The feasibility of csem monitoring in gas hydrate production of the range of porosity and saturation

Natural gas hydrates production tests over the last two decades has sown that production is not without risks. Indirect effects in the sedimentary rocks of phase changes are changes in porosity, permeability, and saturation. From a field production test site, porosity changes in the range of 15% to 19% and saturation from 5% to 60% were...

An Ensemble Learning Framework for Vehicle Trajectory Prediction in Interactive Scenarios

Precisely modeling interactions and accurately predicting trajectories of surrounding vehicles are essential to the decision-making and path-planning of intelligent vehicles. This paper proposes a novel framework based on ensemble learning to improve the performance of trajectory predictions in interactive scenarios. The framework is termed...

Adaptive Decision Making at the Intersection for Autonomous Vehicles Based on Skill Discovery

In urban environments, the complex and uncertain intersection scenarios are challenging for autonomous driving. To ensure safety, it is crucial to develop an adaptive decision making system that can handle the interaction with other vehicles. Manually designed model-based methods are reliable in common scenarios. But in uncertain environments,...

Inactivation of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by using a UVC-LED module with a multi-wavelength setting

UVC-LED is known as a deep ultraviolet LED. The application development and disinfection efficiency of UVC-LED modules are important problems encountered when UVC-LED products are rushed into commercialization. In this article, a specific disinfection experiment with a UVC-LED module was combined to analyze the disinfection efficiency. UVC-LEDs...

Thin-Film Lithium Niobate Acoustic Delay Line Oscillators

In this work, thin-film lithium niobate (LiNbO₃) acoustic delay line (ADL) based oscillators are experimentally investigated for the first time for the application of single-mode oscillators and frequency comb generation. The design space for the ADL-based oscillator is first analyzed, illustrating that the key to low phase noise...

The development of area wide traffic management scenarios

Traffic management in cities with congestion is a big challenge with still unused opportunities. Intersection control is a corner stone but this should be done in an area-wide context. The dominant traffic process on urban roads is the traffic flow on the intersections. Spill back is a most important cause of malfunctioning networks. The...
