Relation Networks for Object Detection

Although it is well believed for years that modeling relations between objects would help object recognition, there has not been evidence that the idea is working in the deep learning era. All state-of-the-art object detection systems still rely on recognizing object instances individually, without exploiting their relations during learning. This work proposes an object relation module. It processes a set of objects simultaneously through interaction between their appearance feature and geometry, thus allowing modeling of their relations. It is lightweight and in-place. It does not require additional supervision and is easy to embed in existing networks. It is shown effective on improving object recognition and duplicate removal steps in the modern object detection pipeline. It verifies the efficacy of modeling object relations in CNN based detection. It gives rise to the first fully end-to-end object detector

Seasonal variability in spatial patterns of sea surface cold- and warm fronts over the continental shelf of the northern South China Sea

Ubiquitous fronts are a key part of energy transfer from large scales to small scales and exert a great impact on material exchange and biogeochemical processes. The spatial pattern and seasonal variability of cold- and warm fronts over the wide shelf of the northern South China Sea (SCS) are investigated using a 20-year time series (2002−2021) of 1-km spatial resolution Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) images. Our analysis shows distinct spatial and temporal variability in the occurrence of the cold- and warm fronts. Over the inner shelf (depth <50 m), the band-shaped cold fronts are predominately observed during spring through autumn from east of Hainan Island to Taiwan Shoal, with the presence of the maximum intensity and probability in winter. The frontal formations are possibly associated with the joint effect of the Guangdong Coastal Current (GCC) and the South China Sea Warm Current. During summer, the inshore fronts have relatively low probability and gradient magnitude. The warm fronts mainly occur off the western Guangdong coast possibly due to the southwestward-flowing GCC, whereas the cold fronts dominate off the eastern Guangdong coast and the eastern Hainan Island largely because of the coastal upwelling. Over the outer shelf (depth >50 m), the finer-scale cold- and warm fronts are discretely observed, with relatively weaker intensity and lower probability. The frontal activities are very vigorous in winter but slightly quiescent in summer, apparently resulting from the influence of the rich submesoscale processes in the SCS. This study could help improve our understanding of the SCS oceanic multiscale dynamics

Study on Colour Reaction of Vanadium(V) with 2-(2-Quinolylazo)-5-Diethylaminophenol and Its Application

A sensitive, selective and rapid method has been developed for the determination of vanadium based on the rapid reaction of vanadium(V) with 2-(2-quinolylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (QADEAP). The QADEAP reacts with V(V) in the presence of citric acid-sodium hydroxide buffer solution (pH =3.5) and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) medium to form a violet chelate of a molar ratio 1:2 (V(V) to QADEAP). The molar absorptivity of the chelate is 1.23 x 105 L mol-1 cm-1 at 590 nm in the measured solution. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0.01~0.6 mg mL-1. This method was applied to the determination of vanadium(v) with good results. South African Journal of Chemistry Vol.57 2004: 15-1

Numerical simulation on the influence of stirrups during electrochemical repair

Stirrup in the concrete structure has noteworthy effect on the electrochemical chloride removal (ECR), which was always ignored in the numerical simulation. Taking the impact of stirrup into consideration has disadvantages on improving the accurate of modeling results. In this paper, a three dimensional (3D) numerical model considering the impact of stirrup on ECR treatment was established, and an experiment was numerically studied to explore the validity of the model. The difference between the residual chloride concentration of simulation and experiment in most region of the concrete structure is within ± 25%. Based on this model, the effect of stirrups on ECR’s efficiency were explored. The results of numerical model shows that the stirrup has shielding effect on the chloride migration of the region between the stirrups, while in the region near the stirrup, it has positive on the chloride removal.
