Link-adaptive edge-cloud inference for UAV-based plastic mulch residue assessment

Plastic mulch residue assessment from UAV imagery is jointly constrained by segmentation accuracy, end-to-end latency and uplink bandwidth, since onboard inference loses boundary fidelity on fragmented film while cloud inference is throttled by the link, and these constraints hav...

Moisture Migration and Variation in Pile Shaft Resistance During Hydration-Heat-Induced Thawing–Refreezing Around Cast-in-Place Piles in Permafrost

The shaft resistance of cast-in-place piles in permafrost regions is commonly estimated using the initial moisture content and frozen-soil strength parameters obtained during site investigation. However, concrete hydration heat disturbs the temperature field of the surrounding fr...

Urban Resilience Capacity Assessment and Key Factor Contribution Analysis in the Northern Slope of Tianshan Mountains Urban Agglomeration: Based on the XGBoost Model

Addressing the issue of ecological vulnerability and against the backdrop of urban expansion in arid regions, this study constructs a composite urban resilience capacity index (CURCI) for the urban agglomeration on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains and examines its sp...

PEMTCL: A Prompt-Enhanced Multi-Task Contrastive Learning Framework for Fine-Grained Toxic Language Detection

Fine-grained toxic language detection aims to assess the harmfulness, expression style, and attack target of textual content, supporting refined content moderation on online platforms. Most existing methods model each subtask independently, failing to exploit semantic correlation...

Spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation microphysical characteristics over the Tianshan Mountains based on GPM/DPR observations

Using monthly mean Level-3 GPM/DPR products from March 2014 to February 2023, this study systematically investigates the spatial distribution, vertical structure, and microphysical characteristics of stratiform and convective precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains. The results...

Coupling Effects of Texture Density and Counterpart Material Hardness on the Dry Sliding Friction of TC4 Titanium Alloy

Circular microtextures with area densities of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were fabricated on TC4 titanium alloy surfaces and tested under dry sliding conditions against four counterpart balls of varying hardness (Brass, SUS304, AISI 52100, and K20). Through coefficient of friction (COF...

Comparative evaluation of Bacillus and Lactobacillus in cottonseed hull fermentation

Abstract Microbial fermentation is an effective approach to improving the nutritional value of cottonseed hulls and alleviating feed resource shortages. However, the interaction mechanisms between Bacillus and Lactobacillus within fermentation systems remain unclear. In this stud...

Analysis of the Composition and Thermogravimetric Kinetics of Vacuum Residue from Karamay

Vacuum residue (VR) is one of the more difficult heavy fractions to process in petroleum refining, and the development of clean utilization technologies for vacuum residue has become a major research focus in the petrochemical industry. This paper discusses the compositional and...

The Complex Advertisement Call Characteristics of Pelophylax terentievi May Convey Physical Information

Advertisement calls convey individual information and play a vital role in amphibian reproduction. Body size is one of the key factors determining the diversity of frog advertisement calls. P. terentievi is distributed in mountainous areas across Tajikistan and Xinjiang, China. H...

Species Diversity and Elevational Patterns of Saxicolous Lichens in the Eastern Pamir Plateau, China

Saxicolous lichens are crucial elements of alpine ecosystems and are involved in soil formation, rock weathering, nutrient cycling, and environmental monitoring. However, little is known about their distribution patterns and diversity on the eastern Pamir Plateau of China. This s...

LRM-YOLO: A Lightweight YOLOv10n-Based Model for Forest Fire Smoke Detection in UAV Images

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gradually become an important tool for forest fire monitoring due to their flexibility and wide-area observation capability. However, existing detection algorithms still struggle to achieve a balance between computational comp...
