Aero-engine rotor-static rubbing characteristic analysis based on casing acceleration signal
The rotor experiment rig of aero-engine was used to simulate rubbing faults in different rotational speeds, rubbing intensities, rubbing positions and casing thickness. The casing acceleration signal was collected and subjected to the analysis by auto-correlation function frequency spectrum. The result indicates that the auto-correlation function frequency spectrum shows significant characteristic frequency in rubbing frequency (product between blade number and rotating frequency) and its integer multiple. The location of each characteristic frequency is characterized by band-frequency characteristic with rotating frequency as interval. The characteristic is not affected by sensor installed position, rotational speed, rubbing position and casing thickness
Reformulating Sequential Recommendation: Learning Dynamic User Interest with Content-enriched Language Modeling
Recommender systems are essential for online applications, and sequential
recommendation has enjoyed significant prevalence due to its expressive ability
to capture dynamic user interests. However, previous sequential modeling
methods still have limitations in capturing contextual information. The primary
reason for this issue is that language models often lack an understanding of
domain-specific knowledge and item-related textual content. To address this
issue, we adopt a new sequential recommendation paradigm and propose LANCER,
which leverages the semantic understanding capabilities of pre-trained language
models to generate personalized recommendations. Our approach bridges the gap
between language models and recommender systems, resulting in more human-like
recommendations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through
experiments on several benchmark datasets, showing promising results and
providing valuable insights into the influence of our model on sequential
recommendation tasks. Furthermore, our experimental codes are publicly
available
Nested Named Entity Recognition from Medical Texts: An Adaptive Shared Network Architecture with Attentive CRF
Recognizing useful named entities plays a vital role in medical information
processing, which helps drive the development of medical area research. Deep
learning methods have achieved good results in medical named entity recognition
(NER). However, we find that existing methods face great challenges when
dealing with the nested named entities. In this work, we propose a novel
method, referred to as ASAC, to solve the dilemma caused by the nested
phenomenon, in which the core idea is to model the dependency between different
categories of entity recognition. The proposed method contains two key modules:
the adaptive shared (AS) part and the attentive conditional random field (ACRF)
module. The former part automatically assigns adaptive weights across each task
to achieve optimal recognition accuracy in the multi-layer network. The latter
module employs the attention operation to model the dependency between
different entities. In this way, our model could learn better entity
representations by capturing the implicit distinctions and relationships
between different categories of entities. Extensive experiments on public
datasets verify the effectiveness of our method. Besides, we also perform
ablation analyses to deeply understand our methods
Condition trend prediction of aero-generator based on particle swarm optimization and fuzzy integral
In order to improve and enhance the prediction accuracy and efficiency of aero-generator running trend, grasp its running condition, and avoid accidents happening, in this paper, auto-regressive and moving average model (ARMA) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) which are used to predict its running trend have been optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on using features found in real aero-generator life test, which lasts a long period of time on specialized test platform and collects mass data that reflects aero-generator characteristics, to build new models of PSO-ARMA and PSO-LSSVM. And we use fuzzy integral methodology to carry out decision fusion of the predicted results of these two new models. The research shows that the prediction accuracy of PSO-ARMA and PSO-LSSVM has been much improved on that of ARMA and LSSVM, and the results of decision fusion based on fuzzy integral methodology show further substantial improvement in accuracy than each particle swarm optimized model. Conclusion can be drawn that the optimized model and the decision fusion method presented in this paper are available in aero-generator condition trend prediction and have great value of engineering application
Testing model transformation programs using metamorphic testing
Model transformations are crucial for the success of Model Driven Engineering. Testing is a prevailing technique of verifying the correctness of model transformation programs. A major challenge in model transformation testing is the oracle problem, which refers to the difficulty or high cost in determining the correctness of the output models. Metamorphic Testing alleviates the oracle problem by making use of the relationships among the inputs and outputs of multiple executions of the target function. This paper investigates the effectiveness and feasibility of metamorphic testing in testing model transformation programs. Empirical results show that metamorphic testing is an effective testing method for model transformation programs
Cytotoxicity of hydroxydihydrobovolide and its pharmacokinetic studies in Portulaca oleracea L. extract
Hydroxydihydrobovolide (HDB) was for the first time isolated from Portulaca oleracea L. and then its cytotoxicity against SH-SYTY cells was studied. Moreover, a rapid and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with bergapten as internal standard (IS) was developed and validated to investigate the pharmacokinetics of HDB in rats after intravenous and oral administrations of extract (POE). The UHPLC analysis was performed on a Diamonsil C18 analytical column, using acetonitrile-water (35:65, v/v) as the mobile phase with UV detection at 220 nm. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.2-25 µg/mL in rat plasma. The average extraction recovery was from 90.1 to 98.9%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 4.7 and 4.1%, respectively. The results showed that 50 µM HDB had significant cytotoxicity on the SH-SY5Y cells, which was rapidly distributed with a Tmax of 11 min after oral administration and presented a low absolute bioavailability, 4.12%
Perspective of key healthcare professionals on antimicrobial resistance and stewardship programs: A multicenter cross-sectional study from Pakistan
Copyright © 2020 Hayat, Rosenthal, Gillani, Chang, Ji, Yang, Jiang, Zhao and Fang. Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing global threat, and hospital-based antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) are one of the effective approaches to tackle AMR globally. This study was intended to determine the attitude of key healthcare professionals (HCPs), including physicians, nurses, and hospital pharmacists, towards AMR and hospital ASPs. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to collect data from HCPs employed in public teaching hospitals of Punjab, Pakistan, from January 2019 to March 2019. A cluster-stratified sampling method was applied. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for analysis. Results: A response rate of 81.3% (881/1083) for the surveys was obtained. The majority of the physicians (247/410, 60.2%) perceived AMR to be a serious problem in Pakistani hospitals (p \u3c 0.001). Most of the HCPs considered improving antimicrobial prescribing (580/881, 65.8%; p \u3c 0.001) accompanied by the introduction of prospective audit with feedback (301/881, 75.8%; p \u3c 0.001), formulary restriction (227/881, 57.2%; p = 0.004) and regular educational activities (300/881, 75.6%; p = 0.015) as effective ASP methods to implement hospital ASPs in Pakistan. A significant association was found between median AMR and ASP scores with age, years of experience, and types of HCPs (p \u3c 0.05). Conclusions: The attitude of most of the HCPs was observed to be positive towards hospital-based ASPs regardless of their poor awareness about ASPs. The important strategies, including prospective audit with feedback and regular educational sessions proposed by HCPs, will support the initiation and development of local ASPs for Pakistani hospitals
