Keywords: Al2O3-13 wt% TiO2, alumina–titania, APS, artificial neural network, cavitation erosion, ceramic coatings, hardness, microstructure, multi-objective optimization, wear
The study aims to elaborate a neural model and algorithm for optimizing hardness and porosity of coatings and thus ensure that they have superior cavitation erosion resistance. Al2O3-13 wt% TiO2 ceramic coatings were deposited onto 316L stainless steel by atmospheric plasma spray (ASP). The coatings were prepared with different values of two spray process parameters: the stand-off distance and torch velocity. Microstructure, porosity and microhardness of the coatings were examined. Cavitation erosion tests were conducted in compliance with the ASTM G32 standard. Artificial neural networks (ANN) were employed to elaborate the model, and the multi-objectives genetic algorithm (MOGA) was used to optimize both properties and cavitation erosion resistance of the coatings. Results were analyzed with MATLAB software by Neural Network Toolbox and Global Optimization Toolbox. The fusion of artificial intelligence methods (ANN + MOGA) is essential for future selection of thermal spray process pa... [more]

This study investigated the use of brewing wastewater (BW) as the primary carbon source in the Postgate medium for the optimisation of sulphate reduction in acid mine drainage (AMD). The results showed that the sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) consortium was able to utilise BW for sulphate reduction. The response surface methodology (RSM)/Box−Behnken design optimum conditions found for sulphate reduction were a pH of 6.99, COD/SO42− of 2.87, and BW concentration of 200.24 mg/L with predicted sulphate reduction of 91.58%. Furthermore, by using an artificial neural network (ANN), a multilayer full feedforward (MFFF) connection with an incremental backpropagation network and hyperbolic tangent as the transfer function gave the best predictive model for sulphate reduction. The ANN optimum conditions were a pH of 6.99, COD/SO42− of 0.50, and BW concentration of 200.31 mg/L with predicted sulphate reduction of 89.56%.

Keywords: 3D printing, additive manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence, computer vision, neural network
This work describes a novel methodology for the quality assessment of a Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing object during the printing process through AI-based Computer Vision. Specifically, Neural Networks are developed for identifying 3D printing defects during the printing process by analyzing video captured from the process. Defects are likely to occur in 3D printed objects during the printing process, with one of them being stringing; they are mostly correlated to one of the printing parameters or the object’s geometries. The defect stringing can be on a large scale and is usually located in visible parts of the object by a capturing camera. In this case, an AI model (Deep Convolutional Neural Network) was trained on images where the stringing issue is clearly displayed and deployed in a live environment to make detections and predictions on a video camera feed. In this work, we present a methodology for developing and deploying deep neural networks for the recognition of... [more]

Increasing the sustainability of a system can be achieved by evaluating the system, identifying the issues and their root cause and solving them. Performance evaluation translates into key performance indicators (KPIs) with a high impact on increasing overall efficacy and efficiency. As the pool of KPIs has increased over time in the context of evaluating the supply chain management (SCM) system’s performance and assessing, communicating and managing its risks, a mathematical model based on neural networks has been developed. The SCM system has been structured into subsystems with the most relevant KPIs for set subsystems and their most important contributions on the increase in the overall SCM system performance and sustainability. As a result of the performed research based on the interview method, the five most relevant KPIs of each SCM subsystem and the most relevant problems are underlined. The main goal of this paper is to develop a performance evaluation model that links specifi... [more]

Keywords: Carbon Dioxide, fuzzy C–means, ionic liquids, Modelling, prediction, selective ensemble, solubility
Solubility data is one of the essential basic data for CO2 capture by ionic liquids. A selective ensemble modeling method, proposed to overcome the shortcomings of current methods, was developed and applied to the prediction of the solubility of CO2 in imidazolium ionic liquids. Firstly, multiple different sub−models were established based on the diversities of data, structural, and parameter design philosophy. Secondly, the fuzzy C−means algorithm was used to cluster the sub−models, and the collinearity detection method was adopted to eliminate the sub−models with high collinearity. Finally, the information entropy method integrated the sub−models into the selective ensemble model. The validation of the CO2 solubility predictions against experimental data showed that the proposed ensemble model had better performance than its previous alternative, because more effective information was extracted from different angles, and the diversity and accuracy among the sub−models were fully inte...

Zhenni Jiang, Xiyu Liu
April 30, 2021 (v1)
Keywords: chain P system, consensus clustering, fuzzy k-modes algorithm, hypergraph structure
In this paper, a data clustering method named consensus fuzzy k-modes clustering is proposed to improve the performance of the clustering for the categorical data. At the same time, the coupling DNA-chain-hypergraph P system is constructed to realize the process of the clustering. This P system can prevent the clustering algorithm falling into the local optimum and realize the clustering process in implicit parallelism. The consensus fuzzy k-modes algorithm can combine the advantages of the fuzzy k-modes algorithm, weight fuzzy k-modes algorithm and genetic fuzzy k-modes algorithm. The fuzzy k-modes algorithm can realize the soft partition which is closer to reality, but treats all the variables equally. The weight fuzzy k-modes algorithm introduced the weight vector which strengthens the basic k-modes clustering by associating higher weights with features useful in analysis. These two methods are only improvements the k-modes algorithm itself. So, the genetic k-modes algorithm is prop... [more]

A radial basis function neural network-based 2-satisfiability reverse analysis (RBFNN-2SATRA) primarily depends on adequately obtaining the linear optimal output weights, alongside the lowest iteration error. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness, as well as the capability of the artificial immune system (AIS) algorithm in RBFNN-2SATRA. Moreover, it aims to improve the output linearity to obtain the optimal output weights. In this paper, the artificial immune system (AIS) algorithm will be introduced and implemented to enhance the effectiveness of the connection weights throughout the RBFNN-2SATRA training. To prove that the introduced method functions efficiently, five well-established datasets were solved. Moreover, the use of AIS for the RBFNN-2SATRA training is compared with the genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithms.

Xiu Yin, Xiyu Liu
April 29, 2021 (v1)
Keywords: dynamic threshold neural P systems, inhibitory rules, membrane computing, multiple channels, spiking neural P systems
In biological neural networks, neurons transmit chemical signals through synapses, and there are multiple ion channels during transmission. Moreover, synapses are divided into inhibitory synapses and excitatory synapses. The firing mechanism of previous spiking neural P (SNP) systems and their variants is basically the same as excitatory synapses, but the function of inhibitory synapses is rarely reflected in these systems. In order to more fully simulate the characteristics of neurons communicating through synapses, this paper proposes a dynamic threshold neural P system with inhibitory rules and multiple channels (DTNP-MCIR systems). DTNP-MCIR systems represent a distributed parallel computing model. We prove that DTNP-MCIR systems are Turing universal as number generating/accepting devices. In addition, we design a small universal DTNP-MCIR system with 73 neurons as function computing devices.

Keywords: adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, fuzzy logic, groundwater recharge, lysimeter, soil water balance, water budget
Estimating groundwater recharge using mathematical models such as water budget or soil water balance method has been proved to be very difficult due to the complex, uncertain multidimensional nature of the process, despite the simplicity of the concept. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been proposed to deal with this complexity and uncertainty in a similar way to human thinking and reasoning. This study proposed the use of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to model unconfined groundwater recharge using a set of data records from Kaharoa monitoring site in the North Island of New Zealand. Fifty-three data points, comprising a set of input parameters such as rainfall, temperature, sunshine hours, and radiation, for a period of approximately four and a half years, have been used to estimate ground water recharge. The results suggest that the ANFIS model is overall a reliable estimator for groundwater recharge, the correlation coefficient of the model reached 93... [more]

The impact of hot-melt extrusion (HME) on the solid-state properties of four methacrylic (Eudragit® L100-55, Eudragit® EPO, Eudragit® RSPO, Eudragit® RLPO) and four polyvinyl (Kollidon® VA64, Kollicoat® IR, Kollidon® SR, and Soluplus®) polymers was studied. Overall, HME decreased Tg but increased electrostatic charge and surface free energy. Packing density decreased with electrostatic charge, whereas Carr’s and Hausner indices showed a peak curve dependency. Overall, HME reduced work of compaction (Wc), deformability (expressed as Heckel PY and Kawakita 1/b model parameters and as slope S′ of derivative force/displacement curve), and tablet strength (TS) but increased elastic recovery (ER). TS showed a better correlation with S′ than PY and 1/b. Principal component analysis (PCA) organized the data of neat and extruded polymers into three principal components explaining 72.45% of the variance. The first included Wc, S′ and TS with positive loadings expressing compaction, and ER with n... [more]

Keywords: autoencoder, deep learning, gated recurrent unit, predictive maintenance, remaining useful life
With the development of smart manufacturing, in order to detect abnormal conditions of the equipment, a large number of sensors have been used to record the variables associated with production equipment. This study focuses on the prediction of Remaining Useful Life (RUL). RUL prediction is part of predictive maintenance, which uses the development trend of the machine to predict when the machine will malfunction. High accuracy of RUL prediction not only reduces the consumption of manpower and materials, but also reduces the need for future maintenance. This study focuses on detecting faults as early as possible, before the machine needs to be replaced or repaired, to ensure the reliability of the system. It is difficult to extract meaningful features from sensor data directly. This study proposes a model based on an Autoencoder Gated Recurrent Unit (AE-GRU), in which the Autoencoder (AE) extracts the important features from the raw data and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) selects the i...

March 14, 2021 (v1)
Keywords: grid-density based clustering approach, multidimensional datasets, spiking neural p systems
In this paper, we propose a novel clustering approach based on P systems and grid- density strategy. We present grid-density based approach for clustering high dimensional data, which first projects the data patterns on a two-dimensional space to overcome the curse of dimensionality problem. Then, through meshing the plane with grid lines and deleting sparse grids, clusters are found out. In particular, we present weighted spiking neural P systems with anti-spikes and astrocyte (WSNPA2 in short) to implement grid-density based approach in parallel. Each neuron in weighted SN P system contains a spike, which can be expressed by a computable real number. Spikes and anti-spikes are inspired by neurons communicating through excitatory and inhibitory impulses. Astrocytes have excitatory and inhibitory influence on synapses. Experimental results on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.

Keywords: artificial neural networks (ANN), cavitation performance, double suction, multi-condition optimization, net positive suction head (NPSH)
Double-suction centrifugal pumps form an integral part of power plant systems in maintaining operational stability. However, there has been a common problem of achieving a better cavitation performance over a wider operating range because the traditional approach for impeller design often leads to the design effect not meeting the operational needs at off-design conditions. In addressing the problem, an optimization scheme was designed with the hub and shroud inlet angles of the double-suction impeller to minimize the suction performance at non-design flow conditions. A practical approach that speeds up the cavitation simulation process was applied to solve the experimental design, and a multi-layer feed forward artificial neural network (ANN) was combined with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II to solve the multi-objective problem into three-dimensional (3D) Pareto optimal solutions that meet the optimization objective. At the design point, the suction performance was impr... [more]

Keywords: axial piston pump, degradation identification, energy moment entropy, Gaussian mixture model, waveform matching extrema mirror extension EMD
Axial piston pumps are crucial for the safe operation of hydraulic systems and usually work under variable operating conditions. However, deterioration status recognition for such pumps under variable conditions has rarely been reported until now. Therefore, it is valuable to develop effective methods suitable for processing variable conditions. Firstly, considering that information entropy has strong robustness to variable conditions and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has the advantages of processing nonlinear and nonstationary signals, a new degradation feature parameter, named local instantaneous energy moment entropy, which combines information entropy theory and EMD, is proposed in this paper. To obtain more accurate degradation feature, a waveform matching extrema mirror extension EMD, which is used to suppress the end effects of EMD decomposition, was employed to decompose the original pump’s outlet pressure signals, taking the quasi-periodic characteristics of the signals i...

Alzheimer’s disease is notoriously the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, affecting an increasing number of people. Although widespread, its causes and progression modalities are complex and still not fully understood. Through neuroimaging techniques, such as diffusion Magnetic Resonance (MR), more sophisticated and specific studies of the disease can be performed, offering a valuable tool for both its diagnosis and early detection. However, processing large quantities of medical images is not an easy task, and researchers have turned their attention towards machine learning, a set of computer algorithms that automatically adapt their output towards the intended goal. In this paper, a systematic review of recent machine learning applications on diffusion tensor imaging studies of Alzheimer’s disease is presented, highlighting the fundamental aspects of each work and reporting their performance score.

Keywords: classification, process manufacturing, semi-supervised learning, time-series analysis, yield improvement
Quality management is important for maximizing yield in continuous-flow manufacturing. However, it is more difficult to manage quality in continuous-flow manufacturing than in discrete manufacturing because partial defects can significantly affect the quality of an entire lot of final product. In this paper, a comprehensive framework that consists of three steps is proposed to predict defects and improve yield by using semi-supervised learning, time-series analysis, and classification model. In Step 1, semi-supervised learning using both labeled and unlabeled data is applied to generate quality values. In addition, feature values are predicted in time-series analysis in Step 2. Finally, in Step 3, we predict quality values based on the data obtained in Step 1 and Step 2 and calculate yield values with the use of the predicted value. Compared to a conventional production plan, the suggested plan increases yield by up to 8.7%. The production plan proposed in this study is expected to con... [more]

Keywords: dense medium separation, LSTM, prediction model, suspension density
In the dense medium separation system of coal preparation plant, the fluctuation of raw coal ash and lag of suspension density adjustment often causes the instability of product quality. To solve this problem, this study established a suspension density prediction model for the dense medium separation system based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). First, the historical data in the dense medium separation system of a coal preparation plant were collected and preprocessed. Moving average and cubic exponential smoothing methods were used to replace abnormal data and to fill in the missing data, respectively. Second, a LSTM network was used to construct the density prediction model, and the optimal number of time steps, hidden layers, and nodes was determined. Finally, the model was employed on a testing set for prediction, and a Back-Propagation (BP) network without a time series was used for comparison. Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) were the minimum when the number of the hidden layers,... [more]

Objective: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder arising from anomalies of the electrical activity in the brain, affecting ~65 million individuals worldwide. Prediction methods, typically based on machine learning methods, require a large amount of data for training, in order to correctly classify seizures with small false alarm rates.

Furthermore, a patient-specific seizure prediction method, based on the detection of synchronization patterns in the EEG, is proposed and tested on the data of the database. The use of noninvasive EEG data aims to explore the possibility of developing a noninvasive monitoring/control device for the prediction of seizures. The prediction method employs synchronization measures computed over all channel pairs and a computationally inexpensive threshold-based classificat... [more]
