Abstract–Planetary gearbox is widely used in many fields due to its robustness and high power-weight ratio, but implementation of fault diagnosis on it is challenging. This paper proposes a new fault diagnosis method for planetary gearbox based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and adaptive multi-scale morphological gradient filter (AMMGF). The proposed method has two dominant strengths: it...

Estimating the normal vector field on the boundary of discrete 3D objects is essential for rendering and image measurement problems. Most of the existing algorithms do not provide an accurate determination of the normal vector field for shapes that present edges. We propose here a new and simple computational method to obtain accurate results on all types of shapes whatever their degree of loca...

The unsupervised method proposed here for detecting structural features on satellite images consists of three major steps: a. The extraction of contours, which depends on the encountered texture, is obtained by an iterative filtering followed by several thresholds that generate binary images. The thresholds are determined by different percentages of pixels over the total number of pixels contai...

Fault detection in microgrids presents a strong technical challenge due to the dynamic operating conditions. Changing power generation and load impacts current magnitude direction, which has an adverse effect on microgrid protection scheme. To address this problem, paper addresses field-transform-based fault method immune The faults are simulated via Matlab/Simulink model of grid-connected phot...

In this study some properties ofthe methanol-water mixture such as diffusivity, density, viscosity, and hydrogen bonding were calculated at different temperatures and <span style="font-size: 10pt; colo...

“Shilling” attacks or “profile injection” attacks have always major challenges in collaborative filtering recommender systems (CFRSs). Many efforts have been devoted to improve collaborative filtering techniques which can eliminate the “shilling” attacks. However, most of them focused on detecting push attack or nuke attack which is rated with the highest score or lowest score on the target ite...

The general solution of the equations for a homogeneous isotropic microstretch thermo elastic medium with mass diffusion for two dimensional problems is obtained due to normal and tangential forces. The Integral transform technique is used to obtain the components of displacements, microrotation, stress and mass concentration, temperature change and mass concentration. A particular case of inte...

in this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, nickel and vanadium, associated with crude oil in shadgan wetland in the south-...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic value of the Athens QRS score to detect obstructive coronary artery disease CAD in patients with otherwise normal exercise stress test remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed 458 patients who underwent exercise stress test with or without myocardial perfusion imaging within 2 months of coronary angiography from 2008 to 2011. Patients (n=173) with abnormal st...
