Seismic design of friction damped braced steel plane frames by energy methods

description: The investigation described in this thesis represents the first known attempt to develop a simplified method for the seismic design of structures equipped with a novel friction damping system. The system has been shown experimentally to perform very well and is an exciting development in earthquake resistant design. The design of a building equipped with the friction damping system is achieved by determining the optimum slip load distribution to minimize structural response. A new efficient numerical modelling approach for the analysis and design of Friction Damped Braced Frames (FDBF) is presented. The hysteretic properties of the friction devices are derived theoretically and included in a Friction Damped Braced Frame Analysis Program (FDBFAP), which is adaptable to a microcomputer environment. The optimum slip load distribution is determined by minimizing a Relative Performance Index (RPI) derived from energy concepts. The steady-state response of a single storey friction damped structure subjected to sinusoidal ground motion is investigated analytically. Basic design information on the optimum slip load for the friction device is obtained. The parameters governing the optimum slip load, which minimizes the amplitude for any forcing frequency, are derived. The study indicates that the optimum slip load depends on the characteristics of the ground motion and of the structure. Using variational principles on a shear beam analogy, an optimum slip load distribution along the height of the structure is derived when the total amount of slip load is specified. It is shown that the optimum slip load is proportional to the slope of the deflected shape of the structure. The results of the study reveal that only a small improvement in the response is obtained by using this optimum distribution compared to the response obtained with a uniform distribution. Therefore the use of an optimum uniform distribution seems adequate for the design of friction damped structures. Taking into account the analytical results obtained, FDBFAP is then used in a parametric study which leads to the construction of a design slip load spectrum. The spectrum depends on the properties of the structure and ground motion anticipated at the construction site. It is believed that the availability of this design slip load spectrum will lead to a greater acceptance by the engineering profession of this new and innovative structural concept.

description: Humans are very effective at interpreting subtle properties of the partner's movement and use this skill to promote smooth interactions. Therefore, robotic platforms that support human partners in daily activities should acquire similar abilities. In this work we focused on the features of human motor actions that communicate insights on the weight of an object and the carefulness required in its manipulation. Our final goal is to enable a robot to autonomously infer the degree of care required in object handling and to discriminate whether the item is light or heavy, just by observing a human manipulation. This preliminary study represents a promising step towards the implementation of those abilities on a robot observing the scene with its camera. Indeed, we succeeded in demonstrating that it is possible to reliably deduct if the human operator is careful when handling an object, through machine learning algorithms relying on the stream of visual acquisition from either a robot camera or from a motion capture system. On the other hand, we observed that the same approach is inadequate to discriminate between light and heavy objects.

description: Nanostructures can be used for boosting the light outcoupling of color centers in diamond; however, the fiber coupling performance of these nanostructures is rarely investigated. Here, we use a finite element method for computing the emission from color centers in inverted nanocones and the overlap of this emission with the propagation mode in a single-mode fiber. Using different figures of merit, the inverted nanocone parameters are optimized to obtain maximal fiber coupling efficiency, free-space collection efficiency, or rate enhancement. The optimized inverted nanocone designs show promising results with 66% fiber coupling or 83% free-space coupling efficiency at the tin-vacancy center zero-phonon line wavelength of 619 nm. Moreover, when evaluated for broadband performance, the optimized designs show 55% and 76% for fiber coupling and free-space efficiencies respectively, for collecting the full tin-vacancy emission spectrum at room temperature. An analysis of fabrication insensitivity indicates that these nanostructures are robust against imperfections. For maximum emission rate into a fiber mode, a design with a Purcell factor of 2.34 is identified. Finally, possible improvements offered by a hybrid inverted nanocone, formed by patterning into two different materials, are investigated, and increases the achievable fiber coupling efficiency to 71%.

description: Confidentiality hinders the publication of authentic, labeled datasets of personal and enterprise data, although they could be useful for evaluating knowledge graph construction approaches in industrial scenarios. Therefore, our plan is to synthetically generate such data in a way that it appears as authentic as possible. Based on our assumption that knowledge workers have certain habits when they produce or manage data, generation patterns could be discovered which can be utilized by data generators to imitate real datasets. In this paper, we initially derived 11 distinct patterns found in real spreadsheets from industry and demonstrate a suitable generator called Data Sprout that is able to reproduce them. We describe how the generator produces spreadsheets in general and what altering effects the implemented patterns have.

description: Dynamical processes induced by the external time-dependent fields can provide valuable insight into the characteristic energy scales of a given physical system. We investigate them here in a nanoscopic heterostructure, consisting of the double quantum dot coupled in series to the superconducting and the metallic reservoirs, analyzing its response to (i)~abrupt bias voltage applied across the junction, (ii) sudden change of the energy levels, and imposed by (iii)~their periodic driving. We explore subgap properties of this setup which are strictly related to the in-gap quasiparticles and discuss their signatures manifested in the time-dependent charge currents. The characteristic multi-mode oscillations, their beating patters and photon-assisted harmonics reveal a rich spectrum of dynamical features that might be important for designing the superconducting qubits.

description: In recent years, Face Image Quality Assessment (FIQA) has become an indispensable part of the face recognition system to guarantee the stability and reliability of recognition performance in an unconstrained scenario. For this purpose, the FIQA method should consider both the intrinsic property and the recognizability of the face image. Most previous works aim to estimate the sample-wise embedding uncertainty or pair-wise similarity as the quality score, which only considers the information from partial intra-class. However, these methods ignore the valuable information from the inter-class, which is for estimating to the recognizability of face image. In this work, we argue that a high-quality face image should be similar to its intra-class samples and dissimilar to its inter-class samples. Thus, we propose a novel unsupervised FIQA method that incorporates Similarity Distribution Distance for Face Image Quality Assessment (SDD-FIQA). Our method generates quality pseudo-labels by calculating the Wasserstein Distance (WD) between the intra-class similarity distributions and inter-class similarity distributions. With these quality pseudo-labels, we are capable of training a regression network for quality prediction. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed SDD-FIQA surpasses the state-of-the-arts by an impressive margin. Meanwhile, our method shows good generalization across different recognition systems.

description: We provide a classification of near-horizon geometries of supersymmetric, asymptotically anti-de Sitter, black holes of five-dimensional U(1)^3-gauged supergravity which admit two rotational symmetries. We find three possibilities: a topologically spherical horizon, an S^1 \times S^2 horizon and a toroidal horizon. The near-horizon geometry of the topologically spherical case turns out to be that of the most general known supersymmetric, asymptotically anti-de Sitter, black hole of U(1)^3-gauged supergravity. The other two cases have constant scalars and only exist in particular regions of this moduli space -- in particular they do not exist within minimal gauged supergravity. We also find a solution corresponding to the near-horizon geometry of a three-charge supersymmetric black ring held in equilibrium by a conical singularity; when lifted to type IIB supergravity this solution can be made regular, resulting in a discrete family of warped AdS(3) geometries. Analogous results are presented in U(1)^n gauged supergravity.

description: Bigraphen wurden von Robin Milner als grundlegende Theorie und Modellierungsformalismus für Strukturen im Ubiquitous Computing vorgeschlagen, wobei Bigraphische Reactive Systeme (BRS) das dynamische Verhalten erfassen. Ein BRS beschreibt, auf welche Arten sich eine Struktur durch Anwendung von Transformationsregeln – Reaktionsregeln –entwickeln kann. Die Reaktionsregeln machen es möglich, Teile von Bigraphen selektiv umzuschreiben. Bestehende Werkzeuge für bigraphisches Denken konzentrieren sich auf theoretische Aspekte, was ihre praktische Anwendung behindert. In dieser Arbeit stellen wir Werkzeuge vor, um bei Spezifikation zu helfen und das Problem vom Umschreiben in Bigraphen mit Graphoperationen anzugehen. Damit fördern wir eine (in Bezug auf die ursprüngliche Theorie) einfachere, praxistaugliche Sicht auf Bigraphen. Das konkrete Ergebnis ist ein Forschungsprototyp, der auf Rapid-Prototyping-Einrichtungen für technische Anwendungen abzielt. Insbesondere führen wir die Unterstützung für Portvariablen mit lokalem Gültigkeitsbereich in Reaktionen ein und bieten eine genaue Definition des Umschreibungsprozesses mit Graphoperationen inklusive Unterstützung von Roots, Sites und Ports. Wir evaluieren unseren Ansatz zur Spezifikation und schnellem Prototyping mittels eines herausfordernden Szenarios im Bereich von Edge-Computing.
description: Bigraphs have been proposed by Robin Milner as a fundamental theory and modeling formalism for structures in ubiquitous computing, with Bigraphical Reactive Systems capturing dynamic behavior. A BRS describes possible ways with which a structure can evolve through application of transformation rules –called reaction rules– which selectively rewrite parts of a bigraph. Existing tool support for bigraphical reasoning focuses on theoretical aspects, thus hindering their adoption for engineering applications.In this thesis, we provide facilities to aid specification as well as tackle the rewriting problem in bigraphs with graph operations, promoting a simpler (with respect to theoriginal theory) view of bigraphs, suited for practical purposes. The concrete outcome isa research prototype that aims at rapid prototyping facilities for engineering applications.Specifically, we introduce support for locally-scoped port variables in reactions, and provide a precise definition of the rewriting process with graph operations including support for roots, sites and ports. We evaluate our approach to specification and rapid prototyping over a challenging scenario within edge computing.
The effect of excess carbon in the anoxic basin of a biological pre-denitrification system for the treatment of landfill leachate
Creators: name: Carley, Brian Neal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study investigated the effect of excess carbon loading in the anoxic reactor on the nitrogen removal capacity of a biological pre-denitrification system for the treatment of a high ammonia leachate. The influent leachate was low in degradable organic carbon, thus an external carbon source was needed for denitrification requirements. Four different carbon sources were studied: methanol, glucose, acetate, and a waste brewer's yeast. The carbon loading was increased over the duration of the experimental period. The COD:NOx added to the anoxic reactor reached more than three times the carbon loading required to just achieve complete denitrification. All four carbon sources were found to support denitrification, but the glucose system showed erratic behaviour and ultimately failed after reaching a CODrNOx loading of about 23:1. The system using acetate appeared to require the least amount of COD:NOx (5.9:1) for complete denitrification, followed closely by methanol (6.2:1), then the yeast waste (8.5:1), and finally by glucose (9:1). Carbon breakthrough, the bleeding of carbon from the anoxic reactor into the aerobic reactor, was observed to occur just after complete denitrification was reached. The excess carbon did not appear to have any effect on denitrification, except in the case of the glucose system. The unit nitrification was found to decrease as the CODrNOx was increased, even though the ammonia removal remained at 100%. The decrease in nitrification, with respect to the COD:NOx, was most pronounced in the system that used methanol, and about equal in the other three systems. The cause of the decrease in nitrification is suspected to be due to increased ammonia assimilation by the heterotrophs rather than an inhibition of the nitrifiers. Nitrification ceased in the glucose system, but was restored within 12 days after the glucose addition was halted. The cause of the failure of the nitrogen removal process in the glucose system was not determined. Nitrite accumulation was observed in all the systems except the methanol system. The yeast waste system had nitrite accumulation in the aerobic reactor at C0D:N0x loadings over 25:1. Free ammonia inhibition of Nitrobacter is suspected to be the cause of aerobic nitrite buildup. The glucose and acetate systems had nitrite buildup in the anoxic reactor until complete denitrification was achieved. Facultative anaerobic bacteria are suspected of causing this nitrite accumulation. This theory was supported by observations in the glucose system, such as low anoxic pH; this may have been due to volatile fatty acids produced from fermentation.

Since then, studies about hyperbolic decays of luminescence have been carried on in different physical contexts. In this paper we generalize the Becquerel decay law by using a Mittag-Leffler function with a logarithmic argument, and discuss its physical interpretation in light of recently published results.

description: We construct supergravity solutions describing a stack of D3-branes localized at a point on a blown-up cycle of a resolved L^{a,b,c} cone. The geometry flows from AdS_5 x L^{a,b,c} to AdS_5 x S^5/Z_k. The corresponding quiver gauge theory undergoes an RG flow between two superconformal fixed points, which leads to semi-infinite chains of flows between the various L^{a,b,c} fixed points. The general system is described by a triplet of Heun equations which can each be solved by an expansion with a three-term recursion relation, though there are closed-form solutions for certain cases. This enables us to read off the operators which acquire non-zero vacuum expectation values as the quiver gauge theory flows away from a fixed point.

description: Singh et al. (2020) point out the dangers of contextual bias in visual recognition datasets. They propose two methods, CAM-based and feature-split, that better recognize an object or attribute in the absence of its typical context while maintaining competitive within-context accuracy. To verify their performance, we attempted to reproduce all 12 tables in the original paper, including those in the appendix. We also conducted additional experiments to better understand the proposed methods, including increasing the regularization in CAM-based and removing the weighted loss in feature-split. As the original code was not made available, we implemented the entire pipeline from scratch in PyTorch 1.7.0. Our implementation is based on the paper and email exchanges with the authors. We found that both proposed methods in the original paper help mitigate contextual bias, although for some methods, we could not completely replicate the quantitative results in the paper even after completing an extensive hyperparameter search. For example, on COCO-Stuff, DeepFashion, and UnRel, our feature-split model achieved an increase in accuracy on out-of-context images over the standard baseline, whereas on AwA, we saw a drop in performance. For the proposed CAM-based method, we were able to reproduce the original paper's results to within 0.5$\%$ mAP. Our implementation can be found at https://github.com/princetonvisualai/ContextualBias.

description: Phonatory changes during emotion-inducing game events


Phonatory changes during emotion-inducing game events: the effect of discrepancy from expectations and goal conduciveness.


This paper aims to describe how phonation changes during emotion-inducing stimuli. 34 Hungarian speakers (17 female, 17 male) were asked to compete in a simple computerised guessing game, using voice commands to proceed after faced with the result of their guess. We expected that acoustic measures taken on these voice commands differ based on two affective components: goal conduciveness (successful or unsuccessful result) and discrepancy from expectations (unexpected or expected result based on the uncertainty of the guess).


According to the results, only female subjects show phonatory variation as a result of varying emotional states: their fundamental frequency is higher at unexpected game events and their phonation is less breathy (lower H1-H2) at unexpected, unsuccessful events. Both of these changes can be caused by higher muscle tension in unexpected, unsuccessful situations and lower tension when experiencing goal conducive, expected events.

description: We generalise Dwork's theory of $p$-adic formal congruences from the univariate to a multi-variate setting. We apply our results to prove integrality assertions on the Taylor coefficients of (multi-variable) mirror maps. More precisely, with $\mathbf z=(z_1,z_2,...,z_d)$, we show that the Taylor coefficients of the multi-variable series $q(\mathbf z)=z_i\exp(G(\mathbf z)/F(\mathbf z))$ are integers, where $F(\mathbf z)$ and $G(\mathbf z)+\log(z_i) F(\mathbf z)$, $i=1,2,...,d$, are specific solutions of certain GKZ systems. This result implies the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of numerous families of multi-variable mirror maps of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in weighted projective spaces, as well as of many one-variable mirror maps in the "Tables of Calabi-Yau equations" [arXiv:math/0507430] of Almkvist, van Enckevort, van Straten and Zudilin. In particular, our results prove a conjecture of Batyrev and van Straten in [Comm. Math. Phys. 168 (1995), 493-533] on the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of canonical coordinates for a large family of such coordinates in several variables.

description: With the emergence of low-cost smart and connected IoT devices, the area of cyber-physical security is becoming increasingly important. Past research has demonstrated new threat vectors targeting the transition process between the cyber and physical domains, where the attacker exploits the sensing system as an attack surface for signal injection or extraction of private information. Recently, there have been attempts to characterize an abstracted model for signal injection, but they primarily focus on the path of signal processing. This paper aims to systematize the existing research on security and privacy problems arising from the interaction of cyber world and physical world, with the context of broad CPS applications. The primary goals of the systematization are to (1) reveal the attack patterns and extract a general attack model of existing work, (2) understand possible new attacks, and (3) motivate development of defenses against the emerging cyber-physical threats.

description: We present calculations of the frequency-dependent spin susceptibility tensor of a two-dimensional electron gas with competing Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction. It is shown that the interplay between both types of spin-orbit coupling gives rise to an anisotropic spectral behavior of the spin density response function which is significantly different from that of vanishing Rashba or Dresselhaus case. Strong resonances are developed in the spin susceptibility as a consequence of the angular anisotropy of the energy spin-splitting. This characteristic optical modulable response may be useful to experimentally probe spin accumulation and spin density currents in such systems.

Once yielding occurs, the centre of stiffness will begin to move away from its original position, as the torsional forces induced by the eccentricity cause uneven distribution of yielding among members. This movement of the centre of stiffness very often increases the eccentricity of the structure causing further damage. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the significance of this magnification of the initial eccentricity. A procedure for locating the centre of stiffness was developed and incorporated into a time-step dynamic analysis program code named DRAINTABS. Two models were chosen to describe the moment-rotation relationship of reinforced concrete members; the elasto-plastic model and the Takeda model. The former is a bilinear model whereas the latter takes into account the strength degradation of reinforced concrete members under cyclic loading. A number of reinforced concrete buildings were studied. It was found that the centre of stiffness did not always move towards the side of the structure which was more heavily loaded due to the torque induced by the eccenticity. Excursions in the other direction were possible when the translational motion was not in phase with the torsional motion at the instant of maximum excursion. Moreover, when the strength degrading characteristic of R/C members was modelled, the eccentricity of the structure increased gradually with increasing length of excitation. However, this increase was found to be small and therefore insignificant. The procedure for locating the centre of stiffness was also incorporated into another analysis program code named PITSA which utilizes the modified substitute structure method. The results obtained were compared to those obtained using DRAINTABS. Although PITSA has been proven to be a relatively inexpensive yet reliable alternative to a time step analysis, it failed to predict the maximum displacement of the centre of stiffness with any acceptable degree of accuracy.

description: Up to date planet ephemerides are becoming increasingly important as exoplanet science moves from detecting exoplanets to characterising their architectures and atmospheres in depth. In this work ephemerides are updated for 22 Kepler planets and 4 Kepler planet candidates, constituting all Kepler planets and candidates with sufficient signal to noise in the TESS 2min dataset. A purely photometric method is utilised here to allow ephemeris updates for planets even when they do not posses significant radial velocity data. The obtained ephemerides are of very high precision and at least seven years 'fresher' than archival ephemerides. In particular, significantly reduced period uncertainties for Kepler-411d, Kepler-538b and the candidates K00075.01/K00076.01 are reported. O-C diagrams were generated for all objects, with the most interesting ones discussed here. Updated TTV fits of five known multiplanet systems with significant TTVs were also attempted (Kepler-18, Kepler-25, Kepler-51, Kepler-89, and Kepler-396), however these suffered from the comparative scarcity and dimness of these systems in TESS. Despite these difficulties, TESS has once again shown itself to be an incredibly powerful follow-up instrument as well as a planet-finder in its own right. Extension of the methods used in this paper to the 30min-cadence TESS data and TESS extended mission has the potential to yield updated ephemerides of hundreds more systems in the future.

description: The nature of the companion stars in Type Ia Supernova (SNe) progenitor systems remains unclear. One possible way to discriminate between different scenarios is the presence (or absence) of circumstellar material, the left overs from the progenitor evolution that may be revealed by their interaction with the SN. A new method to probe the circumstellar environment has been exploited for the normal Type Ia SN 2006X, leading for the first time to the direct detection of material which escaped the progenitor system. In this paper we apply the same analysis to the peculiar Type Ia SN 2000cx, with the aim of constraining the properties of its progenitor system. Using multi-epoch, high-resolution spectroscopy we have studied the spectral region where narrow, time-variable NaID absorption features are expected in case circumstellar material is present along the line of sight. No NaID absorption is detected in the rest-frame of the host galaxy to a level of a few mA, setting a stringent upper limit to the column density of the absorbing material (N(NaI)<=2 x 10^10 cm-2). In this respect the peculiar Type Ia SN 2000cx is different from the normal Ia SN 2006X. Whether this is to be attributed to a different progenitor system, to viewing-angle effects or to a low metallicity remains to be clarified.

description: Ergodic properties of rational maps are studied, generalising the work of F.\ Ledrappier. A new construction allows for simpler proofs of stronger results. Very general conformal measures are considered. Equivalent conditions are given for an ergodic invariant probability measure with positive Lyapunov exponent to be absolutely continuous with respect to a general conformal measure. If they hold, we can construct an induced expanding Markov map with integrable return time which generates the invariant measure.

description: This volume covers Leg 47, Part 1 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. Glomar Challenger departed from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, on 20 March 1976, drilled two holes at Site 397, and arrived at Vigo, Spain, on 12 April 1976. The major objective of Leg 47A was to decipher the complex Cretaceous and Tertiary history of a flexure passive continental margin, for which the West Saharan segment between the Requibat Uplift (Cape Blanc) and the Canary Islands (Cape Juby) is a good example. The subsiding edge of this margin has experienced major episodes of erosion, non-deposition, and redeposition, especially during two major regressions (mid-Cretaceous and mid-Tertiary). The thick wedge of uppermost continental rise sediments off northwest Africa had never before been penetrated beyond the Neogene (DSDP Site 139). DSDP Site 369, on the continental slope nearby, served as an ideal companion site of our proposed drilling program for rise-slope comparisons. The planned site was expected to allow a better reconstruction of the history of uplift and subsidence, transgressions and regressions, mechanics of deposition, and erosion during the Early Cretaceous to Neogene.
A proposed information system for concrete construction : a project and activity planning specification
Creators: name: Turnham, James Richard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Current usage of construction information systems is largely confined to Critical Path Method scheduling, accounting systems, and cost control database systems. The function of activity planning is not directly addressed by any of these systems while information from all three systems is required for activity planning. Activity planning is the iterative process of selecting construction elements from the project work breakdown structure, addressing the available details from the plans and specifications, assembling existing experiential information on methods, productivities, and production rates, brainstorming for new and or appropriate existing methods, and deciding on a course of action for each item in the breakdown structure. The focus is on a construction activity planning framework to be utilized by superintendent level personnel. This thesis examines the literature and existing software to identify the technologies that are relevant to detailed activity planning. The concept of utilizing "Planning Models" to address activity planning for repetitious concrete construction is introduced. The "General Activity Planning Model" provides the functions and instructions required for detailed project and activity planning of a generic concrete construction project. "Specific Planning Models" ensue from the general model and two examples are provided to illustrate the process. The first example is of a post-tensioned concrete bridge project. The second is of a cut and cover subway tunnel project. From the two examples, the key planning system attributes of function and flexibility are demonstrated. The functions required include: 1. Project level work breakdown structure and initialization. 2. A two pass system for estimating and planning. 3. Early calculation of target activity durations from milestone constraints. 4. Activity level, continuous crew scheduling, where appropriate, prior to detail design of methods. 5. Operation level input: major resource (formwork quantity) requirements, decision variables, crew size variation to implement duration control, and equipment levelling. The flexibility of the General Planning Model is illustrated by the successful planning of two dissimilar prototype projects from one general model. Specific issues pertaining to each project are structured and solved by example. Computer system issues are discussed. A database system is identified as the software of choice for the construction planning problem. Several commercially available programs are evaluated. Integration of activity planning with other construction specialities is identified in flow chart form.

description: The European Parliament backed on the 26th of March the Commission’s proposal to end the time arrangements while each Member State may still decide on the time zone in national effect. The previous part of the series refers to the online public consultation about EU wide time arrangements. In this last part of the series, 4 key issues regarding e-democracy will be discussed that are independent from whether we continue switching our clocks or not. All of them refer to the outcome of the vote and ask whether the result is representative, whether the voters can and/or must understand the voting procedure, what kind of force this result exerts and last -but not least- how secure this may be.

description: We derive analytic solutions for the full time dependence of space-fractional Fokker-Planck equations corresponding to stochastic Langevin equations with additive tempered-stable Lévy noise terms. The drift terms are generalised to be spatially linear, but may contain arbitrary time dependence such that no steady-state solution is available, even for the deterministic system.

Spectral analysis

description: In modern complex systems and machines - e.g., automobiles or construction vehicles - different versions of a "Condition Based Service" (CBS) are deployed for maintenance and supervision. According to the current state of the art, CBS is focusing on monitoring of static factors and rules. In the area of agricultural machines, these are for example operating hours, kilometers driven or the number of engine starts. The decision to substitute hydraulic oil is determined on the basis of the factors listed. A data-driven procedure is proposed instead to leverage the decision-making process. Thus, this paper presents a method to support continuous oil monitoring with the emphasis on artificial intelligence using real-world spectral oil-data. The reconstruction of the spectral data is essential, as a complete spectral analysis for the ultraviolet and visible range is not available. Instead, a possibility of reconstruction by sparse supporting wavelengths through neural networks is proposed and benchmarked by standard interpolation methods. Furthermore, a classification via a feed-forward neural network with the conjunction of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm for the production of labeled data was developed. Conclusively, the extent to which changes in hyper-parameters (number of hidden layers, number of neurons, weight initialization) affect the accuracy of the classification results have been investigated.
