For the analysis of the magnetic flux leakage detection data in pipelines, a single information source data analysis method is used to determine the pipeline characteristics with uncertainty. A multi-source information fusion data analysis technology is proposed. This paper makes full use of the information collected by the multi-source sensors of the magnetic leakage internal detector, and adopts distributed and centralized multi-source information fusion analysis technology. First, pre-analyze and judge the information data of the auxiliary sensors (speed, pressure, temperature) of the internal magnetic flux leakage detector. Then, the data of the main sensor, ID / OD sensor, axial mileage sensor, and circumferential clock sensor of the magnetic flux leakage detector are analyzed separately. Finally, the RBF neural network + least squares support vector machine (LSSVM)fusion analysis technology is adopted to realize the fusion analysis of multi-source information. The results show that this method can effectively improve the quality and reliability of data analysis compared with traditional single information source data analysis.

In the big data environment, the visualization technique has been increasingly adopted to mine the data on library and information (L&I), with the diversification of data sources and the growth of data volume. However, there are several defects with the research on information association of L&I visualization network: the lack of optimization of network layout algorithms, and the absence of L&I information fusion and comparison in multiple disciplines, in the big data environment. To overcome these defects, this paper explores the visualization of L&I from the perspective of big data analysis and fusion. Firstly, the authors analyzed the topology of the L&I visualization network, and calculated the metrics for the construction of L&I visualization topology map. Next, the importance of meta-paths of the L&I visualization network was calculated. Finally, a complex big data L&I visualization network was established, and the associations between information nodes were analyzed in details. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm

Introduction: Recently, with the surge in the availability of relevant data in various industries, the use of Information Fusion technique for data analysis is increasing. This method has several advantages, such as increased accuracy, and the use of meaningful information. In addition, there are certain challenges, including the impact of data type and analytical method on results. The goal of this study is to propose a framework for introducing the advantages and classifying the challenges of this technique. Method: We conducted a review of articles published between January 1960 and December 2017 for the design stage and from January 2018 to December 2018 for the evaluation stage. Articles were identified from various databases such as Science Direct, IEEE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using the keywords decision fusion, information fusion, and symbolic fusion. We report the advantages and challenges of the methodologies described in these articles. Analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Results: A total of 132 articles were identified in the design stage and 90 articles were identified in the evaluation stage. Categories within the framework for challenges include “hardware and software requirements for processing and maintaining the process”, “data” and “data analysis method”. The categories for advantages include “value modeling”, “preferable management of uncertainty and variability”, “excellent decision making”, “comprehensive interpretation and representation”, “data management” and “simplicity of infrastructure”. Our results indicate using these two frameworks with 95% Confidence interval. Conclusion: An overall understanding of the advantages and challenges of the information fusion technique could act as a guide for the researcher for the correct usage of this technique.

It is well established that unique physiological information can be obtained by rapidly freezing cells in various functional states and analyzing the cell element content and distribution by electron probe x-ray microanalysis. (The other techniques of microanalysis that are amenable to imaging, such as electron energy loss spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, particle induced x-ray emission etc., are not addressed in this tutorial.) However, the usual processes of data acquisition are labor intensive and lengthy, requiring that x-ray counts be collected from individually selected regions of each cell in question and that data analysis be performed subsequent to data collection. A judicious combination of quantitative elemental maps and static raster probes adds not only an additional overall perception of what is occurring during a particular biological manipulation or event, but substantially increases data productivity. Recent advances in microcomputer instrumentation and software have made readily feasible the acquisition and processing of digital quantitative x-ray maps of one to several cells.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of special education practitioners (i.e., speech-language pathologists, special educators, para-educators, and other related service providers) on their role as communication partners after participation in the Social Communication and Engagement Triad (Buckley et al., 2015 ) yearlong professional learning program. Method A qualitative approach using interviews and purposeful sampling was used. A total of 22 participants who completed participation in either Year 1 or Year 2 of the program were interviewed. Participants were speech-language pathologists, special educators, para-educators, and other related service providers. Using a grounded theory approach (Glaser & Strauss, 1967 ) to data analysis, open, axial, and selective coding procedures were followed. Results Three themes emerged from the data analysis and included engagement as the goal, role as a communication partner, and importance of collaboration. Conclusions Findings supported the notion that educators see the value of an integrative approach to service delivery, supporting students' social communication and engagement across the school day but also recognizing the challenges they face in making this a reality.
