Abstract Electric vehicles such as trains must match their electric power supply and demand, such as by using a composite energy storage system composed of lithium batteries and supercapacitors. In this paper, a predictive control strategy based on a Markov model is proposed for a composite energy storage system in an urban rail train. The model predicts the state of the train and a dynamic programming algorithm is employed to solve the optimization problem in a forecast time domain. Real-time online control of power allocation in the composite energy storage system can be achieved. Using standard More >

Abstract Phosphoaspartate is one of the major components of eukaryotes and prokaryotic two-component signaling pathways, and it communicates the signal from the sensor of histidine kinase, through the response regulator, to the DNA alongside transcription features and initiates the transcription of correct response genes. Thus, the prediction of phosphoaspartate sites is critical, and its experimental identification can be expensive, time-consuming, and tedious. For this purpose, we propose iPhosD-PseAAC, a new computational model for predicting phosphoaspartate sites in a particular protein sequence using Chou’s 5-steps rues: (1) Benchmark dataset. (2) The feature extraction techniques such as pseudo More >

Abstract In this study, optimal regression learner methods were used to predict the corrosion behavior of aluminum–silicon alloys (Al–Si) with various Si ratios in different media. Al–Si alloys with 0, 1%, 8%, 11.2%, and 15% Si were tested in different media with different pH values at different stirring speeds (0, 300, 600, 750, 900, 1050, and 1200 rpm). Corrosion behavior was evaluated via electrochemical potentiodynamic test. The corrosion rates (CRs) obtained from the corrosion tests were utilized in the formation of datasets of various machine regression learner optimization (MRLO) methods, namely, decision tree, support vector machine,… More >

Abstract Software Defect Prediction (SDP) is a dynamic research field in the software industry. A quality software product results in customer satisfaction. However, the higher the number of user requirements, the more complex will be the software, with a correspondingly higher probability of failure. SDP is a challenging task requiring smart algorithms that can estimate the quality of a software component before it is handed over to the end-user. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach to address this particular issue. Our approach combines the feature selection capability of the Optimized Artificial Immune Networks (Opt-aiNet) More >

Abstract Aeroengine surge fault is one of the main causes of flight accidents. When a surge occurs, it is hard to detect it in time and take anti-surge measures correctly. Recently, people have been applying detection methods based on mathematical models and expert knowledge. Due to difficult modeling and limited failure-mode coverage of these methods, early surge detection cannot be achieved. To address these problems, firstly, this paper introduced the data of six main sensors related to the aeroengine surge fault, such as, total pressure at compressor (high pressure rotor) outlet (Pt3), high pressure compressor rotor More >

Abstract ICU patients are vulnerable to medications, especially infusion medications, and the rate and dosage of infusion drugs may worsen the condition. The mortality prediction model can monitor the real-time response of patients to drug treatment, evaluate doctors’ treatment plans to avoid severe situations such as inverse Drug-Drug Interactions (DDI), and facilitate the timely intervention and adjustment of doctor’s treatment plan. The treatment process of patients usually has a time-sequence relation (which usually has the missing data problem) in patients’ treatment history. The state-of-the-art method to model such time-sequence is to use Recurrent Neural Network (RNN).… More >

Abstract As an ideal material, bulk metallic glass (MG) has a wide range of applications because of its unique properties such as structural, functional and biomedical materials. However, it is difficult to predict the glass-forming ability (GFA) even given the criteria in theory and this problem greatly limits the application of bulk MG in industrial field. In this work, the proposed model uses the random forest classification method which is one of machine learning methods to solve the GFA prediction for binary metallic alloys. Compared with the previous SVM algorithm models of all features combinations, this More >

Abstract Bamboo is a renewable natural building material with good mechanical properties. However, due to the heterogeneity and anisotropy of bamboo stalk, a large amount of material performance testing costs are required in engineering applications. In this work, longitudinal compression, bending, longitudinal shear, longitudinal tensile, transverse compression and transverse tensile tests of bamboo materials are conducted, considering the influence of the bamboo nodes. The mechanical properties of the whole bamboo stalk with the wall thickness and outer circumference are explored. Through univariate and multiple regression analysis, the relationship between mechanical properties and wall thickness and perimeter More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract With the convergence and development of the Internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence, closed-circuit television, wearable devices, and artificial neural networks have been combined and applied to crime prevention and follow-up measures against crimes. However, these IoT devices have various limitations based on the physical environment and face the fundamental problem of privacy violations. In this study, voice data are collected and emotions are classified based on an acoustic sensor that is free of privacy violations and is not sensitive to changes in external environments, to overcome these limitations. For the classification of emotions… More >

Abstract Software defect prediction (SDP) is the process of detecting defect-prone software modules before the testing stage. The testing stage in the software development life cycle is expensive and consumes the most resources of all the stages. SDP can minimize the cost of the testing stage, which can ultimately lead to the development of higher-quality software at a lower cost. With this approach, only those modules classified as defective are tested. Over the past two decades, many researchers have proposed methods and frameworks to improve the performance of the SDP process. The main research topics are More >
