Coagulation and chlorination are complex processes of a water treatment plant (WTP). Determination of coagulant and chlorine dose is time-consuming. Many times WTP operators in India determine the coagulant and chlorine dose approximately using their experience, which may lead to the use of excess or insufficient dose. Hence, there is a need to develop prediction models to determine optimum chlorine and coagulant doses. In this paper, artificial neural networks (ANN) are used for prediction due to their ability to learn and model non-linear and complex relationships. Separate ANN models for chlorine and coagulant doses are explored with radial basis neural network (RBFNN), feed-forward neural network (FFNN), cascade feed forward neural network (CFNN) and generalized regression neural network (GRNN). For modeling, daily water quality data of the last four years are collected from the plant laboratory of WTP in Maharashtra (India). In order to improve performance, these models are established by varying input variables, hidden nodes, training functions, spread factor, and epochs. The best models are selected based on the comparison of performance measures. It is observed that the best performing chlorine dose model using defined statistics is found to be RBFNN with R=0.999. Similarly, the CFNN coagulant dose model with Bayesian regularization (BR) training function provided excellent estimates with network architecture (2-40-1) and R=0.947. Based on the above models, two graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were developed for real-time prediction of chlorine and coagulant dose, which will be useful for plant operators and decision makers.

Introduction: Despite increasing TAVR volumes after a series of recent favorable clinical trials, adverse outcomes remain frequent, including new or worsened conduction disease requiring PPMI, life-threatening bleeding, paravalvular leak, and stroke. PPMI carries a reported incidence ranging from 8.8-14.6% and is of particular concern given the increased risk of mortality and rehospitalization. New techniques in signal processing may inform novel statistical approaches to better predict PPMI from a set of clinical variables. Artificial neural networks (ANN) comprise a family of algorithms that utilize non-linear activation functions to enable improved prediction of PPMI in TAVR patients. Objective: To examine the predictive utility of a feed-forward neural network in classifying PPM implantation in patients undergoing TAVR. Methods: Pre and post-operative data from a single institution were collected for all patients undergoing TAVR without prior pacemaker implantation from January 2016 to December 2019. Data was imported into Matlab, partitioned into training, validation, and test sets, and processed in a two-layer feed-forward neural network with sigmoid hidden and softmax output neurons. Performance data included confusion matrices and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: The total sample size for the cohort was 513 patients with a PPMI incidence of 8.6%. The training set contained 40 variables and 359 patients, while the validation and test sets contained 77 patients each. The final optimized model showed cross-entropy of 0.25 with 6 iterations and an area under ROC curve of 0.73. Overall model accuracy was 92.7% in the validation set and 88.3% in the test set. Conclusions: In summary, we show that feed-forward neural networks can be useful in processing multiple interdependent variables to aid clinical prediction. Our network demonstrated modest discriminatory ability in predicting the need for PPMI after TAVR.

Soil information is needed for managing the agricultural environment. The aim of this study was to apply artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the prediction of soil classes using orbital remote sensing products, terrain attributes derived from a digital elevation model and local geology information as data sources. This approach to digital soil mapping was evaluated in an area with a high degree of lithologic diversity in the Serra do Mar. The neural network simulator used in this study was JavaNNS and the backpropagation learning algorithm. For soil class prediction, different combinations of the selected discriminant variables were tested: elevation, declivity, aspect, curvature, curvature plan, curvature profile, topographic index, solar radiation, LS topographic factor, local geology information, and clay mineral indices, iron oxides and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from an image of a Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor. With the tested sets, best results were obtained when all discriminant variables were associated with geological information (overall accuracy 93.2 - 95.6 %, Kappa index 0.924 - 0.951, for set 13). Excluding the variable profile curvature (set 12), overall accuracy ranged from 93.9 to 95.4 % and the Kappa index from 0.932 to 0.948. The maps based on the neural network classifier were consistent and similar to conventional soil maps drawn for the study area, although with more spatial details. The results show the potential of ANNs for soil class prediction in mountainous areas with lithological diversity.

In much of the public literature on pin-fin heat transfer, Nusselt number is presented as a function of Reynolds number using a power-law correlation. Power-law correlations typically have an accuracy of 20% while the experimental uncertainty of such measurements is typically between 5% and 10%. Additionally, the use of power-law correlations may require many sets of empirical constants to fully characterize heat transfer for different geometrical arrangements. In the present work, artificial neural networks were used to predict heat transfer as a function of streamwise spacing, spanwise spacing, pin-fin height, Reynolds number, and row position. When predicting experimental heat transfer data, the neural network was able to predict 73% of array-averaged heat transfer data to within 10% accuracy while published power-law correlations predicted 48% of the data to within 10% accuracy. Similarly, the neural network predicted 81% of row-averaged data to within 10% accuracy while 52% of the data was predicted to within 10% accuracy using power-law correlations. The present work shows that first-order heat transfer predictions may be simplified by using a single neural network model rather than combining or interpolating between power-law correlations. Furthermore, the neural network may be expanded to include additional pin-fin features of interest such as fillets, duct rotation, pin shape, pin inclination angle, and more making neural networks expandable and adaptable models for predicting pin-fin heat transfer.
