A supervised model to identify wolf behavior from tri-axial acceleration by Charlotte Lorand, Léa Bouet, Olivier Devineau, Marianna Chimienti, Alina L. Evans, Peggy Callahan, Mark Beckel, Timothy G. Laske, Ane Eriksen

“…We investigated the potential limits to the generalizability of these models to unlabeled data through individual-based cross-validation. Results We present: (1) a model classifying fine-scale acceleration data (32 Hz) into 12 distinct behaviors (lying, trotting, stationary, galloping, walking, chewing, sniffing, climbing, howling, shaking, digging and jumping) with a class recall of 0.77–0.99 (0.01–0.91 in cross-validation), (2) a model classifying activity data (5-min averages) into 3 behavior categories (static, locomotion and miscellaneous) with a class recall of 0.43–0.91 (0.39–0.92 in cross-validation). …”

Application Study on Active Advanced Support Technology in Deep Roadway under Mine Goaf by Pengfei Jiang, Peng Xiao, Fanbao Meng, Suolin Jing, Jingkai Zhang, Ge Wang, Peng Zhao

“…Within the allowable range of reading error, the results showed that the maximum displacement of medium-deep base point and shallow base point of two roadways was 15.2 cm and 10.9 cm, respectively; the pressure value had a more obvious jump increase when the distance between each measuring point and the working face was about 35 m, which means the range is strongly affected by the advance mining, and the area affected by advanced mining was 35 m ahead of the working face. …”

Stability Analysis of Networked Control Systems with Random Time Delays and Packet Dropouts Modeled by Markov Chains by Li Qiu, Fengqi Yao, Xiaopin Zhong

“…This paper investigates the stability analysis problem for a class of discrete-time networked control systems (NCSs) with random time delays and packet dropouts based on unified Markov jump model. The random time delays and packet dropouts existed in feedback communication link are modeled by two independent Markov chains; the resulting closed-loop system is described by a new Markovian jump linear system (MJLS) with Markov delays. …”
