Tunnel engineering is one of the typical megaprojects given its long construction period, high construction costs and potential risks. Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are widely used in tunnel engineering to improve work efficiency and safety. During the tunneling process, large amount of monitoring data has been recorded by TBMs to ensure construction safety. Analysis of the massive real-time monitoring data still lacks sufficiently effective methods and needs to be done manually in many cases, which brings potential dangers to construction safety. This paper proposes a hybrid data mining (DM) approach to process the real-time monitoring data from TBM automatically. Three different DM techniques are combined to improve mining process and support safety management process. In order to provide people with the experience required for on-site abnormal judgement, association rule algorithm is carried out to extract relationships among TBM parameters. To supplement the formation information required for construction decision-making process, a decision tree model is developed to classify formation data. Finally, the rate of penetration (ROP) is evaluated by neural network models to find abnormal data and give early warning. The proposed method was applied to a tunnel project in China and the application results verified that the method provided an accurate and efficient way to analyze real-time TBM monitoring data for safety management during TBM construction.
A reverse engineering approach for software testing of object-oriented programs is described. The approach is based on a graphic model which consists of three types of diagrams: object relation diagrams; block branch diagrams; and object state diagrams. These diagrams may be used to provide guidance on the order to test the classes and member functions; prepare member function test cases; prepare test cases for object state dependent behaviors and interaction between such behaviors; and provide graphic display of coverage information to a tester.< >
During the operation and maintenance period of buildings, a monitoring system established to monitor the internal environment can be very helpful to ensure that buildings are in good condition. However, the existing monitoring systems still need improvements in data interoperability and smart sensing. This paper established a new monitoring framework based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and IoT (Internet of Things) Technology. In this proposed framework, BIM is used to maintain the 3D data of the building, while a time-series database called InfluxDB is introduced for storage of monitoring data. Then, a monitoring server based on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol is established, providing a low-cost and reliable communication. Meanwhile, Arduino microcontrollers with some sensors are adopted as the nodes of the monitoring network, aiming to collect real-time data of the environment and upload the data to the server. Finally, a prototype system is developed to demonstrate the proposed framework. Testing of the developed system and corresponding IoT sensors shows that combination of BIM and IoT technology provides a comprehensive view of the status of the buildings and improves the efficiency of information utilization.
Multimodal registration, which bringing images from different modality into spatia correspondence, is of importance in many clinical applications. Medical image registration is an active research filed in medical image processing in the last two decades. Over the years, research of multinodal registration has produced a lot of different methods. Surveys of medical image registration with a classification have been made.
Thispaper introducesthe development.and research of measurement and diagnosis device with multiparameters of stomach and esophagus. The resultsofanimal experiments and part of clinic experiments have indicated that gastric pressure, pH,temperature and EGG correlate with each other. The instrument may describe the d igestive disease in numberical quantities, and then we can reach the goal of adied diagnosis.
