PCTC-Net: A Crack Segmentation Network with Parallel Dual Encoder Network Fusing Pre-Conv-Based Transformers and Convolutional Neural Networks.

Cracks are common defects that occur on the surfaces of objects and structures. Crack detection is a critical maintenance task that traditionally requires manual labor. Large-scale manual inspections are expensive.

Access-Point Centered Window-Based Radio-Map Generation Network.

Fingerprinting is the term used to describe a common indoor radio-mapping positioning technology that tracks moving objects in real time. To use this, a substantial number of measurement processes and workflows are needed to generate a radio-map. Accordingly, to minimize costs and increase the usability of such radio-maps, this study proposes an access-point (AP)-centered window (APCW) radio-map generation network (RGN).

High-Precision RTT-Based Indoor Positioning System Using RCDN and RPN.

Wi-Fi round-trip timing (RTT) was applied to indoor positioning systems based on distance estimation. RTT has a higher reception instability than the received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based fingerprint in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments with many obstacles, resulting in large positioning errors due to multipath fading. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose high-precision RTT-based indoor positioning system using an RTT compensation distance network (RCDN) and a region proposal network (RPN).

Silylative carbocyclization of allenyl-carbonyl units with Et3SiH catalyzed by rhodium: cis-stereoselective synthesis of homoallylic cycloalkanols.

[reaction: see text] A new procedure for the synthesis of cis-2-triethylsilylvinyl-cyclopentanols and -cyclohexanols from allenyl-aldehydes and -ketones with Et(3)SiH through rhodium-catalyzed silylative carbocyclization is described. The use of Rh(acac)(CO)(2) (1 mol %) to promote the reaction results in a mild and convenient protocol for the three-component assembly.
