Abstract Roxarsone (ROX) is an organoarsenic feed additive, and can be discharged into aquatic environment. ROX can photodegrade into more toxic inorganic arsenics, causing arsenic pollution. However, the photodegradation behavior of ROX in aquatic environment is still unclear. To better understand ROX photodegradation behavior, this study investigated the ROX photodegradation mechanism and influencing factors, and modeled the photodegradation process. The results showed that ROX in the aquatic environment was degraded to inorganic As(III) and As(V) under light irradiation. The degradation efficiency was enhanced by 25 % with the increase of light intensity from 300 µW/cm2 to 800 µW/cm2 via indirect photolysis. The photodegradation was temperature dependence, but was only slightly affected by pH. Nitrate ion (NO3−) had an obvious influence, but sulfate, carbonate, and chlorate ions had a negligible effect on ROX degradation. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the solution inhibited the photodegradation. ROX photodegradation was mainly mediated by reactive oxygen species (in the form of single oxygen 1O2) generated through ROX self-sensitization under irradiation. Based on the data of factors affecting ROX photodegradation, ROX photodegradation model was built and trained by an artificial neural network (ANN), and the predicted degradation rate was in good agreement with the real values with a root mean square error of 1.008. This study improved the understanding of ROX photodegradation behavior and provided a basis for controlling the pollution from ROX photodegradation.

Deanship of scientific research established by the King Abdulaziz University provides some research programs for its staff and researchers and encourages them to submit proposals in this regard. Distinct research study (DRS) is one of these programs. It is available all the year and the King Abdulaziz University (KAU) staff can submit more than one proposal at the same time up to three proposals. The rules of the DSR program are simple and easy so it contributes in increasing the international rank of KAU. The authors are offered financial and moral reward after publishing articles from these proposals in Thomson-ISI journals. In this paper, multiplayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) is employed to determine the factors that have more effect on the number of ISI published articles. The proposed study used real data of the finished projects from 2011 to April 2019.

This paper discusses development and application of a decomposition neural network rule extraction algorithm for nonlinear regression problems. The algorithm is called the piece-wise linear artificial neural network or PWL-ANN algorithm. The objective of the algorithm is to “open up” the black box of a neural network model so that rules in the form of linear equations are generated by approximating the sigmoid activation functions of the hidden neurons in an artificial neural network (ANN). The preliminary results showed that the algorithm gives high fidelity and satisfactory results on sixteen of the nineteen tested datasets. By analyzing the values of R2 given by the PWL approximation on the hidden neurons and the overall output, it is evident that in addition to accurate approximation of each individual node of a given ANN model, there are more factors affecting the fidelity of the PWL-ANN algorithm Nevertheless, the algorithm shows promising potential for domains when better understanding about the problem is needed.

Machining of hardened steel at high cutting speeds produces high temperatures in the cutting zone, which affects the surface quality and cutting tool life. Thus, predicting the temperature in early stage becomes utmost importance. This research presents a neural network model for predicting the cutting temperature in the CNC end milling process. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was applied as an effective tool for modeling and predicting the cutting temperature. A set of sparse experimental data for finish end milling on AISI H13 at hardness of 48 HRC have been conducted to measure the cutting temperature. The artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to predict the cutting temperature. Twenty hidden layer has been used with feed forward back propagation hierarchical neural networks were designed with Matlab2009b Neural Network Toolbox. The results show a high correlation between the predicted and the observed temperature which indicates the validity of the models.

During the reform of talent training mode, higher vocational schools must promote and apply modern apprenticeship to meet the needs of intelligent manufacturing. However, most enterprises and schools differ greatly in the participation enthusiasm and implementation motivation for modern apprenticeship. To enhance the participation motivation, it is critical to correctly evaluate the motivation status of enterprises and schools participating in modern apprenticeship, and analyze its key influencing factors. For this reason, this paper employs the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to evaluate such motivation status. Firstly, a Modern Apprenticeship Motivation Status (MAMS) evaluation model was established, along with its evaluation index system (EIS). Then, differences in the motivation status were compared from seven aspects. After that, an improved backpropagation (BP) neural network was built to construct and optimize the MAMS prediction model. Finally, the constructed model was proved valid through experiments.

Artificial neural network (ANN)-based methods belong to one of the most growing research fields within the artificial intelligence ecosystem, and many novel contributions have been developed over the last years. They are applied in many contexts, although some “influencing factors” such as the number of neurons, the number of hidden layers, and the learning rate can impact the performance of the resulting artificial neural network-based applications. This paper provides a deep analysis about artificial neural network performance based on such factors for real-world temperature forecasting applications. An improved back propagation algorithm for such applications is also presented. By using the results of this paper, researchers and practitioners can analyse the encountered issues when applying ANN-based models for their own specific applications with the aim of achieving better performance indexes.

Energy storage systems are fundamental to the activity of intensity frameworks. They guarantee coherence of vitality supply and improve the dependability of the framework. The first area is centered on various energy storage frameworks, considering capacity limit, voltage and current proportions, and energy accessibility. Among the energy storage devices, supercapacitor is widely used because it is a high-limit capacitor with capacitance esteem a large amount than different capacitors. In the supercapacitor we have used MoS2 material synthesized with various Electrolytes. In perspective on the above mentioned, we report an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) strategy to achieve the predictable results. Levenberg- Marquardt feed-forward calculation prepares the neural network. We measure the exhibition of the ANN model with respect to mean square error (MSE) and the relationship coefficient between anticipated yield and yield given by the system. Results confirm the stability of supercapacitor over the other energy storage devices. To show such kind of conduct, we give Synthesis technique, Electrolyte, Cycle Life as an info esteems and Specific limit as yield esteem. For the amalgamation technique info esteem we have taken both compound and physical strategies by normalizing it. The practiced ANN demonstrating confirmations a higher number of concealed neuron design showing ideal execution as respects to expectation exactness

The underground waters in the Mamundiyar basin, India, present real chemical quality problems. Their fluoride content always exceeds the recommended levels. The Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method has been used for spatial interpolation of various key chemical parameters. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling was applied to understand the correlation and sensitivity of all chemical parameters with respect to fluorides. The correlation of all the considered parameters is found to be poor where the highest correlation observed was only 0.37. This result showed that four of the parameters, namely pH, chlorides, sulphates and calcium, were found to have greater capacity of influencing fluorides than the other eight parameters. Chlorides were found to be the parameter that was the most sensitive and most correlated to fluorides.
