Heavy mechanical devices of complex industrial process produce soundly mechanical vibration and acoustical signals. Some difficult-to-measure key process parameters have direct relationship with these signals. A newly ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Mutual information (MI), and Kernel partial least squares (KPLS) based modeling approach is proposed to measure these process parameters. At first, different scale intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of mechanical vibration and acoustical signals are obtained using EEMD technology. Then, FFT transforms these multi-scale IMFs into frequency domain, and MI based feature selection method selects interesting frequency spectral features. Finally, KPLS constructs the final soft sensor models using the selected features. Experimental results based on vibration and acoustical signals of ball mill demonstrate this approach is more effective than other exist multi-scale decomposition based methods.

This study offers an efficient hardness identification approach to address the problem of poor real-time performance and accuracy in coal and rock hardness detection. To begin, Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) was performed on the current signal of the cutting motor to obtain a number of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). Further, the target signal was selected among the IMFs to reconstruct the current signal according to the energy density and correlation coefficient criteria. After that, the Multi-scale Permutation Entropy (MPE) of the reconstructed signal was trained by the Adaboost improved Back Propagation (BP) neural network, in order to establish the hardness recognition model. Finally, the cutting arm’s swing speed and the cutting head’s rotation speed were adjusted based on the coal and rock hardness. The simulation results indicated that using the energy density and correlation criterion to reconstruct the signal can successfully filter out noise interference. Compared to the BP model, the relative root-mean-square error of the Adaboost-BP model decreased by 0.0633, and the prediction results were more accurate. Additionally, the speed control strategy based on coal and rock hardness can ensure the efficient cutting of the roadheader.

For the inherent characteristics of a raw streamflow times series and the complicated relationship between multi-scale predictors and streamflow, monthly streamflow forecasting is very difficult. In this paper, an method was proposed integrating the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) with deep belief networks (DBN) for forecasting monthly streamflow time series, which is EEMD-Lasso-DBN (ELD) method. To develop the ELD model, the raw streamflow time series was resolved into different elements, including intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residue series, using the EEMD technique. The predictors of each IMF element and residue were screened using the Lasso technique from a large number of candidate predictors, respectively. Then, the DBN models were built to simulate the complex relationship between the resolved elements and the selected predictors, respectively. The predicted results of the IMFs and residual series were assembled as an ensemble forecast for the raw streamflow time series and were compared with the other models. The monthly streamflow series from Tennessee, in the USA, were investigated using the ELD method. It was found that each IMF has different characteristics and physical meaning, corresponding to different predictors. The proposed ELD model can significantly improve the accuracy of monthly streamflow forecasting.

The randomness, nonstationarity and irregularity of air pollutant data bring difficulties to forecasting. To improve the forecast accuracy, we propose a novel hybrid approach based on two-stage decomposition embedded sample entropy, group teaching optimization algorithm (GTOA), and extreme learning machine (ELM) to forecast the concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). First, the improvement complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN) is employed to decompose the concentration data of PM10 and PM2.5 into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with different frequencies. In addition, wavelet transform (WT) is utilized to decompose the IMFs with high frequency based on sample entropy values. Then the GTOA algorithm is used to optimize ELM. Furthermore, the GTOA-ELM is utilized to predict all the subseries. The final forecast result is obtained by ensemble of the forecast results of all subseries. To further prove the predictable performance of the hybrid approach on air pollutants, the hourly concentration data of PM2.5 and PM10 are used to make one-step-, two-step- and three-step-ahead predictions. The empirical results demonstrate that the hybrid ICEEMDAN-WT-GTOA-ELM approach has superior forecasting performance and stability over other methods. This novel method also provides an effective and efficient approach to make predictions for nonlinear, nonstationary and irregular data.

Abstract. In the last few years, wind power forecasting has established itself as an essential tool in the energy industry due to the increase of wind power penetration in the electric grid. This paper presents a wind power forecasting method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and deep learning. EEMD is employed to decompose wind power time series data into several intrinsic mode functions and a residual component. Afterwards, every intrinsic mode function is trained by means of a CNN-LSTM architecture. Finally, wind power forecast is obtained by adding the prediction of every component. Compared to the benchmark model, the proposed approach provides more accurate predictions for several time horizons. Furthermore, prediction intervals are modelled using quantile regression.

This paper presents a novel fault diagnosis method for analog circuits using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), relative entropy, and extreme learning machine (ELM). First, nominal and faulty response waveforms of a circuit are measured, respectively, and then are decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with the EEMD method. Second, through comparing the nominal IMFs with the faulty IMFs, kurtosis and relative entropy are calculated for each IMF. Next, a feature vector is obtained for each faulty circuit. Finally, an ELM classifier is trained with these feature vectors for fault diagnosis. Via validating with two benchmark circuits, results show that the proposed method is applicable for analog fault diagnosis with acceptable levels of accuracy and time cost.

Several data-driven and hybrid models are univariate and not considered the dependance structure of multivariate random variables, especially the multi-site river inflow data, which requires the joint distribution of the same river basin system. In this paper, we proposed a Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) Vine copula-based approach to address this issue. The proposed hybrid model comprised on two stages: In the first stage, the CEEMDAN is used to extract the high dimensional multi-scale features. Further, the multiple models are used to predict multi-scale components and residuals. In the second stage, the residuals obtained from the first stage are used to model the joint uncertainty of multi-site river inflow data by using Canonical Vine. For the application of the proposed two-step architecture, daily river inflow data of the Indus River Basin is used. The proposed two-stage methodology is compared with only the first stage proposed model, Vector Autoregressive and copula-based Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average models. The four evaluation measures, that is, Mean Absolute Relative Error (MARE), Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and Mean Square Error (MSE), are used to observe the prediction performance. The results demonstrated that the proposed model outperforms significantly with minimum MARE, MAD, NSE, and MSE for two case studies having significant joint dependance. Therefore, it is concluded that the prediction can be improved by appropriately modeling the dependance structure of the multi-site river inflow data.

Abstract Micro/nano scale structure as important functional part have been widely used in wearable flexible sensors, gas sensors, biological tissue engineering, microfluidic chips super capacitors and so on. Here a multi-scale electrohydrodynamic jet (E-Jet) 3D printing approach regulated by structured multi-physics fields was demonstrated to generate 800 nm scale 2D geometries and high aspect ratio 3D structures. The simulation model of jetting process under resultant effect of top fluid field, middle electric field and bottom thermal field was established. And the physical mechanism and scale law of jet formation were studied. The effects of thermal field temperature, applied voltage and flow rate on the jet behaviors were studied; and the range of process parameters of stable jet was obtained. The regulation of printing parameters was used to manufacture the high resolution gradient graphics and the high aspect ratio structure with tight interlayer bonding. The structural features could be flexibly adjusted by reasonably matching the process parameters. Finally, PCL/PVP composite scaffolds with cell-scale fiber and ordered fiber spacing were printed. The proposed E-Jet printing method provides an alternative approach for the application of biopolymer materials in tissue engineering.

<p>Abstract</p><p>Most of the time series in nature are nonlinear and nonstationary affected by climate change particularly. It is inevitable that Taiwan has also experienced frequent drought events in recent years. However, drought events are natural disasters with no clear warnings and their influences are cumulative. The difficulty of detecting and analyzing the drought phenomenon remains. To deal with the above-mentioned problem, Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD) is introduced to analyze the temperature and rainfall data from 1975~2018 in this study, which is a powerful method developed for the time-frequency analysis of nonlinear, nonstationary time series. This method can not only analyze the spatial locality and temporal locality of signals but also decompose the multiple-dimensional time series into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). By the set of IMFs, the meaningful instantaneous frequency and the trend of the signals can be observed. Considering stochastic and deterministic influences, to enhance the accuracy this study also reconstruct IMFs into two components, stochastic and deterministic, by the coefficient of auto-correlation.</p><p>In this study, the influences of temperature and precipitation on the drought events will be discussed. Furthermore, to decrease the significant impact of drought events, this study also attempts to forecast the occurrences of drought events in the short-term via the Artificial Neural Network technique. And, based on the CMIP5 model, this study also investigates the trend and variability of drought events and warming in different climatic scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD), Intrinsic Mode Function(IMF), Drought</p>
