The integrated approach is specialized for the middle Permian Shihezi Formation TGSs in the northeastern Ordos Basin, where operators often face significant drilling uncertainty and increased exploration risks due to low porosities and micro-Darcy range permeabilities. In this study, detrital compositions and diagenetic minerals and their pore type assemblages were analyzed using optical light microscopy, cathodoluminescence, standard scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Different types of diagenetic facies were delineated on this basis to capture the characteristic rock properties of the TGSs in the target formation.A combination of He porosity and permeability measurements, mercury intrusion capillary pressure and nuclear magnetic resonance data was used to analyze the mechanism of heterogeneous TGS reservoirs.We found that the type, size and proportion of pores considerably varied between diagenetic facies due to differences in the initial depositional attributes and subsequent diagenetic alterations;these differences affected the size, distribution and connectivity of the pore network and varied the reservoir quality. Five types of diagenetic facies were classified:(i) grain-coating facies, which have minimal ductile grains, chlorite coatings that inhibit quartz overgrowths, large intergranular pores that dominate the pore network, the best pore structure and the greatest reservoir quality;(ii) quartz-cemented facies,which exhibit strong quartz overgrowths, intergranular porosity and a pore size decrease, resulting in the deterioration of the pore structure and reservoir quality;(iii) mixed-cemented facies, in which the cementation of various authigenic minerals increases the micropores, resulting in a poor pore structure and reservoir quality;(iv) carbonate-cemented facies and(v) tightly compacted facies, in which the intergranular pores are filled with carbonate cement and ductile grains;thus, the pore network mainly consists of micropores with small pore throat sizes, and the pore structure and reservoir quality are the worst. The grain-coating facies with the best reservoir properties are more likely to have high gas productivity and are the primary targets for exploration and development. The diagenetic facies were then translated into wireline log expressions(conventional and NMR logging). Finally, a wireline log quantitative prediction model of TGSs using convolutional neural network machine learning algorithms was established to successfully classify the different diagenetic facies.展开更多

Recent study has investigated how ML and DL approaches may be used to increase the accuracy of vagina tests. In this piece, we conducted a thorough review of 50 research studies that applied these techniques. Our investigation compared the outcomes to well-known screening techniques and concentrated on the datasets used and performance measurements reported. According to the research, convolutional neural networks and other deep learning approaches have potential for lowering false positives and boosting screening precision. Although several research used small sample sizes or constrained datasets, this raises questions about how applicable the findings are. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the articles that were chosen, as well as prospective topics for future research, to further the application of ml and dl in cervical cancer screening. The development of cervical cancer screening technologies that are more precise, accessible, and can lead to better public health outcomes is significantly affected by these findings.展开更多

文摘Maintaining software once implemented on the end-user side is laborious and,over its lifetime,is most often considerably more expensive than the initial software development.The prediction of software maintainability lias emerged as an important research topic to address industry expectations for reducing costs,in particular,maintenance costs.Researchers and practitioners have been working on proposing and identifying a variety of techniques ranging from statistical to machine learning(ML)for better prediction of software maintainability.This review has been carried out to analyze the empirical evidence on the accuracy of software product maintainability prediction(SPMP)using ML techniques.This paper analyzes and discusses the findings of 77 selected studies published from 2000 to 2018 according to the following criteria:maintainability prediction techniques,validation methods,accuracy criteria,overall accuracy of ML techniques,and the techniques offering the best performance.The review process followed the well-known syslematic review process.The results show that ML techniques are frequently used in predicting maintainability.In particular,artificial neural network(ANN),support vector machine/regression(SVM/R).regression&decision trees(DT),and fuzzy neuro fuzzy(FNF)techniques are more accurate in terms of PRED and MMRE.The N-fold and leave-one-out cross-validation methods,and the MMRE and PRED accuracy criteria are frequently used in empirical studies.In general,ML techniques outperformed non-machine learning techniques,e.g.,regression analysis(RA)techniques,while FNF outperformed SVM/R.DT.and ANN in most experiments.However,while many techniques were reported superior,no specific one can be identified as the best.
文摘Landslide is considered as one of the most severe threats to human life and property in the hilly areas of the world.The number of landslides and the level of damage across the globe has been increasing over time.Therefore,landslide management is essential to maintain the natural and socio-economic dynamics of the hilly region.Rorachu river basin is one of the most landslide-prone areas of the Sikkim selected for the present study.The prime goal of the study is to prepare landslide susceptibility maps(LSMs)using computer-based advanced machine learning techniques and compare the performance of the models.To properly understand the existing spatial relation with the landslide,twenty factors,including triggering and causative factors,were selected.A deep learning algorithm viz.convolutional neural network model(CNN)and three popular machine learning techniques,i.e.,random forest model(RF),artificial neural network model(ANN),and bagging model,were employed to prepare the LSMs.Two separate datasets including training and validation were designed by randomly taken landslide and nonlandslide points.A ratio of 70:30 was considered for the selection of both training and validation points.Multicollinearity was assessed by tolerance and variance inflation factor,and the role of individual conditioning factors was estimated using information gain ratio.The result reveals that there is no severe multicollinearity among the landslide conditioning factors,and the triggering factor rainfall appeared as the leading cause of the landslide.Based on the final prediction values of each model,LSM was constructed and successfully portioned into five distinct classes,like very low,low,moderate,high,and very high susceptibility.The susceptibility class-wise distribution of landslides shows that more than 90%of the landslide area falls under higher landslide susceptibility grades.The precision of models was examined using the area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve and statistical methods like root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute error(MAE).In both datasets(training and validation),the CNN model achieved the maximum AUC value of 0.903 and 0.939,respectively.The lowest value of RMSE and MAE also reveals the better performance of the CNN model.So,it can be concluded that all the models have performed well,but the CNN model has outperformed the other models in terms of precision.

文摘The immediate international spread of severe acute respiratory syn-drome revealed the potential threat of infectious diseases in a closely integrated and interdependent world.When an outbreak occurs,each country must have a well-coordinated and preventative plan to address the situation.Information and Communication Technologies have provided innovative approaches to dealing with numerous facets of daily living.Although intelligent devices and applica-tions have become a vital part of our everyday lives,smart gadgets have also led to several physical and psychological health problems in modern society.Here,we used an artificial intelligence AI-based system for disease prediction using an Artificial Neural Network(ANN).The ANN improved the regularization of the classification model,hence increasing its accuracy.The unconstrained opti-mization model reduced the classifier’s cost function to obtain the lowest possible cost.To verify the performance of the intelligent system,we compared the out-comes of the suggested scheme with the results of previously proposed models.The proposed intelligent system achieved an accuracy of 0.89,and the miss rate 0.11 was higher than in previously proposed models.
文摘Forecasting travel demand requires a grasp of individual decision-making behavior.However,transport mode choice(TMC)is determined by personal and contextual factors that vary from person to person.Numerous characteristics have a substantial impact on travel behavior(TB),which makes it important to take into account while studying transport options.Traditional statistical techniques frequently presume linear correlations,but real-world data rarely follows these presumptions,which may make it harder to grasp the complex interactions.Thorough systematic review was conducted to examine how machine learning(ML)approaches might successfully capture nonlinear correlations that conventional methods may ignore to overcome such challenges.An in-depth analysis of discrete choice models(DCM)and several ML algorithms,datasets,model validation strategies,and tuning techniques employed in previous research is carried out in the present study.Besides,the current review also summarizes DCM and ML models to predict TMC and recognize the determinants of TB in an urban area for different transport modes.The two primary goals of our study are to establish the present conceptual frameworks for the factors influencing the TMC for daily activities and to pinpoint methodological issues and limitations in previous research.With a total of 39 studies,our findings shed important light on the significance of considering factors that influence the TMC.The adjusted kernel algorithms and hyperparameter-optimized ML algorithms outperform the typical ML algorithms.RF(random forest),SVM(support vector machine),ANN(artificial neural network),and interpretable ML algorithms are the most widely used ML algorithms for the prediction of TMC where RF achieved an R2 of 0.95 and SVM achieved an accuracy of 93.18%;however,the adjusted kernel enhanced the accuracy of SVM 99.81%which shows that the interpretable algorithms outperformed the typical algorithms.The sensitivity analysis indicates that the most significant parameters influencing TMC are the age,total trip time,and the number of drivers.
文摘Cervical cancer is a serious public health issue worldwide, and early identification is crucial for better patient outcomes. Recent study has investigated how ML and DL approaches may be used to increase the accuracy of vagina tests. In this piece, we conducted a thorough review of 50 research studies that applied these techniques. Our investigation compared the outcomes to well-known screening techniques and concentrated on the datasets used and performance measurements reported. According to the research, convolutional neural networks and other deep learning approaches have potential for lowering false positives and boosting screening precision. Although several research used small sample sizes or constrained datasets, this raises questions about how applicable the findings are. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the articles that were chosen, as well as prospective topics for future research, to further the application of ml and dl in cervical cancer screening. The development of cervical cancer screening technologies that are more precise, accessible, and can lead to better public health outcomes is significantly affected by these findings.

文摘The uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)of rock is an essential property of rock material in different relevant applications,such as rock slope,tunnel construction,and foundation.It takes enormous time and effort to obtain the UCS values directly in the laboratory.Accordingly,an indirect determination of UCS through conducting several rock index tests that are easy and fast to carry out is of interest and importance.This study presents powerful boosting trees evaluation framework,i.e.,adaptive boosting machine,extreme gradient boosting machine(XGBoost),and category gradient boosting machine,for estimating the UCS of sandstone.Schmidt hammer rebound number,P-wave velocity,and point load index were chosen as considered factors to forecast UCS values of sandstone samples.Taylor diagrams and five regression metrics,including coefficient of determination(R2),root mean square error,mean absolute error,variance account for,and A-20 index,were used to evaluate and compare the performance of these boosting trees.The results showed that the proposed boosting trees are able to provide a high level of prediction capacity for the prepared database.In particular,itwas worth noting that XGBoost is the best model to predict sandstone strength and it achieved 0.999 training R^(2) and 0.958 testing R^(2).The proposed model had more outstanding capability than neural network with optimization techniques during training and testing phases.The performed variable importance analysis reveals that the point load index has a significant influence on predicting UCS of sandstone.

文摘Complicated loads encountered by floating offshore wind turbines(FOWTs)in real sea conditions are crucial for future optimization of design,but obtaining data on them directly poses a challenge.To address this issue,we applied machine learning techniques to obtain hydrodynamic and aerodynamic loads of FOWTs by measuring platform motion responses and wave-elevation sequences.First,a computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation model of the floating platform was established based on the dynamic fluid body interaction technique and overset grid technology.Then,a long short-term memory(LSTM)neural network model was constructed and trained to learn the nonlinear relationship between the waves,platform-motion inputs,and hydrodynamic-load outputs.The optimal model was determined after analyzing the sensitivity of parameters such as sample characteristics,network layers,and neuron numbers.Subsequently,the effectiveness of the hydrodynamic load model was validated under different simulation conditions,and the aerodynamic load calculation was completed based on the D'Alembert principle.Finally,we built a hybrid-scale FOWT model,based on the software in the loop strategy,in which the wind turbine was replaced by an actuation system.Model tests were carried out in a wave basin and the results demonstrated that the root mean square errors of the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic load measurements were 4.20%and 10.68%,respectively.
文摘Difficulty in communicating and interacting with other people are mainly due to the neurological disorder called autism spectrum disorder(ASD)diseases.These diseases can affect the nerves at any stage of the human being in childhood,adolescence,and adulthood.ASD is known as a behavioral disease due to the appearances of symptoms over thefirst two years that continue until adulthood.Most of the studies prove that the early detection of ASD helps improve the behavioral characteristics of patients with ASD.The detection of ASD is a very challenging task among various researchers.Machine learning(ML)algorithms still act very intelligent by learning the complex data and pre-dicting quality results.In this paper,ensemble ML techniques for the early detec-tion of ASD are proposed.In this detection,the dataset isfirst processed using three ML algorithms such as sequential minimal optimization with support vector machine,Kohonen self-organizing neural network,and random forest algorithm.The prediction results of these ML algorithms(ensemble)further use the bagging concept called max voting to predict thefinal result.The accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity of the proposed system are calculated using confusion matrix.The pro-posed ensemble technique performs better than state-of-the art ML algorithms.

文摘In the Tano River Basin,groundwater serves as a crucial resource;however,its quantity and quality with regard to trace elements and microbiological loadings remain poorly understood due to the lack of groundwater logs and limited water research.This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the Tano River Basin,focusing on three key objectives.First,it investigated the aquifer hydraulic parameters and the results showed significant spatial variations in borehole depths,yields,transmissivity,hydraulic conductivity,and specific capacity.Deeper boreholes were concentrated in the northeastern and southeastern zones,while geological formations,particu-larly the Apollonian Formation,exhibit a strong influence on borehole yields.The study identified areas with high transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity in the southern and eastern regions,suggesting good groundwater avail-ability and suitability for sustainable water supply.Sec-ondly,the research investigated the groundwater quality and observed that the majority of borehole samples fall within WHO(Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality,Environmental Health Criteria,Geneva,2011,2017.http://www.who.int)limit.However,some samples have pH levels below the standards,although the groundwater generally qualifies as freshwater.The study further explores hydrochemical facies and health risk assessment,highlighting the dominance of Ca–HCO3 water type.Trace element analysis reveals minimal health risks from most elements,with chromium(Cr)as the primary contributor to chronic health risk.Overall,this study has provided a key insights into the Tano River Basin’s hydrogeology and associated health risks.The outcome of this research has contributed to the broader understanding of hydrogeologi-cal dynamics and the importance of managing groundwater resources sustainably in complex geological environments.
