A Fast Sparse Decomposition Based on the Teager Energy Operator in Extraction of Weak Fault Signals
Authors: Yan Baokang , Li Zhiqian , Zhou Fengqi , Lv Xu , Zhou Fengxing
Published: October 2022

In order to diagnose an incipient fault in rotating machinery under complicated conditions, a fast sparse decomposition based on the Teager energy operator (TEO) is proposed in this paper. In this proposed method, firstly, the TEO is employed to enhance the envelope of the impulses, which is more sensitive to frequency and can eliminate the low-frequency harmonic component and noise; secondly, a smoothing filtering algorithm was adopted to suppress the noise in the TEO envelope; thirdly, the fault signal was reconstructed by multiplication of the filtered TEO envelope and the original fault signal; finally, sparse decomposition was used based on a generalized S-transform (GST) to obtain the sparse representation of the signal. The proposed preprocessing method using the filtered TEO can overcome the interference of high-frequency noise while maintaining the structure of fault impulses, which helps the processed signal perform better on sparse decomposition; sparse decomposition based on GST was used to represent the fault signal more quickly and more accurately. Simulation and application prove that the proposed method has good accuracy and efficiency, especially in conditions of very low SNR, such as impulses with anSNR of −8.75 dB that are submerged by noise of the same amplitude.

Published: October 2022

COVID-19 has infected millions of people worldwide over the past few years. The main technique used for COVID-19 detection is reverse transcription, which is expensive, sensitive, and requires medical expertise. X-ray imaging is an alternative and more accessible technique. This study aimed to improve detection accuracy to create a computer-aided diagnostic tool. Combining other artificial intelligence applications techniques with radiological imaging can help detect different diseases. This study proposes a technique for the automatic detection of COVID-19 and other chest-related diseases using digital chest X-ray images of suspected patients by applying transfer learning (TL) algorithms. For this purpose, two balanced datasets, Dataset-1 and Dataset-2, were created by combining four public databases and collecting images from recently published articles. Dataset-1 consisted of 6000 chest X-ray images with 1500 for each class. Dataset-2 consisted of 7200 images with 1200 for each class. To train and test the model, TL with nine pretrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) was used with augmentation as a preprocessing method. The network was trained to classify using five classifiers: two-class classifier (normal and COVID-19); three-class classifier (normal, COVID-19, and viral pneumonia), four-class classifier (normal, viral pneumonia, COVID-19, and tuberculosis (Tb)), five-class classifier (normal, bacterial pneumonia, COVID-19, Tb, and pneumothorax), and six-class classifier (normal, bacterial pneumonia, COVID-19, viral pneumonia, Tb, and pneumothorax). For two, three, four, five, and six classes, our model achieved a maximum accuracy of 99.83, 98.11, 97.00, 94.66, and 87.29%, respectively.

The increasing isolation of the elderly both in their own homes and in care homes has made the problem of caring for elderly people who live alone an urgent priority. This article presents a proposed design for a heterogeneous multirobot system consisting of (i) a small mobile robot to monitor the well-being of elderly people who live alone and suggest activities to keep them positive and active and (ii) a domestic mobile manipulating robot that helps to perform household tasks. The entire system is integrated in an automated home environment (AAL), which also includes a set of low-cost automation sensors, a medical monitoring bracelet and an Android application to propose emotional coaching activities to the person who lives alone. The heterogeneous system uses ROS, IoT technologies, such as Node-RED, and the Home Assistant Platform. Both platforms with the home automation system have been tested over a long period of time and integrated in a real test environment, with good results. The semantic segmentation of the navigation and planning environment in the mobile manipulator for navigation and movement in the manipulation area facilitated the tasks of the later planners. Results about the interactions of users with the applications are presented and the use of artificial intelligence to predict mood is discussed. The experiments support the conclusion that the assistance robot correctly proposes activities, such as calling a relative, exercising, etc., during the day, according to the user’s detected emotional state, making this is an innovative proposal aimed at empowering the elderly so that they can be autonomous in their homes and have a good quality of life.

UD.Ridwan is one of the community businesses in West Aceh, precisely in Ujong Kalak, which processes fish waste into animal feed. UD.Ridwan in its business activities has experienced several problems in the part of the supply of raw materials that are not fixed, because the amount of fish waste is not fixed per day. UD. RIDWAN in its production activities, every 1 kg of raw materials used can produce 761 grams of feed product. As a result, the results of feed production are also not fixed, and cannot fulfill orders from consumers, so there is often a mismatch between demand and orders. This will lead to unfulfilled consumer demand and delays in distribution to each distribution center (DC). UD. Ridwan distributes his products to existing DCs, namely: Medan, Banda Aceh, and Lhokseumawe. To fix the losses faced by the company, it is necessary to measure the performance of the supply chain first. There are several models of supply chain performance measurement systems, namely: POA (Performance of Activity) and SCOR (Supply Chain Operation Reference). POA is a model used to measure the performance of activities that are part of the process in the supply chain. Activity performance is measured in various dimensions, namely: costs, time, capacity, capabilities, productivity, utilization and outcomes. Meanwhile, SCOR is basically a model based on a process

Authors: Dang Thai Hoa
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to analyze the  financial efficiency, determine influencing factors and propose solutions to developing organic rice farming models. The results showed that while it requires farmers to have more production experience and education, organic rice farming has advantages in producing more per land area with lower production costs and more stable product output. The lack of labor and tools for mechanization were the main difficulties of using this model. The average profit per crop of the organic rice model was1,768,000 VND/1,000 m2/crop, approximately 530,300 VND/1,000 m2/crop higher than the traditional rice model. Regression analysis results showed that the financial performance of the two models was affected by the educational level of farmers and types of costs such as fertilizers, pesticides and labor. Production experience of farmers also influences the efficiency of the organic rice production model, while factors relatedto seed and selling price affect the efficiency of the traditional rice production model.
A SIMPLIFIED ASSESSMENT OF THE LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF SUCTION CAISSON FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES BASED ON FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Authors: Nguyen Hung Tan , Quang Bui Vinh , Huynh Hiep Van
Published: October 2022

Suction caisson is widely used for offshore wind turbine applications. Its loadbearing capacity depends on the bucket geometry and its embedded soil properties. This paper presents a simplified assessment of the loadbearing capacity of suction caisson based on finite element analysis using the Plaxis 2D program. The load-bearing capacity of the suction caisson is determined based on the resulting load-displacement curve via the tangent intersection method. In addition, this study developed an equivalent equation exploring the relationship between the load-bearing capacity of the suction caisson and the surface foundation. The findingsin the study showed that the geometry of the suction has a significant influence on its loadbearing capacity. The suction caissons whose aspect ratios are larger resulted in higher loadbearing capacities. Besides, the equivalent equation in this study could be applied to effectively estimate the load-bearing capacity of suctioncaisson based on its geometry. The finite element program and the soil ground model analyzed in this study was only an assumption. In the future, experimental studies should investigate the loadbearing capacity of a suction caisson related to its geometry and the embedded soil profile using centrifuge models and large-scale models.

Authors: Yapp Emily H.T. , Yeap Jasmine A.L.
Published: October 2022

In the last couple of years, Millennials have emerged as the largest user segment of e-hailing services. Although e-hailing services have prospered, there is not much research that fully explores Millennial users’ satisfaction, particularly on e-hailing services. One of the most influential factors leading to users’ satisfaction in e-hailing services is perceived value. The purpose of this study is to determine the aspects of perceived value (economic value, convenience value, symbolic value, sustainability value and hedonic value) that lead to users’ satisfaction and whether time availability moderates the relationship between convenience value and satisfaction. The Partial Least Squares analysis on the data collected from 493 Millennials revealed that economic value, convenience value, sustainability value and hedonic value had a significant impact on satisfaction but not symbolic value. Interestingly, time availability was not found to moderate the relationship between convenience value and satisfaction. The findings are duly discussed in this paper.

Some conditions for the integration of theories are highlighted and analyzed. Among them are differentiation, potential for generalization, dynamic structures and divergent functions, levels and multidimensionality, mediation, relativity and complementarity, integrative qualities. Particular attention is paid to three kinds of commonality, namely, causal, generalizing and intertwining ones. These varieties of commonality are theoretical in nature, and they need empirical support. For this, first of all, they need to be converted into empirical concepts and operationalized. The operationalization of cross-theoretical integrations and their empirical study propose three criteria such as the commonality, the mediation, and the time. Confirmatory factor analysis (one-factor and two-factor) is in use to examine the commonality. Structural equation modeling is used to investigate the mediation. The time distinguishes between the present, the future in relation to the present, and the future as an updated present (realized future).

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rising alarmingly throughout the world, and it is one of the major public health menace due to the significant morbidity and mortality it is associated with. The burden of CKD inexplicably affects low-income nations like Kenya, where the two main public health concerns for the CKD growth rate are hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of chronic kidney disease diabetes mellitus patients and also assess their awareness, perspectives and prevalence of CKD. A hospital based cross-sectional study design was conducted at a rural hospital in central Kenya among adult (≥18 years) diabetes mellitus patients. Sample size was determined using Yamane Taro formula. Informed written consent was obtained from each participant and data was collected by interview and chart review; Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated from serum creatinine using modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula, while CKD was defined as eGFR of less than 60mls/min/1.73m2 for more than three months. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent determinants of CKD and a p-value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Majority of the participants (43.42%) were aged between50-60 years and 95 (62.5%) of them were females. Participants with history of high blood pressure had a 129.4 %(AOR;1.29495% CI, 2.401-.698) risk of having CKD, while those who did not perform physical exercises were found to be 123.3% (AOR 1.233, 95% CL,1.889-.805) times more likely to have CKD Only 39 (25.8%) of the participants had average awareness about CKD and its risk factors. The overall unadjusted prevalence of CKD among diabetic patients was 78.2% (n= 119, 95% CI). The researcher found that existing history of hypertension, lack of physical exercises, family history of kidney disease, rural residency and low levels of education were independent determinants associated ......
