Fault prognosis of electronic circuits is the premise of guaranteeing normal operation of a system and carrying out on-condition maintenance. In this work, the remaining useful life (RUL) of electronic elements was estimated by selecting fault features based on variance, measuring fault severity based on relative entropy distance, and conducting fault prognosis based on the gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) model. At first, the corresponding voltages of amplitude-frequency response, under conditions of changing full-band element parameters, were extracted, and then the frequency bands with large change amplitude were further selected based on variance. Afterwards, using relative entropy distance, the degradation of element parameters was measured, and then the RUL of electronic elements was diagnosed through regression analysis by GBDT. By comparing the data with those arising from the use of other distance-measuring methods, the relative entropy distance shows a larger change range and less apt to suffer interference from noise, which is favorable to subsequent regression prediction. The regression analysis through GBDT is easy to understand and conveniently applied in engineering practice. The application of the method proposed in the study in two examples of electronic circuits indicates that the prediction accuracy of the method for RUL of electronic elements is higher than that of the other distance-measuring methods, and its application in engineering practice is convenient.

It has been pointed out that the act of carrying a heavy object that exceeds a certain weight by a worker at a construction site is a major factor that puts physical burden on the worker’s musculoskeletal system. However, due to the nature of the construction site, where there are a large number of workers simultaneously working in an irregular space, it is difficult to figure out the weight of the object carried by the worker in real time or keep track of the worker who carries the excess weight. This paper proposes a prototype system to track the weight of heavy objects carried by construction workers by developing smart safety shoes with FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) sensors. The system consists of smart safety shoes with sensors attached, a mobile device for collecting initial sensing data, and a web-based server computer for storing, preprocessing and analyzing such data. The effectiveness and accuracy of the weight tracking system was verified through the experiments where a weight was lifted by each experimenter from +0 kg to +20 kg in 5 kg increments. The results of the experiment were analyzed by a newly developed machine learning based model, which adopts effective classification algorithms such as decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting algorithm (GBM), and light GBM. The average accuracy classifying the weight by each classification algorithm showed similar, but high accuracy in the following order: random forest (90.9%), light GBM (90.5%), decision tree (90.3%), and GBM (89%). Overall, the proposed weight tracking system has a significant 90.2% average accuracy in classifying how much weight each experimenter carries.

As the global temperature continues to rise, people have become increasingly concerned about global climate change. In order to help China to effectively develop a carbon peak target completion plan, this paper proposes a carbon emission prediction model based on the improved whale algorithm-optimized gradient boosting decision tree, which combines four optimization methods and significantly improves the prediction accuracy. This paper uses historical data to verify the superiority of the gradient boosting tree prediction model optimized by the improved whale algorithm. In addition, this study also predicted the carbon emission values of China from 2020 to 2035 and compared them with the target values, concluding that China can accomplish the relevant target values, which suggests that this research has practical implications for China’s future carbon emission reduction policies.

The use of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) for collaborative monitoring and marine data collection tasks is rapidly increasing. One of the major challenges associated with building these networks is handover prediction; this is because the mobility model of the sensor nodes is different from that of ground-based wireless sensor network (WSN) devices. Therefore, handover prediction is the focus of the present work. There have been limited efforts in addressing the handover prediction problem in UWSNs and in the use of ensemble learning in handover prediction for UWSNs. Hence, we propose the simulation of the sensor node mobility using real marine data collected by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency. These data include the water current speed and direction between data. The proposed simulation consists of a large number of sensor nodes and base stations in a UWSN. Next, we collected the handover events from the simulation, which were utilized as a dataset for the handover prediction task. Finally, we utilized four machine learning prediction algorithms (i.e., gradient boosting, decision tree (DT), Gaussian naive Bayes (GNB), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN)) to predict handover events based on historically collected handover events. The obtained prediction accuracy rates were above 95%. The best prediction accuracy rate achieved by the state-of-the-art method was 56% for any UWSN. Moreover, when the proposed models were evaluated on performance metrics, the measured evolution scores emphasized the high quality of the proposed prediction models. While the ensemble learning model outperformed the GNB and KNN models, the performance of ensemble learning and decision tree models was almost identical.

Electronic Design

We propose the use of nonlinear electronic circuits to study synthetic gene regulation networks. Specifically, we have designed two electronic versions of a synthetic genetic clock, known as the "repressilator," making use of appropriate electronic elements linked in the same way as the original biochemical system. We study the effects of coupling in a population of electronic repressilators, with the aim of observing coherent oscillations of the whole population. With these results, we show that this kind of nonlinear circuits can be helpful in the design and understanding of synthetic genetic networks.
