Fault diagnosis method of mine hoist main bearing with small sample based on VAE-WGAN by Fan JIANG, Hongyan SONG, Xi SHEN, Zhencai ZHU, Shuman CHENG

“…Therefore, conducting fault diagnosis of the main bearing of the hoist is of great significance for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the mine hoist. However, the proportion of normal service and fault status in the monitoring data of the operation status of mine hoists is severely imbalanced, showing characteristics such as a large number of normal samples, a small number of fault samples, and insufficient label samples, resulting in unsatisfactory training results and low diagnostic accuracy of the main bearing fault model of mine hoists. …”

Molecular Fractionation Induced by Viscosity-Driven Segregative Phase Separation Behavior of Gum Arabic/Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose by Lingyu Han, Cunzhi Zhang, Nuo Dong, Jixin Yang, Qiuyue Zheng, Xiaobo Zhang, Ronggang Liu, Jijuan Cao, Bing Hu

“…By conducting a comparative analysis of two GA subtypes (CGA and SGA) and three HPMC grades with controlled viscosity gradients, we utilized gel permeation chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering (GPC-MALLS) coupled with rheological characterization to elucidate the critical relationship between continuous phase viscosity and fractionation efficiency. Notably, increasing HPMC viscosity significantly intensified phase separation, resulting in selective enrichment of arabinogalactan-protein complexes: from 6.3% to 8.5% in CGA/HPMC systems and from 27.3% to 36.5% in SGA/HPMC systems. …”
