Prediction of subway shield construction parameters based on multi-layer perceptron by LI Wenqian, WU Yunhuan, WU Jingye, CHEN Zhihuai, XIE Senlin, HU Anfeng

“…Shield construction technology has been widely used in subway construction, and reasonable prediction of shield tunneling parameters is of great practical significance for improving construction safety and reducing operational difficulties.Taking a section of the Hangzhou Airport Express Underpass Tunnel as the engineering background, this study uses the friction angle, cohesion force, compression modulus and heaviness of the soil layer within the diameter of the tunnel as well as the burial depth of the tunnel cover, the preset blade speed and propulsion speed of the shield machine as inputs, and the slurry volume, slurry pressure, soil discharge volume, total thrust force and blade torque during the shield construction as outputs, and establishes a prediction model of shield tunneling parameters based on a multi-layer perceptron.By comparing the predictive performance of the model under different combinations of hyper-parameters on the dataset, a suitable shield construction parameter prediction model is selected for the project.The model predictive effect is verified using the measured data, and the predicted values are consistent with the overall variation pattern of the measured data, with an average error within 20%.The established multi-layer perceptron model provides reasonable predictions with good accuracy and can be applied to predict shield tunneling parameters under the conditions of composite strata.…”

Growth Stages Discrimination of Multi-Cultivar Navel Oranges Using the Fusion of Near-Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging and Machine Vision with Deep Learning by Chunyan Zhao, Zhong Ren, Yue Li, Jia Zhang, Weinan Shi

“…Based on preprocessed spectra, optimally selected hyperspectral images, and registered RGB images, a dual-branch multi-modal feature fusion convolutional neural network (CNN) model is established. In this model, a spectral branch is designed to extract spectral features reflecting internal compositional variations, while the image branch is utilized to extract external color and texture features from the integration of hyperspectral and RGB images. …”

Carbon sequestration, emission reduction, and technical strategies of rice-crayfish farming in central China by Songwen Chen, Yao Guo, Pengli Yuan, Yang Jiang, Cougui Cao

“…In this study, we systematically evaluated the carbon sequestration and emission reduction effects of rice-crayfish farming through field experiment, carbon footprint assessment, and the DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model. Compared with rice monoculture, rice-crayfish farming increased the soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, and reduced the annual CH4 emissions, annual N2O emissions, and global warming potential (GWP) by 6.4, 2.4 and 6.2%, respectively. …”

Development of craquelure patterns in paintings on canvas by Marcin Bury, Łukasz Bratasz

“…Cracks in central parts of canvas painting were found to be induced by permanent cumulative drying shrinkage of the oil-based paints and grounds due to the evolution of the molecular composition of the oil binder. The outcome of the modelling indicated that the risk of cracking of the pictorial layers in canvas paintings due to drops in ambient relative humidity was small.…”
