The Influence of Pile-Driving Vibration on the Soil Nailing Support of a Silty Soil Foundation Pit by Yuancheng Guo, Hao Wu, Chenglin Li

“…The paper studied the effects under different vibration parameters on the soil strength and the nail-soil interface strength by using a vibration exciter and a nail pull-out model box. The results showed that the stronger the excitation force was and the higher the frequency was, the greater the attenuation of the soil strength and nail-soil interface strength was. …”

MODELING OF TRANSFORMATION FEATURES FOR NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE NOVOSIBIRSK RESERVOIR by Aleksandr A. Tskhai, Vladislav Y. Ageikov, Aleksandr N. Semchukov

“…To obtain an adequate picture of environmental processes occurring in various parts of the reservoir modeling of the transformation features of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in the waters of the Novosibirsk reservoir was performed in the box approximation. Phytoplankton biomass in a relatively shallow water area significantly exceeds concentrations in the deep-water and near-dam parts of the reservoir. …”

"Narrative Cloggers": Notes on Description and Subversion in Nicholson Baker’s Fiction by Françoise Sammarcelli

“…The essay focuses on three of Baker’s novels and comments on the evolution in Baker’s work between 1988 and 2003, from the exuberant description of objects in The Mezzanine (1988), to a more intimate rehistoricizing of the object as a trace of the narrator’s experience as a family man in Room Temperature (1990), to the repeated encoding of daily life as an ever-renewed mystery in A Box of Matches (2003).Dwelling on the various strategies at work in Baker’s descriptions (such as his frequent experiment with conjunction and disjunction, or his particular use of metaphor and metonymy), this paper also shows how the humorous defamiliarization of the visible contributes to the resistance of the texts. …”

Patrol image analysis framework and deep learning method for power grid by Yuanning LI, Baifeng NING, Zhaojie DONG

“…With the development of intelligent manufacturing and IoT,UAV has been widely utilized by power grid enterprise in patrolling transmission lines.At the same time,massive patrol image data need to be analyzed urgently.A U2U image analysis framework was designed from user data collection,automatic annotation and to user feedback.Two deep learning methods,which were faster R-CNN and SSD,were explored and applied in U2U to detect five types of power components,including insulators,dampers,grading rings and shielding rings.A refining method based on K-means++ was proposed for the parameters of anchor box.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively improve the adaptability and detection accuracy of deep learning method for multiple-scale power components and provide a useful reference for subsequent defect detection and deep application of UAV patrolling.…”

Differential fault attack on FeW by Min XIE, Jiaqi LI, Feng TIAN

“…In order to evaluate the security of the lightweight block cipher FeW,a differential fault attack method was proposed and discussed using a single byte random fault model.In this method,a single byte random fault was introduced on the right side of the last round of FeW to recover the key based on the statistical characteristics of S-box difference distribution,and the difference information was obtained using the characteristics of the linear diffusion function.The experiment results show that the complete key recovery can be achieved with an average of 47.73 and 79.55 fault injections for FeW-64-80 and FeW-64-128 respectively.If 2<sup>10</sup>exhaustive calculations are added to the key recovery process,the number of average fault injections required can be reduced to 24.90 and 41.50.This attack is effective on FeW.…”
