Composite Fault Prediction of Bearing Based on Cascaded Long Short Term Memory Neural Network by JIANG Xuyao, LIN Qunxu, HOU Zhicheng, ZHANG Gong, ZHANG Jinyue, YANG Gen

“…At present, resonance demodulation and data envelopment analysis, etc are usually used for health evaluation and remaining life prediction of bearings, but there are some problems such as difficulty in extracting health degree, single fault prediction type, and lack of reliable models. Aiming at these deficiencies, this paper proposes a method which realizes bearing health assessment and remaining life prediction through two-stage cascaded long short term memory neural network. …”

Transdisciplinary model-based systems engineering in the development of the Ruminant Farm Systems model by Haowen Hu, Clifford A. Whitcomb, Thomas E. Ploetz, Kristan F. Reed, Kristan F. Reed

“…Regional variations influenced whole herd enteric CH4 intensity, with R2 scenarios showing the highest emissions (0.472 ± 3.65 × 10−3 kg CO2-eq/kg FPCM), followed by R1 (0.458 ± 4.19 × 10−3 kg CO2-eq/kg FPCM) and R3 (0.449 ± 3.45 × 10−3 kg CO2-eq/kg FPCM), driven by differences in dry matter intake, and milk production and composition. Manure storage methods also impacted emissions, with ADL scenarios producing 0.146 kg CO2-eq/kg FPCM lower whole farm GHG emissions than SS scenarios, due to the combined effects of reduced manure storage CH4 emissions associated with anaerobic digestion and associated increased NH3 emissions and subsequent indirect N2O emissions. …”
