The multi-lane roundabout poses significant challenges for autonomous driving due to its complex road structure and traffic conditions. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel Neural Model Predictive Control (NMPC)-based decision-making framework that integrates prediction, planning, and control for autonomous vehicles to navigate multi-lane roundabouts. The proposed NMPC framework learns a dynamical model, incorporating interaction data, to accurately predict the behavior of surrounding traffic participants. Multiple candidate static paths are then generated based on the road structure, and the decision-making problem is formulated as a series of parallel static path tracking control problems subject to safety constraints. The static path with minimal tracking cost is selected as the target reference path, and the tracking control is generated simultaneously. To enhance computational efficiency, NMPC utilizes a critic network and an actor network to approximate the tracking cost and the control policy, respectively. Experimental evaluation on a multi-lane roundabout simulator, based on a real roundabout in Beijing, demonstrates that the proposed method performs better in terms of driving safety and efficiency compared to several baseline algorithms across various traffic densities.

This work presents the design of a single-layer absorptive metasurface capable of achieving broadband absorption across the X -band over a wide range of incidence angles. The design introduces novelty through its unit cell configuration, angular stability, enhanced fractional bandwidth, and absorption without the use of an air gap. Both measured and simulated results are in strong agreement, underscoring the potential of the proposed metasurface for radar cross-section (RCS) reduction applications. Overall, the absorption ratio (AR) exceeds 80% for incidence angles up to 50°, highlighting its effectiveness for practical applications.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common age-related problem and progresses in different stages, from cognitively normal to early mild cognitive impairment, and severe dementia. This study investigates the predictive potential of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and its derived functional connectivity (FC) in understanding Alzheimer's progression. Leveraging deep learning and graph-based models, we introduce two key contributions: 1) a comparative analysis of rs-fMRI time points and FC for Alzheimer's prediction. 2) an innovative graph transformer variant incorporating self-clustering for enhanced prediction accuracy. Experiments on the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset with 830 subjects reveal two notable conclusions. Firstly, rs-fMRI time points offer limited utility compared to functional network connectivity for transformer-based models, even when considering temporal information. Secondly, a clustering-based attention module proves effective for classifying brain networks in predicting Alzheimer's disease progression, providing valuable insights for future research and clinical applications.
