Project description:The overhead-cable hybrid transmission lines are alternately connected by two types of lines, with a more complex structure and higher difficulty in fault location. This paper presents an ac-curate fault location method for overhead-cable hybrid lines based on traveling wave energy. Firstly, the basic concept of traveling wave energy is defined. Based on the attenuation charac-teristics of the traveling wave, the mapping relationship between traveling wave energy and fault location is analyzed. Secondly, considering the influence of S-transform error on the traveling wave energy propagation law, the traveling wave energy attenuation characteristics of common A-type and B-type hybrid lines are analyzed. Then, for the overhead-cable hybrid lines with different structures, the mapping relationship between the traveling wave energy at both ends of the line and the fault distance is quantitatively derived, and an accurate fault location method based on the initial traveling wave energy ratio at the same frequency at both ends of the line is proposed. Finally, a 110 kV hybrid transmission line fault simulation model is built in PSCAD/EMTDC, and the faults under different conditions are simulated in different line sections. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are verified through the simulation.

Project description:This repository offers smart-home wearable accelerometer and Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) data acquired : 1) with low-cost hardware; 2) with high-resolution location annotations; 3) from four UK homes. The data are intended to evaluate RSSI-based indoor localisation methods with activity measurements provided from a user-worn wearable device. A wrist worn accelerometer records activity signatures which are relayed to a number of receiving Access Points (AP) placed throughout the building. Upon reception of a packet, each AP measures the RSSI of the received radio signal and timestamps the accelerometer measurements. Location labels are recorded automatically using a small camera which registers fiducial floor tags as the participant carries out their normal routines in a natural way. Approximately 14 h of annotated wearable measurements are provided. A scripted fingerprint measurement is provided along with several unscripted natural living recordings, where the participant carried out a number of daily household activities which are annotated, where possible, throughout. Codes are provided to access the data and to replicate the ground-truthing procedure.

Project description:High-resolution animal location data are increasingly available, requiring analytical approaches and statistical tools that can accommodate the temporal structure and transient dynamics (non-stationarity) inherent in natural systems. Traditional analyses often assume uncorrelated or weakly correlated temporal structure in the velocity (net displacement) time series constructed using sequential location data. We propose that frequency and time-frequency domain methods, embodied by Fourier and wavelet transforms, can serve as useful probes in early investigations of animal movement data, stimulating new ecological insight and questions. We introduce a novel movement model with time-varying parameters to study these methods in an animal movement context. Simulation studies show that the spectral signature given by these methods provides a useful approach for statistically detecting and characterizing temporal dependency in animal movement data. In addition, our simulations provide a connection between the spectral signatures observed in empirical data with null hypotheses about expected animal activity. Our analyses also show that there is not a specific one-to-one relationship between the spectral signatures and behavior type and that departures from the anticipated signatures are also informative. Box plots of net displacement arranged by time of day and conditioned on common spectral properties can help interpret the spectral signatures of empirical data. The first case study is based on the movement trajectory of a lion (Panthera leo) that shows several characteristic daily activity sequences, including an active-rest cycle that is correlated with moonlight brightness. A second example based on six pairs of African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) illustrates the use of wavelet coherency to show that their movements synchronize when they are within approximately 1 km of each other, even when individual movement was best described as an uncorrelated random walk, providing an important spatial baseline of movement synchrony and suggesting that local behavioral cues play a strong role in driving movement patterns. We conclude with a discussion about the role these methods may have in guiding appropriately flexible probabilistic models connecting movement with biotic and abiotic covariates.

Project description:RNA samples from human tissues (brain and liver) and cell lines (K562 and HL60) were used to assess RNA fragmentation, RNA fractionation, cDNA synthesis, and single versus multiple tag counting. Technical replicates and different cDNA synthesis protocols were compared. Though protocols employing polyA RNA selection generate the highest number of non-ribosomal reads and the most precise measurements for coding transcripts, such protocols were found to detect only a fraction of the non-ribosomal RNA in human cells. PolyA RNA excludes thousands of annotated and even more unannotated transcripts, resulting in an incomplete view of the transcriptome. Ribosomal-depleted RNA provides a more cost-effective method for generating complete transcriptome coverage. Expression measurements using single tag counting provided advantages for assessing gene expression and for detecting short RNAs relative to multi-read protocols. Detection of short RNAs was also hampered by RNA fragmentation.

Project description:Geological heterogeneity is abundant in crustal fault zones; however, its role in controlling the mechanical behaviour of faults is poorly constrained. Here, we present laboratory friction experiments on laterally heterogeneous faults, with patches of strong, rate-weakening quartz gouge and weak, rate-strengthening clay gouge. The experiments show that the heterogeneity leads to a significant reduction in strength and frictional stability in comparison to compositionally identical faults with homogeneously mixed gouges. We identify a combination of weakening effects, including smearing of the weak clay; differential compaction of the two gouges redistributing normal stress; and shear localization producing stress concentrations in the strong quartz patches. The results demonstrate that geological heterogeneity and its evolution can have pronounced effects on fault strength and stability and, by extension, on the occurrence of slow-slip transients versus earthquake ruptures and the characteristics of the resulting events, and should be further studied in lab experiments and earthquake source modelling.

Project description:Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are powerful computational tools that are designed to replicate the human brain and adopted to solve a variety of problems in many different fields. Fault tolerance (FT), an important property of ANNs, ensures their reliability when significant portions of a network are lost. In this paper, a fault/noise injection-based (FIB) genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to construct fault-tolerant ANNs. The FT performance of an FIB-GA was compared with that of a common genetic algorithm, the back-propagation algorithm, and the modification of weights algorithm. The FIB-GA showed a slower fitting speed when solving the exclusive OR (XOR) problem and the overlapping classification problem, but it significantly reduced the errors in cases of single or multiple faults in ANN weights or nodes. Further analysis revealed that the fit weights showed no correlation with the fitting errors in the ANNs constructed with the FIB-GA, suggesting a relatively even distribution of the various fitting parameters. In contrast, the output weights in the training of ANNs implemented with the use the other three algorithms demonstrated a positive correlation with the errors. Our findings therefore indicate that a combination of the fault/noise injection-based method and a GA is capable of introducing FT to ANNs and imply that the distributed ANNs demonstrate superior FT performance.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the data of conductance and capacitance measurements of facial skin hydration and to evaluate and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches.MethodsWe measured skin capacitance (Corneometer® CM 825) and skin conductance (Skicon-200EX®) on 30 pre-defined facial sites of 125 Chinese women, resulting in 3750 readings per device. The data were analysed and compared, and continuous colour maps were generated on a 3D avatar for capacitance, conductance, relative difference (Δ%) and correlation (R-value) by interpolating between the individual readings and converting the values to colours. This visualization allows a better interpretation of the results.ResultsThe complexity of facial skin hydration is revealed by this approach. The similarities and discrepancies in the facial hydration maps are clearly apparent. Due to the superiority of the Skicon in measuring high hydration levels, differences in skin hydration were evident on the forehead compared with the Corneometer maps, which may be related to the more superficial measurement of the Skicon within the stratum corneum. Conversely, a greater understanding of the complexity of facial skin hydration in the nasolabial fold was obvious when using the Corneometer. The best congruence between the instruments was found at two specific but separated facial areas, one around the inner eye region and the other one on a line between the nasolabial sulcus and the oblique, lateral jaw. Interestingly, the data were not normally distributed for both instruments and they had opposite skews. All facial clusters were statistically different from each other (p < 0.001), except the cheek and jaw for the Skicon. Larger than expected percentage coefficients of variance were found for the Corneometer on some facial sites that might be explainable by differences in stratum corneum physiology and biochemistry. Corneometer values of 48 AU and Skicon values of 132 μS were taken as the cutoff for normally hydrated facial skin.ConclusionsBoth devices have their advantages and disadvantages suggesting that bio-instrumental measurement of skin hydration is actually more complicated than commonly thought and that the different facial zones and the use of multiple instrumentation have not been adequately considered.

Project description:ObjectiveMonitoring inequality in healthcare utilisation is essential to reduce persistent inequalities in health in lower-middle income countries. This study aimed to assess socioeconomic inequalities in the utilisation of primary care, secondary care and preventive care in Indonesia.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey with a total of 42 083 adult participants. Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by educational level and income. Healthcare utilisation was measured in: (1) primary care, (2) outpatient in secondary care, (3) inpatient care and (4) cardiovascular-related preventive care. The magnitude of inequalities was measured using the relative index of inequality (RII).ResultsSmall educational inequalities were found for primary care utilisation (RII 1.13, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.26). Larger educational inequalities were found for outpatient secondary care (RII 10.35, 95% CI 8.11 to 13.22) and inpatient care (RII 2.78, 95% CI 2.32 to 3.32). The largest educational inequalities were found for preventive care, particularly regarding blood glucose tests (RII 30.31, 95% CI 26.13 to 35.15) and electrocardiography tests (RII 30.90, 95% CI 24.97 to 38.23). Compared with educational inequalities, income inequalities were larger for primary care (RII 1.68, 95% CI 1.52 to 1.85) and inpatient care (RII 3.11, 95% CI 2.63 to 3.66), but not for outpatient secondary care and preventive care.ConclusionsSocioeconomic inequalities in healthcare utilisation in Indonesia are particularly large in secondary and preventive care. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritise policies focused on improving timely, geographical and financial access to secondary and preventive care for lower SES groups.

Project description:This work presents a technique for fault detection and identification in centrifugal pumps (CPs) using a novel fault-specific Mann-Whitney test (FSU Test) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm. Traditional fault indicators, such as the mean, peak, root mean square, and impulse factor, lack sensitivity in detecting incipient faults. Furthermore, for defect identification, supervised models rely on pre-existing knowledge about pump defects for training purposes. To address these concerns, a new centrifugal pump fault indicator (CPFI) that does not rely on previous knowledge is developed based on a novel fault-specific Mann-Whitney test. The new fault indicator is obtained by decomposing the vibration signature (VS) of the centrifugal pump hierarchically into its respective time-frequency representation using the wavelet packet transform (WPT) in the first step. The node containing the fault-specific frequency band is selected, and the Mann-Whitney test statistic is calculated from it. The combination of hierarchical decomposition of the vibration signal for fault-specific frequency band selection and the Mann-Whitney test form the new fault-specific Mann-Whitney test. The test output statistic yields the centrifugal pump fault indicator, which shows sensitivity toward the health condition of the centrifugal pump. This indicator changes according to the working conditions of the centrifugal pump. To further enhance fault detection, a new effect ratio (ER) is introduced. The KNN algorithm is employed to classify the fault type, resulting in promising improvements in fault classification accuracy, particularly under variable operating conditions.
