Causally-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Joint Communication and Sensing by Anik Roy, Serene Banerjee, Jishnu Sadasivan, Arnab Sarkar, Soumyajit Dey

“…Evaluation of the causally-aware RL framework in different JCAS scenarios shows the benefit of our proposed solution over baseline methods in terms of the higher reward. We have shown that in the presence of interfering users and sensing signal clutters, our proposed solution achieves 30% higher data rate in comparison to the communication-only state-of-the-art beam pattern learning method while maintaining sensing performance.…”

A case study on the flexural behaviour of sustainable recycled lump-aggregate concrete precast beams using inclined-crossed stirrups by Lang Lin, Bo Wu, Fangying Wang

“…The findings are as follows: (a) For the similar consumption of stirrup steel, precast beams with I-C stirrups exhibit flexural capacity and ductility equal to or slightly greater than those with traditional vertical stirrups, while the former also show smaller average crack spacing and maximum crack width; (b) Increasing stirrup spacing reduces the flexural ductility of beams with I-C stirrups, but their flexural capacity either remains unchanged (with no premature buckling of the compressive longitudinal bar) or decreases by less than 10 % (with premature buckling); (c) The use of RLs within the precast part has a limited effect on the flexural capacity and ductility of the beams; (d) The proposed method for judging premature buckling of the compressive longitudinal bar is reasonable, and the maximum allowable stirrup spacing derived from it could be employed as a reference for practical.…”
