Abstract:

It has proven difficult to describe the kinematics in irregular waves satisfactorily, in particular for the surface zone in broad-banded waves. A Lagrangian approach offers distinct advantages in this respect, eliminating the need for extrapolation of solutions or “stretching” of coordinates. This paper presents a model of irregular waves based on superposition of linear Lagrangian wave components, using an iterative method to obtain the Eulerian solution. This approach yields theoretically consistent results everywhere in the waves, and comparisons with wave flume measurements show good agree

Abstract:

With the rise of modern healthcare monitoring, heart rate (HR) estimation using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has gained attention for its non-contact, continuous tracking capabilities. However, most HR estimation methods rely on stable, fixed sampling intervals, while practical image capture often involves irregular frame rates and missing data, leading to inaccuracies in HR measurements. This study addresses these issues by introducing low-complexity timing correction methods, including linear, cubic, and filter interpolation, to improve HR estimation from rPPG signals under conditions

Abstract:

Dynamics of many complex systems, from weather and climate to spread of infectious diseases, can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs). Such PDEs involve unknown function(s), partial derivatives, and typically multiple independent variables. The traditional numerical methods for solving PDEs assume that the data are observed on a regular grid. However, in many applications, for example, weather and air pollution monitoring delivered by the arbitrary located weather stations of the National Weather Services, data records are irregularly spaced.

AbstractAlmost all Member States in the European Union currently make use, or in the past have made use of some form of regularisation of irregular immigrants, although to greatly varying degrees, in different ways and as a rule only reluctantly. A distinct feature of recent regularisations has been the shift towards a humanitarian justification of regularisation measures. In this context, regularisation has become reframed as an issue of the protection of irregular migrants’ human rights. As a result, regularisation has to some extent also been turned from a political tool in managing migrati

This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based methodology to address the Site-Specific Management Zone (SSMZ) delineation problem. A SSMZ is a subregion of a field that is homogeneous with respect to a soil or crop property, enabling farmers to apply customized management strategies for optimizing resource use. The algorithm generates optimized field partitions using rectangular zones, applicable to both regular and irregularly shaped fields.

AbstractAccording to many metricians, the original structure of the hexameter is based on the connection of two cola, not the recurrence of six dactyls. The time of the development of the first form into the second is, however, uncertain. The main evidence in favour of a pre-homeric rerhythmisation seems to consist in the fact that most of Homer can be read as metron-shaped verses. Although this seems certain, this certainty could result from a normalizing transmission of the 'Homeric' text. The history of irregular verses, such as the so-called lagaroi, offers some evidence that there were mo

Abstract:

Real-world applications often involve irregular time series, for which the time intervals between successive observations are non-uniform. Irregularity across multiple features in a multi-variate time series further results in a different subset of features at any given time (i.e., asynchronicity). Existing pre-training schemes for time-series, however, often assume regularity of time series and make no special treatment of irregularity. We argue that such irregularity offers insight about domain property of the data—for example, frequency of hospital visits may signal patient health condition

Abstract:

The accurate and timely detection of irregular behavior of substation personnel plays an important role in maintaining personal safety and preventing power outage accidents. This paper proposes a method for irregular behaviors detection (IBD) of substation personnel based on an improved YOLOv4 which uses MobileNetV3 to replace the CSPDarkNet53 feature extraction network, depthwise separable convolution and efficient channel attention (ECA) to optimize the SPP and PANet networks, and four scales of feature maps to fuse to improve the detection accuracy. First, an image dataset was constructed u

Abstract:

Abstract In this work, we demonstrate a flexible multi-pin plasma generator with movable electrodes, which can change the shape of the electrode array freely, and then provide a large-area uniform plasma for the treatment of surfaces of different shapes. Discharge characteristics including U–I waveforms and discharge images and sterilization performance under three different electrode configurations (flat–flat, flat–curve, curve–curve) are investigated. Very similar results are acquired between the flat–flat configuration and the curve–curve configuration, which is much better than that under

Abstract:

Abstract While the resistivity method offers clear advantages for detecting underground defects beneath urban roads, the complex surface conditions of these roads preclude the deployment of regular arrays. This complexity significantly challenges conventional resistivity detection methods for underground defects. This study designed a high-density resistivity detection observation system adaptable to the deployment of irregular arrays along urban roads. This method obtains high-dimensional apparent resistivity data and employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for its dimensionality reduction

Abstract:

AbstractManipulating on-chip optical modes via components in analogy with free-space devices provides intuitional light control, and this concept has been adopted to implement single-lens–assisted spot size conversion using integrated device. However, the reported schemes have been demonstrated only for fundamental mode, while high-order or irregular modes are preferred in specific applications. The 4-f system is widely used in Fourier optics for optical information processing. Under the inspiration of the 4-f system and the beam expander in bulk optics, a spot size converter (SSC) with two me

Abstract:

Across mammalian species, solute exchange takes place in complex microvascular networks. In the human placenta, the primary exchange units are terminal villi that contain disordered networks of fetal capillaries and are surrounded externally by maternal blood. We show how the irregular internal structure of a terminal villus determines its exchange capacity for diverse solutes. Distilling geometric features into three parameters, obtained from image analysis and computational fluid dynamics, we capture archetypal features of the structure-function relationship of terminal villi using a simple

This paper utilizes ANSYS-AQWA hydrodynamic simulation analysis software (2022 R2) to investigate the wave dissipation performance of an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) perforated floating breakwater under irregular wave conditions. The study examines the effect of spacing, width of the OWC opening, water depth, incident wave angle, and significant wave height on the wave dissipation performance of the floating breakwater. The results indicate that the wave dissipation performance of the OWC-perforated floating breakwater surpasses that of similar structures. The transmission coefficient is sig

Abstract:

Positioning and tracking a moving target from limited positional information is a frequently-encountered problem. For given noisy observations of the target’s position, one wants to estimate the true trajectory and reconstruct the full phase space including velocity and acceleration. The shadowing filter offers a robust methodology to achieve such an estimation and reconstruction. Here, we highlight and validate important merits of this methodology for real-life applications. In particular, we explore the filter’s performance when dealing with correlated or uncorrelated noise, irregular sampli

Semantic segmentation of remote sensing images remains challenging due to complex object structures and varying scales. This paper proposes a novel hybrid segmentation model that combines Segformer for global context extraction with Dynamic Snake Convolution to better capture fine-grained, boundary-aware features.
