In such models, some equations involving empirically obtained functions of the membrane potential are usually defined. The best known of these models, the Hodgkin-Huxley model, is an example of this paradigm since it defines the conductances of ion channels in terms of the opening and closing rates of each type of gate present in the channels. These functions need to be derived from laboratory measurements that are often very expensive and produce little data because they involve a time-space-independent measurement of the voltage in a single channel of the cell membrane. In this work, we investigate the possibility of finding the Hodgkin-Huxley model’s parametric functions using only two simple measurements (the membrane voltage as a function of time and the injected current that triggered that voltage) and applying Deep Learning methods to estimate these functions. This would result in an hybrid model of the action potential generation composed by the original Hodgkin-Huxley equations and an Artificial Neural Network that requires a small set of easy-to-perform measurements to be trained. Experiments were carried out using data generated from the original Hodgkin-Huxley model, and results show that a simple two-layer artificial neural network (ANN) architecture trained on a minimal amount of data can learn to model some of the fundamental proprieties of the action potential generation by estimating the model’s rate functions.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117198731","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}

In real situations, detecting that a driver is going to turn in a particular direction at the time of entering the roundabout is not enough to implement risk reduction strategies.

The proposed method uses kinematic and position information of a vehicle a few meters before the beginning of the roundabout to feed a neural network based on Long Short-Term Memory or LSTM models, allowing to predict the probability that the vehicle will turn right, left, or go straight before entering the roundabout.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122462506","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}

A bakery company met the requirements, this company has whole wheat bread as its main product. Likewise, during its operating time, an energy performance study has not been carried out, which leads to not knowing if they make adequate use of energy, be it electrical or in the form of heat, which can cause inefficiencies in their processes.Keeping these aspects in mind, in this article an energy audit process was implemented in the bakery company, according to the guidelines of ISO 50002; structuring the stages of the audit process, using a flow diagram; identifying different opportunities for improving energy performance for equipment with higher consumption and therefore greater savings potential; evaluating these improvement opportunities, which are linked to the change of operation and maintenance; and generating recommendations that make it possible to make correct decisions regarding energy consumption and thus reduce costs of this nature.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"394 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133906990","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 network supports satellite ocean color validation activities through standardized measurements performed at different sites with a single measuring system and protocol. In January 2020 the Bahía Blanca site was established at the mouth of the main navigation channel of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, a complex system where widespread erosion and strong tidal currents are responsible for the typically high suspended loads in the channel. In this work we present a validation of three different algorithms for the atmospheric correction of Landsat-OLI scenes over the area, based on AERONET-OC data and in situ measurements obtained with a hand-held spectroradiometer. Surface remote sensing reflectance was used to retrieve satellite turbidity and the algorithm performance was tested using turbidity measurements obtained from water samples collected simultaneously with satellite overpasses. According to our results, the best fit was obtained with the atmospheric correction algorithm based on the black-pixel assumption, with the aerosol type estimated using the two OLI-SWIR bands and allowed to vary spatially (per pixel variable epsilon). The aerosol type changed along the estuary, with an epsilon parameter that commonly decreased from the inner section through the mouth. The regression line of in situ measurements with satellite turbidity showed a good performance (R2 = 0.97, n=20), with a high accuracy (RMSE = 4.03, NMAE= 0.16) and no tendency to over or underestimation (BIAS = 0.63). The application of properly validated algorithms to satellite data from high spatial resolution images allowed for the identification of detailed turbidity features in the estuary, resulting from re-suspension phenomena over banks and turbulent currents.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133004893","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}
