The main objective of this paper is to describe a building process of a model predicting the soil strength at unpaved airport surfaces (unpaved runways, safety areas in runway proximity, runway strips, and runway end safety areas). The reason for building this model is to partially substitute frequent and meticulous inspections of an airport movement area comprising the bearing strength evaluation and provide an efficient tool to organize surface maintenance. Since the process of building such a model is complex for a physical model, it is anticipated that it might be addressed by a statistical model instead. Therefore, fuzzy logic (FL) and artificial neural network (ANN) capabilities are investigated and compared with linear regression function (LRF). Large data sets comprising the bearing strength and meteorological characteristics are applied to train the likely model variations to be subsequently compared with the application of standard statistical quantitative parameters. All the models prove that the inclusion of antecedent soil strength as an additional model input has an immense impact on the increase in model accuracy. Although the M7 model out of the ANN group displays the best performance, the M3 model is considered for practical implications being less complicated and having fewer inputs. In general, both the ANN and FL models outperform the LRF models well in all the categories. The FL models perform almost equally as well as the ANN but with slightly decreased accuracy.

An electronic sensor array with 12 nonspecific metal oxide sensors was evaluated for its ability to monitor volatile compounds in super broth alone and in super broth inoculated with Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) at 37°C for 2 to 12 h. Using discriminant function analysis, it was possible to differentiate super broth alone from that containing E. coli when cell numbers were 105 CFU or more. There was a good agreement between the volatile profiles from the electronic sensor array and a gas chromatography–mass spectrometer method. The potential to predict the number of E. coli and the concentration of specific metabolic compounds was investigated using an artificial neural network (ANN). The artificial neural network was composed of an input layer, one hidden layer, and an output layer, with a hyperbolic tangent sigmoidal transfer function in the hidden layer and a linear transfer function in the output layer. Good prediction was found as measured by a regression coefficient (R2 = 0.999) between actual and predicted data.

<p>Automated signature verification and forgery detection has many applications in the field of Bank-cheque processing,document  authentication, ATM access etc. Handwritten signatures have proved to be important in authenticating a person's identity, who is signing the document. In this paper a Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Network Based Off-line Signature Verification and Forgery Detection System is presented. As there are unique and important variations in the feature elements of each signature, so in order to match a particular signature with the database, the structural parameters of the signatures along with the local variations in the signature characteristics are used. These characteristics have been used to train the artificial neural network. The system uses the features extracted from the signatures such as centroid, height – width ratio, total area, I<sup>st</sup> and II<sup>nd</sup> order derivatives, quadrant areas etc. After the verification of the signature the angle features are used in fuzzy logic based system for forgery detection.</p>

The purpose of this study is to develop a model of neuro-fuzzy regulation of the microclimate in the room. The proposed model consists of an artificial neural network serving to form a comfort index PMV, a fuzzy logic controller for regulating temperature and humidity in the room. This approach makes it easy to manage these parameters through an estimate of the PMV index, which indicates the level of thermal comfort in the room.
