Artificial neural network (ANN) technique has been applied for estimation of vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for eight binary refrigerant systems. The refrigerants include difluoromethane (R32), propane (R290), 1,1-difluoroethane (R152a), hexafluoroethane (R116), decafluorobutane (R610), 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R123), 1-chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (R124), and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134a). The related experimental data of open literature have been used to construct the model. Furthermore, some new experimental data (not applied in ANN training) have been used to examine the reliability of the model. The results confirm that there is a reasonable conformity between the predicted values and the experimental data. Additionally, the ability of the ANN model is examined by comparison with the conventional thermodynamic models. Moreover, the presented model is capable of predicting the azeotropic condition.

A prediction model of deflection is presented. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is adopted, and ANN establishes the mapping relation between the clamping forces and the position of fixing and the value of deflection. The results of simulation of Abaqus software is used for Training and querying an ANN. The predicted values are in agreement with simulated data and experimental data.

In this work, an extensive experimental data of Nansulate coating from NanoTechInc were applied to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model. The Levenberg–Marquart algorithm has been used in network training to predict and calculate the energy gain and energy saving of Nansulate coating. By comparing the obtained results from ANN model with experimental data, it was observed that there is more qualitative and quantitative agreement between ANN model values and experimental data results. Furthermore, the developed ANN model shows more accurate prediction over a wide range of operating conditions. Also, maximum relative error of 3% was observed by comparison of experimental and ANN simulation results.

Closed cell polymeric foams are widely used in sport and medical equipments. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) based inverse finite element (FE) program has been developed and used to predict the nonlinear material properties of EVA foams with multiple layers. A 2-D parametric FE model was developed and validated against experimental data. Systematic data from FE simulations was used to train and validate the ANN model. The accuracy and validity of the ANN method were assessed based on both blind tests and experimental data. Results showed that the proposed artificial neural network model is robust and efficient in predicating the nonlinear parameters of foam materials.

Unplanned patient readmission (UPRA) is frequent and costly in healthcare settings. No indicators during hospitalization have been suggested to clinicians as useful for identifying patients at high risk of UPRA. This study aimed to create a prediction model for the early detection of 14-day UPRA of patients with pneumonia. We downloaded the data of patients with pneumonia as the primary disease (e.g., ICD-10:J12*-J18*) at three hospitals in Taiwan from 2016 to 2018. A total of 21,892 cases (1208 (6%) for UPRA) were collected. Two models, namely, artificial neural network (ANN) and convolutional neural network (CNN), were compared using the training (n = 15,324; ≅70%) and test (n = 6568; ≅30%) sets to verify the model accuracy. An app was developed for the prediction and classification of UPRA. We observed that (i) the 17 feature variables extracted in this study yielded a high area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.75 using the ANN model and that (ii) the ANN exhibited better AUC (0.73) than the CNN (0.50), and (iii) a ready and available app for predicting UHA was developed. The app could help clinicians predict UPRA of patients with pneumonia at an early stage and enable them to formulate preparedness plans near or after patient discharge from hospitalization.

Abstract Lime is a significant material in many industrial processes, including steelmaking by blast furnace. Lime production through rotary kilns is a standard method in industries, yet it has depreciation, high energy consumption, and environmental pollution. A model of the lime production process can help to not only increase our knowledge and awareness but also can help reduce its disadvantages. This paper presents a black-box model by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the lime production process considering pre-heater, rotary kiln, and cooler parameters. To this end, actual data are collected from Zobahan Isfahan Steel Company, Iran, which consists of 746 data obtained in a duration of one year. The proposed model considers 23 input variables, predicting the amount of produced lime as an output variable. The ANN parameters such as number of hidden layers, number of neurons in each layer, activation functions, and training algorithm are optimized. Then, the sensitivity of the optimum model to the input variables is investigated. Top-three input variables are selected on the basis of one-group sensitivity analysis and their interactions are studied. Finally, an ANN model is developed considering the top-three most effective input variables. The mean square error of the proposed models with 23 and 3 inputs are equal to 0.000693 and 0.004061, respectively, which shows a high prediction capability of the two proposed models.

The concentration of carbonyl is one of the most important properties contributing to the detection of the thermal aging of polymer ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). In this publication, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict concentration of carbenyl during the thermal aging of EPDM using a database consisting of seven input variables. The best fitting training data was obtained with the architecture of (7 inputs neurons, 10 hidden neurons and 1 output neuron). A Levenberg Marquardt learning (LM) algorithm, hyperbolic tangent transfer function were used at the hidden and output layer respectively. The optimal ANN was obtained with a high correlation coefficient R= 0.995 and a very low root mean square error RMSE = 0.0148 mol/l during the generalization phase. The comparison between the experimental and calculated results show that the ANN model is able of predicted the concentration of carbonyl during the thermal aging of ethylene propylene diene monomer

Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) or commonly called coronavirus. This virus spreads very quickly and even almost infects the whole world, including Indonesia. A large number of cases and the rapid spread of this virus make people worry and even fear the increasing spread of the Covid-19 virus. Information about this virus has also been spread on various social media, one of which is Twitter. Various public opinions regarding the Covid-19 virus are also widely expressed on Twitter. Opinions on a tweet contain positive or negative sentiments. Sentiments of sentiment contained in a tweet can be used as material for consideration and evaluation for the government in dealing with the Covid-19 virus. Based on these problems, a sentiment analysis classification is needed to find out public opinion on the Covid-19 virus. This research uses Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm with the Backpropagation method. The results of this test get 88.62% accuracy, 91.5% precision, and 95.73% recall. The results obtained show that the ANN model is quite good for classifying text mining.
