Structural modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis based on Hilbert-Huang transform

Traditional modal parameter identifi cation methods have many disadvantages,especially when used for processing nonlinear and non-stationary signals.In addition,they are usually not able to accurately identify the damping ratio and damage.In this study,methods based on the Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) are investigated for structural modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis.First,mirror extension and prediction via a radial basis function(RBF) neural network are used to restrain the troublesome end-effect issue in empirical mode decomposition(EMD),which is a crucial part of HHT.Then,the approaches based on HHT combined with other techniques,such as the random decrement technique(RDT),natural excitation technique(NExT) and stochastic subspace identifi cation(SSI),are proposed to identify modal parameters of structures.Furthermore,a damage diagnosis method based on the HHT is also proposed.Time-varying instantaneous frequency and instantaneous energy are used to identify the damage evolution of the structure.The relative amplitude of the Hilbert marginal spectrum is used to identify the damage location of the structure.Finally,acceleration records at gauge points from shaking table testing of a 12-story reinforced concrete frame model are taken to validate the proposed approaches.The results show that the proposed approaches based on HHT for modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis are reliable and practical.

Intelligent Risk-Identification Algorithm with Vision and 3D LiDAR Patterns at Damaged Buildings

Existingfirefighting robots are focused on simple storage orfire sup-pression outside buildings rather than detection or recognition.Utilizing a large number of robots using expensive equipment is challenging.This study aims to increase the efficiency of search and rescue operations and the safety offirefigh-ters by detecting and identifying the disaster site by recognizing collapsed areas,obstacles,and rescuers on-site.A fusion algorithm combining a camera and three-dimension light detection and ranging(3D LiDAR)is proposed to detect and loca-lize the interiors of disaster sites.The algorithm detects obstacles by analyzingfloor segmentation and edge patterns using a mask regional convolutional neural network(mask R-CNN)features model based on the visual data collected from a parallelly connected camera and 3D LiDAR.People as objects are detected using you only look once version 4(YOLOv4)in the image data to localize persons requiring rescue.The point cloud data based on 3D LiDAR cluster the objects using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)clustering algorithm and estimate the distance to the actual object using the center point of the clustering result.The proposed artificial intelligence(AI)algorithm was verified based on individual sensors using a sensor-mounted robot in an actual building to detectfloor surfaces,atypical obstacles,and persons requiring rescue.Accordingly,the fused AI algorithm was comparatively verified.

Hybrid Feature Extractions and CNN for Enhanced Periocular Identification During Covid-19

The global pandemic of novel coronavirus that started in 2019 has ser-iously affected daily lives and placed everyone in a panic condition.Widespread coronavirus led to the adoption of social distancing and people avoiding unneces-sary physical contact with each other.The present situation advocates the require-ment of a contactless biometric system that could be used in future authentication systems which makesfingerprint-based person identification ineffective.Periocu-lar biometric is the solution because it does not require physical contact and is able to identify people wearing face masks.However,the periocular biometric region is a small area,and extraction of the required feature is the point of con-cern.This paper has proposed adopted multiple features and emphasis on the periocular region.In the proposed approach,combination of local binary pattern(LBP),color histogram and features in frequency domain have been used with deep learning algorithms for classification.Hence,we extract three types of fea-tures for the classification of periocular regions for biometric.The LBP represents the textual features of the iris while the color histogram represents the frequencies of pixel values in the RGB channel.In order to extract the frequency domain fea-tures,the wavelet transformation is obtained.By learning from these features,a convolutional neural network(CNN)becomes able to discriminate the features and can provide better recognition results.The proposed approach achieved the highest accuracy rates with the lowest false person identification.

Grapes,one of the oldest tree species globally,are rich in vitamins.However,environmental conditions such as low temperature and soil salinization significantly affect grape yield and quality.The glutamate receptor(GLR)family,comprising highly conserved ligand-gated ion channels,regulates plant growth and development in response to stress.In this study,11 members of the VvGLR gene family in grapes were identified using whole-genome sequence analysis.Bioinformatic methods were employed to analyze the basic physical and chemical properties,phylogenetic trees,conserved domains,motifs,expression patterns,and evolutionary relationships.Phylogenetic and collinear analyses revealed that the VvGLRs were divided into three subgroups,showing the high conservation of the grape GLR family.These members exhibited 2 glutamate receptor binding regions(GABAb and GluR)and 3-4 transmembrane regions(M1,M2,M3,and M4).Real-time quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated the sensitivity of all VvGLRs to low temperature and salt stress.Subsequent localization studies in Nicotiana tabacum verified that VvGLR3.1 and VvGLR3.2 proteins were located on the cell membrane and cell nucleus.Additionally,yeast transformation experiments confirmed the functionality of VvGLR3.1 and VvGLR3.2 in response to low temperature and salt stress.Thesefindings highlight the significant role of the GLR family,a highly conserved group of ion channels,in enhancing grape stress resistance.This study offers new insights into the grape GLR gene family,providing fundamental knowledge for further functional analysis and breeding of stress-resistant grapevines.

Exploration of transferable deep learning-aided radio frequency fingerprint identification systems

Radio frequency fingerprint identification(RFFI)shows great potential as a means for authenticating wireless devices.As RFFI can be addressed as a classification problem,deep learning techniques are widely utilized in modern RFFI systems for their outstanding performance.RFFI is suitable for securing the legacy existing Internet of Things(IoT)networks since it does not require any modifications to the existing end-node hardware and communication protocols.However,most deep learning-based RFFI systems require the collection of a great number of labelled signals for training,which is time-consuming and not ideal,especially for the Io T end nodes that are already deployed and configured with long transmission intervals.Moreover,the long time required to train a neural network from scratch also limits rapid deployment on legacy Io T networks.To address the above issues,two transferable RFFI protocols are proposed in this paper leveraging the concept of transfer learning.More specifically,they rely on fine-tuning and distance metric learning,respectively,and only require only a small amount of signals from the legacy IoT network.As the dataset used for transfer is small,we propose to apply augmentation in the transfer process to generate more training signals to improve performance.A Lo Ra-RFFI testbed consisting of 40 commercial-off-the-shelf(COTS)Lo Ra IoT devices and a software-defined radio(SDR)receiver is built to experimentally evaluate the proposed approaches.The experimental results demonstrate that both the fine-tuning and distance metric learning-based RFFI approaches can be rapidly transferred to another Io T network with less than ten signals from each Lo Ra device.The classification accuracy is over 90%,and the augmentation technique can improve the accuracy by up to 20%.

Denatured Thermodynamics of Proteins in Weak Cation-exchange Chromatography

The thermostability of some proteins in weak cation-exchange chromatography was investigated at 20-80 ℃. The results show that there is a fixed thermal denaturation transition temperature for each protein. The appearance of the thermal transition temperature indicates that the conformations of the proteins are destroyed seriously. The thermal behavior of the proteins in weak cation-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies were compared in a wide temperature range. It was found that the proteins have a higher thermostability in a weak cation-exchange chromatography system. The thermodynamic parameters(Δ H 0, Δ S 0) of those proteins were determined by means of Vant Hoff relationship(ln k -1/ T ). According to standard entropy change(Δ S 0), the conformational change of the proteins was judged in the chromatographic process. The linear relationships between Δ H 0 and Δ S 0 can be used to evaluate 'compensation temperature'( β ) at the protein denaturation and identify the identity of the protein retention mechanism in weak cation-exchange chromatography.

Individual automatic detection and identification of big cats with the combination of different body parts

The development of facial recognition technology has become an increasingly powerful tool in wild animal indi-vidual recognition.In this paper,we develop an automatic detection and recognition method with the combinations of body features of big cats based on the deep convolutional neural network(CNN).We collected dataset including 12244 images from 47 individual Amur tigers(Panthera tigris altaica)at the Siberian Tiger Park by mobile phones and digital camera and 1940 images and videos of 12 individual wild Amur leopard(Panthera pardus orientalis)by infrared cameras.First,the single shot multibox detector algorithm is used to perform the automatic detection process of feature regions in each image.For the different feature regions of the image,like face stripe or spots,CNNs and multi-layer perceptron models were applied to automatically identify tiger and leopard individuals,in-dependently.Our results show that the identification accuracy of Amur tiger can reach up to 93.27%for face front,93.33%for right body stripe,and 93.46%for left body stripe.Furthermore,the combination of right face,left body stripe,and right body stripe achieves the highest accuracy rate,up to 95.55%.Consequently,the combination of different body parts can improve the individual identification accuracy.However,it is not the higher the number of body parts,the higher the accuracy rate.The combination model with 3 body parts has the highest accuracy.The identification accuracy of Amur leopard can reach up to 86.90%for face front,89.13%for left body spots,and 88.33%for right body spots.The accuracy of different body parts combination is lower than the independent part.For wild Amur leopard,the combination of face with body spot part is not helpful for the improvement of identification accuracy.The most effective identification part is still the independent left or right body spot part.It can be applied in long-term monitoring of big cats,including big data analysis for animal behavior,and be helpful for the individual identification of other wildlife species.
