Investigating the CREDIT History of Supernova Remnants as Cosmic-Ray Sources by Anton Stall, Chun Khai Loo, Philipp Mertsch

“…We model the spatial and temporal distribution of sources and the resulting distribution of fluxes with a Monte Carlo approach. The decision tree that we have trained on simulated data is able to discriminate with very high significance between the null hypothesis of a smooth distribution of sources and the scenario with a stochastic distribution of individual sources. …”

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. …”
