Among the most dangerous types of pollution is air pollution in urban areas, which has been shown to be strongly linked to higher morbidity and mortality rates. Air pollution can be due to several factors, such as human activities (that produce pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, and volatile organic compounds), photochemical reactions in the lower atmosphere (that produce ozone), or meteorological conditions that affect the concentrations of dust and particulate matter. The contamination levels of these pollutants need to be maintained below acceptable limits set by the world health organization (WHO) or air quality associations in various areas of the world in order to minimize the impact of these pollutants on humans and the environment. A detection of anomalies in measured air quality data is a crucial step towards improving the monitoring of air quality networks. Therefore, an enhanced fault detection technique of an air quality monitoring network using multiscale principal component analysis (MSPCA)-based on moving window generalized likelihood ratio test (MW-GLRT) is proposed. The presence of measurement noise in the data and model uncertainties degrade the quality of fault detection techniques by increasing the rate of false alarms. Thus, the objective of this paper is to enhance the fault detection of an air quality monitoring network by using wavelet-based multiscale representation of data, which is a powerful feature extraction tool to remove the noises from the data. Multiscale data representation has been used to enhance the fault detection abilities of principal component analysis. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the MSPCA-based MW-GLRT method over the conventional MSPCA-based GLRT method and both of them provide a good performance compared with the conventional PCA and MSPCA methods.","PeriodicalId":285890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130535239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a battery-powered sensor node depletes its energy, it is assumed as “dead” and recharging or replacing the battery is not possible in most of the applications. Lifetime of the wireless sensor network depends on the efficient use of available restricted energy. Railway monitoring application of Linear Wireless Sensor Networks (LWSNs) which are a subclass of wireless sensor networks is considered in this paper. The objective of this study is to present the effect of proper node deployment in extending the linear wireless sensor network lifetime. Thanks to proposed deployment scheme, it is shown that the energy consumption of the LWSN is lowered and thus the lifetime of the network is increased.","PeriodicalId":285890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128870357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such techniques can be quite slow as in general the acquisition of the full wave field and its processing, aimed at extracting damage related information, are time consuming processes. Therefore, strategies to reduce the acquisition time and improve the damage detection and quantification are sought. This research describes a method based on Compressive Sensing (CS) and a wavenumber estimation technique that can lead to fast scanning and improved damage detection. The proposed technique exploits the full wavefields which are rapidly reconstructed by applying the CS technique. Then, frequency wavenumber processing is performed to identify the maximum wavelength. Finally a dedicated masking procedure is implemented to enhance the defect-induced scattering. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques, several experiments were performed on aluminum structure, emulating defect with a mass. In the experiments, guided waves are excited with a piezoelectric transducer bonded to the inspected structure and sensed by an air-coupled probe mounted on a CNC machine. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique allows to reduce the amount of measurements needed and therefore the needed scanning time, as just the 20% of the Nyquist scanpoints were measured, and improves the performance of damage imaging tasks by removing automatically noise artifacts.","PeriodicalId":285890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130703736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The advantages are a portable instrument size, very high sensitivity in the ppbv range, fast response time in the range of a few seconds, but limited selectivity due to its relatively low resolving power. Typically, an ion mobility spectrum has maximum two peaks per analyte if dimer formation takes place; often only one peak per analyte is observable. Normally, analyte fragmentation is not observed. However, in a previous study, we reported strong fragmentation of n-decane and n-undecane when mercury is present in the device. In this paper, we employed de-convolution with help of Gold's Algorithm to reduce the peak width in these spectra with the goal to obtain further information regarding this fragmentation.","PeriodicalId":285890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120943646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon can lead to structural fatigue or worst, the bridge collapse. A continuous and comprehensive measurement system is needed for early detection and maintenance reference of a long-span bridge. Another benefit this system is aiming at maintaining the bridge design validation and getting development recommendation for subsequent structure. A comprehensive structural health monitoring system can be built based on data from continuous measurement and analysis of other loads such as seismic activities, traffic load, waves, self-weight of structure, earth pressure, corrosion, temperature, and so on. Some experiments have been conducted by National Laboratory of Aerodynamic, Aeroelastic and Aeroacoustic Technology's research team, which resulted in a long-span bridges aeroelastic monitoring system prototype. The prototype, called BAMS x1, can acquire wind direction, wind speed and vertical acceleration (heaving) data of a long-span bridge. A National Instrument based embedded data acquisition hardware is used. A stand-alone measurement system in remote location (based on Lab VIEW Web Service) can be build, and it is sending the data package to the server every 10 s period. At the server side, some data management and processing are done to prepare the data to the next level of analysis processing.
