Gate‐Align‐SED: Semi‐Supervised Sound Event Detection via Adaptive Feature Gating and Cross‐Task Alignment in Situation Awareness

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Overview of the proposed Gate‐Align‐SED, including two stages of training: (1) Mean‐Teacher SSL Training; and (2) Enhancer Model Training. In complex real‐world environments such as disaster monitoring, effective sound event detection (SED) is often hindered by the presence of noise and limited labeled data.

Border harm and affective injustice: The politics of anger at the Melilla border, Spain

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines protests in a detention center in Melilla, Spain—a site where structural violence intersects with the everyday harms of confinement. Adopting a justice and dignity‐centered perspective, we analyze grassroots forms of resistance emerging at the border. The study focuses on the protests of Tunisian migrants and explores the

Beyond Robodebt: Media Representations of Welfare and Fraud Before and After the Robodebt Royal Commission

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australia's Robodebt scheme, an automated debt recovery program introduced in 2016, was exposed by the Robodebt Royal Commission (RC) as a serious failure of public administration and source of significant harm for thousands of Australians. Through a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Australian news media, this study explores whether the RC'

Study on Natural Gas Decarbonization Process Based on CO2 Desublimation Characteristics

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural gas decarbonization is a crucial processing step. In this study, the snow separation technology for removal of carbon dioxide in natural gas based on CO2 desublimation characteristics was introduced. The phase equilibrium calculation of CH4‐CO2 and N2‐CO2 system was carried out by using cubic equations of states (EOSs), and identified ...

High Density Polyethylene/Ground Tire Rubber Composites Compatibilized by Dicumyl Peroxide

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the thermal behavior of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was first evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which confirmed a peak decomposition temperature around 172°C, highlighting its incompatibility with standard melt‐mixing techniques for most polyolefins. To overcome this limitation,
