Abstract To address the limitations of existing abnormal traffic detection methods, such as insufficient temporal and spatial feature extraction, high false positive rate (FPR), poor generalization, and class imbalance, this study proposed an intelligent detection method that combines a Stacked Convolutional Network (SCN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network, and Equalization Loss v2 (EQL v2). This method was divided into two components: a feature extraction model and a classification and detection model. First, SCN was constructed by combining a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a Depthwise Separable Convolution (DSC) network to capture the abstract spatial features More >

Abstract Coal dust explosions are severe safety accidents in coal mine production, posing significant threats to life and property. Predicting the maximum explosion pressure () of coal dust using deep learning models can effectively assess potential risks and provide a scientific basis for preventing coal dust explosions. In this study, a 20-L explosion sphere apparatus was used to test the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust under seven different particle sizes and ten mass concentrations (), resulting in a dataset of 70 experimental groups. Through Spearman correlation analysis and random forest feature selection methods, particle size… More >

Abstract Global climate change, along with the rapid increase of the population, has put significant pressure on water security. A water reservoir is an effective solution for adjusting and ensuring water supply. In particular, the reservoir water level is an essential physical indicator for the reservoirs. Forecasting the reservoir water level effectively assists the managers in making decisions and plans related to reservoir management policies. In recent years, deep learning models have been widely applied to solve forecasting problems. In this study, we propose a novel hybrid deep learning model namely the YOLOv9_ConvLSTM that integrates YOLOv9,… More >

Abstract High-speed train engine rolling bearings play a crucial role in maintaining engine health and minimizing operational losses during train operation. To solve the problems of low accuracy of the diagnostic model and unstable model due to the influence of noise during fault detection, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis model based on cross-attention fusion of WDCNN and BILSTM is proposed. The first layer of the wide convolutional kernel deep convolutional neural network (WDCNN) is used to extract the local features of the signal and suppress the high-frequency noise. A Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BILSTM) is… More >

Abstract Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) detection of minority class attacks is always a difficult task when dealing with attacks in complex network environments. To improve the detection capability of minority-class attacks, this study proposes an intrusion detection method based on a two-layer structure. The first layer employs a CNN-BiLSTM model incorporating an attention mechanism to classify network traffic into normal traffic, majority class attacks, and merged minority class attacks. The second layer further segments the minority class attacks through Stacking ensemble learning. The datasets are selected from the generic network dataset CIC-IDS2017, NSL-KDD, and the… More >

Abstract This article explores the optimization of heat transport in a magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow with mixed Marangoni convection by using the Response Surface Methodology. The convective flow is studied with external magnetism, radiative heat flux, and buoyancy. An internal heat absorption through the permeable surface is also taken into account. The governing system includes the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes momentum equation, and the conservation of energy equations, approximated by the Prandtl boundary layer theory. The entropy generation in the thermodynamic system is evaluated. Experimental data (Corcione models) is used to model the single-phase alumina-water nanofluid. The numerical… More >

Abstract Short-term photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting plays a crucial role in enhancing the stability and reliability of power grid scheduling. To address the challenges posed by complex environmental variables and difficulties in modeling temporal features in PV power prediction, a short-term PV power forecasting method based on an improved CNN-LSTM and cascade learning strategy is proposed. First, Pearson correlation coefficients and mutual information are used to select representative features, reducing the impact of redundant features on model performance. Then, the CNN-LSTM network is designed to extract local features using CNN and learn temporal dependencies through LSTM,… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The current work includes a numerical investigation of the effect of biodiesel blends with different aluminum oxide nanoparticle concentrations on the combustion process in the cylinder of a diesel engine. IC Engine Fluent, a specialist computational tool in the ANSYS software, was used to simulate internal combustion engine dynamics and combustion processes. Numerical analysis was carried out using biodiesel blends with three Al₂O₃ nanoparticles in 50, 100, and 150 ppm concentrations. The tested samples are called D100, B20, B20A50, B20A100, and B20A150 accordingly. The modeling runs were carried out at various engine loads of 0, 100,… More >
