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. …”

Feasibility and adherence to ecological momentary assessment among community-dwelling adults with suicide risk by Hyein Kim, Seongae Kwon, Sunyoung Park, Chaehyeon Kang, Heejung Kim

“…Higher depression and anxiety scores were associated with lower Actiwatch adherence, whereas a higher perceived stress score was associated with lower EMA response rates. The peak of suicidal impulse patterns in event button activations usually occurred between 9 to 10 pm, while activations were lowest in the early morning hours, particularly between 4 and 6 am. …”
