In this paper we report a field-scale landslide dam failure experiment conducted in Nantou County, in the central of Taiwan.The seismic signal generated during the dam failure was monitored using a broadband seismometer and the signal was used to study the dam failure process.We used the short-time Fourier transform(STFT) to obtain the time–frequency characteristics of the signal and analyzed the correlation between the power spectrum density(PSD) of the signal and the water level. The results indicate that the seismic signal generated during the process consisted of three components: a low-frequency band(0–1.5 Hz), an intermediate-frequency band(1.5–10 Hz) and a highfrequency band(10–45 Hz). We obtained the characteristics of each frequency band and the variations of the signal in various stages of the landslide dam failure process. We determined the cause for the signal changes in each frequency band and its relationship with the dam failure process. The PSD sediment flux estimation model was used to interpret the causes of variations in the signal energy before the dam failure and the clockwise hysteresis during the failure. Our results show that the seismic signal reflects the physical characteristics of the landslide dam failure process. The method and equipment used in this study may be used to monitor landslide dams and providing early warnings for dam failures.展开更多

The results indicate that present research progress and understanding onfield scale solute transport have not yet been enough to guarantee the use of our models for the management offield solute movement. Much more research work needs to be done, particularly, in aspects of high resolutionof spatial structures relevant to the hydraulic and transport properties, explicit numerical simulation of actualstructure on field scale and field measurement corroborated with model development.展开更多

The inlet gas flow rate was 3500 m3/h and NH3 concentration fluctuated between 2.76–27.84 mg/m3, while the average outlet concentration was 1.06 mg/m3 with an average of 94.9% removal. Critical volumetric loading (removal efficiency=100%) was 11.22 g-N/(m3·h). The odor concentration removal was 86.7%. NH3 removal efficiency decreased as the free ammonia (FA) in the trickling liquid increased. The pressure drop was maintained at about 50 Pa/m and was never more than 55 Pa/m. During the experiment, there was neither backflushing required nor any indication of clogging. Overall, the biotrickling filter was highly efficient and cost-effective for the simultaneous biodegradation of NH3 and other odorous gases from composting, suggesting the possibility of treating odorous gases at the industrial level.展开更多

文摘由于低照度图像具有对比度低、细节丢失严重、噪声大等缺点,现有的目标检测算法对低照度图像的检测效果不理想.为此,本文提出一种结合空间感知注意力机制和多尺度特征融合(Spatial-aware Attention Mechanism and Multi-Scale Feature Fusion,SAM-MSFF)的低照度目标检测方法 .该方法首先通过多尺度交互内存金字塔融合多尺度特征,增强低照度图像特征中的有效信息,并设置内存向量存储样本的特征,捕获样本之间的潜在关联性;然后,引入空间感知注意力机制获取特征在空间域的长距离上下文信息和局部信息,从而增强低照度图像中的目标特征,抑制背景信息和噪声的干扰;最后,利用多感受野增强模块扩张特征的感受野,对具有不同感受野的特征进行分组重加权计算,使检测网络根据输入的多尺度信息自适应地调整感受野的大小.在ExDark数据集上进行实验,本文方法的平均精度(mean Average Precision,mAP)达到77.04%,比现有的主流目标检测方法提高2.6%~14.34%.
