Pipeline leak detection through acoustic signal measurement faces critical challenges, including insufficient utilization of time-frequency domain features, poor adaptability to noisy environments, and inadequate exploitation of frequency-domain prior knowledge in existing deep learning approaches. This paper proposes a Multi-Scale Frequency-Aware Transformer (MSFAT) architecture that integrates measurement-based acoustic signal analysis with artificial intelligence techniques. The MSFAT framework consists of four core components: a frequency-aware embedding layer that achieves joint representation learning of time-frequency dual-domain features through parallel temporal convolution and frequency transformation, a multi-head frequency attention mechanism that dynamically adjusts attention weights based on spectral distribution using frequency features as modulation signals, an adaptive noise filtering module that integrates noise detection, signal enhancement, and adaptive fusion functions through end-to-end joint optimization, and a multi-scale feature aggregation mechanism that extracts discriminative global representations through complementary pooling strategies. The proposed method addresses the fundamental limitations of traditional measurement-based detection systems by incorporating domain-specific prior knowledge into neural network architecture design. Experimental validation demonstrates that MSFAT achieves 97.2% accuracy and an F1-score, representing improvements of 10.5% and 10.9%, respectively, compared to standard Transformer approaches. The model maintains robust detection performance across signal-to-noise ratio conditions ranging from 5 to 30 dB, demonstrating superior adaptability to complex industrial measurement environments. Ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each innovative module, with frequency-aware mechanisms contributing most significantly to the enhanced measurement precision and reliability in pipeline leak detection applications.

Short-term traffic flow forecasting becomes especially difficult when incomplete observations, within-window frequency variation, and state-dependent sensor relations occur together. Missing readings can affect both node features and the spatial dependencies inferred from them, yet these issues are commonly modeled separately. We therefore propose RIFT-STGNN, a Robust Interleaved Frequency–Trend Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Network for multi-step traffic flow forecasting. RIFT-STGNN follows a coordinated information flow: observation status is retained during temporal–frequency encoding, the frequency representation supports both node features and graph construction, and four graph sources are fused before each Graph-GRU update. Trend-aware temporal attention then produces direct multi-step forecasts. Experiments on PEMS03, PEMS04, PEMS07, and PEMS08 show competitive numerical performance relative to selected literature-reported baselines under the 12-step setting. On PEMS04 and PEMS08, the three-run mean MAE values are 17.73 and 13.14, respectively. These values are numerically 4.63% and 9.00% lower than the corresponding literature-reported sAMDGCN values. Component ablations, state-dependent graph analysis, and controlled missing-rate experiments support the roles of dynamic graph learning, within-window frequency encoding, and mask-aware input handling under the evaluated settings.

Maritime traffic surveillance and ocean environmental protection urgently require the accurate identification of surface vessel types. Although deep learning methods have significantly improved the underwater acoustic target recognition performance, the existing models suffer from large parameter counts and fail to adapt to the multi-scale spectral features of radiated noise from different vessel types, restricting their practical deployment on power-constrained underwater sensors. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel path-routing convolution mechanism that achieves the discriminative extraction of cross-scale acoustic features through multi-dilation-rate parallel paths and an adaptive routing strategy and designs the MobilePR-ConvNet unified architecture that enables a single framework to automatically adapt to diverse hardware platforms through systematic width scaling. Experiments on the DeepShip and ShipsEar datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieved 98.58% and 97.82% recognition accuracies, respectively, while maintaining a 77.8% robust performance under 10 dB low-signal-to-noise-ratio conditions, validating the cross-dataset generalization capability in complex marine environments and providing an effective solution for intelligent deployment on resource-constrained underwater devices.

Variable-rate pesticide spraying and fertilizer application require coordinated operation of heterogeneous agricultural machines, particularly in irregular fields where task demands, vehicle mobility, payload capacity, energy consumption, and resupply requirements vary spatially. However, most existing studies optimize aerial spraying or ground fertilization separately and do not jointly consider prescription-map demands, air–ground synchronization, pesticide-drift risk, and agricultural vehicle constraints. This study formulates collaborative UAV spraying and UGV fertilization as a multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem with three objectives: minimizing system makespan, weighted energy consumption, and pesticide-drift penalty. A prescription-map-guided bi-level planning framework is proposed. At the upper level, the problem-specific TNSAOO solver determines UAV and UGV task sequences and collaborative resupply-point activation. At the lower level, adaptive Theta* and row-constrained Hybrid A* generate UAV spraying and UGV fertilization trajectories, respectively, while prescription-dependent application commands are assigned along active operation segments and a time-window mechanism detects and corrects residual air–ground conflicts. The framework was evaluated using 30 real farmland boundaries and 90 randomized prescription scenarios. Mean geometric coverage rates reached 98.82% for UAV spraying and 98.95% for UGV fertilization, while the mean prescription-compliance errors were 6.21% and 2.13%, respectively. In addition, 96.7% of the batch runs contained no more than one detected air–ground conflict, with a mean corrective waiting time of 1.07 s. Compared with traditional independent operation, collaborative planning reduced mean system makespan by 9.32%, weighted energy consumption by 7.21%, modeled drift penalty by 3.62%, and total path length by 5.79%. In the multi-objective comparison, TNSAOO obtained a mean hypervolume of 0.597 and a mean inverted generational distance of 0.375, showing competitive Pareto-search performance relative to established comparison algorithms, particularly NSGA-II. Additional terrain and drift sensitivity analyses produced systematic changes in energy, completion time, and modeled drift risk under controlled parameter perturbations. These findings demonstrate the simulation-based feasibility of jointly planning heterogeneous variable-rate spraying and fertilization under a shared prescription map. Physical field experiments remain necessary to validate spray deposition, fertilizer-distribution uniformity, terrain effects, and model calibration under environmental uncertainty.

Strong noise can obscure the transient and modulation signatures used for bearing fault diagnosis, while envelope-based methods remain sensitive to the frequency band selected before demodulation. This study proposes a learnable band-selective envelope fusion WDCNN (LBEF-WDCNN). A raw-waveform branch extracts temporal features, whereas an auxiliary branch applies four differentiable Gaussian masks, reconstructs the corresponding spectrally selected waveforms, and encodes their Hilbert envelope spectra. Both branches are trained jointly and combined using a fixed, sample-independent residual coefficient of 0.1. The method was evaluated on HUST using a matched-noise protocol comprising additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), colored noise, and impulse noise at 0, −6, and −10 dB, with additional dataset-specific evaluations on CWRU and PU. Across the nine HUST conditions, LBEF-WDCNN achieved the highest average Macro-F1 of 98.53% using 74,065 trainable parameters. At −10 dB AWGN, it reached 95.30% Macro-F1, exceeding DRSN-CW by 7.68 percentage points. Ablation results showed that learnable band selection improved the three-noise average at −10 dB from 94.79% for fixed bands to 96.73%. DRSN-CW remained stronger under severe impulse noise. These results indicate that the proposed representation is particularly effective under severe broadband contamination while retaining a compact model size.

Multi-horizon forecasts of rice leaf roller activity support advance surveillance planning. Routine light-trap and field-survey records differ in measurement meaning and availability, complicating their complementary use across future monitoring periods. We developed DRAMM-Pest, a mask-aware dual-measurement model in which available field histories condition temporal states derived from light-trap history before horizon-specific aggregation. The model jointly predicts positive-catch probability and light-trap rate over six successive monitoring periods, with observed field-survey targets providing auxiliary supervision during training. On a public 24-year rice leaf roller dataset covering 11 sites, chronological testing on 2020–2023 yielded a light-trap-rate RMSLE of 0.837±0.029 and a Brier score of 0.084±0.004. The corresponding absolute reductions relative to XGBoost were 0.25023 and 0.00859, respectively. Removing all field information or retaining only its binary availability indicator increased mean light-trap-rate MAE by 3.12 and 2.74, respectively. The findings support using complementary monitoring records as historical context and training targets within a horizon-specific forecasting framework for pest-surveillance planning.
