Historical hydrometeorological and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) data from the Kennebecasis River, a tributary of the Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada, were investigated to help understand what drives high sediment transport in that system. Analysis of correlation coefficients between SSC and potential drivers at various time steps suggested that multiple regressions would not be optimal for this purpose, and that lagged flow (Q) and precipitation should be taken into account in any model. A frequency analysis involving annual maxima of SSC, Q, and precipitation events revealed there is no systematic unique driver of extreme annual SSC or high annual loads. Finally, artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed to verify whether the variables examined previously would yield better results in a nonlinear context. Network inputs were mean temperature, Q, Q(t–1), Q(t–2), and day-of-year. Using daily loads directly as a target in the network yielded satisfactory results, with 88% of the variance explained by the model and a mean absolute deviation between estimated and real annual loads of 16%. The ANN model systematically outperformed multiple linear regressions.

Crude Oil Distillation

This paper discusses the development of artificial neural network (ANN) models for a crude oil distillation column. Since the model is developed for real time optimisation (RTO) applications they are steady state, multivariable models. Training and testing data used to develop the models were generated from a reconciled steady-state model simulated in a process simulator. The radial basis function networks (RBFN), a type of feedforward ANN model, were able to model the crude tower very well, with the root mean square error for the prediction of each variable less than 1%. Grouping related output variables in a network model was found to give better predictions than lumping all the variables in a single model; this also allowed the overall complex, multivariable model to be simplified into smaller models that are more manageable. In addition, the RBFN models were also able to satisfactorily perform range and dimensional extrapolation, which is necessary for models that are used in RTO.

Correct Estimation

Abstract Suspended sediment load (SSL) time series have three principal inherent components (autoregressive trend, seasonality and stochastic terms) and the overall performance of an SSL modeling tool is associated with the correct estimation of these components. In this study, novel developments of artificial neural network (ANN) models, emotional ANN (EANN) and hybrid wavelet-EANN (WEANN), are employed to estimate the daily and monthly SSL of two rivers (Upper Rio Grande and Lighvanchai) with different hydro-geomorphological conditions. The overall results obtained via autoregressive models, the ANN and EANN, specify the supremacy of EANN (with a few hormonal parameters) against ANN due to the EANN better training the model versus extreme conditions. Also, the obtained results exhibit that the WEANN model could improve the SSL modeling up to 42% and 14% for daily modeling and up to 141% and 87% for monthly modeling in the Upper Rio Grande and Lighvanchai Rivers, respectively.

Dimensional Surface

Three-dimensional surface roughness parameters are widely applied to characterize frictional and lubricating properties, corrosion resistance, fatigue strength of surfaces. Among them, the functional parameters of surface roughness, such as Sbi, Sci, and Svi, are used to evaluate bearing and fluid retention properties of surfaces. In this study, the effects of grinding parameters, including wheel linear speed (Vs), workpiece linear speed (Vw), grinding depth (ap), longitudinal feed rate (fa), and dressing rate (F), on functional parameters were studied in grinding of cast iron. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed for predicting the functional parameters of three-dimensional surface roughness. The inputs of the ANN models were grinding parameters (Vs, Vw, ap, fa, F), and the output parameters of the models were functional parameters of surface roughness (Sbi, Sci, Svi). With small errors (e.g MSE = 0.09%, 0.61%, and 0.0014%. ), the ANN-based models are considered sufficiently accurate to predict functional parameters of surface roughness in grinding of cast iron.

Air quality has been deteriorated seriously in Shanghai as a result of urbanization and modernization. A three-layer Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was developed to forecast the surface SO2 concentration. The subsequent SO2 concentration being the output parameter of this study was estimated by six input parameters such as preceding SO2 concentrations, average daily temperature, sea-level pressure, relative humidity, average daily wind speed and average daily precipitation. Levenberg-Marquarde (LM) backpropagation was tested as the best algorithm and the optimal neuron number for the LM algorithm was found to be eight. ANN testing outputs were proven to be satisfactory with correlation coefficients of about 0.765.

Batch reactive distillation is an integrated unit of batch reactor and distillation. It provides benefits of having higher conversion and yield by continuous removal of side product. The aim of this paper is to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) based model for production of isopropyl myristate in an industrial scaled semibatch reactive distillation. Two cases of the MIMO model were developed. Case 1 does not consider historical data as inputs while case 2 does. The trained ANN for both cases was validated with independent validation data and the best architecture was optimized. Case 1 resulted to 8 inputs, 14 hidden nodes and 2 outputs [8-14-2] ANN while Case 2 resulted to [12-13-2] ANN. The results show that both ANN models have ability to predict the unknown validation and testing data very well. However, the [8-14-2] ANN model produce higher accuracy than [12-13-2] ANN model with MSE of 0.00094 and 0.0013, respectively.

Water temperature is an important component for water quality and biotic conditions in rivers. A good knowledge of river thermal regime is critical for the management of aquatic resources and environmental impact studies. The objective of the present study was to develop a water temperature model as a function of air temperatures, water temperatures and water level data using artificial neural network (ANN) techniques for two thermally different streams. This model was applied on an hourly basis. The results showed that ANN models are an effective modeling tool with overall root-mean-square-error of 0.94 and 1.23 °C, coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.967 and 0.962 and bias of −0.13 and 0.02 °C, for Catamaran Brook and the Little Southwest Miramichi River, respectively. The ANN model performed best in summer and autumn and showed a poorer performance in spring. Results of the present study showed similar or better results to those of deterministic and stochastic models. The present study shows that the predicted hourly water temperatures can also be used to estimate the mean and maximum daily water temperatures. The many advantages of ANN models are their simplicity, low data requirements, their capability of modeling long-term time series as well as having an overall good performance.

Image Localization

Abstract An orthogonal neural network (ONN), a new deep-learning structure for medical image localization, is developed and presented in this paper. This method is simple, efficient, and completely different from a convolution neural network (CNN). The diagnostic performance of ONN for detecting the location of pneumothorax in chest X-rays was assessed and compared to that of CNN. An area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.870, an accuracy of 85.3%, a sensitivity of 75.0%, and a specificity of 86.5% were achieved; the ONN outperformed the CNN. The diagnostic performance of the ONN with a sigmoid activation function for all the nodes obviously outperformed the ONN with the rectified linear unit (RELU) activation function for all the nodes other than the output nodes. In addition, by applying ONN and CNN to predict the location of the glottis in laryngeal images, we achieved accurate and adjacent prediction rates of 70.5% and 20.5%, respectively, with the ONN. The prediction accuracy of the ONN was compared favorably with that of the CNN. Compared to a CNN, an ONN required only approximately 10% of the computations using a CNN trained on images with an input resolution of 256 × 256 pixels. A fully-connected small artificial neural network (ANN), selected by comparing the test results of several dozens of small ANN models, achieved the best location prediction performance on medical images. This study demonstrated that an ONN can be used as a quick selection criterion to compare ANN models for image localization since an ONN performed well compared decently with the selected ANN model.
