Activities of nanostructure HZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 catalysts (with different Co-loading) for catalytic conversion of ethyl acetate and toluene were studied. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method and were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and ICP-AES techniques. Catalytic studies were carried out inside a U-shaped fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. Toluene showed lower reactivity than ethyl acetate for conversion on Co-ZSM-5 catalysts. The effect of Co loading on conversion was prominent at temperatures below $400^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$ for ethyl acetate and toluene respectively. In a binary mixture of organic compounds, toluene and ethyl acetate showed an inhibition and promotional behaviors respectively, in which the conversion of toluene was decreased at temperatures above $350^{\circ}C$. Inhibition effect of water vapor was negligible at temperatures above $400^{\circ}C$. An artificial neural networks model was developed to predict the conversion efficiency of ethyl acetate on Co-ZSM-5 catalysts based on experimental data. Predicted results showed a good agreement with experimental results. ANN modeling predicted the order of studied variable effects on ethyl acetate conversion, which was as follows: reaction temperature (50%) > ethyl acetate inlet concentration (25.085%) > content of Co loading (24.915%).

Numerous studies have been performed on the behavior of pile foundations in cold regions. This study first attempted to employ artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict pile-bearing capacity focusing on pile data recorded primarily on cold regions. As the ANN technique has disadvantages such as finding global minima or slower convergence rates, this study in the second phase deals with the development of an ANN-based predictive model improved with an Elephant herding optimizer (EHO), Dragonfly Algorithm (DA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Evolution Strategy (ES) methods for predicting the piles' bearing capacity. The network inputs included the pile geometrical features, pile area (m²), pile length (m), internal friction angle along the pile body and pile tip (Ø°), and effective vertical stress. The MLP model pile's output was the ultimate bearing capacity. A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the optimum parameters to select the best predictive model. A trial-and-error technique was also used to find the optimum network architecture and the number of hidden nodes. According to the results, there is a good consistency between the pile-bearing DA-MLP-predicted capacities and the measured bearing capacities. Based on the R2 and determination coefficient as 0.90364 and 0.8643 for testing and training datasets, respectively, it is suggested that the DA-MLP model can be effectively implemented with higher reliability, efficiency, and practicability to predict the bearing capacity of piles.

한국어 문-음성 합성 시스템(TTS: Text-To-Speech)은 합성음의 자연스러움을 증가시키기 위해 운율 발생 알고리듬을 만들어 시스템에 적용하고 있다. 운율 법칙은 각국의 언어에 대한 언어학적 정보나 자연음에서 구한 운율에 대한 지식을 기반으로 음성 합성 시스템에 적용하고 있다. 그러나 이렇게 구한 운율 법칙이 자연음에 존재하는 모든 운율 법칙을 포함할 수도 없고, 또 추출한 운율 법칙이 틀린 법칙이라면, 합성음의 자연감이나 이해도는 떨어질 것이므로, TTS의 실용화에 장애가 될 수 있다. 이러한 점을 감안하여 본 논문에서는 자연음에 내재하는 운율을 학습할 수 있는 인공 신경망을 이용한 운율발생 신경망을 제안하였다. 훈련단계에서 인공 신경망의 입력 단에 한국어 문장의 음소 열을 차례로 이동시켜 인가하면 입력 단의 중앙에 해당하는 음소의 운율 정보가 출력되도록 훈련시킬 때, 목표 패턴을 이용한 감독학습을 통해, 자연음에 내재하는 운율을 학습하도록 하였다. 평가 단계에서 문장의 음소 열을 입력하고, 추정율을 측정하여 인공 신경망이 한국어 문장에 내재하는 운율을 학습하여 발생시킬 수 있음을 살펴보았다.

In the risk assessment of urban railway systems, a hazard log is created by identifying hazards from accident and failure data. Then, based on a risk matrix, evaluators analyze the frequency and severity of the occurrence of the hazards, conduct the risk assessment, and then establish safety measures for the risk factors prior to risk control. However, because subjective judgments based on the evaluators' experiences affect the risk assessment results, a more objective and automated risk assessment system must be established. In this study, we propose a risk assessment model in which an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which is combined in artificial neural networks (ANN) and fuzzy inference system (FIS), is applied to the risk assessment of urban railway systems. The newly proposed model is more objective and automated, alleviating the limitations of risk assessments that use a risk matrix. In addition, the reliability of the model was verified by comparing the risk assessment results and risk control priorities between the newly proposed ANFIS-based risk assessment model and the risk assessment using a risk matrix. Results of the comparison indicate that a high level of accuracy was demonstrated in the risk assessment results of the proposed model, and uncertainty and subjectivity were mitigated in the risk control priority.

The factors affecting the shear strength of the angle shear connectors in the steel-concrete composite beams can play an important role to estimate the efficacy of a composite beam. Therefore, the current study has aimed to verify the output of shear capacity of angle shear connector according to the input provided by Support Vector Machine (SVM) coupled with Firefly Algorithm (FFA). SVM parameters have been optimized through the use of FFA, while genetic programming (GP) and artificial neural networks (ANN) have been applied to estimate and predict the SVM-FFA models' results. Following these results, GP and ANN have been applied to develop the prediction accuracy and generalization capability of SVM-FFA. Therefore, SVM-FFA could be performed as a novel model with predictive strategy in the shear capacity estimation of angle shear connectors. According to the results, the Firefly algorithm has produced a generalized performance and be learnt faster than the conventional learning algorithms.

An integrated approach for prostate cancer detection using proteomic data is presented. Due to the high-dimensional feature of proteomic data, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used in the first-stage for data reduction as well as noise removal. After the process of DWT, the dimensionality is reduced from 43,556 to 1,599. Thus, each sample of proteomic data can be represented by 1599 wavelet coefficients. In the second stage, a voting method is used to select a common set of wavelet coefficients for all samples together. This produces a 987-dimension subspace of wavelet coefficients. In the third stage, the Autoassociator algorithm reduces the dimensionality from 987 to 400. Finally, the artificial neural network (ANN) is applied on the 400-dimension space for prostate cancer detection. The integrated approach is examined on 9 categories of 2-class experiments, and also 3- and 4-class experiments. All of the experiments were run 10 times of ten-fold cross-validation (i. e. 10 partitions with 100 runs). For 9 categories of 2-class experiments, the average testing accuracies are between 81% and 96%, and the average testing accuracies of 3- and 4-way classifications are 85% and 84%, respectively. The integrated approach achieves exciting results for the early detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer.

The classification of hyperspectral imagery (HSI) is essential in the surface of earth observation. Due to the continuous large number of bands, HSI data provide rich information about the object of study; however, it suffers from the curse of dimensionality. Dimensionality reduction is an essential aspect of Machine learning classification. The algorithms based on feature extraction can overcome the data dimensionality issue, thereby allowing the classifiers to utilize comprehensive models to reduce computational costs. This paper assesses and compares two HSI classification techniques. The first is based on the Joint Spatial-Spectral Stacked Autoencoder (JSSSA) method, the second is based on a shallow Artificial Neural Network (SNN), and the third is used the SVM model. The performance of the JSSSA technique is better than the SNN classification technique based on the overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient values. We observed that the JSSSA based method surpasses the SNN technique with an overall accuracy of 96.13% and Kappa coefficient value of 0.95. SNN also achieved a good accuracy of 92.40% and a Kappa coefficient value of 0.90, and SVM achieved an accuracy of 82.87%. The current study suggests that both JSSSA and SNN based techniques prove to be efficient methods for hyperspectral classification of snow features. This work classified the labeled/ground-truth datasets of snow in multiple classes. The labeled/ground-truth data can be valuable for applying deep neural networks such as CNN, hybrid CNN, RNN for glaciology, and snow-related hazard applications.
