TMSA‐Net: Transformer‐Based Multi‐Scale Attention U‐Net for Flood Image Segmentation

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flood detection is essential for real‐time applications, including disaster management, emergency response, and alerting people in flood zones. For successful flood detection, accurate flood region segmentation is essential. However, the flood region segmentation is challenging due to the complex background and occlusions with debris and the ...

Homogeneity evaluation of hot in-place recycling asphalt mixture using digital image processing technique

open access: yes, 2020
Hot in-place recycling (HIR) allows 100% reuse of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) directly on a construction site. However, the homogeneity of the HIR is difficult to be evaluated due to the complexity of the material composition and construction ...

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

Adhesion forces in asphalt mixtures at nanoscale

open access: yesCT&F - Ciencia, Tecnología y Futuro, 2017
ABSTRACT The adhesion forces between bitumen and minerals were measured, using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The AFM enables the study of the interactions between two molecules in a same surface or at interfaces and their behavior. In this case, bitumen samples with different properties were placed in contact with AFM modified tips.

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Multi-scale damage characterization of asphalt mixture subject to freeze-thaw cycles

open access: yes, 2020
This paper summarizes the results of laboratory tests including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray computed tomography (CT), a developed interfacial shear test and the indirect tensile test. These tests were performed to characterize the damage of

Associations of Outdoor Air Pollution With Incidence of Cancers Other Than Lung Cancer in a Large US Prospective Cohort

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1440-1454, 15 September 2026.
Associations between outdoor air pollution and cancers other than lung cancer remain unclear, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Here, the authors assessed possible links between ambient air pollutant exposure and incidence of 20 non‐lung cancers among adults followed over a 25‐year period in the United States.
