Spatial–temporal short-term traffic flow prediction model based on dynamical-learning graph convolution mechanism

Short-term traffic flow prediction is a core branch of intelligent traffic systems (ITS) and plays an important role in traffic management. The graph convolution network (GCN) is widely used in traffic prediction models to efficiently handle the graphical structural data of road networks. However, the influence weights among different road...

Fabrication of a Nanosize Hematite Pigment via Waste Ferrous Sulfate Recycling Using Sulfur Reduction

Nanometer-sized hematite was prepared via a two-step process. In the first step, FeSO₄·7H₂O was oxidized to Fe₂(SO₄)₃ by oxygen in an acidic solution. In the second step, the Fe₂(SO₄)₃ was reduced to nanosize hematite with sulfur vapor at 550 °C. The...

Determinants of villagers’ satisfaction with post-disaster reconstruction: Evidence from surveys ten years after the Wenchuan earthquake

Residents’ satisfaction with post-disaster reconstruction in earthquake-stricken areas directly affects their quality of life, which cannot be ignored in post-disaster reconstruction. More than 10 years after the Wenchuan earthquake, we took ten randomly selected villages in the five areas hardest-hit by the Wenchuan earthquake as research...

Reinforced FDM: Multi-axis filament alignment with controlled anisotropic strength

The anisotropy of mechanical strength on a 3D printed model can be controlled in a multi-axis 3D printing system as materials can be accumulated along dynamically varied directions. In this paper, we present a new computational framework to generate specially designed layers and toolpaths of multi-axis 3D printing for strengthening a model by...

Spectroscopic evidence for bulk-band inversion and three-dimensional massive Dirac fermions in ZrTe₅

Three-dimensional topological insulators (3D TIs) represent states of quantum matters in which surface states are protected by timereversal symmetry and an inversion occurs between bulk conduction and valence bands. However, the bulk-band inversion, which is intimately tied to the topologically nontrivial nature of 3D Tis, has rarely been...
