To deal with inconsistency in process data, it is proposed to use the dynamic time warping technique to make the historical data synchronized first,then build a consistent multi-way principal component analysis model. Fault detection is carried out based on squared prediction error statistical control plot. By defining principal component subspace, residual subspace and sensor validity index, faulty sensor can be reconstructed and identified along the fault direction. Finally, application results are illustrated in detail by use of the real data of an industrial PVC making process.展开更多

Several technologies are used to deal with the process data before modeling.First,a set of preliminary input variables is selected according to prior knowledge and experience. Secondly,a method based on the maximum correlation coefficient is proposed to detect the dead time between the process variables and response variables. Finally, the fuzzy curve method is used to reduce the unimportant input variables.The simulation results based on industrial data show that the relative error range of the FNN model is narrower than that of the American Oil Company (AMOCO) model. Furthermore, the FNN model can predict the trend of the 4-CBA concentration more accurately.展开更多

In this paper, we consider the problem of optimal spectrum selection and transmission parameters de-sign with the objective of minimizing energy con-sumption in CRNs. Since the system state cannot be directly observed due to miss detections and estimation errors, we formulate the optimal spec-trum access problem as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP). In particular, the proposed scheme selects the optimal spectrum, modulation and coding scheme, transmission pow-er, and link layer frame size in each time slot ac-cording to the belief state, which captures all the history information of past actions and observa- tions. The optimal policy can be acquired by sol-ving POMDP problem with linear programming based algorithm Sinmlation results show that sig-nificant energy savings can be achieved by the proposed scheme.展开更多

METHODS: SMAD3/ (n = L9) and colitis-resistant SMAD3+/ (n = 24) mice (8-10 wk of age) were in- fected with/-/, hepaticus and changes in immune cell populations [T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, T regulatory cells] were measured in the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes (MsLNs) at 0 d, 3 d, 7 d and 28 d post-infection using flow cytometry. Genotype-dependent changes in T lymphocytes and granzyme B+ cells were also assessed after 28 d in proximal colon tissue using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: As previously observed, SMAD3+, but not SMAD3+/- mice, developed colitis, peaking at 4 wk post-infection. No significant changes in T cell subsets were observed in the spleen or in the MsLNs between genotypes at any time point. However, CD4+ and CD8+/ CD62L++ cells, an effector T lymphocyte population, as well as NK cells (NKp46/DX5+) were significantly higher in the MsLNs of SMAD3/ mice at 7 d and 28 d post-in- fection. In the colon, a higher number of CD3+ cells were present in SMAD3+ compared to SMAD3+/- mice at base- line, which did not significantly change during infection. However, the number of granzyme B+ cells, a marker of cytolytic lymphoo/tes, significantly increased in SMAD3+ mice 28 d post-infection compared to both SMAD3+/- mice and to baseline values. This was consistent with more severe colitis development in these animals. CONCLUSION: Data suggest that defects in SMAD3 signaling increase susceptibility to H. hepaticus-induced colitis through aberrant activation and/or dysregulation of effector lymphoo/tes.展开更多

Their permeation properties including hydraulic permeability and diffusional permeability can be dramatically controlled or adjusted self-regulatively in response to small chemical and/or physical stimuli in their environments. Such environmental stimuli-responsive smart membranes could find myriad applications in numerous fields ranging from controlled release to separations. Here the trans-membrane mass-transfer and membrane separation is introduced as the beginning to initiate the requirement of smart membranes, and then bio-inspired design of environmental stimuli-responsive smart membranes and four essential elements for smart membranes are introduced and discussed. Next, smart membrane types and their applications as smart tools for controllable mass-transfer in controlled release and separations are reviewed. The research tooics in the near future are also suggested.展开更多
