Published: September 2011

This paper presents a flexible structure Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network (FS-RBFNN) and its application to water quality prediction. The FS-RBFNN can vary its structure dynamically in order to maintain the prediction accuracy. The hidden neurons in the RBF neural network can be added or removed online based on the neuron activity and mutual information (MI), to achieve the appropriate network complexity and maintain overall computational efficiency. The convergence of the algorithm is analyzed in both the dynamic process phase and the phase following the modification of the structure. The proposed FS-RBFNN has been tested and compared to other algorithms by applying it to the problem of identifying a nonlinear dynamic system. Experimental results show that the FS-RBFNN can be used to design an RBF structure which has fewer hidden neurons; the training time is also much faster. The algorithm is applied for predicting water quality in the wastewater treatment process. The results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting millions of people around the world. Conventional PD detection algorithms are generally based on first and second-generation artificial neural network (ANN) models which consume high energy and have complex architecture. Considering these limitations, a time-varying synaptic efficacy function based leaky-integrate and fire neuron model, called SEFRON is used for the detection of PD.

In this study, modeling and optimization of Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of Poultry litter were conducted to convert it into high-value materials. The aim was to understand the process and predict the effect of the influencing parameters on the product properties. The recovery of Inorganic Phosphorous (IP) and Carbon (C) was regarded as the model's response, although temperature and reaction time were thought to be important variables.

Background: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is an important problem in many countries. Accurate predictions of ED patient arrivals can help management to better allocate staff and medical resources. In this study, we investigate the use of calendar and meteorological predictors, as well as feature-engineered variables, to predict daily patient arrivals using datasets from eleven different EDs across three countries.
