This article discusses one of the ways to generate a common cryptographic key using synchronized artificial neural networks. This option is based on a combined method of forming a cryptographic key [1]. The proposed combined formation consists of two stages: the formation of partially coinciding binary sequences using synchronized artificial neural networks and the elimination of mismatched bits by open comparison of the parities of bit pairs. The purpose of this article is to increase the cryptographic strength of this method in relation to a cryptanalyst. In this regard, it is proposed to prematurely interrupt the synchronization process at the first stage of the combined method and make changes to the resulting binary sequence by randomly inverting a certain number of bits. To confirm the quality of this method, possible attacks are considered and the scale of enumeration of possible values is illustrated. The results obtained showed that the combined method of forming a cryptographic key with a secret modification of the synchronization results of artificial neural networks, proposed in this article, provides its high cryptographic strength, commensurate with the cryptographic strength of modern symmetric encryption algorithms, with a relatively simple implementation.

А combined method for forming a cryptographic key is proposed in the article. The proposed combined formation consists of two stages: the formation of partially coinciding binary sequences using synchronized artificial neural networks and the elimination of mismatched bits by open comparison of the parities of bit pairs. In this paper, possible vulnerabilities of the basic method of forming a cryptographic key using synchronized artificial neural networks are considered, their danger is assessed, and a correction of the method is proposed to ensure the required confidentiality of the generated shared secret. At the first stage, a deferred brute-force attack is considered. To neutralize this attack, it is proposed to use the convolution function of the results of several independent synchronizations. As a convolution function, the bitwise addition modulo 2 of the vectors of the weights of the networks is used. Due to the correction of the first stage of the basic algorithm, the amount of deferred search exponentially increases, and frequency analysis of binary sequences also becomes ineffective. At the second stage, an attack based on the knowledge of pair parities is considered, taking into account the proposed method for correcting the first stage. The analysis of the influence of network parameters on the process of eliminating the bit mismatch at the second stage is carried out. Statistical modeling of this analysis has been performed. The results obtained showed that the cryptanalyst could not uniquely distinguish the values of the remaining bits. The proposed combined method makes it possible to increase the confidentiality of the generated shared secret and significantly reduce the number of information exchanges in comparison with the Neural key generation technology.

The paper presents the optimisation of thin-walled composite structures on a representative sample of a thin-walled column made of carbon laminate with a channel section-type profile. The optimisation consisted of determining the configuration of laminate layers for which the tested structure has the greatest resistance to the loss of stability. The optimisation of the layer configuration was performed using two methods. The first method, divided into two stages to reduce the time, was to determine the optimum arrangement angle in each laminate layer using finite element methods (FEM). The second method employed artificial neural networks for predicting critical buckling force values and the creation of an optimisation tool. Artificial neural networks were combined into groups of networks, thereby improving the quality of the obtained results and simplifying the obtained neural networks. The results from computations were verified against the results obtained from the experiment. The optimisation was performed using ABAQUS® and STATISTICA® software.

Wind forecasting is one of the best efficient ways to deal with the challenges of wind power generation. Due to the depletion of fossil fuels renewable energy sources plays a major role for the generation of power. For future management and for future utilization of power, we need to predict the wind speed.  In this paper, an efficient hybrid forecasting approach with the combination of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) are proposed to improve the quality of prediction of wind speed. Due to the different parameters of wind, it is difficult to find the accurate prediction value of the wind speed. The proposed hybrid model of forecasting is examined by taking the hourly wind speed of past years data by reducing the prediction error with the help of Mean Square Error by 0.019. The result obtained from the Artificial Neural Networks improves the forecasting quality.

Recently, process control in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is, mostly accomplished through examining the quality of the water effluent and adjusting the processes through the operator’s experience. This practice is inefficient, costly and slow in control response. A better control of WTPs can be achieved by developing a robust mathematical tool for performance prediction. Due to their high accuracy and quite promising application in the field of engineering, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are attracting attention in the domain of WWTP predictive performance modeling. This work focuses on applying ANN with a feed-forward, back propagation learning paradigm to predict the effluent water quality of the Habesha brewery WTP. Data of influent and effluent water quality covering approximately an 11-month period (May 2016 to March 2017) were used to develop, calibrate and validate the models. The study proves that ANN can predict the effluent water quality parameters with a correlation coefficient (R) between the observed and predicted output values reaching up to 0.969. Model architecture of 3-21-3 for pH and TN, and 1-76-1 for COD were selected as optimum topologies for predicting the Habesha Brewery WTP performance. The linear correlation between predicted and target outputs for the optimal model architectures described above were 0.9201 and 0.9692, respectively.

The objective of this contribution is to prepare a methodology of using artificial neural networks for equalizing time series when considering seasonal fluctuations on the example of the Czech Republic import from the People´s Republic of China. If we focus on the relation of neural networks and time series, it is possible to state that both the purpose of time series themselves and the nature of all the data are what matters. The purpose of neural networks is to record the process of time series and to forecast individual data points in the best possible way. From the discussion part it follows that adding other variables significantly improves the quality of the equalized time series. Not only the performance of the networks is very high, but the individual MLP networks are also able to capture the seasonal fluctuations in the development of the monitored variable, which is the CR import from the PRC.

The pitfalls inherent in the indiscriminate application of artificial neural networks to numerical modeling problems are illustrated. An example is used of an apparently successful (but ultimately unsuccessful) attempt at training a neural network constitutive model for computing the resilient modulus of gravels as a function of stress state and various material properties. Issues such as the quantity and quality of data needed to successfully train a neural network are explored, and the importance of an independent test set to verify network performance is examined.
