This paper analyzes the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting the received power/path loss in both outdoor and indoor links. The approach followed has been a combined use of ANNs and ray-tracing, the latter allowing the identification and parameterization of the so-called dominant path. A complete description of the process for creating and training an ANN-based model is presented with special emphasis on the training process. More specifically, we will be discussing various techniques to arrive at valid predictions focusing on an optimum selection of the training set. A quantitative analysis based on results from two narrowband measurement campaigns, one outdoors and the other indoors, is also presented.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used to predict assembly time and market value from assembly models. This was done by converting the assembly models into bipartite graphs and extracting 29 graph complexity metrics which were used to train the ANN prediction models. This paper presents the use of sub-assembly models instead of the entire assembly model to predict assembly quality defects at an automotive OEM. The size of the training set, order of the bipartite graph, selection of training set, and defect type were experimentally studied. With a training size of 28 parts, an interpolation focused training set selection, and second order graph seeding, over 70% of the predictions were within 100% of the target value. The study shows that with an increase in training size and careful selection of training sets, assembly defects can be predicted reliably from sub-assemblies complexity data.

This paper presents the use of subassembly models instead of the entire assembly model to predict assembly quality defects at an automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Specifically, artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used to predict assembly time and market value from assembly models. These models were converted into bipartite graphs from which 29 graph complexity metrics were extracted to train 18,900 ANN prediction models. The size of the training set, order of the bipartite graph, selection of training set, and defect type were experimentally studied. With a training size of 28 parts, an interpolation focused training set selection with a second-order graph seeding ensured that 70% of all predictions were within 100% of the target value. The study shows that with an increase in training size and careful selection of training sets, assembly defects can be predicted reliably from subassemblies' complexity data.

This article involves the site specific determination of an outdoor path loss model and Signal penetration level in some selected modern residential and office apartments in Ogbomosho, Oyo State. Measurements of signal strength and its associated location parameters referenced globally were carried out. Propagation path loss characteristics of Ogbomosho were investigated using three different locations with distinctively different yet modern building materials. Consequently, received signal strength (RSS) was measured at a distance d in meters, from appropriate base stations for various environments investigated. The data were analyzed to determine the propagation path loss exponent, signal penetration level and path loss characteristics. From calculations, the average building penetration losses were, 5.93dBm, 6.40dBm and 6.1dBm outside the hollow blocks B1, solid blocks B2 and hollow blocks mixed with pre cast asbestos B3, buildings respectively with a corresponding path loss exponent values of, 3.77, 3.80 and 3.63. Models were developed and validated, and used to predict the received power inside specific buildings. Moreover, the propagation models developed for the different building types can be used to predict the respective signal level within the building types, once the transmitter – receiver distance is known. The readings obtained from the developed models were compared with both the measured values and values computed using some existing models with satisfactory results obtained.

Different subset selection methods are examined to guide catalyst selection in optimization campaigns. Error assessment methods are used to quantitatively inform selection of new catalyst candidates from in silico libraries of catalyst structures.
