The present work aimed to evaluate and optimize the design of an artificial neural network (ANN) combined with an optimization algorithm of genetic algorithm (GA) for the calculation of slope stability safety factors (SF) in a pure cohesive slope. To make datasets of training and testing for the developed predictive models, 630 finite element limit equilibrium (FELE) analyses were performed. Similar to many artificial intelligence-based solutions, the database was involved in 189 testing datasets (e.g., 30% of the entire database) and 441 training datasets; for example, a range of 70% of the total database. Moreover, variables of multilayer perceptron (MLP) algorithm (for example, number of nodes in any hidden layer) and the algorithm of GA like population size was optimized by utilizing a series of trial and error process. The parameters in input, which were used in the analysis, consist of slope angle (β), setback distance ratio (b/B), applied stresses on the slope (Fy) and undrained shear strength of the cohesive soil (Cu) where the output was taken SF. The obtained network outputs for both datasets from MLP and GA-MLP models are evaluated according to many statistical indices. A total of 72 MLP trial and error (e.g., parameter study) the optimal architecture of 4 × 8 × 1 were determined for the MLP structure. Both proposed techniques result in a proper performance; however, according to the statistical indices, the GA–MLP model can somewhat accomplish the least mean square error (MSE) when compared to MLP. In an optimized GA–MLP network, coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) values of (0.975, and 0.097) and (0.969, and 0.107) were found, respectively, to both of the normalized training and testing datasets.

This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of nondestructive pipeline testing using ultrasonic imaging. The identification of the flaw type and its dimensions are the most important problems in the pipeline inspection. Unlike typical methods, a decision based neural network is used for the detection of flaws. We train a generalized regression neural network to determine the dimensions of the corrosions and generate the whole image of both the internal and external walls of the oil pipeline. As an improvement to the detection algorithm, we introduce fuzzy decision-based neural network algorithms for the detection and classification of the corrosions. The simulation and experimental systems results show that these new methods outperform the existing methods. 相似文献
Identical twins pose a great challenge to face recognition due to high similarities in their appearances. Motivated by the psychological findings that facial motion contains identity signatures and the observation that twins may look alike but behave differently, we develop a talking profile to use the identity signatures in the facial motion to distinguish between identical twins. The talking profile for a subject is defined as a collection of multiple types of usual face motions from the video. Given two talking profiles, we compute the similarities of the same type of face motion in both profiles and then perform the classification based on those similarities. To compute the similarity of each type of face motion, we give higher weights to more abnormal motions which are assumed to carry more identity signature information. 相似文献
31P Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of human erythrocyte lysates dissolved in sodium cholate were acquired. The narrow
resonances of phospholipids were mostly well resolved, allowing identification and accurate quantitative analysis of phospholipid
classes of the erythrocyte membranes. The ether-linked phosphatidylethanolamine components of the erythrocyte membranes were
identified, based on the removal of plasmalogens by acidolysis and of diacyl phospholipid species by degradation using phospholipase
A1. It was also shown that the introduction of double bonds on the acyl chains of phosphatidylcholine shifted the31P NMR resonances to lower frequencies. Quantitative analyses of phospholipids from the spectra were based on their apparent
molar concentrations. The recoveries of phospholipids from erythrocytes were significantly higher than those using conventional
extraction procedures. 相似文献
A variety of heteropolyanions including: Keggin, Dawson, Preyssler, mixed addenda and sandwich types, catalyzed the formation of 4-methylnaphtho-(1,2-b)-pyran-2-one (coumarin) from the condensation of α-naphthol and ethylacetoacetate in a solvent free system and under heating conditions. Our data vividly indicate that sodium30–tungsto pentaphosphate, [NaP5W30O110]14−, which so-called Preyssler’s anion, with high hydrolytic (pH 0–12) and thermal stability is the catalyst of choice. This catalyst catalyzed the synthesis of other coumarin derivatives in high yields and good selectivity. 相似文献
