In this study, a hybrid model based on oxygen balance mechanism (OBM) and deep neural network (DNN) was established for predicting oxygen blowing time in converter. A three-step method was utilized in the hybrid model. First, the oxygen consumption volume was predicted by the OBM model and DNN model, respectively. Second, a more accurate oxygen consumption volume was obtained by integrating the OBM model and DNN model. Finally, the converter oxygen blowing time was calculated according to the oxygen consumption volume and the oxygen supply intensity of each heat. The proposed hybrid model was verified using the actual data collected from an integrated steel plant in China, and compared with multiple linear regression model, OBM model, and neural network model including extreme learning machine, back propagation neural network, and DNN. The test results indicate that the hybrid model with a network structure of 3 hidden layer layers, 32-16-8 neurons per hidden layer, and 0.1 learning rate has the best prediction accuracy and stronger generalization ability compared with other models. The predicted hit ratio of oxygen consumption volume within the error±300 m^(3)is 96.67%;determination coefficient (R^(2)) and root mean square error (RMSE) are0.6984 and 150.03 m^(3), respectively. The oxygen blow time prediction hit ratio within the error±0.6 min is 89.50%;R2and RMSE are0.9486 and 0.3592 min, respectively. As a result, the proposed model can effectively predict the oxygen consumption volume and oxygen blowing time in the converter.展开更多

文摘Landslide susceptibility mapping(LSM)plays a crucial role in assessing geological risks.The current LSM techniques face a significant challenge in achieving accurate results due to uncertainties associated with regional-scale geotechnical parameters.To explore rainfall-induced LSM,this study proposes a hybrid model that combines the physically-based probabilistic model(PPM)with convolutional neural network(CNN).The PPM is capable of effectively capturing the spatial distribution of landslides by incorporating the probability of failure(POF)considering the slope stability mechanism under rainfall conditions.This significantly characterizes the variation of POF caused by parameter uncertainties.CNN was used as a binary classifier to capture the spatial and channel correlation between landslide conditioning factors and the probability of landslide occurrence.OpenCV image enhancement technique was utilized to extract non-landslide points based on the POF of landslides.The proposed model comprehensively considers physical mechanics when selecting non-landslide samples,effectively filtering out samples that do not adhere to physical principles and reduce the risk of overfitting.The results indicate that the proposed PPM-CNN hybrid model presents a higher prediction accuracy,with an area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.85 based on the landslide case of the Niangniangba area of Gansu Province,China compared with the individual CNN model(AUC=0.61)and the PPM(AUC=0.74).This model can also consider the statistical correlation and non-normal probability distributions of model parameters.These results offer practical guidance for future research on rainfall-induced LSM at the regional scale.

文摘Biological data in fishery ecology have complex structures and are highly heterogeneous.Catch per unit effort(CPUE)estimated from fishery-dependent data are often used to characterize abundance indices(AI)of fish species,which is critical in fish stock assessment.However,additional considerations need to be undertaken to ensure robust estimation because of the latently complicated structures in fishery-dependent data.Here,we elaborated the process of constructing multi-output artificial neural network models to standardize CPUE for heterogeneous fishing operations and applied it to the skipjack tuna(Katsuwonus pelamis)in the western and central Pacific Ocean(WCPO).Seasonal,spatial,and environmental factors were input variables,and the CPUE of four types of skipjack tuna fisheries were set as output variables.The optimal structure for multi-output neural network was evaluated by systematic comparison in 100 runs hold-out cross-validation.The results showed that the final multi-output neural network model with high accuracy can predict the spatial and temporal trends of skipjack tuna abundance.
文摘In Saharan climates,greenhouses face extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations that generate thermal stress,reduce crop productivity,and hinder sustainable agricultural practices.Passive thermal storage using Phase Change Materials(PCM)is a promising solution to stabilize microclimatic conditions.This study aims to evaluate experimentally and numerically the effectiveness of PCM integration for moderating greenhouse temperature fluctuations under Saharan climatic conditions.Two identical greenhouse prototypes were constructed in Ghardaia,Algeria:a reference greenhouse and a PCM-integrated greenhouse using calcium chloride hexahydrate(CaCl_(2)⋅6H_(2)O).Thermal performance was assessed during a five-day experimental period(7–11May 2025)under severe ambient conditions.To complement this,a Nonlinear Auto-Regressive with eXogenous inputs(NARX)neural network model was developed and trained using a larger dataset(7–25 May 2025)to predict greenhouse thermal dynamics.The PCM greenhouse reduced peak daytime air temperature by an average of 8.14℃and decreased the diurnal temperature amplitude by 53.6%compared to the reference greenhouse.The NARX model achieved high predictive accuracy(R^(2)=0.990,RMSE=0.425℃,MAE=0.223℃,MBE=0.008℃),capturing both sensible and latent heat transfer mechanisms,including PCM melting and solidification.The combined experimental and predictive modeling results confirm the potential of PCM integration as an effective passive thermal regulation strategy for greenhouses in arid regions.This approach enhances microclimatic stability,improves energy efficiency,and supports the sustainability of protected agriculture under extreme climatic conditions.

文摘The amount of oxygen blown into the converter is one of the key parameters for the control of the converter blowing process,which directly affects the tap-to-tap time of converter. In this study, a hybrid model based on oxygen balance mechanism (OBM) and deep neural network (DNN) was established for predicting oxygen blowing time in converter. A three-step method was utilized in the hybrid model. First, the oxygen consumption volume was predicted by the OBM model and DNN model, respectively. Second, a more accurate oxygen consumption volume was obtained by integrating the OBM model and DNN model. Finally, the converter oxygen blowing time was calculated according to the oxygen consumption volume and the oxygen supply intensity of each heat. The proposed hybrid model was verified using the actual data collected from an integrated steel plant in China, and compared with multiple linear regression model, OBM model, and neural network model including extreme learning machine, back propagation neural network, and DNN. The test results indicate that the hybrid model with a network structure of 3 hidden layer layers, 32-16-8 neurons per hidden layer, and 0.1 learning rate has the best prediction accuracy and stronger generalization ability compared with other models. The predicted hit ratio of oxygen consumption volume within the error±300 m^(3)is 96.67%;determination coefficient (R^(2)) and root mean square error (RMSE) are0.6984 and 150.03 m^(3), respectively. The oxygen blow time prediction hit ratio within the error±0.6 min is 89.50%;R2and RMSE are0.9486 and 0.3592 min, respectively. As a result, the proposed model can effectively predict the oxygen consumption volume and oxygen blowing time in the converter.

文摘In space operation,flexible manipulators and gripper mechanisms have been widely used because of light weight and flexibility.However,the vibration caused by slender structures in manipulators and the parameter perturbation caused by the uncertainty derived from grasping mass variation cannot be ignored.The existence of vibration and parameter perturbation makes the rotation control of flexible manipulators difficult,which seriously affects the operation accuracy of manipulators.What’s more,the complex dynamic coupling brings great challenges to the dynamics modeling and vibration analysis.To solve this problem,this paper takes the space flexible manipulator with an underactuated hand(SFMUH)as the research object.The dynamics model considering flexibility,multiple nonlinear elements and disturbance torque is established by the assumed modal method(AMM)and Hamilton’s principle.A dynamic modeling simplification method is proposed by analyzing the nonlinear terms.What’s more,a sliding mode control(SMC)method combined with the radial basis function(RBF)neural network compensation is proposed.Besides,the control law is designed using a saturation function in the control method to weaken the chatter phenomenon.With the help of neural networks to identify the uncertainty composition in the SFMUH,the tracking accuracy is improved.The results of ground control experiments verify the advantages of the control method for vibration suppression of the SFMUH.

文摘Wheat is a critical crop,extensively consumed worldwide,and its production enhancement is essential to meet escalating demand.The presence of diseases like stem rust,leaf rust,yellow rust,and tan spot significantly diminishes wheat yield,making the early and precise identification of these diseases vital for effective disease management.With advancements in deep learning algorithms,researchers have proposed many methods for the automated detection of disease pathogens;however,accurately detectingmultiple disease pathogens simultaneously remains a challenge.This challenge arises due to the scarcity of RGB images for multiple diseases,class imbalance in existing public datasets,and the difficulty in extracting features that discriminate between multiple classes of disease pathogens.In this research,a novel method is proposed based on Transfer Generative Adversarial Networks for augmenting existing data,thereby overcoming the problems of class imbalance and data scarcity.This study proposes a customized architecture of Vision Transformers(ViT),where the feature vector is obtained by concatenating features extracted from the custom ViT and Graph Neural Networks.This paper also proposes a Model AgnosticMeta Learning(MAML)based ensemble classifier for accurate classification.The proposedmodel,validated on public datasets for wheat disease pathogen classification,achieved a test accuracy of 99.20%and an F1-score of 97.95%.Compared with existing state-of-the-art methods,this proposed model outperforms in terms of accuracy,F1-score,and the number of disease pathogens detection.In future,more diseases can be included for detection along with some other modalities like pests and weed.

文摘In the realm of engineering practice,various factors such as limited availability of measurement data and complex working conditions pose significant challenges to obtaining accurate load spectra.Thus,accurately predicting the fatigue life of structures becomes notably arduous.This paper proposed an approach to predict the fatigue life of structure based on the optimized load spectra,which is accurately estimated by an efficient hinging hyperplane neural network(EHH-NN)model.The construction of the EHH-NN model includes initial network generation and parameter optimization.Through the combination of working conditions design,multi-body dynamics analysis and structural static mechanics analysis,the simulated load spectra of the structure are obtained.The simulated load spectra are taken as the input variables for the optimized EHH-NN model,while the measurement load spectra are used as the output variables.The prediction results of case structure indicate that the optimized EHH-NN model can achieve the high-accuracy load spectra,in comparison with support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF)model and back propagation(BP)neural network.The error rate between the prediction values and the measurement values of the optimized EHH-NN model is 4.61%.In the Cauchy-Lorentz distribution,the absolute error data of 92%with EHH-NN model appear in the intermediate range of±1.65%.Also,the fatigue life analysis is performed for the case structure,based on the accurately predicted load spectra.The fatigue life of the case structure is calculated based on the comparison between the measured and predicted load spectra,with an accuracy of 93.56%.This research proposes the optimized EHH-NN model can more accurately reflect the measurement load spectra,enabling precise calculation of fatigue life.Additionally,the optimized EHH-NN model provides reliability assessment for industrial engineering equipment.

文摘The effective and timely diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases are key to the rapid recovery of patients.Today,the mass disease that needs attention in this context is cataracts.Although deep learning has significantly advanced the analysis of ocular disease images,there is a need for a probabilistic model to generate the distributions of potential outcomes and thusmake decisions related to uncertainty quantification.Therefore,this study implements a Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks(BCNN)model for predicting cataracts by assigning probability values to the predictions.It prepares convolutional neural network(CNN)and BCNN models.The proposed BCNN model is CNN-based in which reparameterization is in the first and last layers of the CNN model.This study then trains them on a dataset of cataract images filtered from the ocular disease fundus images fromKaggle.The deep CNN model has an accuracy of 95%,while the BCNN model has an accuracy of 93.75% along with information on uncertainty estimation of cataracts and normal eye conditions.When compared with other methods,the proposed work reveals that it can be a promising solution for cataract prediction with uncertainty estimation.
文摘Patients in intensive care units(ICUs)require rapid critical decision making.Modern ICUs are data rich,where information streams from diverse sources.Machine learning(ML)and neural networks(NN)can leverage the rich data for prognostication and clinical care.They can handle complex nonlinear relation-ships in medical data and have advantages over traditional predictive methods.A number of models are used:(1)Feedforward networks;and(2)Recurrent NN and convolutional NN to predict key outcomes such as mortality,length of stay in the ICU and the likelihood of complications.Current NN models exist in silos;their integration into clinical workflow requires greater transparency on data that are analyzed.Most models that are accurate enough for use in clinical care operate as‘black-boxes’in which the logic behind their decision making is opaque.Advan-ces have occurred to see through the opacity and peer into the processing of the black-box.In the near future ML is positioned to help in clinical decision making far beyond what is currently possible.Transparency is the first step toward vali-dation which is followed by clinical trust and adoption.In summary,NNs have the transformative ability to enhance predictive accuracy and improve patient management in ICUs.The concept should soon be turning into reality.
