Background: This study deals with some factors that influence the exposure of whole-body vibration (WBV) of dumper operators in surface mines. The study also highlights the approach to improve the multivariate linear analysis outcomes when collinearity exists between certain factor pairs. Material and Methods: A total number of 130 vibration readings was taken from two adjacent surface iron ore mines. The frequency-weighted RMS acceleration was used for the WBV exposure assessment of the dumper operators. The factors considered in this study are age, weight, seat backrest height, awkward posture, the machine age, load tonnage, dumper speed and haul road condition. Four machine learning models were explored through the empirical training-testing approach. Results: The bootstrap linear regression model was found to be the best model based on performance and predictability when compared to multiple linear regression, LASSO regression, and decision tree. Results revealed that multiple factors influence WBV exposure. The significant factors are: weight of operators (regression coefficient β=-0.005, p<0.001), awkward posture (β=0.033, p<0.001), load tonnage (β=-0.026, p<0.05), dumper speed (β=0.008, p<0.001) and poor haul road condition (β=0.015, p<0.001). Conclusion: The bootstrap linear regression model produced efficient results for the dataset which was characterized by collinearity. WBV exposure is multifactorial. Regular monitoring of WBV exposure and corrective actions through appropriate prevention programs including the ergonomic design of the seat would increase the health and safety of operators.

In this study, we analyze the number of infected positive cases of COVID-19 outbreak with concern to lockdown in India in the time window of February 11th 2020 to Jun 30th 2020. The first case in India was reported in Kerala on January 30th 2020. To break the chain of spreading, Government announced a nationwide lockdown on March 24th 2020, which is increased two times. The Ongoing lockdown 3.0 is over on May 18th, 2020. We derived how the lockdown relaxation is going to impact on containment of the outbreak. Here the Exponential Growth Model has been used to derive the epidemic curve based on the data collected from February 11th 2020, to May 11th 2020, and the Machine Learning based Linear Regression model that gives the epidemic curve to predict the cases with the continuous flow of the lockdown. We estimate that if the lockdown is continuing with more relaxation, then the estimated infected cases reach up to 1.16 crores by June 30th 2020, and the lockdown would persist with current restriction, then the expected predicted infected cases are 5.69 lacs. The Exponential Growth Model and the Linear Regression Model are advantageous to predict the number of affected cases of COVID-19. These models can be used for forecasting in long term intervals. It shows from our result that lockdown with certain restriction has a vital role in preventing the spreading of this epidemic in this current situation.

The global COVID-19 pandemic began in December 2019 and spread rapidly around the world. Worldwide, more than 230 million people fell ill, 4.75 million cases were fatal. In addition to the threat to health, the pandemic resulted in social problems, an economic crisis and the transition of an ordinary life to a "new reality". Mathematical modeling is an effective tool for controlling the epidemic process of COVID-19 in specified territories. Modeling makes it possible to predict the future dynamics of the epidemic process and to identify the factors that affect the increase in incidence in the greatest way. The simulation results enable public health professionals to take effective evidence-based responses to contain the epidemic. The study aims to develop machine learning and compartment models of COVID-19 epidemic process and to investigate experimental results of simulation. The object of research is COVID-19 epidemic process and its dynamics in territory of Ukraine. The research subjects are methods and models of epidemic process simulation, which include machine learning methods and compartment models. To achieve this aim of the research, we have used machine learning forecasting methods and have built COVID-19 epidemic process linear regression model and COVID-19 epidemic process compartment model. Because of experiments with the developed models, the predictive dynamics of the epidemic process of COVID-19 for 30 days were obtained for confirmed cases, recovered and death. For ‘Confirmed’, ‘Recovered’ and ‘Death’ cases mean errors have almost 1.15, 0.037 and 1.39 percent deviant, respectively, with a linear regression model. For ‘Confirmed’, ‘Recovered’ and ‘Death’ cases mean errors have almost 3.29, 1.08, and 0.71 percent deviant, respectively, for the SIR model. Conclusions. At this stage in the development of the epidemic process of COVID-19, it is more expedient to use a linear model to predict the incidence rate, which has shown higher accuracy and efficiency, the reason for that lies on the fact that the used linear regression model for this research was implemented on merely 30 days (from fifteen days before 2nd of March) and not the whole dataset of COVID-19. Also, it is expected that if we try to forecast in longer time ranges, the linear regression model will lose precision. Alternatively, since SIR model is more comprised in including more factors, the model is expected to perform better in fore-casting longer time ranges.

In this work, we integrated finite element (FE) method and machine learning (ML) method to predict the stent expansion in a calcified coronary artery. The stenting procedure was captured in a patient-specific artery model, reconstructed based on optical coherence tomography images. Following FE simulation, eight geometrical features in each of 120 cross sections in the pre-stenting artery model, as well as the corresponding post-stenting lumen area, were extracted for training and testing the ML models. A linear regression model and a support vector regression (SVR) model with three different kernels (linear, polynomial, and radial basis function kernels) were adopted in this work. Two subgroups of the eight features, i.e., stretch features and calcification features, were further assessed for the prediction capacity. The influence of the neighboring cross sections on the prediction accuracy was also investigated by averaging each feature over eight neighboring cross sections. Results showed that the SVR models provided better predictions than the linear regression model in terms of bias. In addition, the inclusion of stretch features based on mechanistic understanding could provide a better prediction, compared with the calcification features only. However, there were no statistically significant differences between neighboring cross sections and individual ones in terms of the prediction bias and range of error. The simulation-driven machine learning framework in this work could enhance the mechanistic understanding of stenting in calcified coronary artery lesions, and also pave the way toward precise prediction of stent expansion.

Build Time

Abstract Machine learning can be used to automate common or time-consuming engineering tasks for which sufficient data already exist. For instance, design repositories can be used to train deep learning algorithms to assess component manufacturability; however, methods to determine the suitability of a design repository for use with machine learning do not exist. We provide an initial investigation toward identifying such a method using “artificial” design repositories to experimentally test the extent to which altering properties of the dataset impacts the assessment precision and generalizability of neural networks trained on the data. For this experiment, we use a 3D convolutional neural network to estimate quantitative manufacturing metrics directly from voxel-based component geometries. Additive manufacturing (AM) is used as a case study because of the recent growth of AM-focused design repositories such as GrabCAD and Thingiverse that are readily accessible online. In this study, we focus only on material extrusion, the dominant consumer AM process, and investigate three AM build metrics: (1) part mass, (2) support material mass, and (3) build time. Additionally, we compare the convolutional neural network accuracy to that of a baseline multiple linear regression model. Our results suggest that training on design repositories with less standardized orientation and position resulted in more accurate trained neural networks and that orientation-dependent metrics were harder to estimate than orientation-independent metrics. Furthermore, the convolutional neural network was more accurate than the baseline linear regression model for all build metrics.
