In body area network(BAN)environments,traditional access control models face challenges such as single points of failure,rigid permission structures,and limited support for dynamic authorization.To address these challenges,this study proposes a blockchain-based dynamic trust delegation access control model for BANs.To effectively reduce storage and computational overhead,a lightweight two-layer blockchain architecture is designed,in which global policy management is maintained on the main chain,while specific service operations are processed on the subchain.In addition,a multi-smart-contract access control framework is developed to enable the automated management and execution of delegated authorization.To support dynamic permission adjustment,a trust evaluation mechanism integrating identity credibility,behavioral history,and real-time physiological context is further introduced.Experimental results show that the proposed model significantly reduces permission verification delay and emergency access latency,improve the success rate of delegation operations,and effectively reduce storage overhead.Overall,the model provides secure,efficient,and flexible access control support for resource-constrained body area network environments.
To address the low efficiency and accuracy of manual testing in railway computer interlocking systems,this study proposes a deep learning-based method for text localization and recognition in interlocking interface images.First,a text localization model based on the connectionist text proposal network(CTPN)is developed.By comparing multiple backbone networks(ResNet50,AlexNet,ZF and VGG16),VGG16 is selected as the feature extractor to enhance high-level semantic representation and improve the detection of small text regions.Second,the generalization ability and robustness of the CTPN model are improved through performance comparison with common object detection models and the incorporation of dropout.A projection-based segmentation method,combining horizontal and vertical projections,is further employed to address text adhesion issues in the interface.Finally,an improved AlexNet model is used for text recognition.Experimental results on a railway interlocking interface dataset in the TensorFlow environment show that the proposed method achieves a localization accuracy of 87.98%,a recall of 73.33%,and an F-score of 80.39%,while the recognition accuracy reaches 89%.These results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively locate and recognize interface text,providing reliable data support for automated routing and test result analysis in interlocking system testing.
With the continuous expansion of water resource allocation projects,accurate electricity consumption forecasting is crucial for energy conservation,cost control,and construction efficiency.Traditional forecasting methods,such as long short-term memory(LSTM)networks and Transformers,often struggle to capture both short-term and long-term dependencies in complex time-series data.To address this challenge,this paper proposes an xLSTM(extended long Short-term memory)model for multi-regional power consumption forecasting.The xLSTM model combines the short-term dependency modeling capability of sLSTM with the long-term dependency learning capacity of mLSTM,enabling effective analysis of power consumption data across multiple regions while considering temporal correlations among regions.Experimental results show that xLSTM achieve superior predictive performance,with a mean square error(MSE)of 0.0030 and a mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.035,outperforming competing models.The proposed model provides effective technical support for precise electricity demand forecasting and offers practical value for decision-making and intelligent scheduling management in large-scale water resource allocation projects.
Traditional single-frame pose estimation methods in simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM)often suffer from cumulative errors,map misalignment,and trajectory drift due to unreliable inertial measurement unit(IMU)data and sparse point cloud features.To address these issues,this study proposes an enhanced pose estimation method based on multi-frame data fusion and optimized front-end scan matching.The proposed approach performs multi-frame fusion of LiDAR data by exploiting pose transformation relationships between consecutive frames.A weighted LiDAR-IMU fusion strategy is employed for pose prediction.During scan matching,statistical filtering is introduced to remove point cloud noise,and pose estimation is further refined through a secondary matching process.Experimental results demonstrate that,compared to mainstream conventional algorithms,the proposed method improves localization accuracy in real-world scenarios by 28.4%,30.1%,and 65.3%,respectively,effectively reducing cumulative errors and enhancing trajectory estimation accuracy and mapping quality.This study provides a novel solution for enhancing pose estimation accuracy and mitigating cumulative errors in mobile robots mapping and self-localization tasks.
To address the issues of high computational complexity and large parameter size in convolutional neural network(CNN)-based image dehazing,this study proposes a lightweight dehazing network(LDNet).First,the atmospheric scattering model is reformulated to directly suppress haze noise,thereby reducing cumulative errors in intermediate variable estimation.Second,a reverse residual network module with an attention mechanism(RNAM)is designed to extract multi-scale features while emphasizing critical semantic information,effectively reducing model complexity and parameter size.Finally,a joint loss function combining L1 smoothing loss and multi-scale structure similarity(MS-SSIM)loss is used to improve reconstruction quality.The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in terms of structural similarity and peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)on synthetic datasets,while also achieving effective dehazing performance on real-world images.In addition,the model exhibits reduced parameter size and improved computational efficiency.
Gas supply systems are generally not allowed to operate under leakage conditions;pipeline networks with extensive leakage after earthquakes must be shut down immediately for inspection and repair.However,under low seismic intensity or minor pipeline damage,complete shutdown is often impractical due to urban gas demand,and the system may operate under slight leakage conditions.To evaluate the reliability of gas supply networks under such conditions,this study integrates post-earthquake pipeline failure states with a leakage model for buried gas pipelines and establishes a hydraulic analysis model that accounts for leakage.A three-state failure probability model is coupled with Monte Carlo method to randomly generate post-earthquake pipeline failure states.The functional reliability of the gas supply network under specified seismic conditions is then evaluated using a"pressure-driven"hydraulic analysis method,and the service status of user nodes after the earthquake is quantified.Based on this framework,the functional reliability of a low-pressure gas supply network under different seismic intensities is analyzed through 1 000 Monte Carlo simulations.The case study results show that the system maintains high seismic reliability under Ⅵ and Ⅶ earthquakes,while reliability decreases significantly under Ⅷ earthquakes.These findings provide a scientific basis for prost-earthquake reliability assessment and repair planning of urban gas supply pipeline networks.
Previous studies have indicated that the sudden increase in jacking force and pipe sticking in the Guanjingkou rock pipe jacking project is closely associated with mud cake formation from crushed debris.To address this issue,acidic and alkaline solutions are applied on-site to corrode the mud cake and restore jacking progress.However,during the rainy season,these solutions may be transported backward by rainwater,potentially affecting subsequent pipe sections.To investigate whether the coexistence of karst water and acid and alkaline cleaning solutions influences the frictional characteristics of subsequent pipe sections,this study combines indoor direct shear tests,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and field monitoring.The frictional characteristics at the pipe-rock interface under different pH conditions and debris mixing scenarios are systematically investigated,and the effects of key factors on the friction coefficient are analyzed.By comparing predictions from the experimental model with field monitoring data,the reliability of the results is verified.The findings provide a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for friction control and pipe sticking mitigation in karst environments.
AC excitation motors offer advantages such as constant frequency under variable speed and decoupled power in steady-state operation,making them suitable for applications like pumped storage and flywheel energy storage.However,these applications demand rapid emergency braking under high-inertia loads,which traditional mechanical braking strategies fail to meet.This study proposes a flexible braking strategy and parameter optimization method for high-inertia AC excitation motors.First,based on rotor structural characteristics,the strategy connects the rotor to a DC excitation source and the stator to multi-stage resistors,and derives the equivalent braking circuit.Second,a braking parameter optimization model is established,with multi-stage braking resistance,rotor excitation current,and resistor switching speed as variables;motor ratings and resistor power limits serve as constraints;and the shortest braking time is set as the objective.The model is solved using a genetic algorithm.Finally,multi-stage resistance braking results and influencing factors are analyzed via Matlab/Simulink simulations,and a 7 kW AC excitation motor platform is used to verify the simulations.Results show that the proposed multi-stage flexible braking strategy effectively reduces braking time,and optimized parameters achieve minimal braking duration while satisfying system power constraints,balancing braking efficiency and device economy.
This study applies machine learning techniques to predict the international roughness index(IRI)of asphalt pavement using structural,performance,environmental,and traffic-related variables.Data were obtained from the long-term pavement performance(LTPP)database and Chinese pavement datasets,with 3 066 asphalt pavement sections(construction number=1)selected for analysis.Model parameters were optimized using cross-validation combined with grid search.Considering the selected factors,three machine learning models,namely artificial neural networks(ANN),support vector machines(SVM),and XGBoost,were employed to predict IRI.Their performance was evaluated using R²,root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute error(MAE).The results show that XGBoost achieved the best predictive performance(R²=0.96,RMSE=0.08,MAE=0.05).Feature importance analysis based on XGBoost indicates that the initial IRI is the most influential factor.These results show that XGBoost can accurately predict asphalt pavement IRI and provide a reference model for pavement management systems.
To overcome the limitations of conventional constant-speed control methods in extreme mountainous conditions,this paper proposes a variable-speed coordinated longitudinal-lateral control strategy based on the coupling characteristics of vehicle dynamics.The strategy adopts a hierarchical control structure.The upper layer develops a steady-state evaluation model to provide decision support for subsequent control layers.The middle layer primarily utilizes a two-level model predictive control(MPC)framework to coordinate potential conflicts among longitudinal four-wheel slip rates,lateral active front steering(AFS)and direct yaw control(DYC),and outputs the total driving torque and yaw moment.The lower layer employs a weighted least squares method to optimally distribute torque based on the vehicle's operating state.A simulation model is constructed using Simulink and CarSim to evaluate performance under various complex road conditions.Results demonstrate that the proposed strategy significantly improves the driving stability of distributed electric vehicles under variable speed extreme conditions.
Cycle mining can help people deeply understand the structure and function of complex networks,which is of great significance for practical application fields such as road traffic networks,bioprotein networks,financial and economic networks,etc.However,the massive data in the information age makes cycle mining extremely challenging.In response to the problem of large data volumes but relatively limited available data that cannot mine complete cycles,the concept of approximate cycle(AC)is defined,and the approximate cycle detection algorithm(ACD)and its optimization algorithm(IACD)are proposed.Both algorithms are divided into three stages:first,calculate hotpoints through vertex degree calculation;secondly,perform forward and backward searches on the dataset based on hotpoints to obtain hotpoints and their neighbors,and use this to construct an index(H-Index);finally,calculate the tightness coefficient and average tightness coefficient between different vertices based on H-Index,the path between vertex pairs with a tightness coefficient greater than the average tightness coefficient is an approximate cycle.The IACD algorithm has been optimized in two aspects based on the ACD algorithm.On the one hand,it increases the deduplication of vertices in the acquisition of hotpoints and their neighbors,while reducing the number of searches for data.On the other hand,it uses function vectorization instead of cyclic modification in the construction of indexes.The experimental data used are all real datasets of SNAP public website.The experimental results show that both algorithms can run smoothly on larger datasets and have good scalability and efficiency.The efficiency of the IACD algorithm is about 25%higher than that of the ACD algorithm.
Metal parts are widely used in various fields,and their surface defects usually distribute unevenly and some characteristics are weak,which often causes missing and false detection.To solve this problem,a YOLOv5s-MD algorithm is proposed.Aiming at the problem of complex features of metal surface defects,an improved spatial pyramid pooling module is introduced to improve the deep feature extraction for small targets of different sizes.To address the problem of feature dispersion and calculation increase,a lightweight attention mechanism and the GSConv module are added to improve the model's ability to effectively extract defect features at different sizes.For the boundary regression mismatch caused by irregular size information of metal surface defects,a loss function considering vector angle is adopted.The results show that the YOLOv5s-MD algorithm has an average accuracy of 75.3%in metal surface defect detection,which can effectively increase the detection accuracy and reduce the false detection rate for metal surface defects.
Multimodal lip recognition aims to enhance speech recognition accuracy and robustness by integrating lip movements and speech information,while also aiding specific user groups in communication.However,existing lip-speaking models predominantly focus on English datasets,leaving research on Chinese lip recognition in its nascent stage.Addressing challenges in handling data features across different modalities,integrating these features,and achieving comprehensive fusion of multimodal features,we propose a multimodal split attention fusion audio visual recognition(MSAFVR)model.Through experiments utilizing a Chinese Mandarin lip reading(CMLR)dataset,our model,MSAFVR,demonstrates significant advancements,achieving a remarkable 92.95%accuracy in Chinese lip reading,surpassing state-of-the-art Mandarin lip reading models.
As one of the mainstream direction finding schemes,correlative interferometer has many extraordinary advantages,such as low complexity computation,high accuracy,strong anti-interference etc.Besides,the uniform circular array can measure the azimuth angle and elevation angle simultaneously,and has the advantages of uniform direction finding accuracy and compact structure.Motivated by the above,this paper investigates the correlative interferometer direction finding using a uniform circular array.Since traditional electrical phase detectors are faced with some bottlenecks,such as bandwidth limitation,low frequency,electromagnetic interference etc.,a photonic phase detector scheme has been presented to measure the phase difference.A dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator(DPMZM)is adopted to construct an optical parallel interference structure which can estimate the phase differences by optical power measurement.The phase shift in DPMZM can be set to 0° and 180° by adjusting the DC bias.Then,the power of the output optical signal can be measured in both two cases.Besides,a Phase difference mapping function based on the ratio of optical power measurements has been proposed to improve the resolution of the power measurement and the estimation accuracy of the phase difference.Finally,the availability of the proposed scheme is investigated via experiments which shows that measurement error of phase difference is less than±1° from 0° to 360° and the angle-of-arrival estimation accuracy is less than 1.008 2°.
To investigate the stability evolution of mountainous slopes in karst regions,this study considers the deterioration of pipelines along the rear edge and sliding surface,as well as the weakening effects of water on structural planes.Taking planar sliding in karst mountains as the research object,two geological models and corresponding mechanical models are established,including unconnected and connected karst conduits.Based on cusp catastrophe theory,the stability coefficient(FOS)and critical stability coefficient(FOS*)of karst slopes under pipeline flow conditions are derived,and an energy-based criterion for abrupt instability is proposed.Results show that the displacement relationship between equilibrium and critical instability points can effectively determine the onset of slope failure.When conduits are unconnected,the presence of an additional stiffness coefficient k in the formulations of FOS and FOS* reveals that karst conduits influence slope stability.The stability coefficient is closely related to both k and pipeline deterioration coefficient m,showing their controlling roles in stability evolution.A case study of the Jiwei Mountain landslide verifies that the proposed energy criterion based on cusp catastrophe theory more accurately evaluates the stability of karst slopes with complex sliding surfaces,complementing the results of traditional limit equilibrium analysis.
To investigate the distortional buckling performance of castellated beams,six castellated beam specimens were subjected to static load at the mid-span.The corresponding failure modes,load-vertical displacement responses,and web deformed shape curves of specimens were obtained.The results indicate that all six specimens failed in a distortional buckling mode.Specifically,the compressive flange of the entire specimens exhibited an S-shaped curve upon failure.Meanwhile,out-of-plane bulging deformation occurred in the web post section at the mid-span loading location.With the increase of castellated beam length,both the initial stiffness of the load-vertical displacement curve and the critical distortional buckling capacity reduced.Results of the distortional buckling strengths obtained from the experiments were further compared with the predications calculated using the modified method suggested by AS4100,AISC,and Nethercot and Trahair.The comparison results show that the predications of the AS4100 method and the Nethercot and Trahair approach are in good agreement with the test results.
To improve vehicle utilization and maximize resource efficiency in road freight transportation,this paper proposes a vehicle-cargo matching method based on view similarity,following case-based reasoning(CBR)principles.First,vehicle and cargo information is formally represented using a knowledge description system,enabling initial classification and matching through vehicle CR attributes and cargo N attributes.Subsequently,K-means clustering is performed on the vehicle dataset,and Mahalanobis distance is used to determine the cluster most similar to the cargo to be matched,thereby reducing the search space.An enhanced view-similarity calculation method is then introduced,where Euclidean distance is used to measure similarity between the target cargo and vehicles within the selected cluster.Experimental results show that the proposed method yields higher discrimination in matching results,with a maximum similarity of 0.848.Moreover,vehicle loading rates are significantly improved,with matching efficiency increased by about 76%.This method offers an effective approach for optimizing vehicle-cargo allocation in full-truck-load scenarios.
This study investigates the release patterns of major cations from coal and gangue collected from the Pingdingshan mining area under various conditions,including particle size and solution chemistry,with the aim of elucidating the underlying mechanisms controlling mine water mineralization.Laboratory experiments were conducted to analyze ion release characteristics and pH evolution.The results show that particle size plays a critical role in controlling ion release and solution pH.Finer particles enhance the dissolution of aluminosilicates and carbonate materials in coal-bearing strata,leading to enhanced release of key ions such as Si4+and Al3+.Gangue is identified as the primary source of Si4+and Al3+,whereas coal predominantly contributes Ca2+;moreover,the presence of gangue suppresses the release of Ca2+.Ion release patterns in actual mine water differ from those observed in deionized water,with Ca2+and Mg2+concentrations in mine water mainly governed by coal.Overall,the findings demonstrate that the interactions between coal and gangue significantly impacts the geochemical evolution of mine water,while the initial solution environment primarily regulates the dynamics of ion release and pH changes.
This study aims to elucidate the effects of dissolved oxygen(DO)on aerobic granular sludge(AGS)systems treating influent with different organic matter concentrations.Two AGS reactors,i.e.R1(low organic load)and R2(high organic load),were operated under DO ranges of 4 mg/L to 6 mg/L and 2 mg/L to 4 mg/L to investigate differences in pollutant removal performance,microbial community structure,and functional gene profiles.The results show that after reducing the DO concentration maintained high removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand(COD)and total phosphorus(TP)in both reactors.Meanwhile,the rates of endogenous denitrification coupled with simultaneous nitrification increased by 17.54%and 7.05%in R1 and R2,respectively,with corresponding increases of 9.84%and 6.11%in their contribution to total nitrogen removal.Lower DO levels also induced shifts in microbial community structure,enriching functional microorganisms associated with nitrogen and phosphorus removal.In addition,the abundance of genes related to denitrification and intracellular carbon utilization increased,promoting enhanced nutrient removal performance in the AGS systems.Furthermore,DO variation exerted a more pronounced effect on the low-organic system(R1),indicating that more accurate DO control is required in such conditions for optimal operation.
