Abstract This study introduces a novel algorithm known as the dung beetle optimization algorithm based on bounded reflection optimization and multi-strategy fusion (BFDBO), which is designed to tackle the complexities associated with multi-UAV collaborative trajectory planning in intricate battlefield environments. Initially, a collaborative planning cost function for the multi-UAV system is formulated, thereby converting the trajectory planning challenge into an optimization problem. Building on the foundational dung beetle optimization (DBO) algorithm, BFDBO incorporates three significant innovations: a boundary reflection mechanism, an adaptive mixed exploration strategy, and a dynamic multi-scale mutation strategy. These enhancements are intended to… More >

Abstract Pedestrian trajectory prediction is pivotal and challenging in applications such as autonomous driving, social robotics, and intelligent surveillance systems. Pedestrian trajectory is governed not only by individual intent but also by interactions with surrounding agents. These interactions are critical to trajectory prediction accuracy. While prior studies have employed Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to model such interactions, these methods fail to distinguish varying influence levels among neighboring pedestrians. To address this, we propose a novel model based on a bidirectional graph attention network and spatio-temporal graphs to capture dynamic interactions. Specifically,… More >

Abstract Trajectory prediction is a critical task in autonomous driving systems. It enables vehicles to anticipate the future movements of surrounding traffic participants, which facilitates safe and human-like decision-making in the planning and control layers. However, most existing approaches rely on end-to-end deep learning architectures that overlook the influence of driving style on trajectory prediction. These methods often lack explicit modeling of semantic driving behavior and effective interaction mechanisms, leading to potentially unrealistic predictions. To address these limitations, we propose the Driving Style Guided Trajectory Prediction framework (DSG-TP), which incorporates a probabilistic representation of driving style… More >

Abstract Objectives: Positive family functioning (FF) is critical for adolescent development, yet only a few studies have examined this developmental trajectory pathway. This study aimed to identify different types of FF development trajectories during junior high school students, investigate their influence on social avoidance (SA), and further examine the mediating role of preference for solitude (PS) between them. Methods: A three-wave longitudinal study was used with six-month intervals. Questionnaire data were collected from 436 junior high school students in Jiangxi Province, China. Participants ranged in age from 11 to 14 years old (Mean = 12.89 years,… More >

Abstract To improve small object detection and trajectory estimation from an aerial moving perspective, we propose the Aerial View Attention-PRB (AVA-PRB) model. AVA-PRB integrates two attention mechanisms—Coordinate Attention (CA) and the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM)—to enhance detection accuracy. Additionally, Shape-IoU is employed as the loss function to refine localization precision. Our model further incorporates an adaptive feature fusion mechanism, which optimizes multi-scale object representation, ensuring robust tracking in complex aerial environments. We evaluate the performance of AVA-PRB on two benchmark datasets: Aerial Person Detection and VisDrone2019-Det. The model achieves 60.9% mAP@0.5 on the Aerial Person… More >

Abstract In bottom-blown copper smelting processes, oxygen-enriched air is typically injected into the melt through a lance, generating bubbles that ascend and agitate the melt, enhancing mass, momentum, and heat transfer within the furnace. The melt’s viscosity, which varies across reaction stages, and the operating conditions influence bubble size and dynamics. This study investigates the interplay between melt viscosity and bubble diameter on bubble motion using numerical simulations and experiments. In particular, the volume of fluid (VOF) method and Ω-identification technique were employed to analyze bubble velocity, deformation, trajectories, and wake characteristics. The results showed that More >

Abstract Horizontal wells play a crucial role in enhancing shale gas reservoir production. This study employs transient multiphase simulation to investigate the impact of well trajectory on production optimization throughout a well’s life cycle. The research uses OLGA^TM as a simulator to examine six well trajectories: toe-up, toe-down, smooth horizontal, undulated toe-up, undulated toe-down, and undulated horizontal. Initial findings indicate comparable production rates across different trajectories during the early production phase, with toe-up wells showing slightly better performances due to minimal slugging. However, as the reservoir pressure decreases, the well trajectory significantly influences production. Horizontal wells achieve More >

Abstract This paper introduces a lane-changing strategy aimed at trajectory planning and tracking control for intelligent vehicles navigating complex driving environments. A fifth-degree polynomial is employed to generate a set of potential lane-changing trajectories in the Frenet coordinate system. These trajectories are evaluated using non-cooperative game theory, considering the interaction between the target vehicle and its surroundings. Models considering safety payoffs, speed payoffs, comfort payoffs, and aggressiveness are formulated to obtain a Nash equilibrium solution. This way, collision avoidance is ensured, and an optimal lane change trajectory is planned. Three game scenarios are discussed, and the More >

Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to verify the causal relationship between trait aggressiveness (TA) and moral disengagement (MD), know more about the growth trajectory of MD, and explore the effects of gender and TA on the growth trajectory.

Abstract Stereoscopic agriculture, as an advanced method of agricultural production, poses new challenges for multi-task trajectory planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). To address the need for UAVs to perform multi-task trajectory planning in stereoscopic agriculture, a multi-task trajectory planning model and algorithm (IEP-AO) that synthesizes flight safety and flight efficiency is proposed. Based on the requirements of stereoscopic agricultural geomorphological features and operational characteristics, the multi-task trajectory planning model is ensured by constructing targeted constraints at five aspects, including the path, slope, altitude, corner, energy and obstacle threat, to improve the effectiveness of the trajectory… More >
