Project description:The detection of short exons is a challenging open problem in the field of bioinformatics. Due to the fact that the weakness of existing model-independent methods lies in their inability to reliably detect small exons, a model-independent method based on the singularity detection with wavelet transform modulus maxima has been developed for detecting short coding sequences (exons) in eukaryotic DNA sequences. In the analysis of our method, the local maxima can capture and characterize singularities of short exons, which helps to yield significant patterns that are rarely observed with the traditional methods. In order to get some information about singularities on the differences between the exon signal and the background noise, the noise level is estimated by filtering the genomic sequence through a notch filter. Meanwhile, a fast method based on a piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomial is applied to reconstruct the wavelet coefficients for improving the computational efficiency. In addition, the output measure of a paired-numerical representation calculated in both forward and reverse directions is used to incorporate a useful DNA structural property. The performances of our approach and other techniques are evaluated on two benchmark data sets. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms all assessed model-independent methods for detecting short exons in terms of evaluation metrics.

Project description:This paper proposes a methodology to process and interpret the complex signals acquired from the health monitoring of civil structures via scale-space empirical wavelet transform (EWT). The FREEVIB method, a widely used instantaneous modal parameters identification method, determines the structural characteristics from the individual components separated by EWT first. The scale-space EWT turns the detecting of the frequency boundaries into the scale-space representation of the Fourier spectrum. As well, to find meaningful modes becomes a clustering problem on the length of minima scale-space curves. The Otsu's algorithm is employed to determine the threshold for the clustering analysis. To retain the time-varying features, the EWT-extracted mono-components are analyzed by the FREEVIB method to obtain the instantaneous modal parameters and the linearity characteristics of the structures. Both simulated and real SHM signals from civil structures are used to validate the effectiveness of the present method. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology is capable of separating the signal components, even those closely spaced ones in frequency domain, with high accuracy, and extracting the structural features reliably.

Project description:The resonant frequency of the transformer contains information related to its structure. It is easier to identify the resonance frequency in the vibration signal during the hammer test and power on than in the operation of the transformer, because the vibration caused by the load current does not need to be considered during the hammer test and power on. Therefore, an analysis method with simple calculation, fast calculation speed and easy real-time monitoring is needed to deal with these two non-stationary vibrations. Vibration monitoring can understand the health status of transformer in real time, improve the reliability of power supply and give early warning in the early stage of faults. A new frequency domain segmentation method is proposed in this paper. This method can effectively process the vibration signal of transformer and identify its resonant frequency. Eleven different load states are set on the transformer. The method proposed in this paper can extract the resonant frequency of the transformer from the hammering test signal. Compared with the original empirical wavelet transform method, this method can divide the frequency domain more effectively, has higher time-frequency resolution, and the running time of the modified method is shortened from 80 to 2 s. The universality of this method is proved by experiments on three different types of transformers.

Project description:The wavelet transform (WT) has gained significant attention for its ability to identify damage details within strain modes. However, edge damage in structures often remains obscured and unrecognizable when WT is applied, primarily due to edge effects. Intelligent algorithms used to assess structural damage severity often face challenges such as premature convergence and a tendency to settle on local optima. To address these challenges, damage location is analyzed using WT with a fitting extension of the original vibration signal, effectively mitigating edge effects. Additionally, an immune-genetic algorithm, integrating genetic and immune algorithms, is employed to overcome limitations of traditional intelligent algorithms in damage severity identification. The two-stage method's effectiveness was validated through finite element simulations of fixed beam and frame structures, as well as vibration tests of fixed and cantilever beams, for locating and assessing edge damage. This method showed clear advantages, including precise damage characterization, noise robustness, and high sensitivity to edge damage.

Project description:Mounting evidence for the role of sleep spindles in neuroplasticity has led to an increased interest in these non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep oscillations. It has been hypothesized that fast and slow spindles might play a different role in memory processing. Here, we present a new sleep spindle detection algorithm utilizing a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and individual adjustment of slow and fast spindle frequency ranges. Eighteen nap recordings of ten subjects were used for algorithm validation. Our method was compared with both a human scorer and a commercially available SIESTA spindle detector. For the validation set, mean agreement between our detector and human scorer measured during sleep stage 2 using kappa coefficient was 0.45, whereas mean agreement between our detector and SIESTA algorithm was 0.62. Our algorithm was also applied to sleep-related memory consolidation data previously analyzed with a SIESTA detector and confirmed previous findings of significant correlation between spindle density and declarative memory consolidation. We then applied our method to a study in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins, examining the genetic component of slow and fast sleep spindle parameters. Our analysis revealed strong genetic influence on variance of all slow spindle parameters, weaker genetic effect on fast spindles, and no effects on fast spindle density and number during stage 2 sleep.

Project description:The non-contact monitoring of vital signs by radar has great prospects in clinical monitoring. However, the accuracy of separated respiratory and heartbeat signals has not satisfied the clinical limits of agreement. This paper presents a study for automated separation of respiratory and heartbeat signals based on empirical wavelet transform (EWT) for multiple people. The initial boundary of the EWT was set according to the limited prior information of vital signs. Using the initial boundary, empirical wavelets with a tight frame were constructed to adaptively separate the respiratory signal, the heartbeat signal and interference due to unconscious body movement. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the vital signs of three volunteers were simultaneously measured by a stepped-frequency continuous wave ultra-wideband (UWB) radar and contact physiological sensors. Compared with the vital signs from contact sensors, the proposed method can separate the respiratory and heartbeat signals among multiple people and obtain the precise rate that satisfies clinical monitoring requirements using a UWB radar. The detection errors of respiratory and heartbeat rates by the proposed method were within ±0.3 bpm and ±2 bpm, respectively, which are much smaller than those obtained by the bandpass filtering, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and wavelet transform (WT) methods. The proposed method is unsupervised and does not require reference signals. Moreover, the proposed method can obtain accurate respiratory and heartbeat signal rates even when the persons unconsciously move their bodies.

Project description:The collection and analysis of data play a critical role in detecting and diagnosing faults in bearings. However, the availability of large open-access rolling-element bearing datasets for fault diagnosis is limited. To overcome this challenge, the University of Ottawa Rolling-element Bearing Vibration and Acoustic Fault Signature Datasets Operating under Constant Load and Speed Conditions are introduced to provide supplementary data that can be combined or merged with existing bearing datasets to increase the amount of data available to researchers. This data utilizes various sensors such as an accelerometer, a microphone, a load cell, a hall effect sensor, and thermocouples to gather quality data on bearing health. By incorporating vibration and acoustic signals, the datasets enable both traditional and machine learning-based approaches for rolling-element bearing fault diagnosis. Furthermore, this dataset offers valuable insights into the accelerated deterioration of bearing life under constant loads, making it an invaluable resource for research in this domain. Ultimately, these datasets deliver high quality data for the detection and diagnosis of faults in rolling-element bearings, thereby holding significant implications for machinery operation and maintenance.

Project description:BackgroundIdentification of hot spots in protein-DNA binding interfaces is extremely important for understanding the underlying mechanisms of protein-DNA interactions and drug design. Since experimental methods for identifying hot spots are time-consuming and expensive, and most of the existing computational methods are based on traditional protein-DNA features to predict hot spots, unable to make full use of the effective information in the features.ResultsIn this work, a method named WTL-PDH is proposed for hot spots prediction. To deal with the unbalanced dataset, we used the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique to generate minority class samples to achieve the balance of dataset. First, we extracted the solvent accessible surface area features and structural features, and then processed the traditional features using discrete wavelet transform and wavelet packet transform to extract the wavelet energy information and wavelet entropy information, and obtained a total of 175 dimensional features. In order to obtain the best feature subset, we systematically evaluate these features in various feature selection strategies. Finally, light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) was used to establish the model.ConclusionsOur method achieved good results on independent test set with AUC, MCC and F1 scores of 0.838, 0.533 and 0.750, respectively. WTL-PDH can achieve generally better performance in predicting hot spots when compared with state-of-the-art methods. The dataset and source code are available at https://github.com/chase2555/WTL-PDH .

Project description:The dimension of the void area in pavement is crucial to its structural safety. However, there is no effective method to measure its geometric parameters. To address this issue, a void size extraction algorithm based on the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method was proposed using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) signal. Firstly, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method was used to investigate the GPR response of void areas with different shapes, sizes, and depths. Next, the GPR signal was processed using the CWT method, and a 3D image based on the CWT result was used to visualize the void area. Based on the differences between the void and normal pavement in the time and frequency domains, the signal with maximum energy from the CWT time-frequency result was extracted and combined to reconstruct the new B-scan image, where void areas have energy concentration phenomenon. Based on this, width and depth of void detection algorithm was proposed to recognize the void area. Finally, the detection algorithm was verified both in numerical model and physical lab model. The results indicated that the CWT time-frequency energy spectrum can be used to enhance the void feature, and the 3D CWT image can clearly visualize the void area with a highlighted energy area. After fully testing and validating in numerical and lab models, our proposed method achieved high accuracy in void width and depth detection, providing a precise method for estimating void dimension in pavement. This method can guide DOT departments to carry out pre-maintenance, thereby ensuring pavement safety.

Project description:To study the effects of gas hydrates on the prevention and control of coal and gas protrusions, this paper reports the results of acoustic emission experiments on coal bodies containing gas hydrates with different saturation levels. The results showed that few acoustic emission events were generated in the elasticity stages of coal bodies containing gas hydrates, and the first sudden increase in the number of ringing counts generally occurred before and after the yielding point. Additionally, the acoustic emission events in the yielding stage were more active, and the cumulative number of ringing counts increased faster. The peak ringing counts appeared around the damage point, and a small number of acoustic emission events were still generated after destruction of the coal samples. The cumulative ringing counts decreased linearly with increasing saturation. The effect of saturation on the cumulative ringing counts in the elasticity stage of the gas hydrate-containing coal samples was small, but the difference between the cumulative ringing counts in the yielding stage and those in the destruction stage was larger. The total cumulative ringing counts and the cumulative ringing counts during each stage for the gas hydrate-containing coal samples decreased with increasing enclosure pressure. The energy and amplitude of the loading process were consistent with the trend for the ringing counts. The acoustic emission ringing counts of gas-containing coals were greater than those of gas hydrate-containing coals in the yielding and destructing stages.
