Determination of the temperature at which Austenite is formed is one of the important parameters in the heat treatment process. Chemical composition is an effective factor on these temperatures, particularly in steels that are used in various industries. In this research we have made an attempt to determine these temperatures based on the chemical composition of the steel. The technique used for this purpose is feedforward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the Back Propagation (BP) learning algorithm. A comparison is made between Ac1, Ac3 temperatures predicted with this model and those from the empirical equation as well as the experimental values obtained from costly and time-consuming tests in scientific and industrial centers for various steels. This comparison indicates that at Ac1, a better agreement exists between the ANN-predicted results and experimental values than the results from the empirical equation and experimental values. At Ac3, the results from the empirical equation are closer to those of the experimental than those predicted from the ANN. This was due to the dispersion of the data set used.

Martensite phase and its formation are quite attractive and important in industrial steels for reasons of having good properties such as high strength and high hardness. As such, determining the martensite formation start temperature in steel heat treatment operations is extremely important. Some parameters including chemical composition and grain size are effective factors on this temperature. In this investigation, we have made an attempt to determine this temperature with regard to chemical composition of steels. To reach this goal, we have explored the use of feedforward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the Back Propagation (BP) learning algorithm. A comparison is made between the Ms temperatures predicted with this model and those from the empirical equation as well as the experimental values obtained from costly and time-consuming tests in scientific and industrial centers for various steels. This comparison indicates that a better agreement exists between the ANN-predicted results and experimental values than the results from the empirical equation and experimental values.

Prediction Approach

This paper proposed a prediction approach for the performance of the mechanical draft wet cooling tower based on artificial neural network (ANN). The inlet water temperature, the ambient wet bulb temperature and the ratio of water to air mass flow rate in the cooling tower were selected as the input parameters of a four-layer back propagation neural network (BPNN) to predict the temperature of the water at the tower outlet. After the test of the available data set, the BPNN results in a correlation coefficient of 0.9 between the predicted and experimental values. Thus the prediction performance is good and such prediction approach proves to be feasible and effective.

The artificial neural network (ANN) modeling ofm-cresol photodegradation was carried out for determination of the optimum and importance values of the effective variables to achieve the maximum efficiency. The photodegradation was carried out in the suspension of synthesized manganese doped ZnO nanoparticles under visible-light irradiation. The input considered effective variables of the photodegradation were irradiation time, pH, photocatalyst amount, and concentration ofm-cresol while the efficiency was the only response as output. The performed experiments were designed into three data sets such as training, testing, and validation that were randomly splitted by the software’s option. To obtain the optimum topologies, ANN was trained by quick propagation (QP), Incremental Back Propagation (IBP), Batch Back Propagation (BBP), and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithms for testing data set. The topologies were determined by the indicator of minimized root mean squared error (RMSE) for each algorithm. According to the indicator, the QP-4-8-1, IBP-4-15-1, BBP-4-6-1, and LM-4-10-1 were selected as the optimized topologies. Among the topologies, QP-4-8-1 has presented the minimum RMSE and absolute average deviation as well as maximum R-squared. Therefore, QP-4-8-1 was selected as final model for validation test and navigation of the process. The model was used for determination of the optimum values of the effective variables by a few three-dimensional plots. The optimum points of the variables were confirmed by further validated experiments. Moreover, the model predicted the relative importance of the variables which showed none of them was neglectable in this work.

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. These outcomes are provides to the Back-Propagation Neural (BPN) Network for effective classification. This completely categorizes the data set into either cancerous or non-cancerous.

Heat treatment is an important method for improving the mechanical properties of industrial parts that are made through the powder metallurgy. Most PM steels are subjected to hardening and tempering, and it is due to this treatment that tempered martensite is formed. After heat treatment, these steel’s mechanical properties are affected by the heat treatment parameters and the initial density. In this paper, in order to make an evaluation of the effect of the above parameters, FN-0205 PM steel with various densities is heat treated in different austenite conditions and tempering time. Their mechanical properties are then evaluated and recorded. Afterwards, this data obtained by experimental procedure are predicted for various conditions. The method employed here is the well-known feedforward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the Back Propagation (BP) learning algorithm. Comparison between predicted values and experimental data, in the present study, indicate that the predicted results from this model are in good agreement with the experimental values.

In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for the fitting of bounding rectangle to a closed region of cashew kernel in a given image. We propose an algorithm to automatically compute the coordinates of the vertices closed form solution. Which is based on coordinate geometry and uses the boundary points of regions. The algorithm also computes directions of major and minor axis using least-square approach to compute the orientation of the given cashew kernel. More promising results were obtained by extracting shape features of a cashew kernel, it is proved that these features may predominantly use to make the better distinction of cashew kernels of different grades. The intelligent model was designed using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The model was trained and tested using Back-Propagation learning algorithm and obtained classification accuracy of 89.74%.
