Research on Coal-Rock Fracture Image Edge Detection Based on Tikhonov Regularization and Fractional Order Differential Operator by Chunsheng Liu, Chunping Ren

“…Aiming at the conventional image edge detection algorithm, the first-order differential edge detection method is easy to lose the image details and the second-order differential edge detection method is more sensitive to noise. To deal with the problem, the Tikhonov regularization method is adopted to reconstruct the input coal-rock infrared images, so as to reduce the noise interference, and then, the reconstructed image is transformed by gray level. …”

Probing non-standard neutrino interactions with supernova neutrinos at Hyper-K by Minjie Lei, Noah Steinberg, James D. Wells

“…We find that these constraints depend strongly on the neutrino mass hierarchy and if the NSSI is flavor-violating or preserving. Sensitivity to NSSI in the normal hierarchy (NH) at Hyper-K is limited by the experiment’s ability to efficiently detect νe, but deviations from no NSSI could be seen if the NSSI is particularly strong. …”

A Green Demand-Responsive Airport Shuttle Service Problem with Time-Varying Speeds by Ming Wei, Binbin Jing, Jian Yin, Yang Zang

“…The results demonstrate that the model not only selects an optimal depot for each AFV but also determines its route and timetable plan. A sensitivity analysis is also given to assess the effect of early/late arrival penalty weights and the number of AFVs on the model performance, and the difference in quality between the proposed and traditional models is compared.…”
