A precise tidal prediction mechanism based on the combination of harmonic analysis and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system model

An efficient and accurate prediction of a precise tidal level in estuaries and coastal areas is indispensable for the management and decision-making of human activity in the field wok of marine engineering. The variation of the tidal level is a time-varying process. The time-varying factors including interference from the external environment that cause the change of tides are fairly complicated. Furthermore, tidal variations are affected not only by periodic movement of celestial bodies but also by time-varying interference from the external environment. Consequently, for the efficient and precise tidal level prediction, a neuro-fuzzy hybrid technology based on the combination of harmonic analysis and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system（ANFIS）model is utilized to construct a precise tidal level prediction system, which takes both advantages of the harmonic analysis method and the ANFIS network. The proposed prediction model is composed of two modules： the astronomical tide module caused by celestial bodies’ movement and the non-astronomical tide module caused by various meteorological and other environmental factors. To generate a fuzzy inference system（FIS） structure,three approaches which include grid partition（GP）, fuzzy c-means（FCM） and sub-clustering（SC） are used in the ANFIS network constructing process. Furthermore, to obtain the optimal ANFIS based prediction model, large numbers of simulation experiments are implemented for each FIS generating approach. In this tidal prediction study, the optimal ANFIS model is used to predict the non-astronomical tide module, while the conventional harmonic analysis model is used to predict the astronomical tide module. The final prediction result is performed by combining the estimation outputs of the harmonious analysis model and the optimal ANFIS model. To demonstrate the applicability and capability of the proposed novel prediction model, measured tidal level samples of Fort Pulaski tidal station are selected as the testing database. Simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed prediction approach can achieve precise predictions for the tidal level with high accuracy, satisfactory convergence and stability.

Parallel Neural Network-Based Motion Controller for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

A parallel neural network-based controller （PNNC） is presented for the motion control of underwater vehicles in this paper. It consists of a real-time part, a self-learning part and a desired-state programmer, and it is different from normal adaptive neural network controller in structure. Owing to the introduction of the self-learning part, on-line learning can be performed without sample data in several sample periods, resulting in high learning speed of the controller and good control performance. The desired-state programmer is utilized to obtain better learning samples of the neural network to keep the stability of the controller. The developed controller is applied to the 4-degree of freedom control of the AUV “IUV- IV” and is successful on the simulation platform. The control performance is also compared with that of neural network controller with different structures such as normal adaptive neural network and different learning methods. Current effects and surge velocity control are also included to demonstrate the controller＇ s performance. It is shown that the PNNC has a great possibility to solve the problems in the control system design of underwater vehicles.

The simulation result shows its performance is better than the traditional VPN system of black box mode.

Probe on Network-based Collaborative Maintenance Model for After-sales Equipment

In order to make equipment run safely, economically and continuously, some new maintenance models were put forward to improve the equipment after-sale maintenance service, such as E-maintenance, third-party maintenance, etc. To certain extent, the models solved the problem of the distance between the manufacturer and customer and the dispersion of the maintenance technologies, however, those resources are still widely distributed and do not collaborate efficiently. In this paper, a network-based collaborative maintenance service model was proposed for after-sales equipment to solve the problem of maintenance resources integration. Concretely, equipment designers, maintainers, spare parts suppliers and maintenance experts were grouped together to establish dynamic alliance. The leader of the alliance is the manufacturer under guaranty period or equipment user exceeding the guaranty period. The process of maintenance service was divided into three stages which are fault diagnosis, maintenance decision and maintenance implementation. The sub-alliances were established to carry out maintenance work at each stage. In addition, the business process of network-based collaborative maintenance was analyzed and collaborative business system for equipment＇s after-sales collaborative maintenance service was designed. In the end, an informational economics model of network-based collaborative maintenance was established to demonstrate the effectiveness of this maintenance model.

Design and implementation of self-protection agent for network-based intrusion detection system

Static secure techniques, such as firewall, hierarchy filtering, distributed disposing,layer management, autonomy agent, secure communication, were introduced in distributed intrusion detection. The self-protection agents were designed, which have the distributed architecture,cooperate with the agents in intrusion detection in a loose-coupled manner, protect the security of intrusion detection system, and respond to the intrusion actively. A prototype self-protection agent was implemented by using the packet filter in operation system kernel. The results show that all the hosts with the part of network-based intrusion detection system and the whole intrusion detection system are invisible from the outside and network scanning, and cannot apperceive the existence of network-based intrusion detection system. The communication between every part is secure. In the low layer, the packet streams are controlled to avoid the buffer leaks exist ing in some system service process and back-door programs, so as to prevent users from misusing and vicious attack like Trojan Horse effectively.

State feedback control of network-based systems with packet disordering

A new method that stabilizes network-based systems with both bounded delay and packet disordering is discussed under the state feedback controller. A novel model, fully describing the dynamic characteristic of network-based systems with packet disordering, is constructed. Different from the existing models of network-based systems, the number of delay items is time-varying in the model proposed. Further, this model is converted into a parameter-uncertain discrete-time system with time-varying delay item numbers in terms of matrix theory. Moreover, the less conservative stability condition is obtained by avoiding utilisation of Moon et al.’ inequality and bounding inequalities for quadratic functional terms. By solving a minization problem based on linear matrix inequalities, the state feedback controller is presented. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Re-Exploring Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Primary Melanoma Patients: Insights from Network-Based Analysis of Microarray Data

Objective To identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for primary melanoma using network-based microarray data analysis.Methods Eligible microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database were used to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs).The protein-protein interaction(PPI)network,Gene Ontology(GO),and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify hub genes and pathways that might affect the survival of melanoma patients.Immunohistochemistry results obtained from the Human Protein Atlas(HPA)database confirmed the protein expression levels of hub genes.The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database was used to further verify the gene expression levels and conduct survival analysis.Results Three microarray datasets(GSE3189,GSE15605,and GSE46517)containing 122 melanoma and 30 normal skin tissue samples were included.A total of 262 common differentially expressed genes(cDEGs)were identified based on three statistical approaches(Fisher’s method,the random effects model(REM),and vote counting)with strict criteria.Of these,two upregulated genes,centromere protein F(CENPF)and pituitary tumortransforming gene 1(PTTG1),were selected as hub genes.HPA and TCGA database analyses confirmed that CENPF and PTTG1 were overexpressed in melanoma.Survival analysis showed that high expression levels of CENPF were significantly correlated with decreased overall survival(OS)(P=0.028).Conclusion The expression level of CENPF was significantly upregulated in melanoma and correlated with decreased OS.Thus,CENPF may represent a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for melanoma patients.

Language Learning Strategies in a Network-based Environment

With the swift development of network technology, research on how to integrate network technology into language learning has become a trend. This paper examines whether the application of language learning strategy(LLS) in the networkbased environment has incomparable superiority. Beginning with the literature review, it presents an analysis on similarities and differences between network-based language learning strategy(NBLLS) and non-NBLLS, and then expounds the characteristics,the influencing factors and teachers' role of NBLLS. Taking 25 participants in the group of non-NBLL and 34 in the NBLL group as the comparative survey study, the empirical result shows the new evidence that there is a little difference between the two groups in the use of LLS. The findings of this study have implications for the application of NBLLS.

Network-based reconfiguration routes for a self-reconfigurable robot

This paper presents a network-based analysis approach for the reconfiguration problem of a self-reconfigurable robot. The self-reconfigurable modular robot named ＂AMOEBA-I＂ has nine kinds of non-isomorphic configurations that consist of a configuration network. Each configuration of the robot is defined to be a node in the weighted and directed configuration network. The transformation from one configuration to another is represented by a directed path with nonnegative weight. Graph theory is applied in the reconfiguration analysis, where reconfiguration route, reconfigurable matrix and route matrix are defined according to the topological information of these configurations. Algorithms in graph theory have been used in enumerating the available reconfiguration routes and deciding the best reconfiguration route. Numerical analysis and experimental simulation results prove the validity of the approach proposed in this paper. And it is potentially suitable for other self-reconfigurable robots＇ configuration control and reconfiguration planning.

CAD/CAM for scalable nanomanufacturing:A network-based system for hybrid 3D printing

Micro-and nano-structuring have been highlighted over several decades in both science and engineering fields.In addition to continuous efforts in fabrication techniques,investigations in scalable nanomanufacturing have been pursued to achieve reduced feature size,fewer constraints in terms of materials and dimensional complexity,as well as improved process throughput.In this study,based on recent micro-/nanoscale fabrication processes,characteristics and key requirements for computer-aided design and manufacturing(CAD/CAM)systems for scalable nanomanufacturing were investigated.Requirements include a process knowledge database,standardized processing,active communication,adaptive interpolation,a consistent coordinate system,and management of peripheral devices.For scalable nanomanufacturing,it is important to consider the flexibility and expandability of each process,because hybrid and bridging processes represent effective ways to expand process capabilities.As an example,we describe a novel CAD/CAM system for hybrid three-dimensional(3D)printing at the nanoscale.This novel hybrid process was developed by bridging aerodynamically focused nanoparticle printing,focused ion beam milling,micromachining,and spincoating processes.The system developed can print a full 3D structure using various inorganic materials,with a minimum process scale of 50 nm.The most obvious difference versus CAD/CAM at‘conventional’scales is that our system was developed based on a network to promote communication between users and process operators.With the network-based system,it is also possible to narrow the gap among different processes/resources.We anticipate that this approach can contribute to the development of CAD/CAM for scalable nanomanufacturing and a wide range of hybrid processes.

Improving Recommendation for Effective Personalization in Context-Aware Data Using Novel Neural Network

The digital technologies that run based on users’content provide a platform for users to help air their opinions on various aspects of a particular subject or product.The recommendation agents play a crucial role in personalizing the needs of individual users.Therefore,it is essential to improve the user experience.The recommender system focuses on recommending a set of items to a user to help the decision-making process and is prevalent across e-commerce and media websites.In Context-Aware Recommender Systems(CARS),several influential and contextual variables are identified to provide an effective recommendation.A substantial trade-off is applied in context to achieve the proper accuracy and coverage required for a collaborative recommendation.The CARS will generate more recommendations utilizing adapting them to a certain contextual situation of users.However,the key issue is how contextual information is used to create good and intelligent recommender systems.This paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network(ANN)to achieve contextual recommendations based on usergenerated reviews.The ability of ANNs to learn events and make decisions based on similar events makes it effective for personalized recommendations in CARS.Thus,the most appropriate contexts in which a user should choose an item or service are achieved.This work converts every label set into a Multi-Label Classification(MLC)problem to enhance recommendations.Experimental results show that the proposed ANN performs better in the Binary Relevance(BR)Instance-Based Classifier,the BR Decision Tree,and the Multi-label SVM for Trip Advisor and LDOS-CoMoDa Dataset.Furthermore,the accuracy of the proposed ANN achieves better results by 1.1%to 6.1%compared to other existing methods.

Deep Learning Enabled Social Media Recommendation Based on User Comments

Nowadays,review systems have been developed with social media Recommendation systems(RS).Although research on RS social media is increas-ing year by year,the comprehensive literature review and classification of this RS research is limited and needs to be improved.The previous method did notfind any user reviews within a time,so it gets poor accuracy and doesn’tfilter the irre-levant comments efficiently.The Recursive Neural Network-based Trust Recom-mender System(RNN-TRS)is proposed to overcome this method’s problem.So it is efficient to analyse the trust comment and remove the irrelevant sentence appropriately.Thefirst step is to collect the data based on the transactional reviews of social media.The second step is pre-processing using Imbalanced Col-laborative Filtering(ICF)to remove the null values from the dataset.Extract the features from the pre-processing step using the Maximum Support Grade Scale(MSGS)to extract the maximum number of scaling features in the dataset and grade the weights(length,count,etc.).In the Extracting features for Training and testing method before that in the feature weights evaluating the softmax acti-vation function for calculating the average weights of the features.Finally,In the classification method,the Recursive Neural Network-based Trust Recommender System(RNN-TRS)for User reviews based on the Positive and negative scores is analysed by the system.The simulation results improve the predicting accuracy and reduce time complexity better than previous methods.

Hybrid Multi-Object Optimization Method for Tapping Center Machines

This paper proposes a hybrid multi-object optimization method integrating a uniform design,an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system(ANFIS),and a multi-objective particle swarm optimizer(MOPSO)to optimize the rigid tapping parameters and minimize the synchronization errors and cycle times of computer numerical control(CNC)machines.First,rigid tapping parameters and uniform(including 41-level and 19-level)layouts were adopted to collect representative data for modeling.Next,ANFIS was used to build the model for the collected 41-level and 19-level uniform layout experiment data.In tapping center machines,the synchronization errors and cycle times are important consid-erations,so these two objects were used to build the ANFIS models.Then,a MOPSO algorithm was used to search for the optimal parameter combinations for the two ANFIS models simultaneously.The experimental results showed that the proposed method obtains suitable parameter values and optimal parameter combinations compared with the nonsystematic method.Additionally,the optimal parameter combination was used to optimize existing CNC tools during the commissioning process.Adjusting the proportional and integral gains of the spindle could improve resistance to deformation during rigid tapping.The posi-tion gain and prefeedback coefficient can reduce the synchronization errors significantly,and the acceleration and deceleration times of the spindle affect both the machining time and synchronization errors.The proposed method can quickly and accurately minimize synchronization errors from 107 to 19.5 pulses as well as the processing time from 3,600 to 3,248 ms;it can also shorten the machining time significantly and reduce simultaneous errors to improve tapping yield,there-by helping factories achieve carbon reduction.

Anomaly Classification Using Genetic Algorithm-Based Random Forest Modelfor Network Attack Detection

Anomaly classification based on network traffic features is an important task to monitor and detect network intrusion attacks.Network-based intrusion detection systems(NIDSs)using machine learning(ML)methods are effective tools for protecting network infrastructures and services from unpredictable and unseen attacks.Among several ML methods,random forest(RF)is a robust method that can be used in ML-based network intrusion detection solutions.However,the minimum number of instances for each split and the number of trees in the forest are two key parameters of RF that can affect classification accuracy.Therefore,optimal parameter selection is a real problem in RF-based anomaly classification of intrusion detection systems.In this paper,we propose to use the genetic algorithm(GA)for selecting the appropriate values of these two parameters,optimizing the RF classifier and improving the classification accuracy of normal and abnormal network traffics.To validate the proposed GA-based RF model,a number of experiments is conducted on two public datasets and evaluated using a set of performance evaluation measures.In these experiments,the accuracy result is compared with the accuracies of baseline ML classifiers in the recent works.Experimental results reveal that the proposed model can avert the uncertainty in selection the values of RF’s parameters,improving the accuracy of anomaly classification in NIDSs without incurring excessive time.
