Bearing Fault Feature Extraction Method Based on Adaptive Time-Varying Filtering Empirical Mode Decomposition and Singular Value Decomposition Denoising

Aiming to address the difficulty in extracting the early weak fault features of bearings under complex operating conditions, a fault diagnosis method is proposed based on the adaptive fusion of time-varying filtering empirical mode decomposition (TVF-EMD) modal components and singular value decomposition (SVD) noise reduction.First, the snake optim

Validation of quantitative fatty acid signature analysis for estimating the diet composition of free-ranging killer whales

Abstract Accurate diet estimates are necessary to assess trophic interactions and food web dynamics in ecosystems, particularly for apex predators like cetaceans, Screens which can regulate entire food webs.Quantitative fatty acid analysis (QFASA) has been used to estimate the diets of marine predators in the last decade but has yet to be implement
