Vulnerability Analysis of Urban Rail Transit Network considering Cascading Failure Evolution by Ranran Sun, Guangyu Zhu, Bing Liu, Xiaolu Li, Yiyuan Yang, Jingxuan Zhang

“…The vulnerability indicators are constructed to dynamically evaluate the vulnerability of URTN considering cascading failure evolution, which are different from the traditional vulnerability indicators based on complex network theory. Taking the Beijing urban rail transit network as an example, the dynamic simulation results show that the cascading failure of URTN is closely related to the temporal-spatial distribution of passenger flows and malicious attacks are more destructive than random attacks. …”

MC-ASFF-ShipYOLO: Improved Algorithm for Small-Target and Multi-Scale Ship Detection for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Images by Yubin Xu, Haiyan Pan, Lingqun Wang, Ran Zou

“…Two key innovations distinguish our approach: (1) We introduce a Monte Carlo Attention (MCAttn) module into the backbone network that employs random sampling pooling operations to generate attention maps for feature map weighting, enhancing focus on small targets and improving their detection performance. (2) We add Adaptively Spatial Feature Fusion (ASFF) modules to the detection head that adaptively learn spatial fusion weights across feature layers and perform dynamic feature fusion, ensuring consistent ship representations across scales and mitigating feature conflicts, thereby enhancing multi-scale detection capability. …”
