Ion‐scale structure in Mercury's magnetopause reconnection diffusion region by Daniel J. Gershman, John C. Dorelli, Gina A. DiBraccio, Jim M. Raines, James A. Slavin, Gangkai Poh, Thomas H. Zurbuchen

“…In addition, variations in PCB latitude likely correspond to intermittent bursts of ~0.3–3 mV/m reconnection electric fields separated by ~5–10 s, resulting in average and peak normalized dayside reconnection rates of ~0.02 and ~0.2, respectively. These data demonstrate that structure in the magnetopause diffusion region at Mercury occurs at the smallest ion scales relevant to reconnection physics.…”

Abnormal link detection algorithm based on semi-local structure by Haoran SHI, Lixin JI, Shuxin LIU, Gengrun WANG

“…With the research in network science, real networks involved are becoming more and more extensive.Redundant error relationships in complex systems, or behaviors that occur deliberately for unusual purposes, such as wrong clicks on webpages, telecommunication network spying calls, have a significant impact on the analysis work based on network structure.As an important branch of graph anomaly detection, anomalous edge recognition in complex networks aims to identify abnormal edges in network structures caused by human fabrication or data collection errors.Existing methods mainly start from the perspective of structural similarity, and use the connected structure between nodes to evaluate the abnormal degree of edge connection, which easily leads to the decomposition of the network structure, and the detection accuracy is greatly affected by the network type.In response to this problem, a CNSCL algorithm was proposed, which calculated the node importance at the semi-local structure scale, analyzed different types of local structures, and quantified the contribution of edges to the overall network connectivity according to the semi-local centrality in different structures, and quantified the reliability of the edge connection by combining with the difference of node structure similarity.Since the connected edges need to be removed in the calculation process to measure the impact on the overall connectivity of the network, there was a problem that the importance of nodes needed to be repeatedly calculated.Therefore, in the calculation process, the proposed algorithm also designs a dynamic update method to reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm, so that it could be applied to large-scale networks.Compared with the existing methods on 7 real networks with different structural tightness, the experimental results show that the method has higher detection accuracy than the benchmark method under the AUC measure, and under the condition of network sparse or missing, It can still maintain a relatively stable recognition accuracy.…”

Ground Vibration Analysis of Railroad Dynamic Loads on Rail Structure by Rini Kusumawardani, Mufita Aulia Zelin, Arief Kusbiantoro

“…The railroad structure consists of rail steel, sleepers, fastening, ballast, sub-ballast and subgrade. The load of the passing train at a certain speed can produce vibrations channeled through the train wheels to the railway steel to be forwarded to the sleepers then to the ballast and distributed to the subgrade. The amount of vibration caused by the train can be seen from the value of the acceleration, amplitude and frequency of the vibration. In this study, the accelerometer sensor was used to detect the magnitude of the vibration acceleration. The vibration acceleration data was then processed using Geopsy software to obtain the value of natural frequency and vibration amplitude using the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) method. The value of acceleration due to railroad vibration of 0.14 g - 0.64 g with a position placed 1.5 m sensor from the edge of the rail. The biggest vibration acceleration is 0.26 g x direction, 0.39 y direction and 0.29 z direction caused by Maharani trains that pass at a speed of 65 km / h and a load of 728 tons. The natural frequency of vibration obtained value 2.4077 Hz - 5.392 Hz. The highest natural frequency was caused when the Maharani train, which was 5.392 Hz. Train speed and load affected the vibration of the rail structure. The acceleration of vibration increased when the train speed and load increased…”
