© 2020 The Author(s). This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. For more information, see https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/.Bearing vibration signals contain non-linear and non-stationary features due to instantaneous variations in the operation of rotating machinery. It is important to characterize and analyze the complexity change of the bearing vibration signals so that bearing health conditions can be accurately identified. Entropy measures are non-linear indicators that are applicable to the time series complexity analysis for machine fault diagnosis. In this paper, an improved entropy measure, termed Adaptive Multiscale Weighted Permutation Entropy (AMWPE), is proposed. Then, a new rolling bearing fault diagnosis method is developed based on the AMWPE and multi-class SVM. For comparison, experimental bearing data are analyzed using the AMWPE, compared with the conventional entropy measures, where a multi-class SVM is adopted for fault type classification. Moreover, the robustness of different entropy measures is further studied for the analysis of noisy signals with various Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs). The experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method in fault diagnosis of rolling bearing under different fault types, severity degrees, and SNR levels.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

Fine-to-coarse multiscale permutation entropy for rolling bearing fault diagnosis

Multiscale Permutation Entropy (MPE) has been applied as a non-linear measure for estimating the complexity of time series. Nevertheless, the coarse-grained procedure in MPE only takes low-frequency information into account. To overcome this shortcoming, in this paper, a new entropy measure, named Fine-to-Coarse Multiscale Permutation Entropy (F2CMPE), is proposed to provide stable and reliable results by offering both low-frequency and high-frequency information. Firstly, the F2C signals are created based on the reconstruction of selected wavelet coefficients using wavelet packet decomposition. Then, permutation entropy is used to estimate the complexity and dynamic change of the F2C signals. Experimental analysis is carried out to investigate and compare the performance of the proposed F2CMPE with that of the MPE. Results indicate that the proposed method can give consistent and stable entropy measure for rolling bearing fault diagnosis

A comparative study of WPD and EMD for shaft fault diagnosis

Fault diagnosis of incipient crack failure in rotating shafts allows the detection and identification of performance degradation as early as possible in industrial plants, such as downtime and potential injury to personnel. The present work studies the performance and effectiveness of crack fault detection by means of applying wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) on fault diagnosis of rotating shafts using multiscale entropy (MSE). After WPD and EMD, the most sensitive reconstruction vectors and intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are selected using Shannon entropy. Then, these feature vectors are fed into support vector machine (SVM) for fault classification, where the entropy features represent the complexity of vibration signals with different scales. Experimental results have demonstrated that WPD combined with MSE can achieve an accuracy of 97.3% for crack fault detection in rotating shafts, whilst EMD combined with MSE has shown a higher detection rate of 98.5%

The Practice and Innovation of Energizing the Competitiveness of Brand of County by the IP of Culture and Tourism at Zigui

The integration of culture and tourism makes the interaction between culture and tourism deeper and closer. After years of vigorous development, the tourism of county is no longer like before building infrastructure in the entire scenic area, and the economy of county no longer relies on hardware construction and a large investment. And now a new focus is needed to promote the economy and brand competitiveness of the county. Combining the IP (intellectual property) construction method in the Internet era with regional brands with local cultural characteristics, an innovative form of IP for county cultural and tourism brands at present is created, the Zigui County of Yichang City is the practical example of the innovative form. Combine with the unique culture of Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival, and navel orange specialty of Zigui, the IPs of brand of the county that are called “one da three xiao”, which are Qudafu, Chengxiaozi, Zongxiaogui, and Zhouxiaolong, were created. The IPs are deeply loved by tourists, and quickly stand out in the competition of tourism spread in the surrounding counties and cities. By energizing the competitiveness of brand of the county through IP, the new appearance of county brand of the Zigui, which effectively attracts traffic and drives the economic promotion of Zigui County, is displayed with affinity, sustainability and influence

A New Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method based on Fine-to-Coarse Multiscale Permutation Entropy, Laplacian Score and SVM

Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is vital to identify incipient failures and avoid unexpected downtime in industrial systems. This paper proposes a new rolling bearing fault diagnosis method by integrating the Fine-to-Coarse Multiscale Permutation Entropy (F2CMPE), Laplacian Score (LS) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). A novel entropy measure, named F2CMPE, was proposed by calculating permutation entropy via multiple-scale fine-grained and coarse-grained signals based on wavelet packet decomposition. The entropy measure estimates the dynamic changes of time series from both low- and high-frequency components. Moreover, the F2CMPE mitigates the drawback of producing time series with sharply reduced data length via the coarse-grained procedure in the conventional Composite Multiscale Permutation Entropy (CMPE). The comparative performance of the F2CMPE and CMPE is investigated by analyzing synthetic and experimental signals for entropy-based feature extraction. In the proposed bearing fault diagnosis method, the F2CMPE is first used to extract entropy-based features from bearing vibration signals. Then, LS and SVM are used for selection of features and fault classification respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified for rolling bearing fault diagnosis using experimental vibration data sets, and the results have demonstrated the capability of the proposed method to recognize and identify bearing fault patterns under different fault states and severity levels

Self-adaptive fault diagnosis of roller bearings using infrared thermal images

Fault diagnosis of roller bearings in rotating machinery is of great significance to identify latent abnormalities and failures in industrial plants. This paper presents a new self-adaptive fault diagnosis system for different conditions of roller bearings using InfraRed Thermography (IRT). In the first stage of the proposed system, 2-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform (2D-DWT) and Shannon entropy are applied respectively to decompose images and seek for the desired decomposition level of the approximation coefficients. After that, the histograms of selected coefficients are used as an input of the feature space selection method by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Nearest Neighbor (NN), for the purpose of selecting two salient features that can achieve the highest classification accuracy. The results have demonstrated that the proposed scheme can be employed effectively as an intelligent system for bearing fault diagnosis in rotating machinery

A Multimodal Ecological Civilization Pattern Recommendation Method Based on Large Language Models and Knowledge Graph

The Ecological Civilization Pattern Recommendation System (ECPRS) aims to recommend suitable ecological civilization patterns for target regions, promoting sustainable development and reducing regional disparities. However, the current representative recommendation methods are not suitable for recommending ecological civilization patterns in a geographical context. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, regions have spatial heterogeneity, and the (ECPRS)needs to consider factors like climate, topography, vegetation, etc., to recommend civilization patterns adapted to specific ecological environments, ensuring the feasibility and practicality of the recommendations. Secondly, the abstract features of the ecological civilization patterns in the real world have not been fully utilized., resulting in poor richness in their embedding representations and consequently, lower performance of the recommendation system. Considering these limitations, we propose the ECPR-MML method. Initially, based on the novel method UGPIG, we construct a knowledge graph to extract regional representations incorporating spatial heterogeneity features. Following that, inspired by the significant progress made by Large Language Models (LLMs) in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), we employ Large LLMs to generate multimodal features for ecological civilization patterns in the form of text and images. We extract and integrate these multimodal features to obtain semantically rich representations of ecological civilization. Through extensive experiments, we validate the performance of our ECPR-MML model. Our results show that F1@5 is 2.11% higher compared to state-of-the-art models, 2.02% higher than NGCF, and 1.16% higher than UGPIG. Furthermore, multimodal data can indeed enhance recommendation performance. However, the data generated by LLM is not as effective as real data to a certain extent

A novel representation of RNA secondary structure based on element-contact graphs

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Depending on their specific structures, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play important roles in many biological processes. Interest in developing new topological indices based on RNA graphs has been revived in recent years, as such indices can be used to compare, identify and classify RNAs. Although the topological indices presented before characterize the main topological features of RNA secondary structures, information on RNA structural details is ignored to some degree. Therefore, it is necessity to identify topological features with low degeneracy based on complete and fine-grained RNA graphical representations.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In this study, we present a complete and fine scheme for RNA graph representation as a new basis for constructing RNA topological indices. We propose a combination of three vertex-weighted element-contact graphs (ECGs) to describe the RNA element details and their adjacent patterns in RNA secondary structure. Both the stem and loop topologies are encoded completely in the ECGs. The relationship among the three typical topological index families defined by their ECGs and RNA secondary structures was investigated from a dataset of 6,305 ncRNAs. The applicability of topological indices is illustrated by three application case studies. Based on the applied small dataset, we find that the topological indices can distinguish true pre-miRNAs from pseudo pre-miRNAs with about 96% accuracy, and can cluster known types of ncRNAs with about 98% accuracy, respectively.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The results indicate that the topological indices can characterize the details of RNA structures and may have a potential role in identifying and classifying ncRNAs. Moreover, these indices may lead to a new approach for discovering novel ncRNAs. However, further research is needed to fully resolve the challenging problem of predicting and classifying noncoding RNAs.</p
