In the context of the long-term coexistence between COVID-19 and human society, the implementation of personnel health monitoring in construction sites has become one of the urgent needs of current construction management. The installation of infrared temperature sensors on the helmets required to be worn by construction personnel to track and monitor their body temperature has become a relatively inexpensive and reliable means of epidemic prevention and control, but the accuracy of measuring body temperature has always been a problem. This study developed a smart helmet equipped with an infrared temperature sensor and conducted a simulated construction experiment to collect data of temperature and its influencing factors in indoor and outdoor construction operation environments. Then, a Partial Least Square–Back Propagation Neural Network (PLS-BPNN) temperature error compensation model was established to correct the temperature measurement results of the smart helmet. The temperature compensation effects of different models were also compared, including PLS-BPNN with Least Square Regression (LSR), Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR), and single Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) models. The results showed that the PLS-BPNN model had higher accuracy and reliability, and the determination coefficient of the model was 0.99377. After using PLS-BPNN model for compensation, the relative average error of infrared body temperature was reduced by 2.745 °C and RMSE was reduced by 0.9849. The relative error range of infrared body temperature detection was only 0.005~0.143 °C.

In this study, the stability constants of metal-thiosemicarbazone complexes, logb11 were determined by using the quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR) models. The molecular descriptors, physicochemical and quantum descriptors of complexes were generated from molecular geometric structure and semi-empirical quantum calculation PM7 and PM7/sparkle. The QSPR models were built by using the ordinary least square regression (QSPROLS), partial least square regression (QSPRPLS), primary component regression (QSPRPCR) and artificial neural network (QSPRANN). The best linear model QSPROLS (with k of 9) involves descriptors C5, xp9, electric energy, cosmo volume, N4, SsssN, cosmo area, xp10 and core-core repulsion. The QSPRPLS, QSPR PCR and QSPRANN models were developed basing on 9 varibles of the QSPROLS model. The quality of the QSPR models were validated by the statistical values; The QSPROLS: R2train = 0.944, Q2LOO = 0.903 and MSE = 1.035; The QSPRPLS: R2train = 0.929, R2CV = 0.938 and MSE = 1.115; The QSPRPCR: R2train = 0.934, R2CV = 0.9485 and MSE = 1.147. The neural network model QSPRANN with architecture I(9)-HL(12)-O(1) was presented also with the statistical values: R2train = 0.9723, and R2CV = 0.9731. The QSPR models also were evaluated externally and got good performance results with those from the experimental literature.

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a model for estimating the carcass weight of Hanwoo cattle as a function of body measurements using three different modeling approaches: i) multiple regression analysis, ii) partial least square regression analysis, and iii) a neural network.Methods: Data from a total of 134 Hanwoo cattle were obtained from the National Institute of Animal Science in South Korea. Among the 372 variables in the raw data, 20 variables related to carcass weight and body measurements were extracted to use in multiple regression, partial least square regression, and an artificial neural network to estimate the cold carcass weight of Hanwoo cattle by any of seven body measurements significantly related to carcass weight or by all 19 body measurement variables. For developing and training the model, 100 data points were used, whereas the 34 remaining data points were used to test the model estimation.Results: The R2 values from testing the developed models by multiple regression, partial least square regression, and an artificial neural network with seven significant variables were 0.91, 0.91, and 0.92, respectively, whereas all the methods exhibited similar R2 values of approximately 0.93 with all 19 body measurement variables. In addition, relative errors were within 4%, suggesting that the developed model was reliable in estimating Hanwoo cattle carcass weight. The neural network exhibited the highest accuracy.Conclusion: The developed model was applicable for estimating Hanwoo cattle carcass weight using body measurements. Because the procedure and required variables could differ according to the type of model, it was necessary to select the best model suitable for the system with which to calculate the model.

This study analyzed three prediction models: ID model, GM (1,1) model and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model. Firstly, the principles of the three models were introduced, and the prediction methods of the three models were analyzed. Then, taking enterprise A as an example, the demand for human resources was predicted, and the prediction results of the three models were compared. The results showed that the maximum and minimum errors were 240 people and 12 people respectively in the prediction results of the ID3 model and 64 people and 37 people respectively in the prediction results of the GM (1, 1) model; the errors of the BPNN model were smaller than ten people, and the minimum value of the BPNN model was three people, which was in good agreement with the actual value. The prediction of the human resource demand of enterprise A in the future five years with the BPNN model suggested that the demand for employees would growing rapidly. The results show that the BPNN model has better reliability and can be popularized and applied in practice.

Textiles are necessaries of human life. The fiber content is index of textile quality and how to measure it has important meaning. A method for testing fiber contents in mixture textiles by near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) was researched. The near infrared Spectra of samples in the range of 4000 cm-1 - 10000 cm-1 were obtained. Noise reduction and compression of spectra data was done by wavelet transform (WT). The reconstructed spectral signals were established based on WT and the correction models based on back propagation (BP) neural network were built. Comparisons between the BP neural network models at different analysis scale and the model of partial least square method (PLS) were given. When the structure of neural network is 11-9-2 for cotton/ terylene mixture samples and 21-13-2 for cotton/wool mixture samples, the best accuracy and fastest convergence speed is achieved. Experimental results have shown that this approach by Fourier transform NIR based on the BP neural network to predict the fiber content of textile mixture can satisfy the requirement of quantitative analysis and is also suitable for other fiber contents measurement of mixture textiles.

Surface roughness plays a significant role in machining industry for proper planning of process system and optimizing the cutting conditions. In this paper, a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model has been developed for the prediction of surface roughness in end milling process. A large number of milling experiments were conducted on Ti-6Al-4V alloy using the uncoated carbide tools. Four cutting parameters including cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut are used as the inputs to develop the BPNN model, while surface roughness corresponding to these combinations of different cutting parameters is the output of the neural network model. The performance of the trained BPNN model has been verified with the experimental results, and it is found that the BPNN predicted and the experimental values are very close to each other.

Granular materials are used directly or as the primary ingredients of the mixtures in industrial manufacturing, agricultural production and civil engineering. It has been a challenging task to compute the porosity of a granular material which contains a wide range of particle sizes or shapes. Against this background, this paper presents a newly developed method for the porosity prediction of granular materials through Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) and the Back Propagation Neural Network algorithm (BPNN). In DEM, ball elements were used to simulate particles in granular materials. According to the Chinese specifications, a total of 400 specimens in different gradations were built and compacted under the static pressure of 600 kPa. The porosity values of those specimens were recorded and applied to train the BPNN model. The primary parameters of the BPNN model were recommended for predicting the porosity of a granular material. Verification was performed by a self-designed experimental test and it was found that the prediction accuracy could reach 98%. Meanwhile, considering the influence of particle shape, a shape reduction factor was proposed to achieve the porosity reduction from sphere to real particle shape.
