DEFEAT: Deep Hidden Feature Backdoor Attacks by Imperceptible Perturbation and Latent Representation Constraints

Backdoor attack is a type of serious security threat to deep learning models. An adversary can provide users with a model trained on poisoned data to manipulate prediction behavior in test stage using a backdoor. The backdoored models behave normally on clean images, yet can be activated and output incorrect prediction if the input is stamped...

Utilization of biomass fly ash in alkali-activated materials

This paper investigated the feasibility of using biomass fly ash (BFA) to prepare alkaliactivated slag and fly ash paste. The reference mixture was alkali-activated slag and coal fly ash (CFA) paste with a slag-to-coal fly ash ratio of 50/50. In other mixtures, coal fly ash was replaced at 40% and 100% with BFA, respectively. The results showed...

Prediction of acoustic noise and vibration of a 24/16 traction switched reluctance machine

This study presents a numerical modelling approach for the prediction of vibration and acoustic noise for a 24/16 traction switched reluctance machine (SRM). The numerical modelling includes the simulation of electromagnetic force in JMAG, the calculation of natural frequencies and the simulation of vibration and acoustic noise in ACTRAN....

Mechanisms of autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag and fly ash pastes

This study aims to provide a better understanding of the autogenous shrinkage of slag and fly ash-based alkali-activated materials (AAMs) cured at ambient temperature. The main reaction products in AAMs pastes are C-A-S-H type gel and the reaction rate decreases when slag is partially replaced by fly ash. Due to the chemical shrinkage and the...

Effect of CaO content in raw material on the mineral composition of ferric-rich sulfoaluminate clinker

Ferric-rich calcium sulfoaluminate (FR-CSA) cement is an eco-friendly cement. Fe₂O₃ exists in different minerals of FR-CSA clinker, e.g., Ca₄Al₂Fe₂O₁₀ (C₄AF), Ca₂Fe₂O₅ (C₂F), and Ca₄Al_6-2_xFe...
