There is an eye disease called Keratoconus (KC) which has potential to cause visual acuity loss; hence, it can be considered as disability due to its severity. There are some limitations in current method in detecting cornea region’s boarder edge. Primary objective for the   paper need to identify the structural description of disease’ asymmetry with the help of Morpho-geometric parameters relates with the keratoconous eyes along by means of slight visual control. It also includes the application of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) analysis which is sort of Neural Network in which previous step’s output are sent to present step as an input. In order to determine most prominent correlation, Stepwise Discriminant Function Analysis is used in analyzing output. The Prominent correlation was identified between thinnest point in the anterior deviation and thinnest point in the posterior deviations of minor keratoconic cases. MATLAB R2014 software is used to implement the framework and analyses of simulation results were performed.

AbstractThis paper investigates the use of neural networks (NNs) for the problem of assigning push boats to barge convoys in inland waterway transportation (IWT). Push boat–barge convoy assignmentsare part of the daily decision-making process done by dispatchers in IWT companiesforwhich a decision support tool does not exist. The aim of this paper is to develop a Neural Network Ensemble (NNE) model that will be able to assist in push boat–barge convoy assignments based on the push boat power.The primary objective of this paper is to derive an NNE model for calculation of push boat Shaft Powers (SHPs) by using less than 100% of the experimental data available. The NNE model is applied to a real-world case of more than one shipping company from the Republic of Serbia, which is encountered on the Danube River. The solution obtained from the NNE model is compared toreal-world full-scale speed/power measurements carried out on Serbian push boats, as well as with the results obtained from the previous NNE model. It is found that the model is highly accurate, with scope for further improvements.

An intelligent evaluation method is presented to analyze the competitiveness of airlines. From the perspective of safety, service, and normality, we establish the competitiveness indexes of traffic rights and the standard sample base. The self-organizing mapping (SOM) neural network is utilized to self-organize and self-learn the samples in the state of no supervision and prior knowledge. The training steps of high convergence speed and high clustering accuracy are determined based on the multistep setting. The typical airlines index data are utilized to verify the effect of the self-organizing mapping neural network on the airline competitiveness analysis. The simulation results show that the self-organizing mapping neural network can accurately and effectively classify and evaluate the competitiveness of airlines, and the results have important reference value for the allocation of traffic rights resources.

The V-shaped electro-thermal MEMS actuator model, with the human error factor taken into account, is presented in this paper through the cascading ANSYS simulation model and the Fuzzy mathematics calculation model. The Fuzzy mathematics calculation model introduces the human error factor into the MEMS actuator model by using the BP neural network, which effectively reduces the error between ANSYS simulation results and experimental results to less than 1%. Meanwhile, the V-shaped electro-thermal MEMS actuator model, with the human error factor included, will become more accurate as the database of the V-shaped electro-thermal actuator model grows.

In order to accurately and conveniently identify the shearer running status, a novel approach based on the integration of rough sets (RS) and improved wavelet neural network (WNN) was proposed. The decision table of RS was discretized through genetic algorithm and the attribution reduction was realized by MIBARK algorithm to simply the samples of WNN. Furthermore, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm was proposed to optimize the parameters of WNN and the flowchart of proposed approach was designed. Then, a simulation example was provided and some comparisons with other methods were carried out. The simulation results indicated that the proposed approach was feasible and outperforming others. Finally, an industrial application example of mining automation production was demonstrated to verify the effect of proposed system.

A method for improving the performance of artificial neural networks for linear and nonlinear programming is presented. By analyzing the behavior of the conventional penalty function, the reason for the inherent degenerating accuracy is discovered. Based on this, a new combination penalty function is proposed which can ensure that the equilibrium point is acceptably close to the optimal point. A known neural network model has been modified by using the new penalty function and the corresponding circuit scheme is given. Simulation results show that the relative error for linear and nonlinear programming is substantially reduced by the new method.

The National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) at the George Washington University simulated the crash of a 2,270-kg Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck into a standard 32-in. New Jersey shape concrete barrier under the requirements of Test 3–11 of the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). The new, detailed finite element (FE) model for the Chevrolet Silverado was used as the surrogate for the MASH 2270P test vehicle. An FE model of the New Jersey barrier was drawn from the array of NCAC hardware models. The primary objective of this analysis was to simulate the crash test conducted to evaluate how this commonly used, NCHRP 350–approved device would perform under the more rigorous MASH crashworthiness criteria. A secondary objective was to use newly developed verification and validation (V&V) procedures to compare the results of the detailed simulation with the results of crash tests undertaken as part of another project. The crash simulation was successfully executed with the detailed Silverado FE model and NCAC models of the New Jersey concrete barrier. Traditional comparisons of the simulation results and the data derived from the crash test suggested that the modeling provided viable results. Further comparisons employing the V&V procedures provided a structured assessment across multiple factors reflected in the phenomena importance ranking table. Statistical measures of the accuracy of the test in comparison with simulation results provided a more robust validation than previous approaches. These comparisons further confirmed that the model was able to replicate impacts with a 2270P vehicle, as required by MASH.

AbstractIn the new era, the key measure to accelerate the construction of smart city, so as to promote the modernization of urban governance system and governance capacity, is to establish a good urban innovation ecosystem, and guide its continuous evolution to the direction of the highest efficiency and the best performance. Focusing on solving the practical problem of “how the urban innovation ecosystem evolves”, this paper develops a NK algorithm using BP neural network and DEMATEL method. First, through literature research, constructing the urban innovation ecosystem including five subsystems of innovation talents, innovation subjects, innovation resources, innovation environment and innovation network. Then, taking Beijing as an example, the weights and the number of epistatic relationships of each subsystem in its innovation ecosystem are calculated by BP neural network and DEMATEL method, and the NK model is modified; on this basis, the fitness values corresponding to different states of the system are calculated using MATLAB software, and the optimal evolution path of Beijing innovation ecosystem is determined through the comparison of 100,000 simulation results. The results show that the optimal evolution path of Beijing's innovation ecosystem is to create a favorable environment and culture for innovation first; then increase the input of innovation resources; and then promote the development of innovation network assets; on this basis, cultivate, attract and retain innovative talents; and finally strengthen the construction of innovation subjects.
