Editors, authors, and readers, whoever find that a correction is required in the publication, should feel free to contact editorial_office@acad-pub.com. Please clearly state the content that needs to be changed. Please also send the article title, DOI, and page number to us. Upon approval by the Editorial Office, a corrreciton will be published in the current issue. Note that a correction should not affect the scientific results and integrity of the experiments.
Retraction policy
Academic Publishing Pte. Ltd. considers retracting the publication if there is clear evidence of unreliable results, redundant publication, plagiarism, infringement of copyright, evident calculation errors, unethical research, etc.
Academic Publishing Pte. Ltd. abides by the Retraction Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Articles will be retracted as soon as possible to minimize the negative effect of the article on other researchers’ work. Instead of removing from the journal website, retracted articles will be marked with “Retracted”, accompanied by retraction notices being issued by the publisher. Reasons for the retraction and who initiated the retraction action should be included in the retraction notice. Please note that APCs will not be refunded due to the retraction of an article.
Withdrawal policy
Academic Publishing Pte. Ltd. does not support the withdrawal of publication unless that it may be suspected of academic misconduct. If the author can provide a reasonable application to the Editorial Office after it has been accepted (but not yet published), and the Editorial Office agrees to the request, a processing fee of USD 200 is chargeable upon withdrawal. Withdrawn manuscripts will be deleted from the OJS system and all authors will receive an official notification of withdrawal, which means the withdrawal action is finished.
Early fault signals of the rolling bearing in the rotor are weak and present the characteristics of non-periodic and non-stationary; it is more difficult to carry out fault diagnosis on it. In this regard, this paper proposes a weak rolling bearing fault diagnosis algorithm based on whale optimization algorithm, simplistic geometry mode decomposition, and maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (WOA-SGMD-MCKD). Firstly, the vibration signal of the rotor platform is obtained, and the Symmetric Geometric Mode Decomposition (SGMD) is used to reconstruct the vibration signal. To obtain the best decomposition effect of the SGMD and overcome modal aliasing, the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is used to optimize the embedding dimension. Secondly, for the reconstructed vibration signal, the Maximum Correlated Kurtosis Deconvolution (MCKD) is used to extract its impulse component, and the WOA is used to optimize the filter length and deconvolution period of the MCKD so that the frequency envelope spectrum of the vibration signal can be obtained, which can provide the basis for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm proposed are verified by a non-periodic and non-stationary simulation platform and rotor maneuvering platform in this paper.
In this work, the movement of tumor angiogenic factor in a three-dimensional tissue is obtained by the Method of Lines. This method transforms a partial differential equation into a system of ordinary differential equations together with the initial and boundary conditions. The more the number of lines is increased, the more the accuracy of the method increases. This method results in very accurate numerical solutions for linear and non-linear problems in contrast with other existing methods. We present Matlab-generated figures, which are the movement of tumor angiogenic factor in porous medium and explain the biological importance of this progression. The computer codes are also provided.
This paper investigates the controllability of nonlinear dynamical systems and their applications, with a focus on fractional-order systems and coal mill models. A novel theorem is proposed, providing sufficient conditions for controllability, including constraints on the steering operator and nonlinear perturbation bounds. The theorem establishes the existence of a contraction mapping for the nonlinear operator, enabling effective control strategies for fractional systems. The methodology is demonstrated through rigorous proof and supported by an iterative algorithm for controller design. Additionally, the controllability of a coal mill system represented as a nonlinear differential system, is analyzed. The findings present new insights into the interplay of fractional dynamics and nonlinear systems, offering practical solutions for real-world control problems.
