Makeup transfer using generative adversarial network by Feng, Qiyuan

“…Its main function is to transfer the makeup of the reference makeup portrait to the non-makeup portrait, so that users can try different makeup at will to find the makeup that suits them. Existing research uses model structures such as feedforward neural networks and generative adversarial networks to generate high-quality and high-fidelity portraits. …”

LNG bunkering infrastructure planning at port by Guo, Yu, Yan, Ran, Qi, Jingwen, Liu, Yannick, Wang, S., Zhen, Lu

“…The objective of this study is to determine the optimal bunkering method at a port using an integer linear programming (ILP) model considering three kinds of costs: fixed, variable, and extra. To find the optimal bunkering method, the three methods and their related constraints are modeled into the ILP model. …”
