This study aims at providing a back propagation-artificial neural network (BP-ANN) model on forecasting the water quality change trend of Qiantang River basin. To achieve this goal, a three-layer (one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer) BP-ANN with the LM regularization training algorithm was used. Water quality variables such as pH value, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index and ammonia-nitrogen was selected as the input data to obtain the output of the neural network. The ANN structure with 17 hidden neurons obtained the best selection. The comparison between the original measured and forecast values of the ANN model shows that the relative errors, with a few exceptions, were lower than 9%. The results indicated that the BP neural network can be satisfactorily applied to forecast precise water quality parameters and is suitable for pre-alarm of water quality trend.

This work aimed to assess the water quality of the Tuojiang River Basin in recent years to provide a better understanding of its current pollution situation, and the potential pollution risks and causes. Water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia–nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP), the permanganate index (CODMn), five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), pH, and concentrations of various heavy metals were measured in the Tuojiang River, according to the national standards of the People’s Republic of China. Samples were collected between 2012 to 2018 at 11 national monitoring sites in the Tuojiang River Basin. The overall water pollution situation was evaluated with back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) analysis. The pollution causes were analyzed considering both industrial wastewater discharge in the upper reaches and the current pollution situation. We found potential risks of excessive NH3-N, TP, Cd, Hg, and Pb concentrations in the Tuojiang River Basin. Moreover, corresponding water pollution control suggestions were given.

This paper describes the novel application of an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on the back-propagation method formulated to predict algal bloom by simulating the future growth of five phytoplankton species and the chlorophyll a concentration in the second largest lake in Japan: eutrophic freshwater Lake Kasumigaura. Comparison of observed and calculated values showed that (i) seasonal variations in the biomass of Microcystis spp. were well-predicted with respect to the timing and magnitude of algal bloom, and (ii) the concentration of chlorophyll a, as an indicator of the total biomass of phytoplankton, was well predicted in general. The resultant correlations for the other species, however, showed that model learning was insufficient to effectively predict species biomass; thereby indicating that some unknown factors which are not represented by the set of water quality parameters used as model input data affect phytoplankton growth. A sensitivity analysis performed on input parameters showed that chlorophyll a concentration was mainly affected by PO4-P concentration, while cyanobacteria and diatom species were affected by NO3-N and NH4-N concentrations, respectively. These results indicate that the “algal bloom” ANN model achieved reasonable effectiveness with respect to learning the relationship between the selected water quality parameters and algal bloom.

Water resources play a vital role in various economies such as agriculture, forestry, cattle farming, hydropower generation, fisheries, industrial activity, and other creative activities, as well as the need for drinking water. Monitoring the water quality parameters in rivers is becoming increasingly relevant as freshwater is increasingly being used. In this study, the artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed and applied to predict nitrate (NO3) as a water quality parameter (WQP) in the Feitsui reservoir, Taiwan. For the input of the model, five water quality parameters were monitored and used namely, ammonium (NH3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) as input parameters. As a statistical measurement, the correlation coefficient (R) is used to evaluate the performance of the model. The result shows that ANN is an accurate model for predicting nitrate as a water quality parameter in the Feitsui reservoir. The regression value for the training, testing, validation, and overall are 0.92, 0.93, 0.99, and 0.94, respectively.


This study examines the potential of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) released via decomposition of local food wastes. To mimic the decomposition process, a bioreactor was designed to stimulate the food waste storage condition. The food waste was modeled based on the waste composition from a residential area. A feed forward multilayer back propagation (Levenberg – Marquardt training algorithm) was then developed to predict the TVOCs. The findings indicate that a two-layer artificial neuron network (ANN) with six input variables and these include (outside and inside temperature, pH, moisture content, oxygen level, relative humidity) with a total of eighty eight (88) data are used for the modeling purpose. The network with the highest regression coefficient (R) is 0.9967 and the lowest Mean Square Error (MSE) is 0.00012 (nearest to the value of zero) has been selected as the Optimum ANN model. The findings of this study suggest the most suitable ANN model that befits the research objective is ANN model with one (1) hidden layer with fifteen (15) hidden neurons. Additionally, it is critical to note that the results from the experiment and predicted model are in good agreement.

In this study, the tribological properties of TiC particle and MWCNTs reinforced aluminium (Al7475) hybrid composite synthesized by stir casting method were investigated by experimental and artificial neural network (ANN) model. Al7475 metal matrix composites was produced with different wt% of TiC and MWCNTs. The composite samples were tested at 0.42 ms- 1, 0.84 ms- 1 and 1.68 ms- 1 under three different loads  (10N, 20N and 40N). The results indicated that Al7475+10%TiC+2%MWCNTs composite exhibit lower wear rate and reduced coefficient of friction in compare to other samples. TiC percent, MWCNTs percent, applied weight, sliding speed and Time were used as input values for the theoretical prediction model of the composite. coefficient of friction and Wear loss were the two outputs developed from proposed network. Back propagation neural network with 5 – 6 – 2 architecture that uses Levenberg –Marquardt training algorithm is used to predict the coefficient of friction and wear loss. After comparing experimental and ANNs predicted results it was noted that R2 was 0.992 for wear loss and 0.980 for coefficient of friction. This indicated that developed predicted model has a high state of reliability.

Simultaneaous spectrophotometric determination of clorsulon (CLO) and invermectin (IVE) in commercial veterinary formulation was performed by using the artificial neural network (ANN) based on the back propagation algorithm. In order to find the optimal ANN model various topogical networks were tested by using different hidden layers. A logsig input layer, a hidden layer of neurons using the logsig transfer function and an output layer of two neurons with purelin transfer function was found suitable for basic configuration for ANN model. A calibration set consisting of CLO and IVE in calibration set was prepared in the concentration range of 1-23 �g/mL and 1-14 �g/mL, repectively. This calibration set contains 36 different synthetic mixtures. A prediction set was prepared in order to evaluate the recovery of the investigated approach ANN chemometric calibration was applied to the simultaneous analysis of CLO and IVE in compounds in a commercial veterinary formulation. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is appropriate for the routine quality control of the above mentioned active compounds.

Abstract An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the drape coefficient (DC). Hanging weight, Sample diameter and the bending rigidities in warp, weft and skew directions are selected as inputs of the ANN model. The ANN developed is a multilayer perceptron using a back-propagation algorithm with one hidden layer. The drape coefficient is measured by a Cusick drape meter. Bending rigidities in different directions were calculated according to the Cantilever method. The DC obtained results show a good correlation between the experimental and the estimated ANN values. The results prove a significant relationship between the ANN inputs and the drape coefficient. The algorithm developed can easily predict the drape coefficient of fabrics at different diameters.

Artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to predict the number of produced neutrons from IR-IECF device in wide discharge current and voltage ranges. Experimentally, discharge current from 20 to 100 mA had been tuned by deuterium gas pressure and cathode voltage had been changed from −20 to −82 kV (maximum voltage of the used supply). The maximum neutron production rate (NPR) of 1.46 × 107 n/s had occurred when the voltage was −82 kV and the discharge current was 48 mA. The back-propagation algorithm is used for training of the proposed multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network structure. The obtained results show that the proposed ANN model has achieved good agreement with the experimental data. Results show that NPR of 1.855 × 108 n/s can be achieved in voltage and current of 125 kV and 45 mA, respectively. This prediction shows 52% increment in maximum voltage of power supply. Also, the optimum discharge current can increase 1270% NPR.

Abstract This study uses artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the thermo-physical properties of deep-fat frying plantain chips (ipekere). The frying was conducted with temperature and time ranged of 150 to 190 °C and 2 to 4 minutes using factorial design. The result revealed that specific heat was most influenced by temperature and time with the value 2.002 kJ/kg°C at 150 °C and 2.5 minutes. The density ranged from 0.997 – 1.005 kg/m3 while thermal diffusivity and conductivity were least affected with 0.192 x 10−6 m2/s and 0.332 W/m°C respectively at 190 °C and 4 minutes. The ANN architecture was developed using Levenberg–Marquardt (TRAINLM) and Feed-forward back propagation algorithm. The experimentation based on the ANN model produced a desirable prediction of the thermo-physical properties through the application of diverse amount of neutrons in the hidden layer. The predictive experimentation of the computational model with R2 ≥ 0.7901 and MSE ≤ 0.1125 does not only show the validity in anticipating the thermo-physical properties, it also indicates the capability of the model to identify a relevant association between frying time, frying temperatures and thermo-physical properties. Hence, to avoid a time consuming and expensive experimental tests, the developed model in this study is efficient in prediction of the thermo-physical properties of deep-fat frying plantain chips.
