WPD-Based Noise Reduction for Microseismic Data Through Adaptive Coefficient Shrinkage and Multi-Basis Fusion by Yaqi Zhang, Zhiqiang Lan, Zheng Shi, Yuhang Xue, Jie Wang, Kun Zhu, Jian He, Xiujian Chou

“…Firstly, this method utilizes energy filtering to eliminate noise that is not temporally correlated with microseismic waveforms, then employs time-varying thresholds to refine the edges of these waveforms, effectively leveraging time and amplitude information to preserve the details of waveform edge. Secondly, a short-time feature analysis is conducted based on denoising results from various wavelet bases, implementing time-varying weights, and enhancing noise suppression while retaining waveform information. …”

Study on the Influence of LED Spectrum on the Visual and Nonvisual Effects in the Interior Zone of Tunnels by Li-Li Dong, Peng Liu, Qi Lou, Wen-Hai Xu

“…Therefore, this paper suggests that the LED with high CCT and high CRI (CCT = 6500 K, CRI2012 = 95) should be used in the interior zones of the tunnel with relatively short lighting section, and the CCT and CRI should be appropriately reduced in other road environments with long lighting section to reduce the impact of spectrum on nonvisual photobiology, so as to improve road traffic safety.…”
