In this work, the effect of uncertainties present in various input variables is studied on shale oil yield and flue gases. This study is focused on evaluation of most sensitive input variables that affect the oil yield. Oil shale retorting plant data is generated through interfacing of Aspen Plus, MS Excel 2010 and MATLAB R2018a. Least square boosting (LSBoost) model was used for virtual sensing of generated data and predicted the target outputs. Sensitivity analysis was performed using Sobol and Fourier amplitude sensitivity test to evaluate the effect of individual input variable on target outcomes of the process.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121143632","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 most common leaf disease of these vegetables is downy mildew, blight leaf disease, and leaf spot. This paper mainly considers identifying the diseased region of the leaves using the image segmentation technique and presents experimentation of the desired number of clusters k. To address the objectives, image acquisition, pre-processing, segmentation, and emphasizing the affected portion of the leaves are all part of the process of the proposed method. The images were transformed into grayscale and removed from the background using Otsu’s thresholding method. K-means clustering algorithm was applied to segment the different regions of the sample images. Finally, the clustered images were then analyzed using a median filter to emphasize the region of interest of the affected leaves. With the different number of clusters k used, k = 4 was successfully segmented the diseased portion, and it was confirmed by the elbow method. Further, the infected area of the sample images was presented in different colors. Also, the proposed method provides a 96.90% accuracy compared to other image segmentation techniques. Image segmentation has become an effective tool in various applications in the agricultural sector.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116054315","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}

To develop such BCI applications, the accurate classification of motor-imagery based electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial. By processing a publicly available EEG dataset, we obtained information that can be used to train neural networks and efficiently classify activities performed by volunteers. In this paper we used several data pre-processing methods and examined how they affect the classification performance of a feedforward neural network. As the results were not satisfactory with the feedforward network, the data prepared with the best pre-processing method were also used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN). We achieved an accuracy of 91.27% in classifying fists and feet closing activities using data from ten volunteers.","PeriodicalId":328338,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2021 - 19th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116213218","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}

Due to the ever-increasing sensor load (radar, electronic warfare, radio, camera, etc.), aircraft need more bandwidth and higher broadband communication backbones. Legacy protocols such as ARINC-429 and MIL-STD-1553 used in the communication of these modules are insufficient to meet the increased bandwidth requirements of today’s aircraft. However, these legacy networks are highly reliable and deterministic, as avionics systems require. For this reason, different technologies have been developed without losing their quality of service and suitability for critical systems. Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) protocol, a special application of ARINC-664 Part 7, patented by Airbus, has come to the fore in recent years. Another prominent solution is the Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTEthernet) protocol, patented by TTTech.

These days, skin problems are very common in day-to-day life. There may be many reasons for skin diseases: unbalanced and impure diet, several types of pollutions, or maybe family heredity. However, if skin disease after a long treatment does not show any sign of improvement or the skin cells grow abnormally, this may lead to skin cancer. There are many forms of skin cancer. For early and timely diagnosis of skin cancer, an efficient technique is required at utmost importance. Many people across the globe lost their lives due to the late diagnosis. Therefore, a technique that is cost-effective, quicker, and easily accessible needs a higher demand. These days for the classification of images, machine learning, and deep learning techniques proved to be the most efficient approach. In this paper, the dataset of several images of a benign and malignant tumor was taken and pre-processed. Once all the images were pre-processed, they are ready to fed in several CNN models. These models extract the features and pass the images to several machine learning classifiers for the classification of moles as benign or malignant.

Out of the 1713 male and female subjects, 768 female subjects were studied to investigate the prevalence of AD and MCI, those diagnosed with AD and MCI and their associated risk factors. The study data were gathered from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Twenty potential clinical features were included; comprised of a combination of demographic, cerebral spinal fluid, cognitive, diffusion tensor imaging, electroencephalography, genetic, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography testing variables. The regression analysis metrics R-squared, F-statistic, Omnibus, Durbin-Watson, Coefficient and Standard error, were used to evaluate the model. Our results showed that cognitive assessment metrics were highly significant among the other testing biomarkers. Additionally, we determined the significance of each clinical variable.
