Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Deep Discriminative Adversarial Domain Adaptation Neural Networks

Intelligent diagnosis driven by big data for mechanical fault is an important means to ensure the safe operation ofequipment. In these methods, deep learning-based machinery fault diagnosis approaches have received increasingattention and achieved some results. It might lead to insufficient performance for using transfer learning alone andcause misclassification of target samples for domain bias when building deep models to learn domain-invariantfeatures. To address the above problems, a deep discriminative adversarial domain adaptation neural networkfor the bearing fault diagnosis model is proposed (DDADAN). In this method, the raw vibration data are firstlyconverted into frequency domain data by Fast Fourier Transform, and an improved deep convolutional neuralnetwork with wide first-layer kernels is used as a feature extractor to extract deep fault features. Then, domaininvariant features are learned from the fault data with correlation alignment-based domain adversarial training.Furthermore, to enhance the discriminative property of features, discriminative feature learning is embeddedinto this network to make the features compact, as well as separable between classes within the class. Finally, theperformance and anti-noise capability of the proposedmethod are evaluated using two sets of bearing fault datasets.The results demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of handling domain offset caused by differentworkingconditions and maintaining more than 97.53% accuracy on various transfer tasks. Furthermore, the proposedmethod can achieve high diagnostic accuracy under varying noise levels.

1 Introduction Yuncheng Salt Lake is an old lake with a history of more than 5000 years,which locates in the margins of the central plains of China,with an area of about 130 km.It was an important resource of salt for human consumption from early times.Major chemicals in Yuncheng Salt Lake contain Na Cl,Na2SO4 and Mg SO4(Gao et al.2007).In recent years,some halophilic bacteria and archaea were

Bayesian inference of the crust–core transition density via the neutron-star radius and neutron-skin thickness data

In this work,we perform a Bayesian inference of the crust-core transition density ρ_(t) of neutron stars based on the neutron-star radius and neutron-skin thickness data using a thermodynamical method.Uniform and Gaussian distributions for the ρ_(t) prior were adopted in the Bayesian approach.It has a larger probability of having values higher than 0.1 fm^(−3) for ρ_(t) as the uniform prior and neutron-star radius data were used.This was found to be controlled by the curvature K_(sym) of the nuclear symmetry energy.This phenomenon did not occur if K_(sym) was not extremely negative,namely,K_(sym)>−200 MeV.The value ofρ_(t) obtained was 0.075_(−0.01)^(+0.005) fm^(−3) at a confidence level of 68%when both the neutron-star radius and neutron-skin thickness data were considered.Strong anti-correlations were observed between ρ_(t),slope L,and curvature of the nuclear symmetry energy.The dependence of the three L-K_(sym) correlations predicted in the literature on crust-core density and pressure was quantitatively investigated.The most probable value of 0.08 fm^(−3) for ρ_(t) was obtained from the L-K_(sym) relationship proposed by Holt et al.while larger values were preferred for the other two relationships.

Trajectory equation of a lump before and after collision with other waves for generalized Hirota–Satsuma–Ito equation

Based on the Hirota bilinear and long wave limit methods,the hybrid solutions of m-lump with n-soliton and nbreather wave for generalized Hirota–Satsuma–Ito(GHSI)equation are constructed.Then,by approximating solutions of the GHSI equation along some parallel orbits at infinity,the trajectory equation of a lump wave before and after collisions with n-soliton and n-breather wave are studied,and the expressions of phase shift for lump wave before and after collisions are given.Furthermore,it is revealed that collisions between the lump wave and other waves are elastic,the corresponding collision diagrams are used to further explain.

Saline soil enzyme activities of four plant communities in Sangong River basin of Xinjiang,China

Soil enzyme activity plays an important role in the conversion of soil organic carbon into inorganic carbon, which is significant for the global carbon cycle. In this study, we investigated the soil enzyme activities of two ligninolytic enzymes （peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase） and five non-ligninolytic enzymes （a-l,4-glucosidase （AG）; 13-1,4-gluco- sidase （BG）; N-acetyl-[3-glucosaminidase （NAG）; ~3-D-cellobiosidase （CBH）; and ^-xylosidase （BXYL）） in four plant communities of the Sangong River basin in Fukang, North Xinjiang, China. The four typical plant communities were dominated by Haloxylon ammodendron, Reaumuria soongonica, Salsola passerina, and Tamarix rarmosissima, respec- tively, with saline soils of varied alkalinity. The results showed that the soil peroxidase activity decreased seasonally. The activities of the five non-ligninolytic enzymes decreased with increasing soil depths, while those of the two ligninolytic enzymes did not show such a trend. In the four plant communities, BG had the highest activity among the five non-ligninolytic enzymes, and the activities of the two ligninolytic enzymes were higher than those of the four non-ligninolytic ones （AG, NAG, CBH, and BXYL）. The community of H. ammodendron displayed the highest activity with respect to the two ligninolytic enzymes in most cases, but no significant differences were found among the four plant communities. The geometric mean of soil enzyme activities of the four plant communities was validated through an inde- pendently performed principal component analysis （PCA）, which indicated that different plant communities had different soil enzyme activities. The correlation analysis showed that soil polyphenol oxidase activity was significantly positively correlated with the activities of the five non-ligninolytic enzymes. The soil pH value was positively correlated with the ac- tivities of all soil enzymes except peroxidase. Soil microbial carbon content also showed a significant positive correlation （P〈0.01） with the activities of all soil enzymes except polyphenol oxidase. The results suggested that the H. ammoden- dron community has the highest ability to utilize soil organic carbon, and glucoside could be the most extensively utilized non-ligninolytic carbon source in the saline soil of arid areas in Xinjiang.

Natural resource dependence, public education investment,and human capital accumulation

This paper examines the relationships between natural resource dependence, public education investment, and human capital accumulation. It addresses why the “blessing” of abundant natural resources often turns into a “curse” in many countries and regions, focusing on the crowding-out effect of natural resources on human capital. According to our empirical analysis of provincial panel data from China, natural resource dependence is significantly and negatively correlated with human capital accumulation. The crowding-out effect of natural resources on human capital exists only in the central and western regions of China. Our introduction of an interaction term for natural resource dependence and public education investment underscores the possibility of investing in public education to reduce the crowding-out effect of natural resource dependence on human capital. The government should utilize the income of the natural resource sector to increase investment in education to enhance local human capital.

Probing the density dependence of the symmetry energy with central heavy ion collisions

An improved isospin dependent Boltzmann Langevin model,in which the inelastic channels and momentum dependent interactions are incorporated,is used to investigate the high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy.By taking several forms of nuclear symmetry energy,we calculate the time evolutions of neutron over proton ratio,π multiplicity and π-/π+ ratio,and the kinetic energy and transverse momentum spectra of π-/π+ ratio in the heavy ion collisions at 400A MeV.It is found that the neutron over proton ratio and π-/π+ ratio are very sensitive to the nuclear symmetry energy,and the π-is more sensitive to the nuclear symmetry energy than the π+.A supersoft symmetry energy results in a larger π-/π+ ratio.

Electrochemical Synthesis and Magnetic Studies of Ni-Fe-Co-Mn-Bi-Tm High Entropy Alloy Film

Amorphous Ni-Fe-Co-Mn-Bi-Tm high entropy alloy films were firstly prepared by potentiostatic electro- deposition. The results indicate that the six elements can be co-deposited in an organic system of DMF （N,N-dimethylformamide）-CH3CN. The surface of the film is composed of compact and uniform particles with triangular cone shape and a particle size of 100-200 nm. A simple face-centered-cubic structure is identified by XRD patterns after the films were annealed under Ar atmosphere. The annealed alloy film shows soft magnetic properties and the magnetization decreases with Fe content decreasing.

Effects of Ag layers on the microstructure and magnetic properties of CoPt/BN multilayer films

Ag/[BN/CoPt]5/Ag and [BN/Ag/CoPt]5/Ag thin films were deposited on glass substrates by magnetron sputtering and then annealed in vac- uum at 600 ℃ for 30 min. The structures and magnetic properties of CoPt/BN multilayer films were investigated as a function of Ag layer thickness. It was found that the face-centered tetragonal （fct） （001） texture of CoPt was improved greatly by introducing the Ag toplayer or sublayer together with an Ag underlayer. Good （001）-oriented growth, low intergrain interactions as well as high perpendicular anisotropy can be obtained in the Ag（3 nm）/[BN（2.5 nm）/CoPt（3 nm）]5/Ag（7 nm） and [BN（2.5 nm）/Ag（2 nm）/CoPt（3 nm）]5/Ag（10 nm） films, which become potential candidates for ultrahigh density magnetic recording media.

Physiological Characteristics of Boscalid Against Botrytis cinerea from Strawberry

A total of 96 monoconidial Botrytis cinerea strains were isolated from strawberry field.Physiological characteristics and resistance analysis to boscalid were investigated.Most isolates showed resistant phenotype and the resistance frequency of highly resistant isolates was as high as 45.10%.The effective concentration that inhibited conidia germination by 50% relative to the control values for sensitive isolates ranged from 0.068 to 60.56μg·mL^-1 in conidia germination assays.Compared to the sensitive strains,the boscalid-resistant strains had a significant increase in phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL)and peroxidase(POD)activity and more sensitivity to boscalid pressure.Fitness analysis showed statistically significant difference between sensitive and resistance isolates.Sequencing of SdhB gene indicated that a single mutation corresponded to His272.The results suggested that resistance to boscalid in B.cinerea populations could result in failure to control gray mold.These results would enrich the understanding of the resistance mechanism of B.cinerea to boscalid.

Characterization, Adsorption Properties and Mechanism of Modified Sophora Japonica Leaves to Benzene

The biosorbent has been prepared with the sophora japonica leaves from the agricultural residue as the raw material by the alkaline blanching method, and characterized by BET, SEM, EDS and FTIR analysis methods. The modified sophora japonica leaves possessed more adsorption sites and had more strongly adsorbed chemical groups, which were beneficial to the adsorption. We have further investigated the adsorption performance of the indoor benzene. The secondary regression orthogonal rotation was employed to optimize the preparation process for the optimal processing conditions and regression model. The effects of single factors such as particle size, temperature, and adsorbent dosage of the sophora japonica leaves were analyzed, and adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics were studied. The results show that the optimal adsorption conditions were as follows: sodium hydroxide concentration with 0.1 mol/L, water bath time for 70 min, water bath temperature at 60 ℃ and Ymax = 21.38%. The best single factors included particle size with 30 mesh, temperature at 25 oC, 3 g dosage, which are consistent with the Freundlich model, and the adsorption state was more inclined to multilayer active site adsorption with 25 mg/g of saturated adsorption amount;furthermore, the adsorption kinetics followed the quasi-secondary kinetic model(R2 = 0.9731) and the adsorption process was a physicochemical mixed adsorption process controlled by chemisorption;Compared with the adsorption effect, the removal rate to the benzene of modified sophora japonica leaves was significantly superior to other materials at the level 1%, namely, modified sophora japonica leaves > diatomite> bamboo charcoal > activated carbon > macroporous resin, and the modified biosorbent had a good cycle regeneration ability.

Investigation on the Association of Soil Microbial Populations with Ecological and Environmental Factors in the Pearl River Estuary

An investigation on the soil microbe populations from an agricultural inning area at the Pearl River estuary in Guangdong province, China was conducted via high through-put sequencing. The results revealed abundant diversity in the soil bacterial and fungal populations. In total, 197103 sequence tags were obtained from soil samples, most of which represented bacterial genera Actinomycetes, Bacillus and Marinobacter, while a majority of 118378 tags obtained were derived from fungal genera Clostridium, Devosia, Bradyrhizobium, Bdellovibrio, Phenylobacterium, Penicillium, and Emericella. Furthermore, nine physiological indexes (pH, available phosphorous, basic-group nitrogen, available potassium, catalase, sucrose, urease, phosphatase, and organic matters) were measured in three soil samples, and the association between these physiological indexes and microbe population composition was examined. The results revealed obvious inter-sample differences associated with ten dominating microbial groups: genera Clostridium, Devosia, Bradyrhizobium, Bdellovibrio, Phenylobacterium, and Penicillium were mainly impacted by pH (with a positive correlation), genera Sphingomonas and Acinetobacter mainly by available phosphorous (positive correlation), and genera Gemmatimonas and Pseudomonas by both pH and available phosphorous (negative correlation). Our study suggested that regulation of microbial species/populations might help improve soil environment to facilitate the growth of crops’ above-ground parts, and this provides practical information for inning agriculture.
