Towards Cross-Modal Point Cloud Retrieval for Indoor Scenes

Cross-modal retrieval, as an important emerging foundational information retrieval task, benefits from recent advances in multimodal technologies. However, current cross-modal retrieval methods mainly focus on the interaction between textual information and 2D images, lacking research on 3D data, especially point clouds at scene level,...

Mechanistic Investigation of Vertical Sweep Efficiency in Miscible CO2-Water- Coinjection for EOR and CCUS

The main objective of this study is to understand the vertical sweep efficiency with miscible CO2-water-coinjection as a secondary recovery method, from multiple perspectives: phase behavior, total relative mobility, fluid densities/viscosities, the driving forces and consequent phase distributions etc. We also seek to provide insights into...

AR-Assisted Assembly in Self-Build Construction with Discrete Components

The prevailing issue of low housing supply is caused in part by a lack of skilled construction workers. If unskilled residents were adequately equipped, they could potentially address this issue, expanding and adapting their homes without professional builders and designers. This research proposes the use of discrete components to build on...

A molecular dynamics study of N-A-S-H gel with various Si/Al ratios

The understanding of sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N-A-S-H) gel is still limited due to its complex and amorphous structure. Recently, molecular dynamics simulation has provided a unique opportunity to better understand the structure of N-A-S-H gel from nanoscale. In this work, the N-A-S-H gel structure was obtained by simulating the...
