Fast Object Detection and Localization in Ultrawide Swath Rotating Scan Remote Sensing Images by Zhiming Deng, Tianyu Zhang, Cheng Wei, Xibin Cao

“…However, unlike traditional remote sensing images, the inherent characteristics of rotating scan remote sensing images make fast object detection and localization a more challenging task because of the ultrawide swath results in extremely high image resolution; changes in the rotation angle cause variations in resolution; the large variation in object size; and side-looking imaging introduces greater geometric distortions. …”

Interaction Study of Oxygen and Iron-Sulfur Clusters Based on the Density Functional Theory by Jiancun Gao, Hongbin Sui, Siyuan Wu, Renyou Zhang, Mengxin Zhang, Bolun Cui, Huilin Chu

“…The thermal oxidation of the dimeric sulfur S2 generated in the reaction system releases heat that aggregates with the heat from the Fe4S4 cluster’s oxidation reaction system, eventually causing spontaneous combustion as a result of the heat’s continual buildup. In this study, we explore the reason for the extremely easy oxidation and spontaneous burning of iron sulfide compounds from a microscopic perspective to provide a theoretical foundation for the prevention and control of iron sulfide compound spontaneous combustion in the petrochemical sector.…”
