Flooding is the world’s most catastrophic natural event in terms of losses. The ability to forecast flood events is crucial for controlling the risk of flooding to society and the environment. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been adopted in recent studies to provide fast flood inundation forecasts. In this paper, an existing ANN trained based on synthetic events was optimized in two directions: extending the training dataset with the use of hybrid dataset, and selection of the best training function based on six possible functions, namely conjugate gradient backpropagation with Fletcher–Reeves updates (CGF) with Polak–Ribiére updates (CGP) and Powell–Beale restarts (CGB), one-step secant back-propagation (OSS), resilient backpropagation (RP), and scaled conjugate gra-dient backpropagation (SCG). Four real flood events were used to validate the performance of the improved ANN over the existing one. The new training dataset reduced the model’s rooted mean square error (RMSE) by 10% for the testing dataset and 16% for the real events. The selection of the resilient backpropagation algorithm contributed to 15% lower RMSE for the testing dataset and up to 35% for the real events when compared with the other five training functions.

In this study, three artificial neural network (ANN) models are developed with back propagation (BP) optimization algorithms to predict various lightning damage modes in carbon/epoxy laminates. The proposed ANN models use three input variables associated with lightning waveform parameters (i.e., the peak current amplitude, rising time, and decaying time) to predict fiber damage, matrix damage, and through-thickness damage in the composites. The data used for training and testing the networks was actual lightning damage data collected from peer-reviewed published literature. Various BP training algorithms and network architecture configurations (i.e., data splitting, the number of neurons in a hidden layer, and the number of hidden layers) have been tested to improve the performance of the neural networks. Among the various BP algorithms considered, the Bayesian regularization back propagation (BRBP) showed the overall best performance in lightning damage prediction. When using the BRBP algorithm, as expected, the greater the fraction of the collected data that is allocated to the training dataset, the better the network is trained. In addition, the optimal ANN architecture was found to have a single hidden layer with 20 neurons. The ANN models proposed in this work may prove useful in preliminary assessments of lightning damage and reduce the number of expensive experimental lightning tests.

In this study, to predict the surface roughness of stainless steel-304 in Magneto rheological Abrasive flow finishing (MRAFF) process, an artificial neural network (ANN) and regression models have been developed. In this models, the parameters such as hydraulic pressure, current to the electromagnet and number of cycles were taken as variables of the model.Taguchi’s technique has been used for designing the experiments in order to observe the different values of surface roughness . A neural network with feed forward with the help of back propagation was made up of 27 input neurons, 7 hidden neurons and one output neuron. The 6 sets of experiments were randomly selected from orthogonal array for training and residuals were used to analyze the performance. To check the validity of regression model and to determine the significant parameter affecting the surface roughness, Analysis of variance (ANOVA) andF-test were made. The numerical analysis depict that the current to the electromagnet was an paramount parameter on surface roughness.Key words: MRAFF, ANN, Regression analysis

Normal and impaired pure tone thresholds (PTTs) were predicted from distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DP using a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) with a back-propagation training algorithm. The ANN used a present and absent DPOAEs from eight DP grams, (2fl -f2 = 406 - 4031 Hz) to predict PTTs at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz. With normal hearing as < 25 dB HL, prediction accuracy of normal hearing was 94% at 500, 88% at 1000, 88% at 2000 and 93% at 4000 Hz. Prediction of hearing-impaired categories was less accurate, due to insufficient data for the ANN to train on. This research indicates the possibility of accurately predicting hearing ability within 10 dB in normal hearing individuals and in hearing-impaired listeners with DPOAEs and ANNsfrom 500 - 4000 Hz.

At present, skin cancers are extremely the most severe and life-threatening kind of cancer. The majority of the pores and skin cancers are completely remediable at premature periods. Therefore, a premature recognition of pores and skin cancer can effectively protect the patients. Due to the progress of modern technology, premature recognition is very easy to identify. It is not extremely complicated to discover the affected pores and skin cancers with the exploitation of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The treatment procedure exploits image processing strategies and Artificial Intelligence. It must be noted that, the dermoscopy photograph of pores and skin cancer is effectively determined and it is processed to several pre-processing for the purpose of noise eradication and enrichment in image quality. Subsequently, the photograph is distributed through image segmentation by means of thresholding. Few components distinctive for skin most cancers regions. These features are mined the practice of function extraction scheme - 2D Wavelet Transform scheme.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;">Axial bearing capacity (ABC) of piles is usually determined by static load test (SLT). However, conducting SLT is costly and time-consuming. High strain dynamic pile testing (HSDPT) which is provided by pile driving analyzer (PDA) is a more recent approach for predicting the ABC of piles. In comparison to SLT, PDA test is quick and economical. Implementing feed forward back-propagation artificial neural network (ANN) for solving geotechnical problems has recently gained attention mainly due to its ability in finding complex nonlinear relationships among different parameters. In this study, an ANN-based predictive model for estimating ABC of piles and its distribution is proposed. For network construction purpose, 36 PDA tests were performed on various concrete piles in different project sites. The PDA results, pile geometrical characteristics as well as soil investigation data were used for training the ANN models. Findings indicate the feasibility of ANN in predicting ultimate, shaft and tip bearing resistances of piles. The coefficients of determination, R², equal to 0.941, 0.936, and 0.951 for testing data reveal that the shaft, tip and ultimate bearing capacities of piles predicted by ANN-based model are in close agreement with those of HSDPT. By using sensitivity analysis, it was found that the length and area of the piles are dominant factors in the proposed predictive model.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;">La Capacidad Axial de Soporte (ABC, en inglés) de un pilote de construcción se determina usualmente a través de una Prueba de Carga Estática (SLT, inglés). Sin embargo, estas pruebas son costosas y demandan tiempo. La evaluación de las Dinámicas de Alto Esfuerzo de Pilotes (HSDPT, inglés), que la provee el programa de Análisis de Excavación (PDA, inglés), es una forma de aproximación más reciente para preveer la Capacidad Axial de Soporte. En comparación con la Prueba de Cargas Estática, la evaluación PDA es rápida y económica. La implementación de Redes Neuronales Arficiales (ANN, en inglés) que permita resolver problemas geotécnicos ha ganado atención recientemente debido a su posibilidad de hallar relaciones no lineales entre los diferentes parámetros. En este estudio se propone un modelo predictivo ANN para estimar la Capacidad Axial de Soporte de pilotes y su distribución. Para fines de una red de construcción se realizaron 36 pruebas PDA en pilotes de diferentes proyectos. Los resultados de los Análisis de Excavación, las características geométricas de los pilotes, al igual que los datos de investigación del suelo se utilizaron para probar los modelos ANN. Los resultados indican la viabilidad del modelo ANN en predecir la resistencia de los pilotes. Los coeficientes de correlación, R², que alcanzaron 0.941, 09.36 y 0.951 para la evaluación de los datos, revelan que la capacidad del pilotaje en el último rodamiento, en el cojinete del eje y en la punta que se predijeron con el modelo ANN concuerda con las establecidas a través del HSDPT. A través del análisis de respuesta se determinó que la longitud y el área de los pilotes son factores dominantes en el modelo predictivo propuesto.</p>

A supervised Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based system is being developed employing the Bi-polar function for identifying stellar images in CCD frames. It is based on feed-forward artificial neural networks with error back-propagation learning. It has been coded in C language. The learning process was performed on a 341 input pattern set, while a similar set was used for testing. The present approach has been applied on a CCD frame of the open star cluster M67. The results obtained have been discussed and compared with those derived in our previous work employing the Uni-polar function and by a package known in the astronomical community (DAOPHOT-II). Full agreement was found between the present approach, that of Elnagahy et al, and the standard astronomical data for the cluster. It has been shown that the developed technique resembles that of the Uni-Polar function, possessing a simple, much faster yet reliable approach. Moreover, neither prior knowledge on, nor initial data from, the frame to be analysed is required, as it is for DAOPHOT-II.
