Digital twin based intelligent urban traffic forecasting and guidance strategy by Xiwen LIAO, Supeng LENG, Yujun MING, Tianyang LI

“…As the technology of ubiquitous Internet of things and artificial intelligence improves by leaps and bounds, the transportation system revolution is flourishing and bringing new opportunities and challenges.Considering the defect in the existing navigation system, and the neglect of the temporal and spatial characteristics of traffic flow, the macro traffic network and micro vehicle network were modeled and their coupling relationship was mined.Then, a digital twin based urban traffic forecasting and guidance method was proposed to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion.The spatial-temporal traffic flow information was predicted through the diffusion convolution recurrent neural network, which was explicitly applied to the vehicle path planning decision.On this basis, a spatial-temporal collaborative deep reinforcement learning method was proposed to implement the future-oriented collaborative path planning of vehicles.It also guided the underlying vehicle twins to select the optimal strategy for the real world.With SUMO for simulation verification, the experimental results show that the proposed method is significantly better than the existing algorithms in improving the travel completion ratio and congestion relief, and can improve the efficiency of urban traffic travel.…”

Gene Therapy for Parkinson's Disease by Rachel Denyer, Michael R. Douglas

“…These could be used to provide more consistent dopamine supplementation, potentially providing superior symptomatic relief with fewer side effects. More radically, gene therapy could be used to correct the imbalances in basal ganglia circuitry associated with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, or to preserve or restore dopaminergic neurons lost during the disease process itself. …”

Surface Plasmon-Induced Band Gap in the Photocurrent Response of Organic Solar Cells by Ribal Georges Sabat, Marcos Jose Leite Santos, Paul Rochon

“…A 260 nm layer of organic bulk heterojunction blend of the polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and the fullerene [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric (PCBM) was spin-coated in between aluminum and gold electrodes, respectively, on top of a laser inscribed azo polymer surface-relief diffraction grating. Angle-dependent surface plasmons (SPs) with a large band gap were observed in the normalized photocurrent by the P3HT-PCBM layer as a function of wavelength. …”

Study on the Method for Measuring Stress on Rock Mass Excavation Surface under Extremely High Stress Conditions by Kai Ai, Xinhui Zhang, Chao Zhou

“…In view of the limitations of several existing stress measurement methods under extremely high stress conditions (stress−strength ratio σ/Rc>0.5), this paper proposes a slot relief method based on partial deformation recovery to measure rock mass surface stress under extremely high stress conditions and justifies its viability with the help of an infinite element model. …”

Aspectos geológicos-geomorfológicos e os parâmetros morfométricos da rede de drenagem: uma análise e discussão sobre um sistema cárstico by Rafael Brugnolli Medeiros, Charlei Aparecido da Silva

“…To this end, we used references linking the morphometric analysis to the areal and linear issues of the drainages, in addition to the evaluation of the main components of the landscape, in the role of rocks and relief. The results found brought an important variation among the systems, the predominantly karstic sub-basins presented outstanding elements, such as low drainage and hydrographic density, increase in the maintenance coefficient, among other distinguishing elements. …”

Research on low-energy-consumption deployment of emergency UAV network for integrated communication-navigating-sensing by Li WANG, Qing WEI, Lianming XU, Yuan SHEN, Ping ZHANG, Aiguo FEI

“…In public emergencies such as accident relief, rescue workers are faced with challenges, such as poor communication, unstable navigating, and inaccurate disaster sensing.It is necessary to deploy an emergency unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network to guarantee the services of communication-navigating-sensing.Aiming at alleviating the problem of limited energy of UAV, a low-energy-consumption deployment of an emergency UAV network was first proposed for integrated communication-navigating-sensing (ICNS).The proposed scheme was able to realize network topology reconstruction and role cognition on demand.Then, a particle swarm algorithm based hierarchical matching decision-making algorithm was presented to jointly optimize three sub-problems, including the associations between UAVs and users, the resource allocation for multi-role UAV communications, and the UAV position.Simulation results show that the proposed ICNS scheme can achieve flexible adaptation of the multi-objective requirements and limited network resources, and dramatically reduce the demand for the number of UAVs and the deployment energy consumption.…”
