The active cervical range of motion (aROM) is assessed by clinicians to inform their decision-making. Even with the ability of neck motion to discriminate injured from non-injured subjects, the mechanisms to explain recovery or persistence of WAD remain unclear. There are few studies of ROM examinations with precision tools using kinematics as predictive factors of recovery rate. The present paper will evaluate the performance of an artificial neural network (ANN) using kinematic variables to predict the overall change of aROM after a period of rehabilitation in WAD patients. To achieve this goal the neck kinematics of a cohort of 1082 WAD patients (55.1% females), with mean age 37.68 (SD 12.88) years old, from across Spain were used. Prediction variables were the kinematics recorded by the EBI® 5 in routine biomechanical assessments of these patients. These include normalized ROM, speed to peak and ROM coefficient of variation. The improvement of aROM was represented by the Neck Functional Holistic Analysis Score (NFHAS). A supervised multi-layer feed-forward ANN was created to predict the change in NFHAS. The selected architecture of the ANN showed a mean squared error of 308.07–272.75 confidence interval for a 95% in the Monte Carlo cross validation. The performance of the ANN was tested with a subsample of patients not used in the training. This comparison resulted in a medium correlation with R = 0.5. The trained neural network to predict the expected difference in NFHAS between baseline and follow up showed modest results. While the overall performance is moderately correlated, the error of this prediction is still too large to use the method in clinical practice. The addition of other clinically relevant factors could further improve prediction performance.

A State-of-Charge (SOC) real-time estimation plays an essential role in effective energy management. This paper proposes the use of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to design a state-of-charge estimator for a Graphite/LiCoO2 lithium-ion battery pack. The software MATLAB was used to develop and test several network configurations to find the ideal weights for the ANN. The results demonstrate that the Mean Squared Error (MSE) achieved renders the ANN as an effective technique. Thus, it predicted the battery bank’s SOC values with accuracy using only voltage, current, and charge/discharge time as inputs.

Inflasi merupakan indikator makro ekonomi yang sangat penting. Berbagai macam metoda prediksi inflasi Indonesia telah dipublikasikan. Namun pencarian metoda prediksi inflasi yang lebih akurat masih menjadi topik menarik. Pada penulisan ini diusulkan sebuah metoda baru untuk prediksi inflasi memakai model ARIMA dan Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Data inflasi yang digunakan adalah data inflasi bulanan year-on-year dari tahun 2010 sampai dengan tahun 2018 yang diterbitkan oleh Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS). Pertama dibuat 2 model ARIMA yaitu model ARIMA tanpa siklus tahunan dan dengan siklus tahunan. Prosedur standar dan diagostics test telah dilakukan antara lain: summary of statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), significance of coefficients test, residuals normality, heterocesdacity, dan stability. Dari hasil perbandingan kinerja memakai Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) diperoleh bahwa model ARIMA dengan siklus tahunan lebih baik. Model tersebut berupa model ARIMA (2,1,0) (2,0,0) [12]. Kemudian, untuk meningkatkan kinerja prediksi inflasi, ANN telah dibuat berbasis model ARIMA tersebut. Model ANN memakai satu hidden layer dan dua neuron. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa model ANN menghasilkan RMSE yang lebih kecil daripada model ARIMA (2,1,0) (2,0,0) [12]. Hal ini kemungkinan disebabkan oleh kemampuan mengolah hubungan nonlinear antara variabel target dan variabel penjelas.

This paper focuses on the nonlinear aeroelastic system identification method based on an artificial neural network (ANN) that uses time-delay and feedback elements. A typical two-dimensional wing section with control surface is modelled to illustrate the proposed identification algorithm. The response of the system, which applies a sine-chirp input signal on the control surface, is computed by time-marching-integration. A time-delay recurrent neural network (TDRNN) is employed and trained to predict the pitch angle of the system. The chirp and sine excitation signals are used to verify the identified system. Estimation results of the trained neural network are compared with numerical simulation values. Two types of structural nonlinearity are studied, cubic-spring and friction. The results indicate that the TDRNN can approach the nonlinear aeroelastic system exactly.

Wind power, as a renewable energy resource, has taken much attention of the energy authorities in many countries, as it is used as one of the major energy sources to satisfy the ever-increasing energy demand. However, careful attention is needed in identifying the wind power potential in a particular area due to climate changes. In this sense, forecasting both wind power generation and wind power potential is essential. This paper develops artificial neural network (ANN) models to forecast wind power generation in “Pawan Danawi”, a functioning wind farm in Sri Lanka. Wind speed, wind direction, and ambient temperature of the area were used as the independent variable matrices of the developed ANN models, while the generated wind power was used as the dependent variable. The models were tested with three training algorithms, namely, Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG), and Bayesian Regularization (BR) training algorithms. In addition, the model was calibrated for five validation percentages (5% to 25% in 5% intervals) under each algorithm to identify the best training algorithm with the most suitable training and validation percentages. Mean squared error (MSE), coefficient of correlation (R), root mean squared error ratio (RSR), Nash number, and BIAS were used to evaluate the performance of the developed ANN models. Results revealed that all three training algorithms produce acceptable predictions for the power generation in the Pawan Danawi wind farm with R > 0.91, MSE < 0.22, and BIAS < 1. Among them, the LM training algorithm at 70% of training and 5% of validation percentages produces the best forecasting results. The developed models can be effectively used in the prediction of wind power at the Pawan Danawi wind farm. In addition, the models can be used with the projected climatic scenarios in predicting the future wind power harvest. Furthermore, the models can acceptably be used in similar environmental and climatic conditions to identify the wind power potential of the area.

Computational Intelligence offers solution to various real life problems. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has the capability of solving highly complex and nonlinear problems. The present chapter demonstrates the application of these tools to provide solutions to the manhole gas detection problem. Manhole, the access point across sewer pipeline system, contains various toxic and explosive gases. Hence, predetermination of these gases before accessing manholes is becoming imperative. The problem is treated as a pattern recognition problem. ANN, devised for solving this problem, is trained using a supervised learning algorithm. The conjugate gradient method is used as an alternative of back propagation neural network learning algorithm for training of the ANN. The chapter offers comprehensive performance analysis of the learning algorithm used for the training of ANN followed by discussion on the methods of presenting the system result. The authors discuss different variants of Conjugate Gradient and propose two new variants of it.

The main objective of studying decentralized supply chains is to demonstrate that a better interfirm collaboration can lead to a better overall performance of the system. Many researchers studied a phenomenon called downstream demand inference (DDI), which presents an effective demand management strategy to deal with forecast problems. DDI allows the upstream actor to infer the demand received by the downstream one without information sharing. Recent study showed that DDI is possible with simple moving average (SMA) forecast method and was verified especially for an autoregressive AR(1) demand process. This chapter extends the strategy's results by developing mean squared error and average inventory level expressions for causal invertible ARMA(p,q) demand under DDI strategy, no information sharing (NIS), and forecast information sharing (FIS) strategies. The authors analyze the sensibility of the performance metrics in respect with lead-time, SMA, and ARMA(p,q) parameters, and compare DDI results with the NIS and FIS strategies' results.

In this chapter a novel method, the Genetic Neural Mathematical Method (GNMM), for the prediction of longitudinal dispersion coefficient is presented. This hybrid method utilizes Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to identify variables that are being input into a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN), which simplifies the neural network structure and makes the training process more efficient. Once input variables are determined, GNMM processes the data using an MLP with the back-propagation algorithm. The MLP is presented with a series of training examples and the internal weights are adjusted in an attempt to model the input/output relationship. GNMM is able to extract regression rules from the trained neural network. The effectiveness of GNMM is demonstrated by means of case study data, which has previously been explored by other authors using various methods. By comparing the results generated by GNMM to those presented in the literature, the effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated.

Tribotesting is necessary to understand the behaviour of the material under various operating lubrication conditions. This paper deals with the training of an artificial neural network (ANN) model with Bio-lubricant properties and machining conditions for prediction of surface roughness and coefficient of friction in Tribotesting by Tool chip Tribometer. Experimental results obtained from Tool chip tribometer for tested bio-lubricants are compared with those obtained by ANN prediction. A good agreement in results recommends that a well trained neural network is competent enough to predict the parameters in Tribotesting process.
