Principal component analysis (PCA) and independent (ICA) have been widely used for process monitoring in industry. Since the operation data of blast furnace (BF) ironmaking contain both non-Gaussian distribution Gaussian data, above single PCA or ICA method hardly describes information BF completely, which makes diagnosis abnormal working-conditions only with a prone to false positives negatives. In this article, novel integrated PCA-ICA is proposed diagnosing conditions by comprehensively...
Optimal operation of an industrial blast furnace (BF) ironmaking process largely depends on a reliable measurement molten iron quality (MIQ) indices, which are not feasible using the conventional sensors.

Optimizing the final grinding production indices (GPIs), which include product particle size and rate, to meet overall manufacturing performance requirements is main function of automatic control a circuit (GC). However, complex time-varying nature GC process dictates that these GPIs cannot be optimized solely by lower-level distributed systems (DCS), therefore an operator often incorporated manually determine set-points for DCS using his/her operational experience. With human being...
Optimal operation of a practical blast furnace (BF) iron-making process depends largely on good measurement molten iron quality (MIQ) indices.

Trajectory forecasting for human mobility plays a critical role in the effective management and sustainable development of urban transportation, which aligns with advocacy Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although several approaches have been developed other trajectory applications, such as autonomous driving intelligent robotics, there remain limitations trajectories mobility. This is because they do not adequately consider prior knowledge movement patterns heterogeneous effects...
