Composite fault feature extraction for gears based on MCKD-EWT adaptive wavelet threshold noise reduction by Yanchang LV, Jingyue Wang, Chengqiang Zhang, Jianming Ding

“…The results of experimental data analysis show that compared with the feature extraction methods such as spatial scale threshold EWT-MCKD and Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMDAN)-MCKD, the proposed method is more suitable for the diagnosis of gear composite faults in a strong background noise environment, the noise interference is effectively suppressed, and the extraction effect of gear composite fault features is more obvious.…”

How does disability contribute to deprivation in ageing process: a multidimensional analysis by Kairan Zhang, Jiayi Wang

“…BackgroundIn the context of disability and multidimensional deprivation during the ageing process, this paper aims to assess the net effect of multidimensional deprivation in older adults induced by disability with bidirectional causality controlled.MethodsUsing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011–2018, this paper estimated the multidimensional deprivation in terms of economic condition, subjective well-being, and social participation caused by old age disability, which was assessed by a joint identification method, with instrumental variable employed.ResultsThe results indicate that (1) the higher the degree of disability, the higher the probability and degree of multidimensional deprivation suffered by the old age. (2) And the level of disability has caused more significant deprivation in subjective well-being and social participation dimensions than economic condition. (3) The effect of multidimensional deprivation induced by disability also varies by urban and rural areas.ConclusionMore comprehensive health and anti-deprivation policies are needed to accurately identify disability status, prevent associated socio-economic risks, and narrow the urban–rural gap in disability and deprivation.…”

Domestication reduces alternative splicing expression variations in sorghum. by Vincent Ranwez, Audrey Serra, David Pot, Nathalie Chantret

“…Noticeably, for a given gene, one isoform can either be overexpressed or underexpressed in some wild accessions, whereas in the cultivated accessions, the balance between the two isoforms of the same gene appears to be much more homogenous. Indeed, we observe in sorghum significantly more variation in isoform expression balance among wild accessions than among domesticated accessions. …”
