Impacts of slip and mass transpiration on Newtonian liquid flow over a porous stretching sheet

This article focuses on analytic solutions for Newtonian fluid flow with slip and mass transpiration on a porous stretching sheet using the differential transform method and Pade approximants of an exceptionally nonlinear differential equation. The impacts of different parameters including mass transpiration (suction/injection), Navier's slip, and Darcy number parameters on the velocity of the liquid and tangential stress are discussed. A comprehensive comparison of our results with the previous one in the literature is made, and the results showed good agreement. An investigation is conducted of a combination of magnetic liquids that are conceivably pertinent for wound medicines, skin repair, and astute coatings for natural gadgets. It is found that there is a decrease in the velocity profiles and the boundary layer thickness for the case of suction.     

Deterministic and probabilistic ship pitch prediction using a multi-predictor integration model based on hybrid data preprocessing,reinforcement learning and improved QRNN

The deterministic and probabilistic prediction of ship motion is important for safe navigation and stable real-time operational control of ships at sea. However, the volatility and randomness of ship motion, the non-adaptive nature of single predictors and the poor coverage of quantile regression pose serious challenges to uncertainty prediction, making research in this field limited. In this paper, a multi-predictor integration model based on hybrid data preprocessing, reinforcement learning and improved quantile regression neural network (QRNN) is proposed to explore the deterministic and probabilistic prediction of ship pitch motion. To validate the performance of the proposed multi-predictor integrated prediction model, an experimental study is conducted with three sets of actual ship longitudinal motions during sea trials in the South China Sea. The experimental results indicate that the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the proposed model of deterministic prediction are 0.0254°, 0.0359°, and 0.0188°, respectively. Taking series #2 as an example, the prediction interval coverage probabilities (PICPs) of the proposed model of probability predictions at 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence levels (CLs) are 0.9400, 0.9800, and 1.0000, respectively. This study signifies that the proposed model can provide trusted deterministic predictions and can effectively quantify the uncertainty of ship pitch motion, which has the potential to provide practical support for ship early warning systems.     

A new signal processing-based islanding detection method using pyramidal algorithm with undecimated wavelet transform for distributed generators of hydrogen energy

Machine learning-based fault detection methods are frequently combined with wavelet transform (WT) to detect an unintentional islanding condition. In contrast to this condition, these methods have long detection and computation time. Thus, selecting a useful signal processing-based approach is required for reliable islanding detection, especially in real-time applications. This paper presents a new modified signal processing-based islanding detection method (IDM) for real-time applications of hydrogen energy-based distributed generators. In the study, a new IDM using a modified pyramidal algorithm approach with an undecimated wavelet transform (UWT) is presented. The proposed method is performed with different grid conditions with the presence of electric noise in real-time. Experimental results show that oscillations in the acquired signal can be reduced by the UWT, and noise sensitivity is lower than other WT-based methods. The non-detection zone is zero and the maximum detection and computational time is also 75 ms at a close power match.

No-reference quality assessment of dynamic sports videos based on a spatiotemporal motion model

This paper proposes an approach to improve the performance of no-reference video quality assessment for sports videos with dynamic motion scenes using an efficient spatiotemporal model. In the proposed method, we divide the video sequences into video blocks and apply a 3D shearlet transform that can efficiently extract primary spatiotemporal features to capture dynamic natural motion scene statistics from the incoming video blocks. The concatenation of a deep residual bidirectional gated recurrent neural network and logistic regression is used to learn the spatiotemporal correlation more robustly and predict the perceptual quality score. In addition, conditional video block-wise constraints are incorporated into the objective function to improve quality estimation performance for the entire video. The experimental results show that the proposed method extracts spatiotemporal motion information more effectively and predicts the video quality with higher accuracy than the conventional no-reference video quality assessment methods.

提出一种基于希尔伯特—黄变换(HHT)—线性判别分析(LDA)的枸杞产地电子舌辨识方法。以宁夏、新疆、甘肃、青海4个产地的枸杞为试验材料,采用伏安电子舌采集不同产地枸杞的"指纹图谱"信息,利用集合经验模态分解(EEMD)对电子舌原始信号进行多尺度分解得到一组本征模态函数(IMF),分别求取其奇异谱熵和Hilbert边际谱作为特征向量。在该基础上,利用LDA建立枸杞产地非线性组合预测模型。试验结果表明,HHTLDA与分别采用特征点提取(FPE)、主成分分析(PCA)和离散小波变换(DWT)的算法相比,具有更好的分类效果。对未知产地枸杞的总体分类精度和kappa系数分别达到98%和0.973,均表明该模型具有较好的鉴别效果。     

基于小波变换的分数阶微分算法在肝脏肿瘤CT图像纹理增强中的应用

图像纹理增强过程中容易丢失平滑区域纹理细节，而分数阶微分增强虽然能够非线性保留平滑区域纹理细节，但对频率分辨率敏感。针对这个问题，提出一种基于小波变换的分数阶微分纹理增强算法，应用于平扫计算机断层扫描（CT）图像的肝脏肿瘤区域的纹理增强。首先，通过小波变换将图像感兴趣区分解成多个子带分量；其次，基于分数阶微分定义构造一个带补偿参数的分数阶微分掩膜；最后，使用该掩膜与每个高频子带分量进行卷积并利用小波逆变换重组图像感兴趣区。实验结果表明，该方法在使用较大分数阶次显著增强肿瘤区域的高频轮廓信息的同时，有效地保留了低频平滑的纹理细节：增强后的肝细胞癌区域与原区域相比，信息熵平均增加36.56%，平均梯度平均增加321.56%，平均绝对差值平均为9.287；增强后的肝血管瘤区域与原区域相比，信息熵平均增加48.77%，平均梯度平均增加511.26%，平均绝对差值平均为14.097。     

基于Shearlet变换的自适应地震资料随机噪声压制

传统的阈值选取方法是对所有变换域系数使用统一阈值，但对Shearlet变换而言，各尺度、各方向的有效信号和噪声均存在差异，因此全局硬阈值存在一定局限性；局部阈值可根据一定范围内的系数分布情况确定。针对地震数据去噪过程中传统阈值选取方法的局限性，通过改进自适应阈值函数压制随机噪声，在局部阈值的基础上改进贝叶斯阈值，形成一种适用于Shearlet变换的自适应阈值函数。具体做法为：将信噪比与阈值函数有机关联，并将信噪比作为阈值设定的因素，即不同的信噪比的权值系数不同，可以自适应求取不同尺度阈值，从而最大限度地改善去噪效果，避免有效信号损失，实现自适应去噪。模型试算与实际资料去噪效果表明，在保证有效信号不受损失的情况下，所提方法可恢复被噪声掩盖的弱信号，有效改善去噪效果。

Synchroextracting chirplet transform for accurate IF estimate and perfect signal reconstruction

Synchroextracting transform (SET) is a recently developed time-frequency analysis (TFA) method aiming to achieve a highly concentrated TF representation. However, SET suffers from two drawbacks. The one is that SET is based upon the assumption of constant amplitude and linear frequency modulation signals, therefore it is unsatisfactory for strongly amplitude-modulated and frequency-modulated (AM-FM) signals. The other is that SET does not allow for perfect signal reconstruction, which leads to large reconstruction errors when addressing fast-varying signals. To tackle these problems, in this paper, we first present some theoretical analysis for the SET method, including the existence of the fixed squeeze frequency, the performances of the instantaneous frequency (IF) estimator and the SET reconstruction. Then, a new TFA method, named synchroextracting chirplet transform (SECT), is proposed, which sharpens the TF representation by extracting the TF points satisfying IF equation, and retains an excellent signal reconstruction ability. Numerical experiments on simulated and real signals demonstrate the effectiveness of the SECT method.
