Download or read book Bio inspired Algorithms for Data Streaming and Visualization Big Data Management and Fog Computing written by Simon James Fong and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide some insights into recently developed bio-inspired algorithms within recent emerging trends of fog computing, sentiment analysis, and data streaming as well as to provide a more comprehensive approach to the big data management from pre-processing to analytics to visualization phases. The subject area of this book is within the realm of computer science, notably algorithms (meta-heuristic and, more particularly, bio-inspired algorithms). Although application domains of these new algorithms may be mentioned, the scope of this book is not on the application of algorithms to specific or general domains but to provide an update on recent research trends for bio-inspired algorithms within a specific application domain or emerging area. These areas include data streaming, fog computing, and phases of big data management. One of the reasons for writing this book is that the bio-inspired approach does not receive much attention but shows considerable promise and diversity in terms of approach of many issues in big data and streaming. Some novel approaches of this book are the use of these algorithms to all phases of data management (not just a particular phase such as data mining or business intelligence as many books focus on); effective demonstration of the effectiveness of a selected algorithm within a chapter against comparative algorithms using the experimental method. Another novel approach is a brief overview and evaluation of traditional algorithms, both sequential and parallel, for use in data mining, in order to provide an overview of existing algorithms in use. This overview complements a further chapter on bio-inspired algorithms for data mining to enable readers to make a more suitable choice of algorithm for data mining within a particular context. In all chapters, references for further reading are provided, and in selected chapters, the author also include ideas for future research.

This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEFECT ASSESSMENT FOR INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT OF PIPELINES Make energy pipelines safer by improved defect assessment for integrity management Pipelines provide an effective and efficient mode for transportation of energies, including both conventional fossil fuels and renewable energies and fuels such as hydrogen, biofuels and carbon dioxide, over wide ranges and long distances, meeting economic development and civilian needs. While the integrity and safety of in-service pipelines is paramount to pipeline operators, there are many factors which can adversely affect the pipeline integrity and potentially result in pipeline failures and, sometimes, serious consequences. Defect Assessment for Integrity Management of Pipelines provides a thorough and detailed overview of various techniques that can be used to assess corrosion defects, the most common defects on pipelines, and other mechanical defects such as dents, buckles and winkles, all of which constitute essential threats to pipeline integrity. In addition to widely used standards and codes for defect assessment, readers can obtain the latest progress in development of advanced techniques for improved accuracy in defect assessment. From early-stage Level I methods to the newest Level III method integrating with the mechano-electrochemical interaction, Defect Assessment for Integrity Management of Pipelines has everything you need to improve safety of your pipelines. Defect Assessment for Integrity Management of Pipelines readers will also find: Evolution of defect assessment techniques and limitations to be overcome with improved techniques Detailed analysis of defect assessment for determination of fitness-for-service of the pipelines, and prediction of their failure pressures Both theoretical and practical aspects of the defect assessment methods applied on pipelines Defect Assessment for Integrity Management of Pipelines is ideal for pipeline professionals, researchers and graduate students to improve personal knowledge, research expertise, and technical skills.

Book excerpt: Issue 09 July-August-September 2016 The Creation Of Fluid And Gas Mechanics Basis In The Micro-Cracked Channel R.S. Gurbanov, M.A. Mammadova, A.A. Hajiyev There are experimental investigations of the fluids flow in the small-sized channels, the hydraulic resistances results of which are more than the estimated ones according to theoretical formulas and different supposed explanations without the quantitative evolution have been given in the reference. Taking into consideration this situation in the mechanics we were conducted the experiments in special developed unit with different fluids: water, viscous and anomalous oils. The results of the numerous experimental investigations for deter- mining new effect of fluid mechanics in the micro-cracked channels have been given in this work. Firstly the experimental-estimated methodology in the “micro-crack fluid” system has been proposed and realized for the quantita- tive estimation of the hydraulic resistances. This approach allows to conduct hydrodynamic engineering estimations for fluids flow in the fractured-porous medium, in the mechanical engineering, in the lubrication systems of instrument engineering and also for solutions of the sealing problems in different branches of industry and medicine. Multi-Criterial Estimation Of The Level Of Corrosion Damage Of The Gas-Pipeline Areas In The Ambiguous Expert Opinions S.A. Aghammadova The linguistic model has-been developed for the estimation of the corrosion damage level of the gas-pipeline areas in the optimistic and the pessimistic expert opinions of the influencing factors. For solving of the given task generalization of the method of multi-criterial choice of the best alternative in the case of rules of fuzzy productions has been chosen, antecedents and consequents of which have been by fuzzy sets with multi-semi functions of belonging. Wavelet Method For Solving Problems Of Unsteady Fluid Filtration In The Crack-Porous Ring Type Formation O.A. Dyshin Based on the multiple-scale analysis in L^2(R^3) using discrete wavelet transform with separable orthonormal basis we’ve developed a method of sustainable approximate calculation of the classical solution of the initial-boundary value problem of unsteady fluid filtration in the crack-porous ring-type formation. The problem is reduced to solving ill-posed problem of finding the solution of linear polynomial equation given inaccurate data, when the approximate solution constructed by regularization method is stable with respect to error in differential equations ratios and boundary conditions set up, as well as set up right member falseness. Decision Making In The Multi-Criteria Problems Of Alternatives Using The Bayesian Interval Inference Methods R.F. Hajiyeva The Bayesian inference method is used in the decision process of the multi-criteria problems using the strength of information on the product rules. Using these mechanisms the point and interval estimates of the posterior probabilities are built on their prior probabilities, derived from the composite aggregation rules of the alternative description information of the decision-maker preferences defined by a fuzzy expert judgements. These decision logic is applied to the problem of selecting a candidate on the vacant faculty position in university Comparative Analysis Of Trading Systems Performances With Respect To Transaction Cost E.J. Janahmadov The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the performance of trading rules applied to the underlying and derivative products. Three different trading market indictors were chosen from the range of trading rules according to their performance relatively to Dow Jones Industrial Average. On the basis of these technical indicators the automated trading systems were developed and then applied to the underlying instrument such Dow Jones Industrial Average. The performances of trading systems and profit/loss indexes were compared and analyzed. The results are compared with “buy-and-hold” strategy and performance of underlying security. The results of the research intend to show the effect of the transactions costs on the performance of trading systems and optimal could be applied to invest into underlying or derivatives of underlying.
