The response characteristics and stability evaluation of vegetated slope under strong wind by Yanlin Liu, Fei Wang, Feng Ji, Lianhua Zhang, Jianjun Zhao, Chen Zheng, Jibin Chen

“…At wind forces ≥ 13 (typhoon: 37.0–41.4 m/s), vegetation exerts a negative influence under the combined action of strong wind loads. (2) Based on the experimentally determined evolution of soil strength parameters, a formula c (v, w) was fitted to express the variation of cohesion with wind speed (v) and moisture content (w). (3) The optimized evaluation model demonstrates increased sensitivity compared to the traditional model, resulting in a 17.88% increase in sliding force and a 10.62–11.64% increase in anti-sliding force. …”

The Impact of Air–Sea Flux Parameterization Methods on Simulating Storm Surges and Ocean Surface Currents by Li Cai, Bin Wang, Wenqian Wang, Xingru Feng

“…Our results quantify how the wind stress drag coefficient’s formulation alters atmosphere–ocean feedback, with wave-state aware schemes exhibiting superior surge prediction accuracy compared to wind-speed-dependent approaches. Specifically, a larger wind stress drag coefficient leads to increased atmospheric bottom stress and sea surface stress, resulting in weaker winds and larger sea surface currents and storm surges. …”

Federated deep reinforcement learning-based urban traffic signal optimal control by Mi Li, Xiaolong Pan, Chuhui Liu, Zirui Li

“…The proposed method improves the model generalization ability of different local models during global cross-region distributed joint training under the premise of ensuring information security and data privacy, solves the problem of non-independent and homogeneous distribution of environmental data faced by different agents in real intersection scenarios, and significantly accelerates the convergence speed of the model training phase. By reasonably designing the state, action and reward functions and determining the optimal values of several key parameters in the federated collaboration mechanism, the RL model could ensure high learning efficiency and fast convergence in the face of the gradual increase of road network size and the exponential increase of state and action space with the number of intersections. …”
