Effect of Fast Freeze-Thaw Cycles on Mechanical Properties of Ordinary-Air-Entrained Concrete by Huai-shuai Shang, Wei-qun Cao, Bin Wang

“…In this study, ordinary-air-entrained (O-A-E) concrete was produced in a laboratory environment; the compressive strength, cubic compressive strength of C50, C40, C30, C25, and C20 ordinary-air-entrained concrete, tensile strength, and cleavage strength of C30 ordinary-air-entrained concrete were measured after fast freeze-thaw cycles. The effects of fast freeze-thaw cycles on the mechanical properties (compressive strength and cleavage strength) of ordinary-air-entrained concrete materials are investigated on the basis of the experimental results. …”

Fast Tensor-Based Joint Estimation for Time Delay and Angle of Arrival in OFDM System by Jinzhi Du, Weijia Cui, Bin Ba, Chunxiao Jian, Haiyun Xu

“…Nowadays, the joint estimation of time delay (TD) and angle of arrival (AOA) using conventional vector structure suffers from the considerable complexity of multidimensional spectrum search. Therefore, a fast estimation method using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology and uniform planar array (UPA) is proposed in this paper, which adopts low-complexity tensor-based operations and spatial-frequency features to reconfigure the channel frequency response. …”

A Fast and Efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method for Market Microstructure Model by Sun Yapeng, Peng Hui, Xie Wenbiao

“…The estimation of the model is difficult, since the unobservable surplus demand is a time-varying stochastic variable in the return equation, and the market liquidity arises both in the mean term and in the variance term of the return equation in the MM model. A fast and efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach based on an efficient simulation smoother algorithm and an acceptance-rejection Metropolis–Hastings algorithm is designed to estimate the non-linear MM model. …”

Fast Task Scheduling With Model Predictive Control Integrating a Priority-Based Heuristic by Francesco Liberati, Manuel Donsante, Chiara Maria Francesca Cirino, Andrea Tortorelli

“…While a standard application of mixed-integer optimization would not be feasible in practice due to the combinatorial complexity of the problem, the scalable MPC algorithm proposed in this paper retains all the flexibility and modelling power of optimization-based techniques, and is almost as fast as the state of the art scheduling heuristics, which in real scenarios can provide a sub-optimal solution in few seconds, or less. …”

Research on Fast Pedestrian Detection Algorithm Based on Autoencoding Neural Network and AdaBoost by Hongzhi Zhou, Gan Yu

“…In order to solve the problem of low accuracy of pedestrian detection of real traffic cameras and high missed detection rate of small target pedestrians, this paper combines autoencoding neural network and AdaBoost to construct a fast pedestrian detection algorithm. Aiming at the problem that a single high-level output feature map has insufficient ability to express pedestrian features and existing methods cannot effectively select appropriate multilevel features, this paper improves the traditional AdaBoost algorithm structure, that is, the sample weight update formula and the strong classifier output formula are reset, and the two-input AdaBoost-DBN classification algorithm is proposed. …”

Separation of the Structure Signal by the Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform and Fast Fourier Transform by Thanh Q. Nguyen

“…This paper proposes a method for separating the synthetic vibration signal into a structure’s discrete vibration and other extraneous vibrations using the maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) method combined with the method of fast Fourier transform (FFT). With the combination of these two algorithms, MODWT and FFT, the signals of the synthesized vibration have been separated into component signals with different frequency ranges. …”

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. …”
