Scale interaction is studied in wall-bounded turbulence by focusing on the frequency modulation (FM) mechanism of large scales on small scale velocity fluctuations. Differently from amplitude modulation analysis, frequency modulation has…
The growing proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) poses major challenges for reliable airspace surveillance, as drones are typically small, have low radar cross-sections, and often move slowly in cluttered environments. These…
Most semantic drift studies report multiple signals e.g., embedding displacement, neighbor changes, distributional divergence, and recursive trajectory instability, without a shared explanatory theory that relates them. This paper proposes…
To develop the most appropriate control strategy and monitor, maintain, and evaluate the traffic performance of the freeway weaving areas, state and local Departments of Transportation need to have access to traffic flows at each pair of…
