Article Synopsis
  • The advancement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has improved urban target detection, but challenges like subtle features and complex backgrounds still hinder accuracy.
  • The introduction of the Polysemantic Cooperative Detection Transformer (Pc-DETR), featuring the innovative Polysemantic Transformer (PoT) Backbone, enhances detection by utilizing contextual information and a dynamic attention matrix.
  • The new training scheme, Polysemantic Cooperative Mixed-Task Training, increases learning capacity through diverse label assignments, achieving a 3% accuracy improvement over existing models like MFEFNet and pushing the boundaries for UAV surveillance systems.

UV/chlor(am)ine are efficient for achieving multiple-barrier disinfection and maintaining residuals, while bromide (Br) has notable impacts on the formation and toxicity of halonitromethanes (HNMs) during UV/chlor(am)ine disinfection. This study investigated the effects of Br on HNMs formation and toxicity alteration during UV/chlor(am)ine disinfection of nitrate containing humic acid (HA) water. Results reveal that the maximum concentration of HNMs during UV/chlorine disinfection was 12.

Investigations were conducted to examine the effects of amine type and initial concentration, free chlorine concentration, UV light intensity, pH and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) on the formation of dichloronitromethane (DCNM) under UV/chlorine. Methylamine (MA), dimethylamine (DMA) and poly-dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PolyDADMAC) were selected as the amine precursors of DCNM. And the reaction products of amines were explored through observing the contents of various nitrogen under UV/chlorine.
