Low-Resolution Target Detection with High-Frequency Information Preservation by Feng Zhang, Hongyang Bai, Wenlong Yin, Ze Li, Hailong Ma, Lei Chen

“…It is composed of two key components: (1) the decoupled high-frequency learning component, which extracts the high-frequency information along the vertical and horizontal directions separately, and (2) the dilated frequency-aware channel correlation component, which decomposes the input feature map into multiple smaller ones in a dilated manner, concatenates them by channel, and then correlates the combined channels in the frequency space. …”

Improving Performance of Integrated Ground-HAPS FSO Communication Links With MIMO Application by Emna Zedini, Yalcn Ata, Mohamed-Slim Alouini

“…In this paper, we investigate the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) free-space optical (FSO) communication systems, encompassing both slant path (downlink and uplink) and horizontal links. The FSO links span ground-to-high altitude platform system (HAPS), HAPS-to-ground, and HAPS-to-HAPS configurations. …”

Lateral behavior of high-speed railway bridge pile foundation in soft soils under adjacent surcharge loads considering time-dependent characteristics by Shuanglong Li, Zhiping Deng, Limin Wei, Qiaoxiong Chen, Yang Zhang, Feifei He

“…The results show that with increasing load duration, the bending moment and deflection of the pile increase gradually, and their distribution is closely related to the thickness and location of the soft soil layer. Furthermore, the horizontal soil-arching between piles underwent the stages of stabilization, local damage, and plastic flow, in which the passive load acting on the pile side continued to increase until it stabilized, resulting in time-dependent lateral deflection of the pile foundation. …”

Study on influencing factors of soil compaction effect of pipe pile in soft soil area by Sifeng Zhang, Xinyuan Zhang

“…The results show that the soil deformation caused by pile sinking increases first and then decreases in depth, and the soil deformation decreases exponentially in the horizontal direction. The width of the shear strain zone does not change with the increase of penetration, that is, the influence of the squeezing effect on the adjacent pile is mainly rotation and translation. …”
