The aim of this study is to be able to come up with a supplemental project management policy guidelines and computational tool that will address the two major concerns in construction of low-cost housing, construction delays and workmanship defects. Through assessment of previous studies, factors causing delays and defects from the two major stakeholders involved in housing development projects were identified. With the use of the five-point Likert Scale in survey forms distributed to 60 professionals involved in housing development projects, factors were classified and identified according to its degree of impact on the overall construction efficiency. The statistics of these factors were organized and used to develop an Artificial Neural Network Model. The relative importance of the factors was measured using Garson’s Algorithm. The derived equations from the developed ANN Model were used in formulating the computational tool and supplemental policy guidelines that can now be used to evaluate the workmanship defects and delay ratings of different housing developments. The computational tool was tested by 10 experts with their current projects and was able to receive a 4.6 out of 5 rubric evaluation rating, showing the tool’s effectiveness in identifying and assessing the probability and impact of construction deficiencies on their projects.

This article was under review for ICELTICS 2018 -- In the medical world there is still service dissatisfaction caused by lack of blood type testing facility. If the number of tested blood arise, a lot of problems will occur so that electronic devices are needed to determine the blood type accurately and in short time. In this research we implemented an Artificial Neural Network on Xilinx Spartan 3S1000 Field Programable Gate Array using XSA-3S Board to identify the blood type. This research uses blood sample image as system input. VHSIC Hardware Discription Language is the language to describe the algorithm. The algorithm used is feed-forward propagation of backpropagation neural network. There are 3 layers used in design, they are input, hidden1, and output. At hidden1layer has two neurons. In this study the accuracy of detection obtained are 92%, 92%, 92%, 90% and 86% for 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 80x80, and 96x96 pixel blood image resolution, respectively.

Abstract This paper presents a design of a low-cost integrated system for the preventive detection of unbalance faults in an induction motor. In this regard, two non-invasive measurements have been collected then monitored in real time and transmitted via an ESP32 board. A new bio-flexible piezoelectric sensor developed previously in our laboratory, was used for vibration analysis. Moreover an infrared thermopile was used for non-contact temperature measurement. The data is transmitted via Wi-Fi to a monitoring station that intervenes to detect an anomaly. The diagnosis of the motor condition is realized using an artificial neural network algorithm implemented on the microcontroller. Besides, a Kalman filter is employed to predict the vibrations while eliminating the noise. The combination of vibration analysis, thermal signature analysis and artificial neural network provides a better diagnosis. It ensures efficiency, accuracy, easy access to data and remote control, which significantly reduces human intervention.

The High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is provided with good safety, high quality of thermal source and low cost of power generation in full life cycle. Furthermore, when the helium turbine is used for heat-work conversion, the efficiency of the HTGR is high and up to a magnitude of 50%. One of the key technologies of helium turbine is the helium compressor design. According to the conventional design rule of the air-compressor, the stage number of the helium compressor was too much excessive. Therefore, this thesis has analyzed and optimized a new cascade of helium compressor with enhanced pressure ratio in order to increase the pressure ratio and decrease the stage number. The Artificial Neural Network is used to build the approximate function which is based on database sample space. The Genetic Algorithm is used to search a new design, and the Artificial Neural Network is reused to predict the aerodynamic performance of the new design. The mean camber line and thickness distribution are optimized respectively, and the optimization results show that the total pressure loss coefficient can be reduced by 14.48% than that of the primary.

This study focuses on predicting Australia‘s low cost carrier passenger demand and revenue passenger kilometres performed (RPKs) using traditional econometric and artificial neural network (ANN) modelling methods. For model development, Australia‘s real GDP, real GDP per capita, air fares, Australia‘s population and unemployment, tourism (bed spaces) and 4 dummy variables, utilizing quarterly data obtained between 2002 and 2012, were selected as model parameters. The neural network used multi-layer perceptron (MLP) architecture that compromised a multi-layer feed-forward network and the sigmoid and linear functions were used as activation functions with the feed forward‐back propagation algorithm. The ANN was applied during training, testing and validation and had 11 inputs, 9 neurons in the hidden layers and 1 neuron in the output layer. When comparing the predictive accuracy of the two techniques, the ANNs provided the best prediction and showed that the performance of the ANN model was better than that of the traditional multiple linear regression (MLR) approach. The highest R-value for the enplaned passengers ANN was around 0.996 and for the RPKs ANN was round 0.998, respectively.
