Ultra-Low Static Power Circuits Addressing the Fan-Out Problem of Analog Neuron Circuits in Spiking Neural Networks by Jonghyuk Park, Woo Young Choi

“…In hardware-based spiking neural network (SNN) systems, neuron circuits face significant fan-out issues owing to their massively parallel connections to post-synaptic arrays, leading to distortion in the output spikes. This not only affects spike generation rates but also causes read voltage drops in post-synaptic arrays, ultimately degrading the system’s accuracy. …”

Modelling of control actions at the operational stage of the life cycle of roads by A. N. Tiraturyan

“…One of the complex problems of road asset management is the lack of unified “integral” indicators of their condition, which simultaneously take into account the change in the longitudinal smoothness of the road surface, visual condition, and the general modulus of elasticity at the operational stage of the road life cycle. Their absence leads to the impossibility of effective modelling of various scenarios of changes in the operational condition of the road when various kinds of control actions in the form of maintenance, repair and overhaul are carried out. …”

Numerical simulation and theoretical study on the impact of wind-sand flow of high-speed trains in long tunnel space by Shiqun Li, Sihui Dong, Yonghua Li, Liping Zhou

“…Secondly, both flows show asymmetric intrusion into the cabin due to the asymmetrical tunnel arrangement, but the sand particles in the wind-sand flow are affected by the vortices and tunnel walls, resulting in more asymmetric flow and some particles being trapped in the grids or filters, leading to outflow ρ Q  < inflow ρ Q . Under the wind-sand flow condition, the temperature of some equipment surfaces shows more significant increases than under the no-sand wind. …”
