Stiffness Determination of Backfill-Rock Interface to Numerically Investigate Backfill Stress Distributions in Mine Stopes by Guangsheng Liu, Xiaocong Yang, Lijie Guo

“…Moreover, the plotting methods of stress distributions and the coefficient of lateral earth pressure of backfill in simulated stopes with proposed interface stiffness were discussed to further clarify the reasonable methods to investigate the backfill stresses in mine stopes, especially after considering the effects of the convergence from rock walls, which is a very significant and common phenomenon in practical mining engineering.…”

Survey algorithm for cold and hot water supply systems of residential buildings by N. A. Makisha, V. A. Chukhin

“…When laying pipes in parallel in a horizontal plane, it is necessary to bypass the pipes located next to the risers, which leads to the appearance of U-shaped or U-shaped contours of horizontally laid pipes. The most obvious reason for abnormally rapid corrosion in horizontally arranged pipelines with a U-shaped connection scheme of risers is the low speed of water movement. …”

The New Approach Research on Singing Voice Detection Algorithm Based on Enhanced Reconstruction Residual Network by Lilin Liu

“…Traditional feedforward neural networks are prone to lose local information when extracting singing voice features. For this reason, on the basis of fully considering the impact of information persistence in the network propagation process, this paper proposes an enhanced two-stage super-resolution reconstruction residual network which can effectively integrate the learned features of each layer while increasing the depth of the network. …”

Experimental Study on Seepage Properties of Postpeak Fractured Rocks under Cyclic Loading-Unloading Confining Stress and Axial Stress by Xiaobo Zhang, Zuhao Xia, Chi Yao, Jianhua Yang, Mingdong Yang

“…Excavation in rock masses always encounters safety problems from rock fracture seepage in water-rich areas, which needs to be paid much attention, especially for fractured rocks under complicated stress state. For this reason, the permeability of fractured sandstone and granite is experimentally investigated under cyclic loading-unloading confining stress and axial stress. …”

Innovative segmentation technique for aerial power lines via amplitude stretching transform by Pengfei Xu, Nor Anis Asma Sulaiman, Yafei Ding, Jiangwei Zhao

“…Abstract Accurate segmentation of power line targets helps quickly locate faults, evaluate line conditions, and provides key image data support and analysis for the safe and stable operation of the power system.The aerial power line in segmentation due to the target is small, and the imaging reflected energy is weak, so the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aerial power line image is very susceptible to the interference of the environment line elements and noise, resulting in the detection of the power line target in the image of the defective, intermittent, straight line interferences and other low accuracy and real-time efficiency is not high. For this reason, this paper designs a pure amplitude stretching kernel function to form a Fourier amplitude vector field and uses this amplitude vector field to implement the stretching transformation of the amplitude field of the aerial power line image, so that the angular field after the Fourier inverse transformation can better react to the spatial domain line targets, and finally, after the Relative Total Variation (RTV) processing, the power line can be well detected. …”

Siponimod supports remyelination in the non-supportive environment by Johann Krüger, Newshan Behrangi, David Schliep, Leo Heinig, Elise Vankriekelsvenne, Nicole Wigger, Markus Kipp

“…Although remyelination is thought to protect axons, endogenous regenerative processes are often incomplete or fail entirely in many MS patients. While the precise reasons for remyelination failure remain unclear, repeated demyelination in previously affected white matter regions is a recognized contributing factor. …”

Impact of distortions in UAV images on quality and accuracy of object localization by Rostyslav Tsekhmystro, Oleksii Rubel, Oleksandr Prysiazhniuk, Vladimir Lukin

“…However, the intensity of the noise and distortions that can be considered acceptable, i.e. such that they do not lead to radical reduction of the performance characteristics are unclear. Given this, it is reasonable to investigate the impact of these effects on the quality of object localization and classification using a reliable data size and various noise/distortion intensities. …”

Correcting the Cognitive Bias for Commuting Time to Relieve the Driving Stress Level in Snow Weather Condition: A Naturalistic Driving Study in Harbin, China by Zifeng Yang, Zhenwu Shi, Di Lu, Jie Liu

“…The results showed that participants’ stress levels had significantly increased in snow weather conditions, especially nervous and stressed feeling, and unable to control the arrival time, which indicated that participants’ highly increased cognitive bias for commuting time could be the critical reason. The results of hierarchical linear regression models indicated that overall stress scores could be predicted through participants’ sociodemographic characteristics, driving experience, commuting driving, and cognitive bias for commuting time. …”
