Abstract Accurate calculation of the failure probability of structural components was crucial for full-probability level structural design. However, current design codes typically use uniform design factors, which fail to accurately reflect the true failure probability of structures. In this paper, based on the direct probability integral method (DPIM) and combining different design parameter iterative calculation strategies, the full-probabilistic design methods for single-parameter and multi-parameter were proposed, and their accuracy advantages in structural reliability design were verified by engineering examples. Furthermore, this study compares the partial factor method, the design value method, the direct probability design method,… More >

Abstract Ni-based single-crystal superalloys (SX) turbine blades of aeroengines are inevitably damaged during using. Therefore, it is of great significance for commercial aeroengines with high economic requirements to repair SX turbine blades reasonably and continue to realize their value by Laser-Directed energy deposition (L-DED). The repairing of SX must maintain the epitaxial growth of single-crystal, so the microstructure adjustment and the inhibition of stray grains are important for the preparation of L-DED SX.
In this work, the single channel monolayer and single channel five-layers SX have been prepared by L-DED. Based on the columnar transition to… More >

Abstract The temperature dependence of direct current (DC) conductivity, silver content, and the presence of crystalline phases in amorphous and annealed chalcogenides from the Ag_x(As₂(Te_0.5Se_0.5)₃)_100-x system was investigated. Amorphous samples exhibited semiconducting behavior, with conductivity increase as the silver content raised. This increase was primarily attributed to electron transitions into delocalized states from states localized near the Fermi level. Percolation behavior in conductivity was observed in the samples containing 7 at.% or more silver. For annealed samples with silver content below 9 at.%, temperature-independent DC conductivity was identified, accompanied by a decrease in conductivity as the silver More >

Abstract To enhance the navigation efficiency of inland new-energy ships and reduce energy consumption and emissions, this study investigates wind load coefficients under 13 conditions, combining a wind speed of 2.0 m/s with wind direction angles ranging from 0° to 180° in 15° increments. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the wind load is decomposed into along-course (C_X) and transverse (C_Y) components, and their variation with wind direction is systematically analyzed. Results show that C_X is maximal under headwind (0°), decreases approximately following a cosine trend, and reaches its most negative value under tailwind (180°). C_Y peaks at More >

Abstract Accurate estimation of the Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) of incident plane waves is essential for modern wireless communication, radar, sonar, and localization systems. Precise DoA information enables adaptive beamforming, spatial filtering, and interference mitigation by steering antenna array beams toward desired sources while suppressing unwanted signals. Traditional one-dimensional Uniform Linear Arrays (ULAs) are limited to elevation angle estimation due to geometric constraints, typically within the range [0, π]. To capture full spatial characteristics in environments with multipath and angular spread, joint estimation of both elevation and azimuth angles becomes necessary. However, existing 2D and 3D array geometries… More >

Abstract Background: Adolescent depression and school refusal (SR) are prevalent and important global concerns that need to be understood and addressed. Cross-sectional associations have been reported but prospective relationships between them remain unclear. This longitudinal study investigated the bidirectional relationships between these two problems among Chinese adolescents. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted in Taizhou, China, surveying students of three junior high schools, three senior high schools, and one vocational high school. A total of 3882 students completed the questionnaire at baseline (T1); 3167 of them completed an identical follow-up questionnaire after 6 months (T2). Depression… More >

Abstract Binary Code Similarity Detection (BCSD) is vital for vulnerability discovery, malware detection, and software security, especially when source code is unavailable. Yet, it faces challenges from semantic loss, recompilation variations, and obfuscation. Recent advances in artificial intelligence—particularly natural language processing (NLP), graph representation learning (GRL), and large language models (LLMs)—have markedly improved accuracy, enabling better recognition of code variants and deeper semantic understanding. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 82 studies published between 1975 and 2025, systematically tracing the historical evolution of BCSD and analyzing the progressive incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.

Abstract The rapid convergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), driven by advancements in 5G/6G networks, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), is reshaping modern digital ecosystems. As massive, distributed data streams are generated across edge devices and network layers, there is a growing need for intelligent, privacy-preserving AI solutions that can operate efficiently at the network edge. Federated Learning (FL) enables decentralized model training without transferring sensitive data, addressing key challenges around privacy, bandwidth, and latency. Despite its benefits in enhancing efficiency, real-time analytics, and regulatory compliance, FL adoption faces… More >

Abstract In recent years, the evolution of the community structure in social networks has gained significant attention. Due to the rapid and continuous evolution of real-world networks over time. This makes the process of identifying communities and tracking their topology changes challenging. To tackle these challenges, it is necessary to find efficient methodologies for analyzing the behavior patterns of dynamic communities. Several previous reviews have introduced algorithms and models for community detection. However, these methods have not been very accurate in identifying communities. Moreover, none of the reviewed papers made an apparent effort to link algorithms… More >
