摘要Scientific analysis of aeolian sand environments is fundamental for sustainable disaster mitigation along desert highways.However,significant regional variability in wind energy conditions complicates accurate characterization of wind regimes and introduces uncertainty in determining optimal monitoring timescales.Moreover,prevailing sand control measures often rely on standardized designs rather than site-specific adaptive strategies.To address these issues,this study proposes an integrated framework for aeolian environment analysis and develops targeted disaster mitigation strategies tailored for desert highways.The proposed framework employs wavelet transform to unravel the periodic characteristics of wind speed time series and integrates multi-source data(including ERA5 wind datasets,sand samples,ASTER GDEM,and multi-temporal remote sensing imagery)to enable a comprehensive aeolian environmental assessment.Concurrently,a suite of adaptive strategies is formulated to mitigate disaster risks along desert highways.Validated through a case study of the Tumushuk-Kunyu Desert Highway in Xinjiang,China,the framework exhibits high accuracy:predictions of annual aeolian sand transport activity show relative errors mostly below 7%against long-term reference sequences,and the calculated resultant drift direction exhibits a strong correlation with observed dune migration,yielding an R-squared value of 0.96.These findings confirm the framework’s reliability and provide a robust basis for designing adaptive,location-specific mitigation strategies,thereby enhancing the sustainability of desert highway infrastructure.
摘要Digital pathology is rapidly transforming histopathological diagnosis,yet many existing deep learning models treat all spatial regions uniformly and do not exploit the multi-frequency structure of tissue,which limits both diagnostic accuracy and computational efficiency.This paper proposes WaSA-Net,an end-to-end architecture that integrates three complementary modules for histopathological image analysis.First,the Wavelet-Guided Tokenization(WGT)module decomposes input images into frequency-aware representations using learnable wavelet-like filters,so that both global tissue structures and fine-grained cellular patterns are exposed to attention from the first layer.Second,the Dynamic Sparse Attention with Pathology Priors(DSA-PP)module adaptively selects diagnostically informative tokens through a lightweight gating mechanism and incorporates learnable pathology prior tokens that embed domain-specific inductive biases,reducing attention complexity while preserving critical contextual information.Third,the Cross-Frequency Feature Pyramid Fusion(CFFPF)module performs bidirectional cross-attention across frequency bands and applies adaptive per-sample frequency weighting to identify the most discriminative frequency components for each tissue type.The proposed architecture is evaluated on three widely used histopathology benchmarks:PatchCamelyon for metastasis detection,PathMNIST for multi-class colorectal tissue classification,and BreakHis for breast cancer diagnosis.WaSA-Net achieves strong performance with only 4.8 M parameters,reaching 95.91%accuracy(AUC 0.9981)on PathMNIST,93.47%accuracy(AUC 0.9812)on PatchCamelyon,and 96.72%accuracy(AUC 0.9923)on BreakHis.Despite its compact design,WaSA-Net matches or surpasses larger models while requiring no external pretraining data.These results indicate that frequency-aware representations and dynamic sparse attention can improve both efficiency and diagnostic performance in digital pathology.
摘要Future 6G communications will open up opportunities for innovative applications,including Cyber-Physical Systems,edge computing,supporting Industry 5.0,and digital agriculture.While automation is creating efficiencies,it can also create new cyber threats,such as vulnerabilities in trust and malicious node injection.Denialof-Service(DoS)attacks can stop many forms of operations by overwhelming networks and systems with data noise.Current anomaly detection methods require extensive software changes and only detect static threats.Data collection is important for being accurate,but it is often a slow,tedious,and sometimes inefficient process.This paper proposes a new wavelet transformassisted Bayesian deep learning based probabilistic(WT-BDLP)approach tomitigate malicious data injection attacks in 6G edge networks.The proposed approach combines outlier detection based on a Bayesian learning conditional variational autoencoder(Bay-LCVariAE)and traffic pattern analysis based on continuous wavelet transform(CWT).The Bay-LCVariAE framework allows for probabilistic modelling of generative features to facilitate capturing how features of interest change over time,spatially,and for recognition of anomalies.Similarly,CWT allows emphasizing the multi-resolution spectral analysis and permits temporally relevant frequency pattern recognition.Experimental testing showed that the flexibility of the Bayesian probabilistic framework offers a vast improvement in anomaly detection accuracy over existing methods,with a maximum accuracy of 98.21%recognizing anomalies.
