This fact has been proven in practice, where the success of construction cost estimate process is mainly based on knowledge of human estimator. The main question concerns what human knowledge determines the success of the construction cost estimation process. To address this question we have applied Delphi technique and the output is eleven factors that are enough to precisely represent construction cost estimator knowledge. Then we have used First Order Logic (FOL) to represent these factors in terms of predicates and rules. These FOL rules could be used for evaluating construction cost estimator knowledge in five classes: fail, pass, acceptable, good, and very good. As a validation process we have done experiments using history data and the results have proved the accuracy of our proposed method.展开更多

But there is scarcely any research focusing on fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of Hall sensor used in PMSM. From this standpoint, the Hall sensor faults which may occur during the PMSM operating are theoretically analyzed. According to the analysis results, the fault diagnosis algorithm of Hall sensor, which is based on three rules, is proposed to classify the fault phenomena accurately. The rotor phase estimation algorithms, based on one or two Hall sensor(s), are initialized to engender the fault-tolerant control algorithm. The fault diagnosis algorithm can detect 60 Hall fault phenomena in total as well as all detections can be fulfilled in 1/138 rotor rotation period. The fault-tolerant control algorithm can achieve a smooth torque production which means the same control effect as normal control mode (with three Hall sensors). Finally, the PMSM bench test verifies the accuracy and rapidity of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control strategies. The fault diagnosis algorithm can detect all Hall sensor faults promptly and fault-tolerant control algorithm allows the PMSM to face failure conditions of one or two Hall sensor(s). In addition, the transitions between health-control and fault-tolerant control conditions are smooth without any additional noise and harshness. Proposed algorithms can deal with the Hall sensor faults of PMSM in real applications, and can be provided to realize the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of PMSM.展开更多

Hongze Lake is the fourth biggest freshwater lake in China. In the past three decades, there has been significant loss of freshwater wet- lands within the lake and at the mouths of neighboring rivers, due to disturbance, primarily from human activities. The main purpose of this paper was to explore a practical technology for differentiating wetlands effectively from upland types in close proximity to them. In the paper, an integrated method, which combined per-pixel and per-field classifi- cation, was used for mapping wetlands of Hongze Lake and their neighboring upland types. Firstly, Landsat ETM＋ imagery was segmented and classified by using spectral and textural features. Secondly, ETM＋ spectral bands, textural features derived from ETM＋ Pan imagery, relative relations between neighboring classes, shape fea^xes, and elevation were used in a decision tree classification. Thirdly, per-pixel classification results from the decision tree classifier were improved by using classification results from object-oriented classification as a context. The results show that the technology has not only overcome the salt-and-pepper effect commonly observed in the past studies, but also has im- proved the accuracy of identification by nearly 5%.展开更多

However, project managers are unaware of the students’ lack of experience and treat them as if they were professional staff. This paper proposes the application of a fuzzy failure mode and effects analysis model for project-based software engineering education. This method integrates the fuzzy rule-based system with learning agents. The agents construct the membership function from historical data. Data are processed by a clustering process that facilitates the construction of the membership function. It helps students who lack experience in risk assessment to develop their expertise in that skill. The paper also suggests a classification technique for a fuzzy rule-based system that can be used to judge risk based on a fuzzy inference system. The student project will thus be further enhanced with respect to risk assessment. We then discuss the design of experiments to verify the proposed model.展开更多

Demonstrating a rule base to be free from error remains one of the obstacles to the adoption of this technology. In the past several years, a vast body of research has been carried out in developing various graphical techniques such as utilizing Petri Nets to analyze structural errors in rule-based systems, which utilize propositional logic. Four typical errors in rule-based systems are redundancy, circularity, incompleteness, and inconsistency. Recently, a DNA-based computing approach to detect these errors has been proposed. That paper presents algorithms which are able to detect structural errors just for special cases. For a rule base, which contains multiple starting nodes and goal nodes, structural errors are not removed correctly by utilizing the algorithms proposed in that paper and algorithms lack generality. In this study algorithms mainly based on Adleman’s operations, which are able to detect structural errors, in any form that they may arise in rule base, are presented. The potential of applying our algorithm is auspicious giving the operational time complexity of O(n*(Max{q, K, z})), in which n is the number of fact clauses;q is the number of rules in the longest inference chain;K is the number of tubes containing antecedents which are comprised of distinct number of starting nodes;and z denotes the maximum number of distinct antecedents comprised of the same number of starting nodes.展开更多

文摘For improving the translation quality of transfer-based MT system,a new metric for rule evaluation was proposed and applied to rule-base optimization.At the same time,a frequency filter was used to delete redundance before new acquired rules were added into rule-base.The new optimization method was applied to a general MT system.Experimental results show that the frequency filter is helpful to provide the knowledge expansion space of MT system for new acquired rules.The translation assessment score of open test corpus (including 2500 Chinese sentences) obtained is increased by 3.58% under 5-gram Nist metric,which is two times of that obtained by previous methods.
文摘Train traffic rescheduling is a complicated and large-scaled combinatorial problem. According to the characteristics of China railway system and from the point of practical use, this paper introduces a rule-based train traffic reschedule interactive simulator. It can be used as a powerful training tool to train the dispatcher and to carry out experimental analysis. The production rules are used as the basic for describing the processes to be simulated. With the increase of rule, users can easily upgrade the simulator by adding their own rules.
文摘Identity verification using authenticity evaluation of handwritten signatures is an important issue.There have been several approaches for the verification of signatures using dynamics of the signing process.Most of these approaches extract only global characteristics.With the aim of capturing both dynamic global and local features,this paper introduces a novel model for verifying handwritten dynamic signatures using neutrosophic rule-based verification system(NRVS)and Genetic NRVS(GNRVS)models.The neutrosophic Logic is structured to reflect multiple types of knowledge and relations among all features using three values:truth,indeterminacy,and falsity.These three values are determined by neutrosophic membership functions.The proposed model also is able to deal with all features without the need to select from them.In the GNRVS model,the neutrosophic rules are automatically chosen by Genetic Algorithms.The performance of the proposed system is tested on the MCYT-Signature-100 dataset.In terms of the accuracy,average error rate,false acceptance rate,and false rejection rate,the experimental results indicate that the proposed model has a significant advantage compared to different well-known models.
文摘In the field of sentiment analysis,extracting aspects or opinion targets fromuser reviews about a product is a key task.Extracting the polarity of an opinion is much more useful if we also know the targeted Aspect or Feature.Rule based approaches,like dependency-based rules,are quite popular and effective for this purpose.However,they are heavily dependent on the authenticity of the employed parts-of-speech(POS)tagger and dependency parser.Another popular rule based approach is to use sequential rules,wherein the rules formulated by learning from the user’s behavior.However,in general,the sequential rule-based approaches have poor generalization capability.Moreover,existing approaches mostly consider an aspect as a noun or noun phrase,so these approaches are unable to extract verb aspects.In this article,we have proposed a multi-layered rule-based(ML-RB)technique using the syntactic dependency parser based rules along with some selective sequential rules in separate layers to extract noun aspects.Additionally,after rigorous analysis,we have also constructed rules for the extraction of verb aspects.These verb rules primarily based on the association between verb and opinion words.The proposed multi-layer technique compensates for the weaknesses of individual layers and yields improved results on two publicly available customer review datasets.The F1 score for both the datasets are 0.90 and 0.88,respectively,which are better than existing approaches.These improved results can be attributed to the application of sequential/syntactic rules in a layered manner as well as the capability to extract both noun and verb aspects.

文摘The Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN)are vulnerable to assaults due to the fact that the devices connected to them have a reliable connection to the inter-net.A malicious node acts as the controller and uses a grey hole attack to get the data from all of the other nodes in the network.Additionally,the nodes are dis-carding and modifying the data packets according to the requirements of the sys-tem.The assault modifies the fundamental concept of the WSNs,which is that different devices should communicate with one another.In the proposed system,there is a fuzzy idea offered for the purpose of preventing the grey hole attack from making effective communication among the WSN devices.The currently available model is unable to recognise the myriad of different kinds of attacks.The fuzzy engine identified suspicious actions by utilising the rules that were gen-erated to make a prediction about the malicious node that would halt the process.Experiments conducted using simulation are used to determine delay,accuracy,energy consumption,throughput,and the ratio of packets successfully delivered.It stands in contrast to the model that was suggested,as well as the methodologies that are currently being used,and analogue behavioural modelling.In comparison to the existing method,the proposed model achieves an accuracy rate of 45 per-cent,a packet delivery ratio of 79 percent,and a reduction in energy usage of around 35.6 percent.These results from the simulation demonstrate that the fuzzy grey detection technique that was presented has the potential to increase the net-work’s capability of detecting grey hole assaults.
文摘Project-based learning has been in widespread use in education. However, project managers are unaware of the students’ lack of experience and treat them as if they were professional staff. This paper proposes the application of a fuzzy failure mode and effects analysis model for project-based software engineering education. This method integrates the fuzzy rule-based system with learning agents. The agents construct the membership function from historical data. Data are processed by a clustering process that facilitates the construction of the membership function. It helps students who lack experience in risk assessment to develop their expertise in that skill. The paper also suggests a classification technique for a fuzzy rule-based system that can be used to judge risk based on a fuzzy inference system. The student project will thus be further enhanced with respect to risk assessment. We then discuss the design of experiments to verify the proposed model.
文摘As rule-based systems (RBS) technology gains wider acceptance, the need to create and maintain large knowledge bases will assume greater importance. Demonstrating a rule base to be free from error remains one of the obstacles to the adoption of this technology. In the past several years, a vast body of research has been carried out in developing various graphical techniques such as utilizing Petri Nets to analyze structural errors in rule-based systems, which utilize propositional logic. Four typical errors in rule-based systems are redundancy, circularity, incompleteness, and inconsistency. Recently, a DNA-based computing approach to detect these errors has been proposed. That paper presents algorithms which are able to detect structural errors just for special cases. For a rule base, which contains multiple starting nodes and goal nodes, structural errors are not removed correctly by utilizing the algorithms proposed in that paper and algorithms lack generality. In this study algorithms mainly based on Adleman’s operations, which are able to detect structural errors, in any form that they may arise in rule base, are presented. The potential of applying our algorithm is auspicious giving the operational time complexity of O(n*(Max{q, K, z})), in which n is the number of fact clauses;q is the number of rules in the longest inference chain;K is the number of tubes containing antecedents which are comprised of distinct number of starting nodes;and z denotes the maximum number of distinct antecedents comprised of the same number of starting nodes.

文摘Modal parameters can accurately characterize the structural dynamic properties and assess the physical state of the structure.Therefore,it is particularly significant to identify the structural modal parameters according to the monitoring data information in the structural health monitoring(SHM)system,so as to provide a scientific basis for structural damage identification and dynamic model modification.In view of this,this paper reviews methods for identifying structural modal parameters under environmental excitation and briefly describes how to identify structural damages based on the derived modal parameters.The paper primarily introduces data-driven modal parameter recognition methods(e.g.,time-domain,frequency-domain,and time-frequency-domain methods,etc.),briefly describes damage identification methods based on the variations of modal parameters(e.g.,natural frequency,modal shapes,and curvature modal shapes,etc.)and modal validation methods(e.g.,Stability Diagram and Modal Assurance Criterion,etc.).The current status of the application of artificial intelligence(AI)methods in the direction of modal parameter recognition and damage identification is further discussed.Based on the pre-vious analysis,the main development trends of structural modal parameter recognition and damage identification methods are given to provide scientific references for the optimized design and functional upgrading of SHM systems.

文摘To analyze the differences in the transport and distribution of different types of proppants and to address issues such as the short effective support of proppant and poor placement in hydraulically intersecting fractures,this study considered the combined impact of geological-engineering factors on conductivity.Using reservoir production parameters and the discrete elementmethod,multispherical proppants were constructed.Additionally,a 3D fracture model,based on the specified conditions of the L block,employed coupled(Computational Fluid Dynamics)CFD-DEM(Discrete ElementMethod)for joint simulations to quantitatively analyze the transport and placement patterns of multispherical proppants in intersecting fractures.Results indicate that turbulent kinetic energy is an intrinsic factor affecting proppant transport.Moreover,the efficiency of placement and migration distance of low-sphericity quartz sand constructed by the DEM in the main fracture are significantly reduced compared to spherical ceramic proppants,with a 27.7%decrease in the volume fraction of the fracture surface,subsequently affecting the placement concentration and damaging fracture conductivity.Compared to small-angle fractures,controlling artificial and natural fractures to expand at angles of 45°to 60°increases the effective support length by approximately 20.6%.During hydraulic fracturing of gas wells,ensuring the fracture support area and post-closure conductivity can be achieved by controlling the sphericity of proppants and adjusting the perforation direction to control the direction of artificial fractures.
文摘This study investigated the physicochemical properties,enzyme activities,volatile flavor components,microbial communities,and sensory evaluation of high-temperature Daqu(HTD)during the maturation process,and a standard system was established for comprehensive quality evaluation of HTD.There were obvious changes in the physicochemical properties,enzyme activities,and volatile flavor components at different storage periods,which affected the sensory evaluation of HTD to a certain extent.The results of high-throughput sequencing revealed significant microbial diversity,and showed that the bacterial community changed significantly more than did the fungal community.During the storage process,the dominant bacterial genera were Kroppenstedtia and Thermoascus.The correlation between dominant microorganisms and quality indicators highlighted their role in HTD quality.Lactococcus,Candida,Pichia,Paecilomyces,and protease activity played a crucial role in the formation of isovaleraldehyde.Acidic protease activity had the greatest impact on the microbial community.Moisture promoted isobutyric acid generation.Furthermore,the comprehensive quality evaluation standard system was established by the entropy weight method combined with multi-factor fuzzy mathematics.Consequently,this study provides innovative insights for comprehensive quality evaluation of HTD during storage and establishes a groundwork for scientific and rational storage of HTD and quality control of sauce-flavor Baijiu.
