    In this paper, we present an application of artificial neural network (ANN) analysis in the thermovision identification of the studied thermal fields. Precise thermal field identification plays an important role in distinguished technological processes, for instance in metallurgy. Our efforts were focused in this direction. Thermovision outputs are usually thermograms with a form of a quasi-coloured imaging record of an observed temperature field. A thermogram is usually registered and presented in a form of an electronic or printed image. The character of such a document is informational only, and real temperature values are difficult to detect. The exploitation of neural networks is advantageous, if it is necessary to express complex mutual relations among sensor-based data. More accurate results of the predictions of different metallurgical parameters with the exploitation of neural networks are based on the fact that the application of neural networks enables the assignment of relations among process parameters which cannot be traced using common methods due to their mutual interactions, the considerable amount of data, dynamics and the thus ensuing time demands.Papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Portoroz, Slovenia on 17-19 July 2017 .International centre for heat and mass transfer.American society of thermal and fluids engineers

    Gapped sequence alignment using artificial neural networks: application to the MHC class I system

    Get PDF
    Motivation: Many biological processes are guided by receptor interactions with linear ligands of variable length. One such receptor is the MHC class I molecule. The length preferences vary depending on the MHC allele, but are generally limited to peptides of length 8–11 amino acids. On this relatively simple system, we developed a sequence alignment method based on artificial neural networks that allows insertions and deletions in the alignment. Results: We show that prediction methods based on alignments that include insertions and deletions have significantly higher performance than methods trained on peptides of single lengths. Also, we illustrate how the location of deletions can aid the interpretation of the modes of binding of the peptide-MHC, as in the case of long peptides bulging out of the MHC groove or protruding at either terminus. Finally, we demonstrate that the method can learn the length profile of different MHC molecules, and quantified the reduction of the experimental effort required to identify potential epitopes using our prediction algorithm. Availability and implementation: The NetMHC-4.0 method for the prediction of peptide-MHC class I binding affinity using gapped sequence alignment is publicly available at: http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/ services/NetMHC-4.0.Fil: Andreatta, Massimo.

    Compact optical fluorescence sensor for food quality control using artificial neural networks: application to olive oil

    Get PDF
    Olive oil is an important commodity in the world, and its demand has grown substantially in recent years. As of today, the determination of olive oil quality is based on both chemical analysis and organoleptic evaluation from specialized laboratories and panels of experts, thus resulting in a complex and time-consuming process. This work presents a new compact and low-cost sensor based on fluorescence spectroscopy and artificial neural networks that can perform olive oil quality assessment. The presented sensor has the advantage of being a portable, easy-to-use, and low-cost device, which works with undiluted samples, and without any pre-processing of data, thus simplifying the analysis to the maximum degree possible. Different artificial neural networks were analyzed and their performance compared. To deal with the heterogeneity in the samples, as producer or harvest year, a novel neural network architecture is presented, called here conditional convolutional neural network (Cond- CNN). The presented technology is demonstrated by analyzing olive oils of different quality levels and from different producers: extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), virgin olive oil (VOO), and lampante olive oil (LOO). The sensor classifies the oils in the three mentioned classes with an accuracy of 82%. These results indicate that the Cond-CNN applied to the data obtained with the low-cost luminescence sensor, can deal with a set of oils coming from multiple producers, and, therefore, showing quite heterogeneous chemical characteristics.project Innosuisse - Swiss Innovation Agency 36761.1 INNO-LSproject "SUSTAINABLE" - European Union's Horizon 2020 H2020-MSCA-RISE-2020 program 101007702project "PARENT" - European Union's Horizon 2020 H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020 program 956394Junta de Andalucia-FEDER-Fondo de Desarrollo Europeo 2018 P18-H0-470

    Avaliação de aplicação de redes neurais artificiais em métodos de medição-correlação-predição

    In this study a single artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the short term mean hourly wind speed and wind direction at target sites using short term mean hourly reference wind data. Standard multi-layered, feed-forward, backpropagation neural networks with single hidden layer architecture was designed using neural network toolbox for MATLAB. The hidden layers and output layer of the network consist of tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) and linear transfer function (purelin) as an activation function. Five different sites from Japan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, France and Russia with different terrain complexity, completely different weather conditions, and different correlation coefficient between reference and target sites were tested. Single model was constructed, and two different approaches were experimented. Approach 1 made use of entire concurrent period dataset, the output values from the model was compared against the three methods: regression, matrix and neural network. Second approach was built on certain period of data and tested on unused data. The purpose behind the fabrication of this approach is to try and understand the neural network model. The results of approach 1 was that the neural network model is able to statistically perform better than other methods and equally well in predicting wind direction sectors. The maximum mean absolute percentage error for NN MATLAB model was found to be 62.5% in Japan to 23.7% in France. The model suffers in predicting the lower wind speeds which explains the distortion in wind frequency distribution and resulting in Power density deviation. The maximum deviation was -18.1% in Jordan and -7.9% in France. The sites in Japan, Saudi Arabia, France and Russia were considered for approach 2. The results were interesting, in case of japan the first month was better than the last month result. Overall the performance of the model was better in case of France followed by Russia site. The maximum deviation of Power density was noticed in case of Japan’s last month scenario -26.6% to minimum of about 3.2% in France and -5.2% was observed in case of Russia. In Saudi Arabia site, the only case where the concurrent period extends over a period of one year, the performance of the model was statistically good but suffers from same problem of previous cases. The deviation in power density was spotted around -21.4%.Neste estudo, foi desenvolvido um modelo de rede neural artificial (RNA) para prever a velocidade média do vento de curto prazo e a direção do vento em locais-alvo, usando dados de vento de referência de curto prazo. Foram projetadas redes neurais padrão multi-camadas, feed-forward, de propagação reversa com arquitetura de camada oculta única usando a caixa de ferramentas de rede neural para o MATLAB. As camadas ocultas e a camada de saída da rede consistem na função de transferência sigmóide tangente (tansig) e na função de transferência linear (purelin) como uma função de ativação. Foram testados cinco locais diferentes, Japão, Arábia Saudita, Jordânia, França e Rússia, com diferentes complexidades de terreno, condições climáticas completamente diferentes e diferentes coeficientes de correlação entre os locais de referência e os de destino. Foram testadas duas abordagens diferentes com o modelo construído. Na abordagem foi usado todo o conjunto de dados do período concorrente e os valores de saída do modelo foram comparados com três métodos em estudo: regressão, matriz e rede neural. A segunda abordagem foi construída usando apenas um determinado período de dados e o modelo foi testado em dados não utilizados. O objetivo desta segunda abordagem foi tentar entender o modelo de rede neural. Os resultados obtidos com a abordagem 1 aplicada aos 5 sítios em estudo permitiram verificar que o modelo de rede neural desenvolvido se apresenta estatisticamente melhor do que os outros métodos testados. Verifica-se que é capaz de prever bem a direção do vento por setores. Foi obtido um erro percentual médio absoluto máximo com o modelo NN MATLAB de 62,5% no Japão e de 23,7% na França. O modelo desenvolvido apresenta uma limitação na previsão das velocidades de vento mais baixas, o que explica a distorção na distribuição da frequência do vento e resulta no desvio da densidade de potência. O desvio máximo obtido para a densidade de potência foi de -18,1% na Jordânia e de -7,9% na França. Na abordagem 2 foram utilizados os dados do Japão, Arábia Saudita, França e Rússia. Os resultados foram interessantes. Verificou-se que no caso do Japão foi possível obter melhores resultados para o primeiro mês do que para o último mês. No geral, o desempenho do modelo foi melhor no caso da França, seguido pela Rússia. O desvio máximo da densidade de potência foi observado no caso do cenário do último mês do Japão -26,6% e foram observados desvios mínimos de cerca de 3,2% na França e -5,2% na Rússia. No site da Arábia Saudita, o único caso em que o período concorrente se estende por um período de um ano, o desempenho do modelo foi estatisticamente bom, verificando-se a mesma dificuldade de previsão de velocidades baixas. O desvio na densidade de potência foi de cerca de -21,4%
