THE APPLICATION OF LCD AND SWT IN FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF ROLLING BEARING by LIU YiYa, LI Ke, CHEN Peng

“…The analysis results from rolling bearing signals with out ring, inner ring and rolling body faults which in a strong noise background shows that comparing with LCD and SWT, the approach of synchrosqueezing wavelet transform based on LCD can effectively suppress the noise and extract the effective signal frequency characteristics. It also has a high time-frequency resolution for accurately determining the operation of rolling bearings. …”

IECA: Intelligent Effective Crawling Algorithm for Web Pages by Mohammad Amin Golshani, Ali Mohammad Zareh Bidoki

“…Obtaining important pages rapidly can be very useful when a crawler cannot visit the entire Webin a reasonable amount of time.Several Crawling algorithms such as Partial PageRank,Batch PageRank, OPIC, and FICA have been proposed, but they have high time complexity or low throughput. To overcome these problems, we propose a new crawling algorithm called IECA which is easy to implement with low time O(E*logV)and memory complexity O(V) -Vand Eare the number of nodes and edges in the Web graph, respectively. …”
