APPLICATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS IN PREDICTIVE DATA MINING

Neural Networks represent a meaningfully different approach to using computers in the workplace. A neural network is used to learn patterns and relationships in data. The data may be the results of a market research effort, or the results of a production process given varying operational conditions. Regardless of the specifics involved, applying a neural network is a substantial departure from traditional approaches. In this paper we will look into how neural networks is used in data mining. The ultimate goal of data mining is prediction - and predictive data mining is the most common type of data mining and one that has the most direct business applications. Therefore, we will consider how this technique can be used to classify the performance status of a departmental store in monitoring their productsNeural networks, data mining, prediction

TUNING A THREE-PHASE SEPARATOR LEVEL CONTROLLER VIA PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION (PSO) ALGORITHM

Three-Phase Separators are used to separate well crudes into three portions; water, oil, and gas. A suitable control system should be in place to ensure the optimum function of the Three-Phase Separator. The current PID tuning technique does not provide an optimum system response of the separator. Overshoot response, offset, steady-state error and system instability are some of the problems faced. Besides, the current method used is purely based on trial and error which is time consuming. There is room for improvement of the current PID tuning technique. An artificial intelligence (AI) PID tuning technique called Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is introduced to improve the system response of the Three-Phase Separator. The PSO algorithm mimics the behaviour of bird flocking and fish schooling striving for its global best position. In our case, the global best position is replaced with the optimized PID tuning parameters for the separator. The PSO algorithm has been used in several other applications such as the Brushless DC motor and in the Control Ball & Beam system. It has proven to be an effective tuning technique. Tuning of the Three-Phase Separator via PSO could prove to be an effective solution for Oil & Gas industries

Current and emerging treatments for the management of myasthenia gravis

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder. There are several treatment options, including symptomatic treatment (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors), short-term immunosuppression (corticosteroids), long-term immunosuppression (azathioprine, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab, tacrolimus), rapid acting short-term immunomodulation (intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange), and long-term immunomodulation (thymectomy). This review explores in detail these different treatment options. Potential future treatments are also discussed

Various Worshiping Traditions in Silapathikaram

Greetings and worship have been followed for many years, Tamil literature highlights that people have been living in different parts of the land and it can be seen that there were separate deities worshiped for each part of the land. In the inner life and in the outer life, the worship of the deity has achieved excellence and it can be known through the life and worship of the ancients. Rituals are associated with human culture. There is a belief among the people that the work undertaken after worshipping deities and the work will be successful and will end well. Thus, worships have become one of the cultural traditions. Silappathikaram is a versatile repository with many known news items. Considering the contribution to the history of Tamil Nadu during the Sangam period and the knowledge of the traditions followed by the Tamils, the multifaceted traditions of deity worship in Silapathikaram are examined in this article

VoIP Adoption: Issues & Concerns

VoIP is a relatively new technology. Current research suggests that firms are using VoIP technology to cut costs, to improve productivity, and the firm\u27s strategic position. The literature is rich with how to articles and a discussion ofpossible benefits, costs, and implementation barriers. But, very few academic studies exist. The purpose of this study is to identify and present the issues related to VoIP adoption and implementation
