Research on Deformation Characteristics of Geomembrane in Welding of Membrane Faced Rockfill Dam by WU Xiuyu, ZHANG Xianlei, WU Yunyun

“…In order to solve the problem that the roughness and local folds of geomembrane in the meridional and zonal welds affect the welding quality,this paper carries out the experimental study on thermodynamic deformation-temperature rule of HDPE/PE/PVC geomembrane by thermal mechanical analyzer,and reveals the deformation characteristics of geomembrane in welding construction by combining the experimental study with theoretical analysis.The experimental results show that the main cause is the difference between the meridional/zonal deformation,and the essential reasons are the history of temperature stress and the orientation of molecular structure of geomembrane in the production process.After being fully fused and formed by natural cooling under unconstrained conditions,the sample is subjected to deformation-temperature test.The test results verify the rationality of the theoretical analysis.According to the results,this paper proposes to improve the production process by avoiding the orientation of molecular structure,reasonably controlling the cooling temperature rate gradient and appropriately increasing the lap width between the meridional and zonal welds to offset the different deformation caused by the remakable differenence of thermodynamic deformation characteristics.…”

Association between parent-proxy-reported and child-self-reported perceptions of children’s motor competence and children’s performance-based motor skill abilities by Alice Humble, Mon-Lin Yu, Ted Brown

“…Background When assessing motor skills, occupational therapists are encouraged to seek the perspectives of children and their parents to promote the delivery of client-centered care.Aim To investigate whether 9–12-year-old children’s views and their parents’ proxy views of the children’s motor skill competence and their performance on a standardized, performance-based assessment are associated.Materials and methods Thirty 9–12-year-old children completed the Perceived Motor Competence Questionnaire in Childhood (PMC-C) and the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence – version 2 (PMSC-2), while their parents completed the Movement Assessment Battery for Children–2nd Edition Checklist (MABC-2 Checklist). …”

An Impact-Echo Experimental Approach for Detecting Concrete Structural Faults by Ya-xun Yang, Wen-hao Chai, De-chuang Liu, Wei-de Zhang, Jia-cheng Lu, Zhi-kui Yang

“…The results show that the impact-echo method can effectively test the location of defects and the degree of burial depth, and the pipe material influences the test results, and the impact of corrugated metal pipe is smaller and more accurate than the PVC pipe. In addition, the greater the plate thickness frequency drift rate, the larger the transverse size of the defect, so the plate thickness frequency drift rate and the measured defect depth are combined to quantitatively determine the depth of the defect.…”

EEG emotion recognition based on parallel separable convolution and label smoothing regularization by Yong ZHANG, Jikui LIU, Wenlong KE

“…In recent years, emotion recognition methods based on deep learning and electroencephalogram (EEG) have achieved good results.However, existing methods still have issues such as incomplete extraction of emotional features from EEG and significant impact from artificially mislabeled emotional labels.A parallel separable convolution and label smoothing regularization (PSC-LSR) network model was proposed.Firstly, through the attention mechanism, EEG important time points and important channels were given greater weight to obtain shallow emotional features of EEG.Secondly, a parallel separable convolution module was used to comprehensively extract EEG emotional information and obtain deep emotional features.Finally, the emotion label smoothing regularization method was used to optimize the model parameters, which increased model’s fault tolerance probability for incorrect labels, enhanced the generalization and robustness of the network model, and improved accuracy of EEG emotion recognition.The proposed method has been validated in two datasets, in which the average accuracy rates of arousal and valence dimensions in the DEAP dataset reaches 99.23% and 99.13%, respectively.In the Dreamer dataset, the average accuracy rates for both arousal and valence dimensions reaches 97.33% and 97.25%.…”
