FAULT DIAGNOSIS METHOD OF ROLLING BEARING BASED ON ICEEMD-FastICA by MA WeiPing, HONG KunYue, AN Ning, SONG YuZhou

“…In response to the difficulty in extracting early fault feature signals of rolling bearings, a joint fault diagnosis method based on Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (ICEEMD) and Independent Component Analysis(ICA) was proposed. This method utilized the kurtosis criterion to reconstruct the Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) obtained from ICEEMD and combined it with Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) for noise reduction and unmixing, significantly reducing the noise in the measured signals. …”

Effect of five non-invasive treatments on body composition, physical function and quality of life in elderly sarcopenia: a network meta-analysis of 22 randomized controlled trials by Demin Kong, Jiangang Chen

“…The outcome indicators were those related to the evaluation of body composition, physical function and quality of life. Net meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 to assess the relative effectiveness of each intervention and to test the consistency of direct and indirect evidence.ResultsES&amp;P (SMD = −3.33, 95% CI [−4.23, −2.44], p &lt; 0.00001) and AT (SMD = −1.31, 95% CI [−1.83, −0.79], p &lt; 0.00001, I2 = 58%) demonstrated significant effects in terms of fat reduction, RT achieved a significant effect in terms of muscle gain (SMD = 0.50, 95% CI [0.08, 0.91], p &lt; 0.05, I2 = 42%), RAT was the most effective in terms of strength gains (SMD = 0.51, 95% CI [0.05, 0.98], p &lt; 0.05, I2 = 0%), and RAT also demonstrated a favorable effect in terms of improving quality of life (SMD = 1.42, 95% CI [0.13, 2.70], p &lt; 0.05, I2 = 55%).ConclusionES &amp; P and AT have good effect on fat reduction, RT has the best effect on increasing muscle, RAT is the most effective in improving strength, and AT is the best in improving quality of life. …”
