An Intelligent Water Source Discrimination Method For Water Inrushes From Coal Seam Roofs In The Inner Mongolia-Shaanxi Border Region, Wang Hao, Sun Junqing, Zeng Yifan, Shang Hongbo, Wang Tiantian, Qiao Wei

Coal Geology & Exploration

Water hazard on the coal seam proof induced by high-intensity coal mining are increasingly prominent in the Inner Mongolia-Shaanxi border region. The effective, accurate water-source discrimination of the water inrushes is the key to water hazard prevention. This study investigated three typical mines in the Inner Mongolia-Shaanxi border region. To this end, principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to extract principal components from 80 groups of groundwater samples. Then, with inorganic indicators K++Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl, SO4 2−, HCO3 and TDS and organic indicators UV254 …

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In recent years, several catastrophic landslide events have been observed throughout the globe, threatening to lives and infrastructures. To minimize the impact of landslides, the need of landslide susceptibility map is important. The study aims to extract high-quality non-landslide samples and improve the accuracy of landslide susceptibility modelling (LSM) outcomes by applying a coupled method of ensemble learning and Machine Learning (ML). The Zigui-Badong section of the Three Gorges Reservoir area (TGRA) in China was considered in the present study. Twelve influencing factors were selected as inputs for LSM, and the relationship between each causal factor and landslide spatial development …

Early Warning And Prediction Of Kicks And Lost Circulation Accident During Rescue Drilling Of Mine, Chen Weiming, Wang Jiawen, Fan Dong, Hao Shijun, Zhao Jiangpeng, Qiu Yu

Coal Geology & Exploration

In order to solve the problems such as the difficulty in early warning and prediction of kicks and lost circulation accidents during emergency rescue drilling of mine, a machine learning-based early for warning and prediction model of drilling process was established. Firstly, the accident characterization parameters of the drilling parameters in the early stage of kicks and lost circulation accidents were analyzed. Secondly, the accident characterization parameters were cleaned and processed. On this basis, XGBoost and early warning model was used to carry out the early diagnosis and identification of kicks and lost circulation accidents. Then, the PSO-LSTM accident development …

Predicting Forage Provision Of Grasslands Across Climate Zones By Hyperspectral Measurements, F. A. Männer, J. Muro, J. Ferner, S. Schmidtlein, A. Linstädter

IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)

The potential of grasslands’ fodder production is a crucial management measure, while its quantification is still laborious and costly. Remote sensing technologies, such as hyperspectral field measurements, enable fast and non-destructive estimation. However, such methods are still limited in transferability to other locations or climatic conditions. With this study, we aim to predict forage nutritive value, quantity, and energy yield from hyperspectral canopy reflections of grasslands across three climate zones. We took hyperspectral measurements with a field spectrometer from grassland canopies in temperate, tropical and semi-arid grasslands, and analyzed corresponding biomass samples for their quantity (BM), metabolizable energy content (ME) …


Towards Machine Learning-Based Control Of Autonomous Vehicles In Solar Panel Cleaning Systems, Farima Hajiahmadi Jan 2024

Towards Machine Learning-Based Control Of Autonomous Vehicles In Solar Panel Cleaning Systems, Farima Hajiahmadi

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis presents a machine learning (ML)-based approach for the intelligent control of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) utilized in solar panel cleaning systems, aiming to mitigate challenges arising from uncertainties, disturbances, and dynamic environments. Solar panels, predominantly situated in dedicated lands for solar energy production (e.g., agricultural solar farms), are susceptible to dust and debris accumulation, leading to diminished energy absorption. Instead of labor-intensive manual cleaning, robotic cleaners offer a viable solution. AVs equipped to transport and precisely position these cleaning robots are indispensable for efficient navigation among solar panel arrays. However, environmental obstacles (e.g., rough terrain), variations in solar panel …
