Serial and parallel processes in working memory after practice.

Six young adults practiced for 36 sessions on a working-memory updating task in which 2 digits and 2 spatial positions were continuously updated. Participants either did 1 updating operation at a time, or attempted 1 numerical and 1 spatial operation at the same time. In contrast to previous research using the same paradigm with a single digit and a single dot, dual-task costs were not eliminated with practice. Costs of switching between digits and between spatial positions were found throughout practice, supporting the existence of a focus of attention in working memory that can hold 1 digit and 1 spatial position simultaneously, but is not expanded to hold 2 elements of the same kind. The results can be understood by assuming that observed limits on parallel processing, as well as on the capacity of the focus of attention, arise not from structural constraints but rather reflect the optimal configuration of the cognitive system for avoiding information cross-talk in a given task.

Thinking outside the body: An advantage for spatial updating during imagined versus physical self-rotation.

Three studies examined effects of different response measures on spatial updating during self-rotation. In Experiment 1, participants located objects in an array with a pointer after physical self-rotation, imagined self-rotation, and a rotation condition in which they ignored superfluous sensorimotor signals. In line with previous research, updating performance was found to be superior in the physical self-rotation condition compared with the other 2. In Experiment 2, participants performed in identical rotation movement conditions but located objects by verbal labeling rather than pointing. Within the verbal modality, an advantage for updating during imagined self-rotation was found. In Experiment 3, participants performed physical and imagined self-rotations only and used a pointing response offset from their physical reference frames. Performance was again superior during imagined self-rotations. The results suggest that it is not language processing per se that improves updating performance but rather a general reduction of the conflict between physical and projected egocentric reference frames.

Online dual updating with recursive PLS model and its application in predicting crystal size of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) process

To improve the performance of online prediction of existing soft sensor models, we propose a dual updating strategy, i.e., integrating the methods of recursive partial least square (RPLS) model updating and the model output offset updating. In online applications, each update is activated rotationally. In this strategy, a new recursive PLS method is developed and implemented by updating the mean and variance of the training samples using the data acquired from the process, while the offset updating method takes into account both the old overall offset and the new bias between the actual measurement and the model prediction. Since the dual updating strategy takes the advantages of the two updating methods, it is more effective than any individual updating method in adapting process changes. The high performance of the strategy is demonstrated by the application of an industrial purified terephthalic acid (PTA) purification process in which prediction of average crystal particle size was within 2.5% with regard to the relative root mean square error (RMSE). In addition, the dynamic PLS method was found inferior to any of the three methods mentioned above, at least for this particular industrial application. The present dual updating method may also be extended to other industrial applications using process models outside PLS.

Model selection in finite element model updating using the Bayesian evidence statistic

This paper considers the problem of finite element model (FEM) updating in the context of model selection. The FEM updating problem arises from the need to update the initial FE model that does not match the measured real system outputs. This inverse system identification-problem is made even more complex by the uncertainties in modeling some of the structural parameters. Such uncertainty often results in a number of competing forms of FE models being proposed which leads to lack of consensus in the field. A model can be formulated in a number of ways; by the number, the location and the form of the updating parameters. We propose the use of a Bayesian evidence statistic to help decide on the best model from any given set of models. This statistic uses the recently developed stochastic nested sampling algorithm whose by-product is the posterior samples of the updated model parameters. Two examples of real structures are each modeled by a number of competing finite element models. The individual model evidences are compared using the Bayes factor, which is the ratio of evidences. Jeffrey's scale is then used to determine the significance of the model differences obtained through the Bayes factor.     

A Specialised Element for Finite Element Model Updating of Moveable Joints

Multibody system dynamics is a vast area of study that mayoften involve the need to know the vibration behaviour of rigid/flexiblesystems with configurations that change with time due to the existenceof moveable joints. This paper introduces and discusses the motivationbehind the development of a technique, based on a modified springelement, to model the dynamic behaviour of such moveable joints. Thistype of joint generally connects the constituent components ofmechanical systems. The modified element is used to establish linksbetween nodes inside the joint volume, for an arbitrary jointconfiguration, without the need to introduce any distortions in thefinite element mesh pertaining to the connected components. Itintroduces two parameters ideally suited for model updating, a geometryindependent parameter that defines global link stiffness and a geometrydependent one that gives a measure of link effectiveness as a functionof joint configuration. The element usage and a comparison of resultsobtained with a model using standard elements for selectedconfigurations are illustrated by means of an example.     

Bayesian time–domain approach for modal updating using ambient data

The problem of identification of the modal parameters of a structural model using measured ambient response time histories is addressed. A Bayesian time–domain approach for modal updating is presented which is based on an approximation of a conditional probability expansion of the response. It allows one to obtain not only the optimal values of the updated modal parameters but also their associated uncertainties, calculated from their joint probability distribution. Calculation of the uncertainties of the identified modal parameters is very important if one plans to proceed in a subsequent step with the updating of a theoretical finite-element model based on modal estimates. The proposed approach requires only one set of response data. It is found that the updated PDF can be well approximated by a Gaussian distribution centered at the optimal parameters at which the updated PDF is maximized. Examples using simulated data are presented to illustrate the proposed method.
