Abstract Quantitative detection of sleeve grouting compactness is a technical challenge in civil engineering testing. This study explores a novel quantitative detection method based on ultrasonic time-frequency dual-domain analysis. It establishes a mapping relationship between sleeve grouting compactness and characteristic parameters. First, this study made samples with gradient defects for two types of grouting sleeves, G18 and G20. These included four cases: 2D, 4D, 6D defects (where D is the diameter of the grouting sleeve), and no-defect. Then, an ultrasonic input/output data acquisition system was established. Three-dimensional sound field distribution data were obtained through an orthogonal… More >

Abstract This study employed tri-component continuous monitoring data from 10 measurement points on both sides of a base isolation layer in the basement of a large-span high-rise building in Beijing, as well as from a free-field station and roof frame, during a M_w 5.5 magnitude earthquake in Pingyuan, Shandong, in 2023. The H/V spectral ratio method was used to evaluate the structural dynamic response characteristics of the building and analyze the regulatory effect of the base-isolation layer on seismic waves. The results indicate that during the earthquake, the peak frequency of the free-field and the measurement points… More >

Abstract This study explores theoretical insights and experimental results on monitoring load-carrying capacity degradation in bridge spans through frequency analysis. Experiments were conducted on real bridge structures, including the Binh Thuan Bridge, focusing on analyzing the power spectral density (PSD) of vibration signals under random traffic loads. Detailed digital models of various bridge spans with different structural designs and construction periods were developed to ensure diversity. The study utilized PSD to analyze the vibration signals from the bridge spans under various loading conditions, identifying the vibration frequencies and the corresponding response regions. The research correlated the… More >

Abstract Modern power systems increasingly depend on interconnected microgrids to enhance reliability and renewable energy utilization. However, the high penetration of intermittent renewable sources often causes frequency deviations, voltage fluctuations, and poor reactive power coordination, posing serious challenges to grid stability. Conventional Interconnection Flow Controllers (IFCs) primarily regulate active power flow and fail to effectively handle dynamic frequency variations or reactive power sharing in multi-microgrid networks. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an enhanced Interconnection Flow Controller (e-IFC) that integrates frequency response balancing and an Interconnection Reactive Power Flow Controller (IRFC) within a unified adaptive… More >

Abstract Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) seeks to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) inputs, thereby enhancing visual fidelity and the perception of fine details. While Transformer-based models—such as SwinIR, Restormer, and HAT—have recently achieved impressive results in super-resolution tasks by capturing global contextual information, these methods often suffer from substantial computational and memory overhead, which limits their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. To address these challenges, we propose a novel lightweight super-resolution network, termed Binary Attention-Guided Information Distillation (BAID), which integrates frequency-aware modeling with a binary attention mechanism to significantly reduce computational complexity and parameter… More >

Abstract Load frequency control (LFC) is a critical function to balance the power consumption and generation. The grid frequency is a crucial indicator for maintaining balance. However, the widely used information and communication infrastructure for LFC increases the risk of being attacked by malicious actors. The dynamic load altering attack (DLAA) is a typical attack that can destabilize the power system, causing the grid frequency to deviate from its nominal value. Therefore, in this paper, we mathematically analyze the impact of DLAA on the stability of the grid frequency and propose the network parameter regulation (NPR)… More >

Abstract Underwater images often affect the effectiveness of underwater visual tasks due to problems such as light scattering, color distortion, and detail blurring, limiting their application performance. Existing underwater image enhancement methods, although they can improve the image quality to some extent, often lead to problems such as detail loss and edge blurring. To address these problems, we propose FENet, an efficient underwater image enhancement method. FENet first obtains three different scales of images by image downsampling and then transforms them into the frequency domain to extract the low-frequency and high-frequency spectra, respectively. Then, a distance… More >

Abstract Synthetic speech detection is an essential task in the field of voice security, aimed at identifying deceptive voice attacks generated by text-to-speech (TTS) systems or voice conversion (VC) systems. In this paper, we propose a synthetic speech detection model called TFTransformer, which integrates both local and global features to enhance detection capabilities by effectively modeling local and global dependencies. Structurally, the model is divided into two main components: a front-end and a back-end. The front-end of the model uses a combination of SincLayer and two-dimensional (2D) convolution to extract high-level feature maps (HFM) containing local… More >

Abstract Human motion modeling is a core technology in computer animation, game development, and human-computer interaction. In particular, generating natural and coherent in-between motion using only the initial and terminal frames remains a fundamental yet unresolved challenge. Existing methods typically rely on dense keyframe inputs or complex prior structures, making it difficult to balance motion quality and plausibility under conditions such as sparse constraints, long-term dependencies, and diverse motion styles. To address this, we propose a motion generation framework based on a frequency-domain diffusion model, which aims to better model complex motion distributions and enhance generation… More >

Abstract Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a widely used method that is non-destructive for underground or subsurface detection. It is used in various fields and has proved to be reliable and effective. This research focuses on detecting the presence of air cavities using GPR and analyzing the radargram output based on the compactness of soil and different frequencies. The compactness is used to illustrate the presence of cavities underground artificially. The research examines how variations in the compactness of soil affect the radargram response in showing the presence of cavities using different frequencies. Experimental results demonstrate More >
