Resnet-1DCNN-REA bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-source and multi-modal information fusion by Xu Chen, Wenbing Chang, Yongxiang Li, Zhao He, Xiang Ma, Shenghan Zhou

“…At the same time, the time-frequency statistical features of the fused 1D signal were extracted from the integrated perspective of time and frequency domains and inputted into the improved 1D convolutional neural network model based on the residual block and attention mechanism (1DCNN-REA) model to realize fault diagnosis. Finally, the tree-structured parzen estimator (TPE) algorithm was utilized to realize the integration of two models in order to improve the diagnostic effect of a single model and obtain the final bearing fault diagnosis results. …”

Observational Study on the Characteristics of the Boundary Layer during Changes in the Intensity of Tropical Cyclones Landing in Guangdong, China by Fei Liao, Ran Su, Pak-Wai Chan, Yanbin Qi, Kai-Kwong Hon

“…Eleven tropical cyclones that landed in Guangdong Province since 2012 and experienced strengthening or weakening over the offshore area were studied. Since the structure of the tropical cyclone boundary layer significantly influences the variation of the intensity of the cyclone, continuous observations of the wind profile radar at a coastal radar station in Guangdong Province were combined with aircraft observation data of the No. 1604 “Nida” cyclone to analyse the variations in the distributions of the radial wind, tangential wind, and angular momentum in the typhoon boundary layer and the similarities and differences between the boundary layers of the 11 tropical cyclones during the strengthening or weakening of their intensities. …”
