Multiple-Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Multiscale Feature Extraction and MSVM_PPA by Min Zhang, Zhenyu Cai, Wenming Cheng

“…MSVM method with PPA parameters optimization will classify the fault patterns. The results of a case study of the rolling bearings faults data from Case Western Reserve University show that (1) the proposed intelligent method (MFE_PPA_MSVM) improves the classification recognition rate; (2) the accuracy will decline when the number of fault patterns increases; (3) prediction accuracy can be the best when the training set size is increased to 70% of the total sample set. …”

Paleomagnetism in Lake Pannon: Problems, Pitfalls, and Progress in Using Iron Sulfides for Magnetostratigraphy by Nick A. Kelder, Karin Sant, Mark J. Dekkers, Imre Magyar, Gijs A. vanDijk, Ymke Z. Lathouwers, Orsolya Sztanó, Wout Krijgsman

“…Alternating field demagnetization cannot resolve the individual components: it yields polarities corresponding to the dominant component resulting in erratic polarity patterns. Interpretation of LT and HT components allows a reasonably robust magnetostratigraphic correlation to the geomagnetic polarity time scale with the base of PAET‐30 at ~8.4 Ma and its top at ~6.8 Ma (average sedimentation rate of ~30 cm/kyr). …”
