Abstract Controlling liquid flow is one of the most important parameters in the process control industry. It is challenging to optimize the liquid flow rate for its highly nonlinear nature. This paper proposes a model of liquid flow processes using an artificial neural network (NN) and optimizes it using a flower pollination algorithm (FPA) to avoid local minima and improve the accuracy and convergence speed. In the first phase, the NN model was trained by the dataset obtained from the experiments, which were carried out. In these conditions, the liquid flow rate was measured at different sensor output voltages, pipe diameter and liquid conductivity. The model response was cross-verified with the experimental results and found to be satisfactory. In the second phase of work, the optimized conditions of sensor output voltages, pipe diameter and liquid conductivity were found to give the minimum flow rate of the process using FPA. After cross-validation and testing subdatasets, the accuracy was nearly 94.17% and 99.25%, respectively.

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.

<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>
