A Cost-Sensitive Small Vessel Detection Method for Maritime Remote Sensing Imagery by Zhuhua Hu, Wei Wu, Ziqi Yang, Yaochi Zhao, Lewei Xu, Lingkai Kong, Yunpei Chen, Lihang Chen, Gaosheng Liu

“…Secondly, we address the class imbalance between foreground (small vessels) and background in remote sensing imagery from two perspectives: the sensitivity of IoU metrics to small object localization errors and the innovative design of a cost-sensitive loss function. Specifically, at the dataset level, we select vessel targets appearing in the original dataset as templates and randomly copy–paste several instances onto arbitrary positions. …”

Application of a Microseismic Method of Rock Burst Risk Assessment under Blasting Mining in Ashele Copper Mine by Shida Xu, Xinlu Yang, Feifei Zhang, Jiaqi Liu

“…Based on the microseismic method for rock burst risk assessment that is used in tunnels, this paper presents a method of rock burst risk assessment for metal mines combining a simplified probability function and principal component analysis (PCA). Specifically, the size and details of key monitoring area and risk assessment units are determined according to the distribution of the fracture and driving stress during deep mining process. …”

Enhancing Cyber Resilience Through Traffic Generation Patterns in Complex Networks: A Study on Cascading Failures by B. Aymar Le Pere Tchimwa, Jean-Pierre Lienou, Wilson Ejuh Geh, Frederica Nelson, Sachin Shetty, Charles Kamhoua

“…Assuming the network includes a host-based restoration process as an inherent recovery mechanism that initiates after an incident, we compare the resilience of different network topologies (scale-free, regular lattice, and Erdőos-Rényi), by conducting computational experiments to assess the effect of various traffic generation patterns by placing hosts on high-degree, low-degree, or randomly selected nodes. This is done by developing a discrete mathematical framework for measuring cyber resilience as an integral of the critical function in discrete time steps. …”
