A novel generative adversarial network framework for super-resolution reconstruction of remote sensing by Ruilin Li, Linzhi Wen, Songtao Shao, Ming Yu, Linda Mohaisen

“…At the heart of DEGAN lies an innovative GAN architecture that fuses the adversarial mechanisms of both the generator and discriminator with an integrated diffusion module. This additional component utilizes the noise reduction capabilities of the diffusion process to refine the intermediate stages of image generation, ultimately improving the clarity of the final output and enhancing the performance of remote sensing super-resolution.ResultsIn the test dataset, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) increased by 0.345 dB at 2× scaling and 0.671 dB at 4× scaling, while the structural similarity index (SSIM) was improved by 0.0087 and 0.0166, respectively, compared to the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) approach.DiscussionThese results indicate that DEGAN significantly improves the super-resolution reconstruction performance of remote sensing images. …”

Molecular dynamics simulation on interaction mechanisms of crude oil and CO2 by LI Jianshan, GAO Hao, YAN Changhao, WANG Shitou, WANG Liangliang

“…The simulation results show that the dispersion force is the the main driving force of the interaction between CO2 and alkane molecules, which mainly includes two aspects: one is the dissolution and diffusion of CO2 molecules into the oil droplets by overcoming the steric hindrance between alkane molecules, and the other is the extraction attraction of CO2 molecules to the outer layer molecules of the oil droplets. …”
