Text to Realistic Image Generation with Attentional Concatenation Generative Adversarial Networks by Linyan Li, Yu Sun, Fuyuan Hu, Tao Zhou, Xuefeng Xi, Jinchang Ren

“…During training progress, we gradually add new layers and, at the same time, use the results and word vectors from the previous layer as inputs to the next layer to generate high-resolution images with photo-realistic details. Second, the deep attentional multimodal similarity model is introduced into the network, and we match word vectors with images in a common semantic space to compute a fine-grained matching loss for training the generator. …”

Research on the Safety Thickness of Tunnel Outburst Prevention in Water-Rich Fault Fracture Zone Based on Janssen’s Theory by Zuliang Zhong, Yapeng Li, Xiaohan Zhou

“…The results show that: (1) the calculation formula of outburst prevention thickness proposed in this paper is more perfect and shows good prediction effect for deep- and shallow-buried tunnels; (2) the greater the angle α between tunnel axis and fault zone and the dip θ of fault fracture zone, the smaller the critical safety thickness of outburst prevention and the safer it is for tunnel construction; (3) when the fault fracture zone inclines inward relative to the tunnel face, the gravity of the rock mass in the fault zone will lead to an increase in the safety thickness of outburst prevention, and reinforcement measures should be taken during actual construction.…”
