The Performance Analysis of PSO-ResNet for the Fault Diagnosis of Vibration Signals Based on the Pipeline Robot

In the context of pipeline robots, the timely detection of faults is crucial in preventing safety incidents. In order to ensure the reliability and safety of the entire application process, robots’ fault diagnosis techniques play a vital role. However, traditional diagnostic methods for motor drive end-bearing faults in pipeline robots are often ineffective when the operating conditions are variable. An efficient solution for fault diagnosis is the application of deep learning algorithms. This paper proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method (PSO-ResNet) that combines a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) with a residual network. A number of vibration signal sensors are placed at different locations in the pipeline robot to obtain vibration signals from different parts. The input to the PSO-ResNet algorithm is a two-bit image obtained by continuous wavelet transform of the vibration signal. The accuracy of this fault diagnosis method is compared with different types of fault diagnosis algorithms, and the experimental analysis shows that PSO-ResNet has higher accuracy. The algorithm was also deployed on an Nvidia Jetson Nano and a Raspberry Pi 4B. Through comparative experimental analysis, the proposed fault diagnosis algorithm was chosen to be deployed on the Nvidia Jetson Nano and used as the core fault diagnosis control unit of the pipeline robot for practical scenarios. However, the PSO-ResNet model needs further improvement in terms of accuracy, which is the focus of future research work

Investigation on the Synthesis and Photocatalytic Property of Uranyl Complexes of the β-Diketonates Biscatecholamide Ligand

A series of uranyl complexes have been synthesized by reacting hexadentate ligands CH2[COO (CH2)nCAM; n=2, 3, 4]2 [CAM = 2,3-Ph(OH)2CONH] containing the catecholamide (CAM) group and β-diketonates framework with uranyl nitrate. They were characterized by FTIR, UV-vis, 1H NMR, XPS, TGA, and elemental analysis. The analysis revealed that oxygen atom of β-diketonate did not bind to uranyl ion in complexes 1–3. The photocatalytic degradation properties of the target complexes for degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) were investigated. The result indicated that approximately 74%, 71%, and 67% RhB were degraded in the presence of complexes 1–3 after about 210 min, respectively. Consequently, complexes 1–3 have excellent photocatalytic degradation property

Interference Mitigation for Non-Overlapping Sub-Band Full Duplex for 5G-Advanced Wireless Networks

With new services emerging in fifth generation (5G)-advanced, the evolution in duplex modes plays an important role to meet more stringent requirements for both downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) transmissions. In this paper, sub-band full duplex (SBFD) at base station (BS) is studied as an attainable evolution of the traditional time division duplex (TDD). Both user equipment (UE) transparent SBFD and UE perceptive SBFD are proposed and studied to serve different types of UEs. To tackle the interference introduced by SBFD, a model including both BS self-interference and cross-link interference (CLI) is presented as a first step, and new interference management schemes are proposed. Three approaches to mitigate BS self-interference, namely the passive suppression, analog interference cancellation and digital interference cancellation are analyzed. A new framework for CLI management is illustrated along with enhancements for interference identification, spatial domain interference coordination and power domain adjustment. To validate the feasibility and performance of the proposed SBFD methods under indoor and dense urban scenarios, system-level simulations (SLSs) are carried out and a proof-of-concept (PoC) is developed for the purpose of obtaining experimental results

Efficacy and confounding factors of CT attenuation value differences in distinguishing acute and old vertebral compression fractures: a retrospective study

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the influence of various factors on CT attenuation values (HUs) of acute and old fracture vertebra, and to determine the efficacy of HU differences (△HUs) in the differentiation of the two type of fractures. Materials and Methods A total of 113 acute and 71 old fracture vertebrae confirmed by MRI were included. Four HUs measured at the mid-sagittal, upper 1/3 axial, mid-axial, and lower 1/3 axial planes of each vertebra were obtained. The △HUs between fracture vertebra and its control counterpart was calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used and the areas under the ROC curve (AUC) were calculated to evaluate the efficacy of HUs and △HUs. To evaluate the effect of height reduction, region, age and gender on HUs and △HUs, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and t-test were used. Results The HUs and △HUs at the upper 1/3 axial plane achieved the highest AUCs of 0.801 and 0.839, respectively. The HUs decreased gradually from Thoracic to Lumbar in control group of acute fracture. While no significant differences were found in the HUs among the 3 localizations in both fracture groups (all P > 0.05). The HUs were negatively correlated with age in all groups. The HUs of male were significantly higher than female patients in all groups (all P  0.05). Conclusion The vertebral HUs at the upper 1/3 axial plane are more likely to identify acute fractures. △HUs were beneficial in eliminating interfering factors

Elevated LILRB1 expression predicts poor prognosis and is associated with tumor immune infiltration in patients with glioma

Abstract Background Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B1 (LILRB1) is regarded as an inhibitory molecule. However, the importance of LILRB1 expression in glioma has not yet been determined. This investigation examined the immunological signature, clinicopathological importance and prognostic value of LILRB1 expression in glioma. Methods We used data from the UCSC XENA database, the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database, the STRING database, the MEXPRESS database and our clinical glioma samples to perform bioinformatic analysis and used vitro experiments to examine the predictive value and potential biological roles of LILRB1 in glioma. Results Higher LILRB1 expression was considerably present in the higher WHO grade glioma group and was linked to a poorer prognosis in patients with glioma. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed that LILRB1 was positively correlated with the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. LILRB1 combined with tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) may be a promising indicator for the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with glioma. Increased LILRB1 expression was positively linked with the hypomethylation, M2 macrophage infiltration, immune checkpoints (ICPs) and M2 macrophage makers. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses determined that increased LILRB1 expression was a standalone causal factor for glioma. Vitro experiments determined that LILRB1 positively enhanced the proliferation, migration and invasion in glioma cells. MRI images demonstrated that higher LILRB1 expression was related with larger tumor volume in patients with glioma. Conclusion Dysregulation of LILRB1 in glioma is correlated with immune infiltration and is a standalone causal factor for glioma
