Traffic noise in big cities impacts the people who live and work in high-rise buildings alongside arterial roads. To determine this impact magnitude, this paper proposes and validates a microscopic level method that locally predicts the total noise level and the spectral characteristics of traffic f...

IntroductionLaryngeal high-speed video (HSV) is a widely used technique for diagnosing laryngeal diseases. Among various analytical approaches, segmentation of glottis regions has proven effective in evaluating vocal fold vibration patterns and detecting related disorders. However, the specific task...

The grid-connected inverters (GCIs) controlled by traditional Current-Source Mode (CSM) and Voltage-Source Mode (VSM) face challenges in simultaneously meeting the requirements for small-signal stability, power-response, and grid-support. The CSM-controlled GCI excels in small-signal stability and p...

Knowledge of different effects of various organic materials on soil humic substance is important for both environmental safety and sustainable agriculture. A pot experiment was conducted at Jilin Agricultural University, Jilin Province in northeast China to discover the influence of herb residue, an...

To enhance the foaming properties of soy protein isolate (SPI), SPI was subjected to ball milling at varying ball-to-material ratios (8:1, 14:1, and 20:1) for 150 min at a rotational speed of 96 r/min, using untreated SPI as a control. Effects of ball milling on the structural and foaming properties...

Emotion recognition by wearable devices is essential for advancing emotion-aware human–computer interaction in real life. Earphones have the potential to naturally capture brain activity and its lateralization, which is associated with emotion. In this study, we newly introduced tympanic membrane te...

A deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based power allocation method is proposed to achieve a low probability of intercept (LPI) in a netted synthetic aperture radar (SAR). To provide a physically meaningful and intuitive assessment of a netted radar for LPI performance, a netted circular equivalent vu...

Extensive evidence supports that global climate change influences shifts in species habitats due to alterations in hydrothermal conditions; however, neglecting dispersal capacities and limits significantly heightens uncertainties regarding spatial distribution patterns among different organisms. Thi...

A reliable ocean surface current (OSC) estimate is difficult to retrieve from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data due to the challenge of accurately partitioning the Doppler shifts induced by wind waves and OSC. Recent research on SAR-based OSC retrieval is typically based on the assumption that the...
