Transparent memory tests with even repeating addresses for storage devices by V. N. Yarmolik, I. M. Mrozek, V. A. Levantsevich, D. V. Demenkovets

“…The maximum diagnostic ability of new tests is shown for the case of the simplest faults, such as constant (SAF) and transition faults (TF), as well as for complex pattern sensitive faults (PNPSFk). There is a significantly lower time complexity of the March_pA_1 and March_pA_2 tests compared to classical transparent tests, which is achieved at the expense of less time spent on obtaining a reference signature. …”

Adaptive Gap-Filling of Multispectral Images at Coarse and Fine Spatial Resolution by Seyedkarim Afsharipour, Li Jia, Massimo Menenti, Hamid Reza Ghafarian Malamiri

“…The specific combination of methods is orchestrated to adapt to each image, mainly on the basis of the fractional abundance and spatial pattern of cloud cover. To evaluate the performance, experiments were conducted using MODIS (coarse-resolution) and Landsat/OLI (fine-resolution) images with artificial gaps (10% &#x2013;90% ) introduced at varying positions in cloud-free reference images. …”

Spatiotemporal Stability Responses of Tunnel Excavation Under Cyclical Footage Impact: A FLAC^3D-Based Numerical Study by Shang Li, Bing Dai, Yuzhou Hou, Danli Li

“…The simulation results reveal that each cyclical footage scenario produces a “segmental decline” pattern in tunnel displacement. Unlike shallow tunnels, where peak displacement typically occurs near the tunnel face, in deep tunnels the maximum Y-direction displacement appears at the center of the excavation face. …”
