The total fiber volume fraction was kept at ~0.21, where four hybrid ratios, and two span-to-depth ratios were used. The E-glass was arranged unidirectionally and placed right on the surface of a bottom mold and wetted using the matrix, and the SPF was then evenly poured on the wet E-glass arrangement in randomly oriented pattern. Specimen preparation and testing were carried out according to the ASTM D790 standard, where the E-glass sides were placed in tension sides of the beams.

It is a neurodegenerative ailment that is clinically very difficult to identify due to a high degree of overlap in characterized symptoms. Unlike other ailments, the primary constraint regarding PSP is the limited research work in this area. The main aim of our study is to establish a generalized model by comparing traditional custom CNN and transfer learning models such as DenseNet121, ResNet50, InceptionV3, VGG16, EfficientNetB0, Xception, MobileNet and InceptionResNetV2 which are fine tuned for the detection and classification of PSP with higher accuracy rates. Existing research has primarily focused on reducing the time complexity of neural networks and has only had success with low-level features. Furthermore, obtaining a significant volume of distributed labelled data is difficult. In our research, 125 T1 protocol based high resolution MRI images of 65 PSP and 60 normal control patients were considered. The image dataset is pre-processed, normalized and augmented before deploying them to the respective networks. The results propose that ‘InceptionResNetV2’ model can be considered as a generalised model for the detection and classification of PSP. The network offered a classification accuracy of 95%, Precision of 100%, Sensitivity of 92.8%, F1 score of 96.2% and a Specificity of 100% which is significantly higher compared to other models considered in the study and also the existing conventional ML models, thereby providing a prerequisite for significant diagnostic implementation.","PeriodicalId":15073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research and Technology","volume":"2009 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140416271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nature of milling operations and the tool geometry make it difficult to predict or measure the temperature during the machining process, which is why great attention has been paid to measurement and prediction methodologies of cutting temperature during milling. In this work, a new intelligent identification technique of the cutting temperature based on the fuzzy set theory has been proposed to replace the strategy based on the operator qualification. This technique uses a fuzzy multiple input inference system to determine the influence of the cutting parameters on the cutting temperature. The fuzzy modeling is based on an experimental database resulting from the non-contact measurement of cutting temperature using an infrared camera with an emissivity setting adapted to the material. The results of the fuzzy system show that the fuzzy model is able to specify results providing a very good correlation between the experimental data and those predicted. The average error of the model was approximately 2.242%. The parameters used for the validation of the model were different from the data used for the construction of the fuzzy rules. The results showed that the most important parameter on the cutting temperature is depth of cut. The results obtained in this paper show that the developed model can be applied to predict the cutting temperature with precision during the milling process.","PeriodicalId":15073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45430194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This waste material is usually composed of different metal oxides that include basic cations such Ca, Mn, and Mg. These cations can favor alkalinity and a heavy metals removal when they are partially dissolved in a contaminant solution such as acid mine drainage (AMD). This work aims to study the potential use of SMS produced in converter furnaces in the mining-steel region of Boyacá- Colombia as an alternative to pre-treat AMD produced by coal mining in the zone. The SMS were separated into two particle sizes by screening, and these were put in contact with AMD samples in a rotational mixing system for 36h. The pH, total Fe (Fe2+, 3+), SO42-, and heavy metals concentration were analyzed at 0h, 12h, 24h, and 36h time intervals. The final results show that SMS produced in the region is an optimal low-cost alternative to treat AMD, allowing complete heavy metals removal in the firsts 12h of treatment. Furthermore, Fe and SO42- removal were observed, reaching 99.9% and 85%, respectively, at 36h. The application of rotational mixing allows complete mixing between AMD and SMS, reducing the possible precipitates adhesion on the surface, limiting the reactivity losses. This mixing treatment device favors a continuous use, avoiding the application of cleaning stages that could be required in the future for optimal functioning.","PeriodicalId":15073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49099913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: This article, therefore, focuses on classifying the current literature and pinpointing trends and challenges worth investigating in this research field. Method: A systematic mapping of the literature was designed and performed based on well-established practical guidelines. In total, 35 primary studies were selected, analyzed, and categorized after applying a careful filtering process from a corpus of 894 candidate studies to answer six research questions. Results: The main results are that a majority of the primary studies (1) explore Bloater bad smells, (2) use code complexity and size as predictors, (3) apply machine learning techniques to generate predictions, and (4) present a prediction proposal without an extensive empirical assessment.
