The present study aimed at investigation of deep bed drying of rough rice kernels at various thin layers at different drying air temperatures and flow rates. A comparative study was performed between mathematical thin layer models and artificial neural networks to estimate the drying curves of rough rice. The suitability of nine mathematical models in simulating the drying kinetics was examined and the Midilli model was determined as the best approach for describing drying curves. Different feed forward-back propagation artificial neural networks were examined to predict the moisture content variations of the grains. The ANN with 4-18-18-1 topology, transfer function of hyperbolic tangent sigmoid and a Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation training algorithm provided the best results with the maximum correlation coefficient and the minimum mean square error values. Furthermore, it was revealed that ANN modeling had better performance in prediction of drying curves with lower root mean square error values.

In this study, the growing scientific field of alternative biofuels was examined, with respect to hydrochars produced from renewable biomasses. Hydrochars are the solid products of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and their properties depend on the initial biomass and the temperature and duration of treatment. The basic (Scopus) and advanced (Citespace) analysis of literature showed that this is a dynamic research area, with several sub-fields of intense activity. The focus of researchers on sewage sludge and food waste as hydrochar precursors was highlighted and reviewed. It was established that hydrochars have improved behavior as fuels compared to these feedstocks. Food waste can be particularly useful in co-hydrothermal carbonization with ash-rich materials. In the case of sewage sludge, simultaneous P recovery from the HTC wastewater may add more value to the process. For both feedstocks, results from large-scale HTC are practically non-existent. Following the review, related data from the years 2014–2020 were retrieved and fitted into four different artificial neural networks (ANNs). Based on the elemental content, HTC temperature and time (as inputs), the higher heating values (HHVs) and yields (as outputs) could be successfully predicted, regardless of original biomass used for hydrochar production. ANN3 (based on C, O, H content, and HTC temperature) showed the optimum HHV predicting performance (R2 0.917, root mean square error 1.124), however, hydrochars’ HHVs could also be satisfactorily predicted by the C content alone (ANN1, R2 0.897, root mean square error 1.289).

Neural networks and genetic programming in the investigation of new methods for predicting rainfall in the catchment area of the city of Sari. Various methods are used for prediction, such as the time series model, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, fuzzy Nero, and genetic programming. Results based on statistical indicators of root mean square error and correlation coefficient were studied. The results of the optimal model of genetic programming were compared, the correlation coefficients and the root mean square error 0.973 and 0.034 respectively for training, and 0.964 and 0.057 respectively for the optimal neural network model. Genetic programming has been more accurate than artificial neural networks and is recommended as a good way to accurately predict.

Polyethylene as a thermoplastic has received the uppermost popularity in a vast variety of applied contexts. Polyethylene is produced by several commercially obtainable technologies. Since Ziegler–Natta catalysts generate polyolefin with broad molecular weight and copolymer composition distributions, this type of model was utilized to simulate the polymerization procedure. The EIX (ethylene index) is the critical controlling variable that indicates product characteristics. Since it is difficult to measure the EIX, estimation is a problem causing the greatest challenges in the applicability of production. To resolve such problems, ANNs (artificial neural networks) are utilized in the present paper to predict the EIX from some simply computed variables of the system. In fact, the EIX is calculated as a function of pressure, ethylene flow, hydrogen flow, 1-butane flow, catalyst flow, and TEA (triethylaluminium) flow. The estimation was accomplished via the Multi-Layer Perceptron, Radial Basis, Cascade Feed-forward, and Generalized Regression Neural Networks. According to the results, the superior performance of the Multi-Layer Perceptron model than other ANN models was clearly demonstrated. Based on our findings, this model can predict production levels with R2 (regression coefficient), MSE (mean square error), AARD% (average absolute relative deviation percent), and RMSE (root mean square error) of, respectively, 0.89413, 0.02217, 0.4213, and 0.1489.

<p>This study aims to use an integration of genetic algorithm (GA) model and particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the Deep Learning Neural Networks (DLNN) for groundwater contamination vulnerability. Miryang, a city in the northeastern portion of Gyeongnam Province, South Korea was selected as a case study since it showed urban and rural functions and had undergone groundwater pollution. To initialize the modeling purposes, parameters such as depth to water, net recharge, topographic slope, aquifer type, impact to vadose zone, hydraulic conductivity and land use were classified into numerical classes and used as input variables. Two-hybrid models of DLNN-GA and DLNN-PSO were implemented using 95 measured nitrate concentration from monitoring wells for the training and testing of artificial neural networks. The performance of the hybrid models was evaluated by several statistical criteria of error: Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Average Error (MAE). The hybrid vulnerability models were also validated by the Area Under the curve (AUC). DLNN-PSO showed the highest (AUC=0.974) performance in comparison with DLNN-GA (AUC=0.954) and Shallow Artificial Neural Networks model (AUC=0.70). The results showed that the proposed hybrid models were more superior than the benchmarked shallow artificial neural networks model used for groundwater contamination vulnerability mapping as a good alternative several years ago.</p>

This paper presents an investigation of the capabilities of artificial neural networks (ANN) in predicting some mechanical properties of Ferrite-Martensite dual-phase steels applicable for different industries like auto-making. Using ANNs instead of different destructive and non-destructive tests to determine the material properties, reduces costs and reduces the need for special testing facilities. Networks were trained with use of a back propagation (BP) error algorithm. In order to provide data for training the ANNs, mechanical properties, inter-critical annealing temperature and information about the microstructures of many specimens were examined. After the ANNs were trained, the four parameters of yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, total elongation and the work hardening exponent were simulated. Finally a comparison of the predicted and experimental values indicates that the results obtained from the given input data reveal a good ability of the well-trained ANN to predict the described mechanical properties.
