Abstract E-learning approaches are one of the most important learning platforms for the learner through electronic equipment. Such study techniques are useful for other groups of learners such as the crowd, pedestrian, sports, transports, communication, emergency services, management systems and education sectors. E-learning is still a challenging domain for researchers and developers to find new trends and advanced tools and methods. Many of them are currently working on this domain to fulfill the requirements of industry and the environment. In this paper, we proposed a method for pedestrian behavior mining of aerial data, using deep flow… More >

Abstract Due to the existence of the attached mortar, the performance of the recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is inferior to the natural aggregate, which significantly limits its wide application in industry. In this study, five kinds of modified solutions were used to modify the surface of RCA, and the modification effects were compared. The results showed that sodium silicate, nano-silica (NS), Bacillus pasteurii and soybean powder had relatively good modification effects on RCA, which could reduce the crushing value and water absorption, and increase apparent density. The composite solution (15% sodium silicate and 2% NS) and… More >

Abstract The emission of greenhouse gases from cement production is an obstacle for sustainable development of construction industry. The use of waste materials in constructions instead of cement could be a feasible solution to green construction. Waste marble powder with good cementing property can be used in concrete partially replace cement. In this research, the effects of using waste marble powder on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete have been studied. Three groups of particle size and five levels of replacement ratio (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) for each group have been designed. During the… More >

Abstract Plant-based concretes are produced from plant aggregates and a binder. Plant fibers are mainly composed of saccharides (sugars) and these sugars can decrease the concentration of Ca²⁺ ions in the cement pore solution and delay the formation of hydration products. To improve the interfacial bond between fibers and matrix a chemical treatment is widely used. This study investigates the effect of sodium hydroxide treatment on physical and hygroscopic properties of Typha aggregates. In particular, a 5% sodium hydroxide solution is used to treat these aggregates and their bulk and absolute densities, porosity, water content and water More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In recent times, Cyber-physical system (CPS) integrates the cyber systems and physical world for performing critical processes that are started from the development in digital electronics. The sensors deployed in CPS are commonly employed for monitoring and controlling processes that are susceptible to anomalies. For identifying and detecting anomalies, an effective anomaly detection system (ADS) is developed. But ADS faces high false alarms and miss detection rate, which led to the degraded performance in CPS applications. This study develops a novel deep learning (DL) approach for anomaly detection in sensor-based CPS using Bidirectional Long Short… More >

Abstract Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) are network systems containing cyber (computation, communication) and physical (sensors, actuators) components that interact with each other through feedback loop with the help of human intervention. The dynamic and disseminated characteristics of CPS environment makes it vulnerable to threats that exist in virtualization process. Due to this, several security issues are presented in CPS. In order to address the challenges, there is a need exists to extend the conventional security solutions such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to handle high speed network data traffic and adaptive network pattern in cloud. Additionally,… More >

Abstract For low permeability sandstone reservoirs, CO₂ flooding has been proved to be an effective method to enhance oil recovery. Reservoir A is a typical conglomerate reservoir in Xinjiang oilfield. The reservoir has strong water sensitivity, and the injection pressure continues to rise. Furthermore the oil well pressure continues to drop. According to the screening conditions of CO₂ flooding, the reservoir A can easily achieve CO₂ miscible flooding with moderate temperature. And the reservoir has the advantage of being close to the gas source. Firstly, the relationship curve between CO₂ oil displacement efficiency and oil displacement pressure was… More >

Abstract In the period of Industries 4.0, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) were a major study area. Such systems frequently occur in manufacturing processes and people’s everyday lives, and they communicate intensely among physical elements and lead to inconsistency. Due to the magnitude and importance of the systems they support, the cyber quantum models must function effectively. In this paper, an image-processing-based anomalous mobility detecting approach is suggested that may be added to systems at any time. The expense of glitches, failures or destroyed products is decreased when anomalous activities are detected and unplanned scenarios are avoided. The… More >

Abstract The 5G communication systems are widely established for high-speed data processing to meet users demands. The 5G New Radio (NR) communications comprise a network of ultra-low latency, high processing speeds, high throughput and rapid synchronization with a time frame of 10 ms. Synchronization between User Equipment (UE) and 5G base station known as gNB is a fundamental procedure in a cellular system and it is performed by a synchronization signal. In 5G NR system, Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) are used to detect the best serving base station with the help… More >

Abstract The decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in regulating atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and climate dynamics. However, the mechanisms and factors controlling SOC decomposition are still not fully understood. Here, we conducted a 60 days incubation experiment to test the effects of physical disturbance and nitrogen (N) addition on SOC decomposition. N addition increased the concentration of NO₃^- by 51% in the soil, but had little effect on the concentration of NH₄⁺. N addition inhibited SOC decomposition, but such an effect differed between disturbed and undisturbed soils. In disturbed and undisturbed soils, application of… More >
