A dynamic 3D reconstruction technology for construction sites was proposed to ensure safety and efficiency in the construction process. A Binocular camera was deployed to scan the reconstruction site in 3D to obtain the model base and target activity trajectory. The YOLOv8 model was enhanced with an attentional scale sequence fusion (ASF) module to form the YOLOv8-ASF framework, which improved the accuracy and performance of the model, to solve the pain points such as target occlusion and target loss. The improved semi-global block matching (SGBM) algorithm was fused, and the YOLOv8-ASF-SGBM algorithm was integrated with the YOLOv8-ASF to achieve near-real-time target recognition and localization based on 2D images. The obtained depth information was used to 3D project the behavior trajectories of dynamic elements into the substrate, to realize the near-real-time and full-view monitoring of the real construction site. Experimental results show that the proposed technology reproduces the movement trajectory of construction dynamic elements in high-precision three-dimensional, and the relative error with the real motion trajectory of dynamic elements is less than 5%, which can realize high-precision full-view three-dimensional monitoring based on two-dimensional image and video information, and has good application scenarios and engineering value.

In order to portray the public emotion orientation caused by the public opinion on traffic incidents disseminated in short videos, a physiological feature graph was constructed by the text sentiment analysis and the multimodal physiological signal feature extraction. This work collected 136 highly-liked videos with 38 805 comments on TikTok. Considering all videos as a document set, with each video treated as a document and comments as words, the latent Dirichlet allocation topic model was adopted to obtain the distribution of comments under different topics and the distribution of topics under different videos. Naive Bayes-based SnowNLP was utilized to calculate the sentiment scores of comments and analyze the sentiment tendencies expressed by different opinion topics. Neuroscience experiments were carried out to collect multimodal physiological signals such as EEG, eye movement, ECG, and respiration as well as emotion ratings. Statistical test results show that videos with different sentiment tendencies induce different emotions, and the multimodal physiological features such as the relative spectral power of EEG, blinking frequency, respiration standard deviation, and the very low-frequency power of ECG are specific under different emotions. The emotional semantics embedded in the comments influence public emotion in various ways beyond that evoked by videos.

A finite element numerical model of the segregated foundation pit was established based on the case of a deep foundation pit in Hangzhou adjacent to an operating underground shield tunnel in order to analyze the influence of the construction sequence, the separation wall location and other factors on the deformation of deep and large foundation pits and adjacent facilities caused by the segregated-pit construction. The reasonableness of the parameters of the HSS model was verified by combining with the measured data. The influence of the construction sequence of the "platform" type segregated pit on the displacements of out-of-pit strata and existing adjacent tunnels were analyzed by combining with a simplified model based on the case. Results show that the displacements of strata and tunnels caused by the excavation of the segregated pit in Hangzhou soft soil are related to the construction sequence, the location of the separation wall, the thickness of the soft clay, and the relative position of the tunnel and the pit. The deformation of the close pit retaining wall, the surface settlement and the tunnel displacement will be greater with a wider far sub-pit when the close sub-pit is firstly constructed. An opposite finding is observed if the far sub-pit is firstly excavated, and the optimal control effect on the deformation of the retaining wall and adjacent tunnels is achieved by dividing the ratio of the far sub-pit width to the close one by 3.0 to 4.0 and the width of the close sub-pit by 15 m to 20 m. The deformation of the close pit retaining wall, the surface settlement and the tunnel displacement caused by the two sub-pit construction sequences will increase as the thickness of the soft clay layer increases. The concept of the displacement impact zone resulting from different sub-pit construction sequences was proposed, and the demarcation line of the zone can be simplified to be a straight line with an angle of 45° to the wall of the pit. The range of the displacement impact zone which is defined as the strata displacement caused by the close-first-then-far construction sequence is smaller than that of the far-first-then-close construction sequence gradually decreases with the increase of the width of the far sub-pit and the thickness of the soft clay layer. A parametric analysis was conducted to propose formula for fitting the demarcation line of the impact zones related to the location of the separation wall and the thickness of the soft soil layer.

Foundational models in natural language processing, computer vision and multimodal learning have achieved significant breakthroughs in recent years, showcasing the potential of general artificial intelligence. However, these models still fall short of human or animal intelligence in areas such as causal reasoning and understanding physical commonsense. This is because these models primarily rely on vast amounts of data and computational power, lacking direct interaction with and experiential learning from the real world. Many researchers are beginning to question whether merely scaling up model size is sufficient to address these fundamental issues. This has led the academic community to reevaluate the nature of intelligence, suggesting that intelligence arises not just from enhanced computational capabilities but from interactions with the environment. Embodied intelligence is gaining attention as it emphasizes that intelligent agents learn and adapt through direct interactions with the physical world, exhibiting characteristics closer to biological intelligence. A comprehensive survey of embodied artificial intelligence was provided in the context of foundational models. The underlying technical ideas, benchmarks, and applications of current embodied agents were discussed. A forward-looking analysis of future trends and challenges in embodied AI was offered.

LSDYNA was used to analyze the propagation characteristics and distribution characteristics of stress wave in layered rock mass by considering the static load, dynamic load and the dip angle. The sensitivity of different factors to the peak stress and secondary equilibrium stress of surrounding rock was analyzed by orthogonal test. A stress prediction model under the influence of multiple factors was established based on the dimensional analysis in order to determine the safety load control range of surrounding rock. Results showed that there was initial stress concentration in the surrounding rock of tunnel under high ground stress. The dynamic load had a significant impact on the value of stress concentration.

The gas reservoir volume of a cryogenic loop heat pipe (CLHP) is usually 30 to 100 times the total volume of the other components, and its weight accounts for the largest proportion. To realize the lightweight design of CLHPs and improve the utilization rate of satellite payload resources, research was conducted on the mechanism of the influence of gas reservoir volume on the startup and steady-state operating characteristics of CLHPs. A start-up model and a steady-state failure model of CLHPs were established, and theoretical and experimental validation studies were carried out on the influence of gas reservoir volume on key parameters of the condensation temperature, evaporation temperature of the secondary evaporator and heat transfer thermal resistance. Results showed that, by increasing the design value of the evaporation temperature of the secondary evaporator, the CLHP experimental prototype started up smoothly with a gas reservoir volume only 11 times the total volume of the other components. The effect of different gas reservoir volumes on the heat transfer thermal resistance of CLHPs was negligible when the primary heat load was high. When the volume of the primary compensation chamber was certain, the regulating ability of the primary compensation chamber could be enhanced by decreasing the volume of the gas reservoir, thereby expanding the range of primary heat load for stable operation of the CLHPs.
