It is known that oil in reservoir conditions is characterized by the content of a certain amount of dissolved gas. As reservoir pressure decreases this gas is released from oil significantly changing its physical properties, primarily its density and viscosity. In addition, the oil volume also reduces, sometimes by 50–60 %. In this regard, when calculating reserves, it is necessary to justify the reduction amount of the reservoir oil volume when oil is extracted to the surface. For this purpose, the concept of formation volume factor of reservoir oil has been introduced. The formation volume factor of oil is considered one of the main characterizing parameters of crude oil. It is also required for modeling and predicting the characteristics of an oil reservoir. The purpose of the present work is to develop a new empirical correlation for predicting the formation volume factor of reservoir oil using artificial intelligence methods based on MATLAB software, such as: an artificial neural network, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and a support vector machine. The article presents a new empirical correlation extracted from the artificial neural network based on 503 experimental data points for oils from the Eastern Siberia field, which was able to predict the formation volume factor of oil with the correlation coefficient of 0.969 and average absolute error of less than 1 %. The conducted study shows that the prediction accuracy of the desired parameter in the developed artificial intelligence model exceeds the accuracy of study results obtained by conventional statistical methods. Moreover, the model can be useful in the prospect of process optimization in field planning and development.

Abstract Splash erosion, as the first step of soil erosion, causes the movement of the soil particles and lumps and is considered an important process in soil erosion. Given the complexity of this process in nature, one way of identifying and modeling the process is to use a rainfall simulator and to study it under laboratory circumstances. For this purpose, transported material was measured with various rainfall intensities and different amounts of poly-acryl-amide. In the next step, artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and support vector machine (SVM) were used to model the transported materials. The results showed that among the three methods, the best values of evaluation criteria were related to SVM, and ANFIS respectively. Among the three studied durations, the experiment with a duration of 30 minutes received the best results. The results based on available data showed by increasing the number of membership functions, over-fitting happens in the ANFIS method. To reduce the complexity of the model and the likelihood of over-fitting, some rules were eliminated. The results showed that the performance of the model improved by eliminating some rules.

The main aim of this study is usability evaluation of different approaches, including response surface methodoloy, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and artificial neural network models to predict and evaluate the bonding strength of glued laminated timber (glulam) manufactured using walnut wood layers and a natural adhesive (oxidized starch adhesive), with respect to this fact that using the modified starch can decrease the formaldehyde emission. In this survey, four variables taken as the input data include the molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea (1.12–1.52), nanocellulose content (0%–4%, based on the dry weight of the adhesive), the mass ratio of the oxidized starch adhesive to the urea formaldehyde resin (30:70–70:30), and the press time (4–8 min). In order to find the best predictive performance of each selected evaluation approach, different membership functions were used. The optimal results were obtained when the molar ratio, nanocellulose content, mass ratio of the oxidised starch, and press time were set at 1.22, 3%, 70:30, and 7 min, respectively. Based on the performance criteria including root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) obtained from the modeling of response surface methodology, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference network, and artificial neural network, it became evident that response surface methodology could offer a better prediction of the response with the lowest level of errors. Beside, artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system support the response surface methodology approach to evaluate bonding strength response with high precision as well as to determine the optimal point in fabrication of laminated products.

<span>Inverse kinematics of manipulator comprises the computation required to find the joint angles for a given Cartesian position and orientation of the end effector. There is no unique solution for the inverse kinematics thus necessitating application of appropriate predictive models from the soft computing domain. Artificial neural network and adaptive neural fuzzy inference system techniques can be gainfully used to yield the desired results. This paper proposes structured artificial neural network (ANN) model and adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to find the inverse kinematics solution of robot manipulator. The ANN model used is a multi-layered perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN). Wherein, gradient descent type of learning rules is applied. An attempt has been made to find the best ANN configuration for the problem. It is found that ANFIS gives better result and minimum error as compared to ANN.</span>
