ultimately obtaining the global optimal model.The idea of data enhancement was employed to automatically generate abundant tampered images and corresponding masks, effectively resolving the limited tampering dataset issue.Extensive experiments were conducted on four datasets, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model in pixel-level tamper detection.Particularly on the Columbia dataset, the algorithm achieves a 33.5% increase in F1 score and a 23.3% increase in MCC score.These results indicate that the proposed model harnesses the advantages of deep learning models and significantly improves the effectiveness of tamper location detection.…”
