The development of a reliable and automated condition monitoring methodology for the detection of mechanical failures in rotating machinery has garnered much interest in recent years. Thanks to the rise in popularity of machine learning techniques, the number of purely data-driven approaches that try to tackle the issue of vibration-based condition monitoring has also drastically improved. Instead of directly using the vibration measurement data ...

This paper gives an overview of the scarce occasions in which Japan came into contact with Western arithmetic and algebra before the Meiji restoration of 1868. After the refutation of persistent claims on the influence through Japanese students at Leiden during the seventeenth century, it concentrates on the reception of Dutch works during the last decades of the Tokugawa shogunate and the motivations to study and translate these books. While ...

In this paper, a new bridgeless single-phase ACU+2013DC power factor corrector is presented. The proposed scheme is based on the interleaved topology of buckU+2013boost converter without a bridge rectifier at the input stage for ACU+2013DC conversion. The required ACU+2013DC conversion is done with the help of the interleaved topology of the buckU+2013boost converter. The absence of rectifier bridge at the input side of the circuit means the ...

Research into the persuasive quality of metaphor has a long standing tradition, with the topic of migration embodying one of its pet discourse genres. Yet, only few studies have recognized the existence of identical metaphors occurring across the ideological divide. The present paper explores the way in which three US-based news outlets with broadly different group alignments and overall attitudes in relation to the issue of migration wield ...
