Self-healing concrete is described as the capability of material to repair their cracks independently. Cracks in concrete are well-known circumstance because of their short tensile strength. Many researchers carried out their research on self-healing concrete using different classification and clustering methods. But the temperature variation and pH variation were not minimized. In order to address these problems, a Multivariate Logistic Regressed Chi-Square Deep Recurrent Neural Network based Self-Healing (MLRCSDRNN-SH) Method is introduced. The main aim of MLRCSDRNN-SH method is to improve building structures strength through inducing the micro-bacteria in concrete. Multiple Logistic Regressed Chi-Square Deep Recurrent Neural Network (MLRCSDRNN) is used to revise bacteria’s stress-strain behaviour towards enhanced material strength in the MLRCSDRNN-SH approach. Initially, the bacteria selection is carried out in alkaline environment like Bacillus subtilis, E. coli and Pseudomonas sps. The data sample is given to the input layer. The input layer transmits sample to the hidden layer 1. The regression analysis is carried out between the multiple independent variables (i.e., parameters) using multivariate logistic function for improving the building structure strength. The regressed value is transmitted to the hidden layer 2. The pearson chi-squared independence hypothesis is performed to identify the probability of crack self-healing property for increasing the building structure strength. When probability value is higher, then the building structure strength is high. Otherwise, the output of second hidden layer is feedback to the input of hidden layer 1. The mixture with higher strength of building structure is sent to the output layer. Several specimens have different sizes used by various researchers for bacterial material study in comparison with the concrete. Depending on experimental results, compressive strength restoration proved higher self-healing ability of the concrete.

In an effort to forecast the planetary Kp-index beyond the current 1-hour and 4-hour predictions, a recurrent neural network is trained on three decades of historical data from NASA’s Omni virtual observatory and forecasts Kp with a prediction horizon of up to 24 h. Using Matlab’s neural network toolbox, the multilayer perceptron model is trained on inputs comprised of Kp for a given time step as well as from different sets of the following six solar wind parameters, Bz, n, V, |B|, σB and $ {\sigma }_{{B}_z}$. The purpose of this study was to test which combination of the solar wind and Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) parameters used for training gives the best performance as defined by correlation coefficient, C, between the predicted and actually measured Kp values and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The model consists of an input layer, a single nonlinear hidden layer with 28 neurons, and a linear output layer that predicts Kp up to 24 h in advance. For 24 h prediction, the network trained on Bz, n, V, |B|, σB performs the best giving C in the range from 0.8189 (for 31 predictions) to 0.8211 (for 9 months of predictions), with the smallest RMSE.

The study of the robust fatigue feature learning method for the driver’s operational behavior is of great significance for improving the performance of the real-time detection system for driver’s fatigue state. Aiming at how to extract more abstract and deep features in the driver’s direction operation data in the robust feature learning, this article constructs a fuzzy recurrent neural network model, which includes input layer, fuzzy layer, hidden layer, and output layer. The steering-wheel direction sensing time series sends the time series to the input layer through a fixed time window. After the fuzzification process, it is sent to the hidden layer to share the weight of the hidden layer, realize the memorization of the fatigue feature, and improve the feature depth capability of the steering wheel angle time sequence. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an average recognition rate of 87.30% in the fatigue sample database of real vehicle conditions, which indicates that the model has strong robustness to different subjects under real driving conditions. The model proposed in this article has important theoretical and engineering significance for studying the prediction of fatigue driving under real driving conditions.

BACKGROUND Cancer is one of the deadly diseases prevailing worldwide and the patients with cancer are rescued only when the cancer is detected at the very early stage. Early detection of cancer is essential as, in the final stage, the chance of survival is limited. The symptoms of cancers are rigorous and therefore, all the symptoms should be studied properly before the diagnosis. OBJECTIVE Propose an automatic prediction system for classifying cancer to malignant or benign. METHODS This paper introduces the novel strategy based on the JayaAnt lion optimization-based Deep recurrent neural network (JayaALO-based DeepRNN) for cancer classification. The steps followed in the developed model are data normalization, data transformation, feature dimension detection, and classification. The first step is the data normalization. The goal of data normalization is to eliminate data redundancy and to mitigate the storage of objects in a relational database that maintains the same information in several places. After that, the data transformation is carried out based on log transformation that generates the patterns using more interpretable and helps fulfill the supposition, and to reduce skew. Also, the non-negative matrix factorization is employed for reducing the feature dimension. Finally, the proposed JayaALO-based DeepRNN method effectively classifies cancer-based on the reduced dimension features to produce a satisfactory result. RESULTS The proposed JayaALO-based DeepRNN showed improved results with maximal accuracy of 95.97%, the maximal sensitivity of 95.95%, and the maximal specificity of 96.96%. CONCLUSIONS The resulted output of the proposed JayaALO-based DeepRNN is used for cancer classification.

This study aims to explore the effect of kurtosis level of the data in the output layer on the accuracy of artificial neural network predictive models. The artificial neural network predictive models are comprised of one node in the output layer and six nodes in the input layer. The number of hidden layer is automatically built by the program. Data are generated using simulation approach. The results show that the kurtosis level of the node in the output layer is significantly affect the accuracy of the artificial neural network predictive model. Platycurtic and leptocurtic data has significantly higher misclassification rates than mesocurtic data. However, the misclassification rates between platycurtic and leptocurtic is not significantly different. Thus, data distribution with kurtosis nearly to zero results in a better ANN predictive model.
