    Aiming at the problem of resolution mismatch in person recognition caused by variations in camera imaging conditions and environmental factors in real-world scenarios, a person re-identification network integrating wavelet-based super-resolution and dual-domain feature fusion was proposed. Wavelet decomposition was introduced to separate image features into structural and detail components, and wavelet convolution was employed to enlarge the receptive field and strengthen structural feature extraction. In the wavelet domain, differentiated loss functions were designed for high- and low-frequency subbands to guide the reconstruction of more discriminative super-resolution images. An attention mechanism was used to enhance the structural features of super-resolution images, and the enhanced features were gate-fused with structural features in the wavelet domain to construct a joint representation containing richer structural cues. Simulation results showed that the proposed method outperformed the mainstream methods in recognition performance. On the challenging CAVIAR dataset, the probability of the first correct matching of person images reached 67.8%, which effectively improved person re-identification under cross-resolution conditions.

    Contract risk detection helped prevent project risks and protect rights, improving the efficiency of contract review. However, existing methods still faced limitations in understanding the complex semantics of contract texts and extracting multi-scale features, which made it challenging to balance global semantic relations with the capture of local key information. This study proposed a novel multi-channel BERT-based pretraining method for contract text detection. The BERT pretraining model was utilized to extract the global features of the text, while a multi-channel convolution module was designed to capture multi-scale local features. An integrated attention mechanism adaptively learned the weight distribution between global and local features, enabling the precise extraction of key information from the text. On a publicly available contract text dataset, the proposed algorithm improved the contract risk classification accuracy by 4.6% compared to existing popular methods, validating the effectiveness of the proposed model. The model integrated the advantages of BERT pretraining, multi-channel convolution modules, and attention mechanisms, offering new research ideas and technical support for the field of text detection, with broad application prospects and significant practical value.

    To fully utilize the resources within the Internet of Vehicles system when applying edge computing, and reduce the delay, energy consumption and processing costs required for task processing, an offloading algorithm in edge computing for Internet of Vehicles based on graph neural network and deep reinforcement learning was proposed. The task offloading problem was modeled as a Markov decision process to minimize the average delay and energy consumption for task processing. By leveraging the global feature learning capability of graph neural network, the originally independent vehicle entities were integrated into a cohesive whole, enabling each vehicle to make rational offloading decisions. Simulation results showed that, compared with local computing, full offloading, random decision, and double deep Q-network, the proposed algorithm reduced average delay by approximately 88.9%, 49.9%, 27.6%, and 9.4%, respectively, and reduced average costs by approximately 74.5%, 46.1%, 26.3%, and 6.2%, respectively. Compared with full offloading, random decision, and double deep Q-network, the proposed algorithm reduced average energy consumption by approximately 43.6%, 25.4%, and 4.2%, respectively.

    To address the core challenges such as the difficulty in obtaining large scale labeled data, high costs, and data scarcity in animal pose estimation, a semi-supervised animal pose estimation method based on pseudo-labels and consistency training(Pcapose)was proposed to enhance the model's performance and generalization ability under limited labeled data conditions. An initial model was trained based on the initial labeled data. By jointly using a large amount of unlabeled data, a triple mechanism was constructed to improve the quality of pseudo-labels and the robustness of the model. A confidence driven pseudo-label screening strategy was adopted to select samples with low loss and high confidence to expand the training set. A multi-view consistency detection mechanism was introduced to integrate perturbation information from geometry, illumination, and feature space for re-evaluating and screening samples with high loss and low confidence. A teacher-student consistency framework was built to ensure the teacher model provided stable and accurate pseudo-labels. The experimental results on the AP-10K and Grévy's Zebra datasets showed that Pcapose significantly outperformed existing semi-supervised methods in terms of key point detection accuracy and model robustness, demonstrating superior performance in data scarce scenarios.

    Aiming at the problem that traditional static models could not effectively address the personalization and dynamic changes in human activity recognition, a dual dynamic weighted ensemble(DDWE)method for personalized human activity recognition was proposed. By integrating multiple concept drift detection techniques with adaptive mechanisms of base classifiers, real-time detection and adaptive learning of user personalized activities in dynamic data streams were enabled. A weight matrix updating strategy based on class probability and KappaM was designed to dynamically adjust the weights of base classifiers from the perspectives of class confidence and recognition ability, improving the adaptability and accuracy of the ensemble classifier in user-specific recognition tasks. Experiments conducted on several public human activity recognition datasets showed that DDWE method outperformed existing approaches and demonstrated clear advantages in personalized human activity recognition, providing guidance and reference for related fields such as medical monitoring, sports rehabilitation, and intelligent elderly care.

    Aiming at the issue of jointly optimizing spatial and frequency domain features and preserving global structural consistency during upsampling in image inpainting, a spatial-frequency domain information guided algorithm for image inpainting was proposed. Through three core stages of downsampling, joint feature extraction, and upsampling, the deep integration of spatial and frequency domain information was realized. In the downsampling stage, a frequency domain information-guided downsampling module was designed to preserve key structural information using frequency features. In the joint feature extraction stage, a spatial-frequency domain joint feature extraction module was introduced, employing a dual-branch parallel architecture to separately extract multi-scale local spatial features and global frequency domain features based on fast Fourier transform, realizing a synergistic representation of local details and global structures through feature fusion. In the upsampling stage, a frequency domain information-guided upsampling module was introduced, combining the advantages of sub-pixel convolution and bilinear interpolation while introducing frequency domain features to enhance the consistency of global structures, effectively balancing the delicacy and naturalness of the inpainting results. Experimental results on the CelebA-HQ, Places2, and Paris StreetView datasets demonstrated that the proposed method outperformed existing approaches in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index measure, and learned perceptual image patch similarity, effectively enhancing the texture coherence and visual authenticity of image inpainting.

    To address the significant decline in federated learning training efficiency caused by computational heterogeneity among industrial Internet of Things devices, an efficient and secure blockchain-based federated learning framework was proposed. The dynamic client selection algorithm and reputation management mechanism were designed to screen out reliable and high-performance devices to participate in each round of training. The main-subchain blockchain architecture was introduced to enhance transaction verification efficiency while reducing storage costs. A deep learning-based method was utilized to dynamically adjust the block size to balance blockchain performance across different federated learning phases, thereby enabling more stable and efficient blockchain operations. Experiments on public datasets demonstrated that the client selection algorithm achieved near-optimal performance, blockchain storage costs were optimized to less than 66% of conventional approaches, and latency prediction performance outperformed existing approaches. Experimental evaluations and result analyses demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed framework, which was equally applicable to other application scenarios characterized by device computational heterogeneity.

    To address the semantic mismatch between retrieval results and user needs in existing retrieval-augmented generation methods when handling complex questions requiring multi-hop reasoning, a query decomposition driven iterative retrieval augmented generation method was proposed, termed QD-RAG. This mismatch arised from the lack of hierarchical analysis of query structures in conventional RAG methods. In the proposed framework, a query decomposition module first processed user queries in a structured manner: single-hop questions were analyzed from multiple dimensions using a chain-of-thought strategy, whereas multi-hop questions were decomposed progressively in a layer-by-layer manner. Subsequently, an iterative retrieval module driven by large language models performed multiple rounds of contextual retrieval, which improved the precision of retrieved knowledge and enabled the generation of high-quality answers. Experimental results showed that QD-RAG effectively reduced hallucinations during generation and significantly improved accuracy in single-hop, multi-hop, and out-of-domain question-answering tasks.

    To address the low efficiency, subjectivity, and poor adaptability to complex backgrounds of traditional manual observation and threshold-based methods in potato pollen microscopy image segmentation and counting, a pollen segmentation method integrating the convolutional block attention module(CBAM)and U-Net(CBAM-U-Net)was proposed. Built on the U-Net framework, the CBAM was introduced to improve the extraction of key features and edge details in pollen regions, while median filtering and histogram equalization were applied for image preprocessing. Experiments on 44 high-resolution potato pollen images and more than 5 000 microscopic images showed that the proposed method achieved accurate pollen segmentation, improved segmentation efficiency by about five times over traditional methods, and demonstrated good robustness and generalization ability on large-scale datasets. The proposed method could improve the automation and accuracy of potato pollen microscopy image analysis and provide technical support for microscopic image analysis in crop breeding, cell biology, and precision agriculture.

    To address the issues of insufficient information in single-modal data, weak noise resistance, and poor cross-condition adaptability in bearing fault diagnosis under complex working conditions, an enhanced diagnostic model(DPCA-MFF)based on dynamic principal component analysis(DPCA)and multimodal feature fusion(MFF)was proposed. The DPCA was applied to adaptively reduce data dimensionality, removing noise while retaining essential features, and combined time-domain statistics with fast Fourier transform(FFT)to extract time-frequency features. Bidirectional gated recurrent unit(BiGRU)and residual network(ResNet)were employed to capture long-term temporal dependencies and spatial features from time-frequency images, respectively, with multi-head self-attention mechanisms applied to enhance feature representation. Cross-attention mechanism was introduced to dynamically fuse multimodal features. Noise interference experiments on the CWRU dataset showed that the proposed model maintained an average recognition rate above 99% under ten different types of fault signals. Under variable-speed cross-condition scenarios, the proposed model achieved an average diagnostic accuracy rate of 98.1% for fault signals of different rotational speeds and health conditions, outperforming single-modal models by about 4 to 6 percentage points and the convolutional neural network(CNN)-gated recurrent unit(GRU)fusion model by 1.7 percentage points. Even at a noise level of 1.0, the accuracy rate remained at 65.8%, which demonstrated strong performance across various noise types. The experimental results indicated that the proposed model effectively extracted comprehensive fault features through dynamic denoising, attention enhancement, and multi-modal fusion, significantly improving the noise immunity and cross-condition adaptability under complex conditions, offering a robust solution for intelligent maintenance of industrial equipment.

    This study investigated the influence of steel reinforcement corrosion on the load-bearing performance of concrete linings. Pull-out tests were conducted to examine the effect of corrosion rate on the bond behavior between steel reinforcement and concrete. Based on the experimental results, numerical simulations were performed to model the bond-slip behavior between corroded steel bars and concrete. Concurrently, a tunnel load-bearing model was employed to analyze the degradation pattern of tunnel bearing capacity under reinforcement corrosion. The results indicated that the critical corrosion rate range for the combination of C40 concrete and HRB400 steel bars was further narrowed from 1%-3% to 1%-2%. An isometric pull-out model based on ABAQUS accurately predicted the bond-slip behavior under corrosion conditions. Furthermore, the tunnel load-bearing model revealed that when corrosion occurred at the right arch springing position, the surface stress on the left side of the tunnel lining remained essentially unchanged, whereas the stresses at the right arch shoulder and right arch haunch first decreased and then increased with increasing corrosion rate. The surface stress at the right arch springing initially increased and then decreased. The tunnel load-bearing model also demonstrated that reinforcement corrosion exceeding 1% at the right arch springing deteriorated the tunnel's bearing capacity. It was predicted that when the corrosion rate of the reinforcement at this location reached 15%, the safety factors at the left and right arch springings and the right arch haunch would fall below the required value of 2.0 as specified in the relevant code, indicating a loss of safe load-bearing capacity.

    In order to quantitatively analyze the distribution patterns of water pressure in the initial support after tunnel excavation,this study established a fluid-solid coupling three-dimensional numerical model to investigate the distribution characteristics of water pressure in the surrounding rock around and ahead of the tunnel face under various conditions, including the number of advance drainage pipes, the scope of zoned grouting, and different prevention and control measures.The research results indicated,after implementing advance drainage measures, a interconnected "funnel-shaped" low-pressure zone gradually forms in the surrounding rock under continuous dewatering. When the number of drainage pipes exceeds nine, the drainage and pressure relief capacity approaches saturation, and further increasing the number of pipes no longer significantly reduced the water pressure at the tunnel face. The distribution characteristics of water pressure in the surrounding rock and the initial support were strongly correlated with the scope of zoned grouting. In terms of water-blocking effectiveness, full-face curtain grouting was superior to half-face curtain grouting and full-perimeter grouting. The combination of advance drainage and blocking measures could prevent groundwater inflow from outside the grouted area while draining groundwater within the grouted area, effectively reducing the risk of water and mud inrush during construction. This approach also helped protect the groundwater environment and reduces the water pressure on the initial support to approximately 120 kPa, contributing to the safety and stability of the tunnel structure.

    This paper aims to establish a reliability analysis method for vertically loaded piles in unsaturated soils by considering the uncertainties in soil physic-mechanical parameters and pile-soil geometric parameters. The ultimate bearing capacity of pile foundations was calculated using theoretical formulas, where the β-method was used to determine pile side friction and Terzaghi's formula was employed to evaluate pile tip resistance. Based on the first-order reliability method, the effects of variability in soil layer thickness and pile geometric dimensions on the reliability indices of pile foundations were elucidated. The rationality and accuracy of the proposed calculation method were verified through specific case studies. Parameter analysis showed that the uncertainty in soil layer thickness had little influence on the reliability indices of pile foundations, whereas the uncertainty in pile geometric parameters had a significant impact. Under the same coefficient of variation of the pile geometric parameters, the reliability index of compression piles decreased with increasing groundwater level. However, the influence of groundwater level on the reliability index was less significant than that of the variability in the pile geometric parameters.

    Underground lined rock cavern(LRC), distinguished by their superior safety, durability, high efficiency, and eco-friendliness, are gaining global recognition as an optimal solution for natural gas storage. This research focused on analyzing the stress-deformation behavior of the composite lining in an LRC gas reservoir subjected to 15 MPa storage pressure. Numerical simulation techniques were employed to elucidate the stress-displacement distribution patterns among different materials composing the composite lining. The results showed that the steel liner exhibited periodic fluctuations in hoop stress and displacement and was predominantly under tension, with a peak tensile stress of 364 MPa. The displacement of the top dome slightly exceeded that of the vertical shaft and the bottom dome, although the overall displacement of the steel liner was limited. The hoop stresses in the reinforcing bars were relatively low at the domes but reached a maximum of 342.7 MPa in the vertical section. The inner surface of the concrete lining experienced uniform tensile forces, while alternating tension-compression phenomena were observed on the exterior side. The surrounding rock mass underwent circumferential compression, which intensified rapidly from the cavern perimeter outward until reaching the in-situ stress level. Under the 15 MPa internal pressure, significant deformation was observed on the outer surface of the concrete lining, while the surrounding rock experienced slight disturbance, indicating an overall stable gas storage system. The findings could serve as a valuable reference for the design of LRC gas storage facilities.

    To accurately evaluate the true failure risk of transmission lines under complex meteorological conditions, a three-dimensional(3D)joint probability distribution model of wind speed, rainfall intensity, and wind direction was constructed based on Copula theory, and a structural fragility and full-probability failure assessment method under severe convective weather was proposed. Initially, the optimal marginal distributions for each variable were selected, and Archimedean Copula functions were introduced. Using long-term meteorological data(1971~2020)from the southern Hebei region, the hazard reduction effect under the joint return period of wind, rain, and wind direction was quantified. Subsequently, a refined finite element model of the transmission tower-line system was established. Using the inter-panel drift ratio as the evaluation criterion, the global collapse mechanism of the transmission tower induced by the buckling of local diagonal members under various wind attack angles was revealed, and the corresponding wind-induced fragility curves were derived. Finally, by coupling the 3D meteorological joint probability model with the structural fragility model via weighted integration over all wind directions, the total annual failure probability of the structure was obtained.

    To address the challenges in sealing mechanism and structural optimization of metal hard seals in high-pressure ball valves, a finite element simulation model of the main sealing pair was established. The study analyzed the effects of structural and material parameters on the Mises stress and sealing pressure on the sealing surfaces.Using Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology, mathematical models for seal failure rate and effective contact rate were constructed and subjected to multi-objective optimization.Research findings indicate that the sealing face width, the distance between the sealing face outer diameter and the valve seat outer diameter, and the friction coefficient exert the greatest influence on sealing performance. When these three parameters are set to 14.18 mm, 1.5 mm, and 0.198 respectively, the sealing face failure rate decreases to 6.18%, while the effective contact rate increases to 30.35%. The proposed optimization design significantly enhances the sealing reliability of high-pressure ball valves and provides theoretical guidance for deepwater oil and gas engineering applications.
