A novel methodology for online detection of bearing health status for naturally progressing defect

A methodology is proposed for the online detection of health status of rolling element bearing into various damage stages for naturally progressing defect. Various damage identification parameters are derived from processing vibration data in time domain, frequency domain and time–frequency domain. The parameters are fused into a single parameter, Mahalanobis distance, by application of Gram–Schmidt Orthogonalization process. Chebyshev?s inequality is applied to the Mahalanobis distance for online monitoring and damage stage detection. A simulation study is first carried out to show working of the proposed methodology in presence of varying trends of damage identification parameters. The proposed methodology is then validated on experimental data. The first validation is on the vibration data acquired from a bearing having seeded defect. Later, two accelerated life tests are conducted on a specially designed test rig at different load and speed combinations on the bearings for ensuring naturally induced and progressed defects. The methodology is successfully verified on the vibration data acquired from the naturally induced and progressed defect experiments.     

Generalized Hermitian Algebras

We refer to the real Jordan Banach algebra of bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space as a Hermitian algebra. In this paper we define and launch a study of a class of generalized Hermitian (GH) algebras. Among the examples of GH-algebras are ordered special Jordan algebras, JW-algebras, and AJW-algebras, but unlike these more restricted cases, a GH-algebra is not necessarily a Banach space and its lattice of projections is not necessarily complete. In this paper we develop the basic theory of GH-algebras, identify their unit intervals as effect algebras, and observe that their projection lattices are sigma-complete orthomodular lattices. We show that GH-algebras are spectral order-unit spaces and that they admit a substantial spectral theory.

用紫外-可见分光光度计的短波近红外光谱区域（800—1100nm）,测量了3种二糖麦芽糖、乳糖和蔗糖混合水溶液的近红外光谱,并用偏最小二乘方法建立了同时定量分析水溶液中麦芽糖、乳糖和蔗糖的模型,并对光谱数据预处理方法进行了讨论。通过对校正集样品的建模和对预测集样品的检验,结果良好。对浓度范围分别在0—60mg·L^-1,0—12mg·L^-1,0—60mg·L^-1的麦芽糖、乳糖和蔗糖预测模型相关系数分别为0.9904、0.9971和0.9926,模型交叉检验均方差分别为0.0213、0.2525和0.1859。预测集相对标准偏差分别为3.54%、3.55%和3.32%。并将此模型应用在简单成份的实际样品中进行了初步探索。该方法对同时定量分析多组分体系,具有简便、快速价廉、易于推广应用等优点。     

Structure of liquid-vapor interface of square well fluid confined in a cylindrical pore

By means of the canonical Monte Carlo simulations, the vapor-liquid (VL) equilibrium and structure of square well (SW) fluids confined in a single cylindrical pore with repulsive surface, have been studied. Coexistence curves of the confined VL interface are determined for a wide range of temperatures and pore diameters. It is demonstrated that the confinement not only reduces the VL coexistence region but also induces strong inhomogeneities of the VL interface: coexistence liquid densities are different at the pore center and at the wall surface. It may be considered as a preliminary step for an isolated droplet formation inside the pore, as well as a tentative reason of the two VL phase transitions of simple fluids adsorbed into disordered porous media.     

Mean reversion in the current account of forty-eight african countries: Evidence from the Panel SURADF test

Here, the Panel seemingly unrelated regressions augmented Dickey-Fuller test (SURADF) test, first introduced and advanced by Breuer et al. [Misleading inferences from panel unit-root tests with an illustration from purchasing power parity, Rev. Int. Econ. 9(3) (2001) 482-493], is used to investigate the mean-reverting behavior of the current account of 48 African countries during the 1980-2004 periods. The empirical results from numerous panel-based unit root tests, conducted earlier, indicated that the current account of each of these countries is stationary; however, when Breuer et al.'s (2001) Panel SURADF test is conducted, it is found that a unit root exists in the current account of 11 of the countries studied. These results have one extremely important policy implication for the 48 African countries studied: the current account deficit of most is sustainable, and thus signifying that those nations should have no incentive to default on their international debt.     

基于椭圆对数极坐标变换的尺度变化目标跟踪算法

针对传统对数极坐标变换局限于跟踪圆形或类圆形尺度变化目标这一问题,提出一种基于椭圆对数极坐标变换域下目标匹配的尺度变化目标跟踪算法。算法利用Mean Shift进行空间定位,确定目标的形心,通过椭圆对数极坐标变换域中目标和候选的最大相关匹配系数来确定目标的尺度参数。实验结果表明：该文算法在目标小形变和光照变化条件下,跟踪误差较小,尺度跟踪准确率更高,具有较好的鲁棒性。     

基于经验模态分解的SO_2浓度检测信号处理方法

荧光法测量SO2浓度是大气监测中常用的检测手段.双光路技术可以消除光源和光路的噪音干扰,但光电转换器件在激发光照射下产生的背景噪音也会影响定量分析的准确度.本文采用经验模态分解滤波算法降低检测中存在的各种噪音,在实现有效降噪的基础上较好地保存了有用的原始信号.仿真结果表明,针对SO2浓度检测系统,利用经验模态分解去噪后信号的信噪比达到204.273 6,均方误差为0.007 0.与小波去噪法相比,经验模态分解检测效果更佳.最后将经两组不同方法处理后的信号应用于气体检测系统中,实验数据的线性关系更好地验证了经验模态分解方法应用到浓度检测系统的可行性.     

血细胞压积与平均血红蛋白浓度的可见-近红外光谱无创检测

血细胞压积和平均血红蛋白浓度的检测对于心脑血管疾病以及贫血等疾病的预防和治疗起着非常重要的作用,为了能够无创、准确的对血细胞压积和平均血红蛋白浓度进行检测,本研究提出了一种基于光谱技术的检测方法。经解剖学研究表明,在微循环中,血流变的异常以及血液粘稠度的改变均能引起舌象的变化,即舌象和血液成分之间存在一定的相关性,所以本研究通过采集240例志愿者舌尖反射光谱,同时拍摄志愿者舌体图片和记录生化分析结果。在进行数学建模前,首先将240例志愿者随机分为校正集和验证集,运用偏最小二乘分别建立数学模型,校正集预测值和生化分析真实值之间相关系数分别为0.998和0.938,运用所建数学模型对验证集未知样本进行预测,验证集未知样本的预测结果与生化分析真实值之间相关系数分别为0.979和0.883,平均相对误差分别为1.65%和1.88%,均方根误差分别为4.066和4.139,由实验结果可见,所建立的模型可以较好的对HCT和MCHC进行预测,同时实验结果也表明近红外光谱分析结合偏最小二乘方法有可能能够为血细胞压积和平均血红蛋白浓度的检测提供一种无创的检测方法。     

Harmonic Force Fields and Mean Amplitudes for Aluminum Trifluoride Monomer and Dimber

Recently, in this Journal, J. D. Macomber¹ has inquired into the mechanisms by which a signal is produced in a crossed-coil NMR spectrometer, His reflections led him to question the conventional explanation and to propose in its place a novel and more subtle one. The claim is made that the crossed-coil instrument is unique in its performance of a special form of emission spectroscopy-the detection of coherent spontaneous radiation (superradiance).² It is important to question fundamentals; however, we must disagree with the author's conclusions.
