Latest ArticlesIn dense scenes, the frequent occurrence of occluded or small-scale pedestrian objects poses significant challenges to traditional object detection models, frequently leading to a high number of missed detections and false positives. In order to solve the problem of high false negative rate and false positive rate in pedestrian detection in such dense scenes, a novel dense scene pedestrian detection framework called ST-YOLO was proposed. Firstly, the low-level small object detection layer in YOLOv5's backbone network was integrated into the feature pyramid network and path aggregation network structure, adding a pedestrian detection layer for detecting small objects. Secondly, the neck network of YOLOv5 was improved by utilizing multi-scale global information based on Swin Transformer and local information extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNN) to construct aggregated features and enhance the network's feature extraction capability. And the SIoU (scalable IoU) loss function was introduced in the prediction process to accelerate the convergence speed of the model and improve detection capability. Finally, Soft NMS (soft non maximum suppression) was used instead of the original non maximum suppression (NMS) algorithm to reduce the problem of mistakenly deleting detection boxes during the non maximum suppression stage and lower the false alarm rate of the detection algorithm. A large number of experiments on the Wide Person dataset have shown that the improved ST-YOLO algorithm has improved accuracy and mAP0.5 by 5.7% and 3.6% respectively compared to the current mainstream YOLOv9 algorithm.
As large-scale fracturing in the development of deep shale gas results in rapid production decline, the accurate understanding of gas-liquid flow patterns is considered essential for stabilizing gas well production. Gas well models with two different wellbore trajectory structures were established, and OLGA software was applied to conduct transient calculations on models with varying tubing depths. The results indicate that in deep shale gas well A1, slug flow only occurs in the build-up section and above, while in well B1, slug flow appears in the horizontal section and near the build-up section. Considering cumulative gas production and liquid loading, the optimal tubing depth for deep shale gas wells A1 and B1 is at the heel of the horizontal section, while for conventional shale gas wells A and B, the optimal tubing depths are at the heel of the horizontal section and one-third of the horizontal section. Deep shale gas wells are more favorable for drainage and production compared to conventional shale gas wells.The optimal tubing setting depths for conventional shale gas wells with two deep formation wellbore configurations are at the horizontal section heel and the one-third point of the lateral, respectively. It is determined that deep shale gas wells are more advantageous for drainage and production compared to conventional shale gas wells. As the tubing size decreases, both the gas production and the corresponding critical gas flow rate for liquid carryover are reduced. It is also found that the greater the light hydrocarbon content in the shale gas composition, the higher the gas production. This study is intended to provide a reference for determining the rational tubing placement in the drainage and gas production processes of deep shale gas wells.
To investigate the annual variation characteristics of soil temperature around the medium-shallow coaxial tube ground heat exchanger, a two-dimensional unsteady heat transfer model for the medium-shallow coaxial tube ground heat exchanger was established. The model was solved based on the finite volume method and validated using experimental data from the project. The research findings indicate that under individual heating and cooling conditions, the circulation mode of outer-in and inner-out has a greater impact on soil temperature at a depth of 100 m, while the inner-in and outer-out mode has a more significant effect on soil temperature at a depth of 500 m. During summer conditions, reverse heat transfer is more likely to occur with the outer-in and inner-out circulation mode. At the end of the first winter (or summer) season, the thermal influence radius of the soil is less than 10 m, but this radius increases over time. At the end of one operational cycle, the soil temperature increases at depths shallower than approximately 300 m and decreases at depths deeper than approximately 300 m. Orthogonal experiments reveal that the inlet water temperature in both winter and summer has a notable impact on temperature fluctuations at a soil depth of 100 m, while the inlet water temperature in summer significantly affects temperature fluctuations at a soil depth of 500 m.
The current acupoint automatic positioning technology for massage robots is faced with issues such as dress restrictions, limited application scope, and poor positioning accuracy. A new method for human back acupoint positioning, based on back morphology classification and a multilayer perceptron network morphology classification-multilayer perceptron-based accurate point location(BMC-MPAPL) has been proposed. A substantial collection of diverse human back images, along with skeletal key point positioning techniques, kernel density estimation, and the maximum interclass variance approach, was used to investigate the statistical distribution and effective categorization of back morphologies. To counteract the restrictions imposed by clothing on positioning, a dataset encompassing key back points and the Dazhui acupoint was developed based on classification outcomes, and the automatic positioning of the Dazhui acupoint was accomplished through a deep learning model of the multi-layer perceptron network. Utilizing the Dazhui acupoint's positioning results, a human coordinate system was established, and the automatic positioning of 60 common back acupoints was achieved with the integration of ancient Chinese bone measurement methods. The results show that the Dazhui acupoint positioning model, tailored to various back morphologies, has realized high-precision positioning, with an average accuracy of 94.87% at an allowable error of 20 mm, marking a 13.37% enhancement over models without back classification. For other common back acupoints, the positioning accuracy stands at 91.58% within an allowable error of 20 mm, irrespective of patient attire or background constraints. It is concluded that the method presented effectively enhances the accuracy and applicability of acupoint automatic positioning.
With the rapid development of the power system, the large-scale integration of new energy into the grid and the coordinated optimization of source-grid-load-storage have increased the proportion of power electronic equipment, making the stability of the power grid, especially the assessment of transient stability, particularly important. Aiming at the problem of insufficient consideration of topological structure in traditional methods, a deep learning method based on Transformer-graph attention network(GAT) parallel feature fusion was proposed for the transient stability evaluation of power systems. The busbar voltage amplitude, phase angle and topological adjacentation matrix were taken as input features. Batch data were generated using the Siemens simulation software PSS/E, and features were extracted in parallel through Transformer and GAT. Weighted fusion was carried out using the attention mechanism. The comparison results with other methods show that this method simulates different load conditions and fault conditions in the IEEE 39-node system. The results indicate that the evaluation accuracy and robustness are relatively high, and it can effectively improve the safety and stability of the power system.
In order to study the influence of floating offshore wind power suction anchor size on the horizontal bearing capacity, based on the ABAQUS finite element software, a three-dimensional finite element model of suction anchor foundation was established by using elastic-plastic constitutive model. The results show that the increase of diameter and height can improve the horizontal bearing capacity of suction anchor, and the increase of height is more obvious. With the change of diameter and height, the position of the mooring point also needs to be adjusted accordingly. When the ratio of suction anchor diameter to height D/H>1, the position of the mooring point needs to be increased correspondingly to make it move in translation. The change of diameter will affect the pressure change of the anchor wall, while the height has little effect on the pressure change of anchor wall. The research results are used in global first offshore floating wind power + aquaculture platform “Guoneng Gongxiang Hao” and can provide a reference for relevant project design.
The previous structural seismic vulnerability analysis is generally based on the characteristics of the structure itself, it is rare to combine with the differences of engineering sites in the study area, the location differences of different engineering sites within the city are ignored. Taking Chengdu City as the research area and the three-story reinforced concrete frame structure as an example, an analysis method for the seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete frame structures based on peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the maximum inter-story displacement angle θmax of the structure was proposed. For three-story reinforced concrete frame structures, this method conducts dynamic time-history analysis using the interlayer shear model to obtain θmax under each seismic response. Then, logarithmic linear fitting is performed on θmax and its corresponding ground motion to obtain the relationship between the two. For the Chengdu area, this method takes the historical ground motion data of Chengdu as the data basis and combines PGA calculation formula to obtain the PGA of each engineering site location in Chengdu. Furthermore, taking the maximum inter-layer displacement angle as the structural damage index and PGA as the ground motion intensity index, the highest structural failure probabilities of the structure under four different performance levels of full operation, basic operation, life safety and near collapse were studied, which were 94.1%, 89.1%, 74.7% and 40.8% respectively. Moreover, the overall changing trend of the structural failure probability at each performance level of the structure decreases from the west to the east. Therefore, the seismic construction requirements for structures in the western region can be appropriately strengthened, and those for structures in the eastern region can be appropriately relaxed, so as to save economic costs. The proposed method has certain application value in reducing the losses caused by earthquakes and provides a certain theoretical basis for the seismic design of building structures.
Under the guidance of the full life cycle design concept, a scheme of moving the existing downspout pipe scheme to the reinforced concrete peripheral column was proposed. The main feature of this scheme is that the downspouts are pre-embedded into the surrounding columns and used for roof drainage during the building's service life. At the end of the building's lifespan, the downspouts were used to remove blast holes. To demonstrate the feasibility of this scheme, first of all, it was verified that the material and diameter of the embedded downspout could simultaneously meet the drainage function and the function of removing the blast hole. Secondly, by drawing on the axial embedded hole blasting technology of reinforced concrete beams and using the new type of blasting equipment, the long bag for loading explosives, the feasibility of using downspouts for blasting demolition was demonstrated from both the charge structure and the blasting operation aspects. Finally, the finite element analysis software ABAQUS was used to analyze the stress distribution and stress-strain laws when two types of cross-sectional peripheral columns were placed in four downspouts with different diameters. The analysis results show that when the hollow rate is small, the embedded pipe has little influence on the specimens. In order to avoid significant impact on the peripheral columns, the hollow rate of the specimens should not be greater than 2%. In combination with the requirements of blasting demolition, the hollow ratio should not be less than 0.18% either. Subsequently, it was pointed out that the relay service duration of pipes and concrete holes is sufficient to reach the building's life cycle. Finally, it is clarified that after the downspout is built in, it can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building and avoid the safety risk of thieves climbing along the downspout. Therefore, it is feasible to insert reinforced concrete peripheral columns into the downspout pipe.
The development of hydrogen-powered aircraft is a key strategy for the aviation industry to achieve carbon neutrality. Compared to high-pressure gaseous hydrogen, cryogenic liquid hydrogen will be the main fuel for future hydrogen-powered commercial aviation. However, the occurrence of cavitation in liquid hydrogen during transport has the potential to result in an unstable or even interrupted fuel supply to the engine, which could ultimately lead to catastrophic risks to flight safety. Using numerical simulation method, based on homogeneous mixed flow model, Navier-Stokes (RANS) method and Zwart cavitation model, the cavitation flow characteristics and development law of liquid hydrogen in aircraft transport pipelines were deeply studied, and partially compared with normal temperature water. The results show that the cavitation number, the outlet/inlet pressure ratio, and the length/diameter ratio have a significant influence on the occurrence and development of cavitation. The condensation process of liquid hydrogen is considerably slower than the evaporation process. The effect of the cavitation number on the evaporation process is minimal, but it has a significant effect on the maximum condensation rate. The critical pressure ratio for the disappearance of cavitation in liquid hydrogen is lower than in water. At the same pressure ratio, water cavitates more easily than liquid hydrogen, with a greater number of cavitation bubbles and a thicker cavitation region. Reducing the length/diameter ratio can inhibit the occurrence and development of cavitation in liquid hydrogen. It is recommended that the diameter of the contraction section be increased to achieve a higher outlet flow, rather than shortening the length of the pipeline.
With the expansion of the Internet scale and changes in its topological structure, network management is facing huge challenges. Segment routing (SR) protocols, especially SRv6(segment routing over IPv6), have become a research hotspot due to their high programmability and scalability. The path optimization control mechanism based on SRv6 solves the problem of avoiding and relaying specific nodes in multiple demands and scenarios to improve network performance. A path transfer scheme for fully deployed SRv6 networks was proposed, and the routing overhead was reduced through the optimization of forked paths. For some deployment networks, define the critical path and design the avoidance and relay path forwarding scheme to optimize the path forwarding efficiency. The experimental results show that when SRv6 is fully deployed, the optimization scheme can effectively reduce the depth of the segment list and the routing overhead. In some deployment networks, only a small number of SRv6 nodes can achieve performance close to that of a full SRv6 network, successfully solving the problem of evading and relaying specific nodes. The research results provide effective support for the application of SRv6 in different network deployments.
