Although there are many methods for investigating tectonic structures, many faults remain hidden, and they can endanger the life and property of people living along them. The slopes of volcanoes are covered with such hidden faults, near which strong earthquakes and gas releases can appear. Revealing hidden faults can therefore contribute significantly to the protection of people living in volcanic areas. In the study, seven different techniques were used for making measurements of in-soil radon concentrations in order to search for hidden faults on the SE flank of the Mt. Etna volcano. These reported methods had previously been proved to be useful tools for investigating fault structures. The main aim of the experiment presented here was to evaluate the usability of these methods in the geological conditions of the Mt. Etna region, and to find the best place for continual radon monitoring using a permanent station in the near future.

This paper presents a ground motion prediction (GMP) model using an artificial neural network (ANN) for shallow earthquakes, aimed at improving earthquake hazard safety evaluation. The proposed model leverages essential input variables such as moment magnitude, fault type, epicentral distance, and soil type, with the output variable being peak ground acceleration (PGA) at 5% damping. To develop this model, 885 data pairs were obtained from the Pacific Engineering Research Center, providing a robust dataset for training and validation.

With the continuous improvement in the efficiency of the heavy-haul railway freight transportation, the pressure on on-site maintenance is increasing. In-depth research on fault characteristics carries significant importance for fault scientific judgment and fault prevention. This study proposes an efficient association rule mining (ARM) algorithm, HM-RDHP, for analyzing fault data from heavy-haul railway freight trains.

To address the challenge of low accuracy in traditional transformer fault diagnosis algorithms, this paper introduces a novel approach that utilizes the Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm (AHA) to optimize both Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). We propose the use of various gas concentration ratio features and apply the AHA algorithm to fine-tune the kernel function parameters of KPCA, thus establishing an AHA-KPCA feature extraction model. This model takes the expanded gas concentration ratio features as input and selects the top N principal components with a cumulative contribution rate above 95% to form the feature vectors for fault classification.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are built with miniature sensor nodes (SN), which are deployed into the geographical location being sensed to monitor environmental conditions, which transfer the sensed physical information to the base station for further processing. The sensor nodes frequently experience node failure as a result of their hostile deployment and resource limitations. In WSN, node failure can cause a number of issues, namely Wireless Sensor Networks topology changes, broken communications links, disconnected portions of the network, and data transmission errors.

In few-shot fault diagnosis tasks in which the effective label samples are scarce, the existing semi-supervised learning (SSL)-based methods have obtained impressive results. However, in industry, some low-quality label samples are hidden in the collected dataset, which can cause a serious shift in model training and lead to the performance of SSL-based method degradation. To address this issue, the latest prototypical network-based SSL techniques are studied.
