One of the most common and augmenting health problems in the world are related to skin. The most  unpredictable and one of the most difficult entities to automatically detect and evaluate is the human skin disease because of complexities of texture, tone, presence of hair and other distinctive features. Many cases of skin diseases in the world have triggered a need to develop an effective automated screening method for detection and diagnosis of the area of disease. Therefore the objective of this work is to develop a new technique for automated detection and analysis of the skin disease images based on color and texture information for skin disease screening. In this paper, system is proposed which detects the skin diseases using Wavelet Techniques and Artificial Neural Network. This paper presents a wavelet-based texture analysis method for classification of five types of skin diseases. The method applies tree-structured wavelet transform on different color channels of red, green and blue dermoscopy images, and employs various statistical measures and ratios on wavelet coefficients. In all 99 unique features are extracted from the image. By using Artificial Neural Network, the system successfully detects different types of dermatological skin diseases. It consists of mainly three phases image processing, training phase, detection  and classification phase.

AbstractCalculation of water influx into petroleum reservoir is a tedious evaluation with significant reservoir engineering applications. The classical approach developed by van Everdingen–Hurst (vEH) based on diffusivity equation solution had been the fulcrum for water influx calculation in both finite and infinite-acting aquifers. The vEH model for edge-water drive reservoirs was modified by Allard and Chen for bottom-water drive reservoirs. Regrettably, these models solution variables: dimensionless influx ($$W_{{{\text{eD}}}}$$ W eD ) and dimensionless pressure ($$P_{D}$$ P D ) were presented in tabular form. In most cases, table look-up and interpolation between time entries are necessary to determine these variables, which makes the vEH approach tedious for water influx estimation. In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) models to predict the reservoir-aquifer variables $$W_{{{\text{eD}}}}$$ W eD and $$P_{D}$$ P D was developed based on the vEH datasets for the edge- and bottom-water finite and infinite-acting aquifers. The overall performance of the developed ANN models correlation coefficients (R) was 0.99983 and 0.99978 for the edge- and bottom-water finite aquifer, while edge- and bottom-water infinite-acting aquifer was 0.99992 and 0.99997, respectively. With new datasets, the generalization capacities of the developed models were evaluated using statistical tools: coefficient of determination (R2), R, mean square error (MSE), root-mean-square error (RMSE) and absolute average relative error (AARE). Comparing the developed finite aquifer models predicted $$W_{{{\text{eD}}}}$$ W eD with Lagrangian interpolation approach resulted in R2, R, MSE, RMSE and AARE of 0.9984, 0.9992, 0.3496, 0.5913 and 0.2414 for edge-water drive and 0.9993, 0.9996, 0.1863, 0.4316 and 0.2215 for bottom-water drive. Also, infinite-acting aquifer models (Model-1) resulted in R2, R, MSE, RMSE and AARE of 0.9999, 0.9999, 0.5447, 0.7380 and 0.2329 for edge-water drive, while bottom-water drive had 0.9999, 0.9999, 0.2299, 0.4795 and 0.1282. Again, the edge-water infinite-acting model predicted $$W_{{{\text{eD}}}}$$ W eD and Edwardson et al. polynomial estimated $$W_{eD}$$ W eD resulted in the R2 value of 0.9996, R of 0.9998, MSE of 4.740 × 10–4, RMSE of 0.0218 and AARE of 0.0147. Furthermore, the developed ANN models generalization performance was compared with some models for estimating $$P_{D}$$ P D . The results obtained for finite aquifer model showed the statistical measures: R2, R, MSE, RMSE and AARE of 0.9985, 0.9993, 0.0125, 0.1117 and 0.0678 with Chatas model and 0.9863, 0.9931, 0.1411, 0.3756 and 0.2310 with Fanchi equation. The infinite-acting aquifer model had 0.9999, 0.9999, 0.1750, 0.0133 and 7.333 × 10–3 with Edwardson et al. polynomial, then 0.9865, 09,933, 0.0143, 0.1194 and 0.0831 with Lee model and 0.9991, 0.9996, 1.079 × 10–3, 0.0328 and 0.0282 with Fanchi model. Therefore, the developed ANN models can predict $$W_{{{\text{eD}}}}$$ W eD and $$P_{D}$$ P D for the various aquifer sizes provided by vEH datasets for water influx calculation.

Background: For the first time in December 2019 as reported in the Whuan city of China COVID-19 deadly virus, spread rapidly around the world and the first cases were seen in Turkey on March 11, 2020. On the same day, a pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization due to the rapid spread of the disease throughout the world. Methods: In this study, a multilayered perception feed-forward back propagation neural network has been designed for predicting the spread and mortality rate of COVID-19 virus in Turkey. COVID-19 data from six different countries were used in the design of the artificial neural network, which has 15 neurons in its hidden layer. 70% of these optimized data were used for training, 20% for validation and 10% for testing. Results: The resulting simulation results, COVID-19 virus in Turkey between 20 and 37 days showed the fastest to rise. The number of cases for the 20th day was predicted to be 13.845 and the 51st day for the 37th day. Conclusion: As for the death rate, it was predicted that a rapid rise on the 20th day would start and a slowdown around the 43rd day and progress towards the zero case point. The death rate for the 20th day was predicted to be 170 and the 43rd day for the 1.960s.

Abstract This research aims to study the association between the daily confirmed COVID − 19 cases in the three major cities of Jordan; Amman, Zarqa, and Irbid and climate indicators to include the average daily temperature (0C), wind speed (m/s), relative humidity (%), pressure (kPa), and the concertation of the four pollutants (CO, NO2, PM10 and SO2). The data were obtained from both the World Air Quality Project website and the Jordanian Ministry of Environment. In this work, the multiple linear regression and feedforward artificial neural network were used for data analysis. It was concluded that the multiple linear regression and feedforward artificial neural network had the capability to forecast the COVID-19 confirmed cases in the case studies; Amman, Irbid and Zarqa. Finally, global sensitivity analysis using Sobol analysis indicated that pressure in Amman and Zarqa and the concentration of NO2 in Irbid has a high rate of positive cases that supports the virus's spread.


This paper introduces a hybrid model using artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) to develop an efficient classification technique for classification of different categories of Erythemato-squamous diseases. Neural network has been extensively used in many applications like classification, regression, web mining, system identification and pattern recognition. Weight optimization in neural network has been a matter of concern for researchers in the field of soft computing. In this paper the weights of ANN are optimized with GA. The proposed hybrid model is applied on the Erythemato-squamous dataset taken from UCI machine learning repository. The dataset contains six different categories: psoriasis, seboreic dermatitis, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, chronic dermatitis and pityriasis rubra pilaris of Erythemato-squamous diseases. The main aim of this paper is to determine the type of Eryhemato-Squamous disease using the hybrid model. The performance of the hybrid model is evaluated using statistical measures like accuracy, specificity and sensitivity. The accuracy of the proposed model is found to be 99.34% on test dataset. The experimental result shows the effectiveness of the hybrid model in classification of Erythematosquamous diseases.
