It is proposed to create a separate environmental (or more narrowly: climate protection) regulation, the elements of which could include a reduction in the business tax on companies that use renewable energy or build green roofs, while increasing the tax on companies that leave their car parks without trees planted and maintained in suitable conditions; the co-operation between the maintainer of green areas and the operators of public utilities should be extended and deepened, it should be regulated that not only the road operator but also the green area maintenance department should be notified in advance and at the same time when utilities perform maintenance or renovation on underground cables, or horticultural supervision in the event of such interventions. Green city regulation can be defining afforestation and greening requirements in traditionally built streets; setting strict replacement requirements for any felling and the procedure for financing actions formulated within the framework of other measures, the establishment of a climate protection fund. The present paper is an empirical study looking for the answer to how much the local population percieves the city as green and why.","PeriodicalId":339156,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132453535","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}

We review the irreversible and reversible mathematical models that describe the kinetics of hemoglobin A1c formation. To estimate the mean age of red blood cells, we used a method based on the gamma distribution. Estimation of hemoglobin A1c was performed by using the proposed rate equations for the chemical reactions between glucose levels and changes in the concentration of hemoglobin A0, aldimine intermediate and glycosylated hemoglobin. We compare measured and estimated hemoglobin A1c values to cA1culate their standard deviation. The application of the kinetic mathematical model leads to a small standard deviation between the estimated and measured hemoglobin A1c values.","PeriodicalId":339156,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122202975","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 transformer is one of the fundamental devices in power distribution that provides a means to link high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage networks in addition to galvanic isolation. Classical transformers utilize magnetic coupling with a turn ratio between coils to achieve this basic functionality, but they are bulky, expensive, and do not provide additional smart features. The use of a power electronics transformer (PET), also called a solid-state transformer (SST), has been introduced in the literature using a three-phase to single-phase converter to solve this problem. However, the focus was mainly on the inverter and a basic diode rectifier was used without RES integration. This paper bridged this gap by replacing it with a bidirectional converter and investigating its performance using solar power connected to the DC-link of the three-phase to single-phase solid-state transformer. The bidirectional SST was verified using simulations and the results show that the SST is able to maintain the balance between the three-phase system and the integrated renewable sources while providing bidirectional power flow with high efficiency and low Total Harmonic Distortion.","PeriodicalId":339156,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"369 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115986770","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}

Without the implementation of appropriate countermeasures, congestion can escalate, leading to unfavorable impacts on other aspects of the traffic network. As a result, there is a greater need for reliable and optimal traffic control. The goal of this research is to manage the number of vehicles entering the main freeway from the ramp merging area, in order to balance the demand and capacity to satisfy the maximum utilization of the freeway capacity. Despite extensive research into different ramp metering techniques, this study aims to utilize the fuzzy cognitive map as a macroscopic traffic flow model in conjunction with the Q-learning algorithm. This combination prevents freeway congestion and maintains optimal performance by keeping freeway density below a key threshold. The inherent uncertainty of traffic conditions is addressed through the application of reinforcement learning, which is constructed on the principles of the Markov decision process. This approach represents an exploration-exploitation trade-off, as implemented through the Q-learning algorithm. The proposed technique was evaluated for its efficacy in the regulation of freeway ramp metering in both controlled and uncontrolled simulations. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in the control of the mainstream traffic flow.","PeriodicalId":339156,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116168301","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}

Also, one benefit of this method is to prevent drug resistance. In order to improve the efficiency of the in vivo experiments, mathematical optimization is needed. We implemented a chemotherapeutical drug dosing algorithm based on a fuzzy logic search that is providing an initial value for a model predictive control system that calculates the minimum dose using a linear quadratic fitness function. This results in a suboptimal drug dose therapy plan. These results seem satisfactory in order to replace the traditional chemotherapy plans in the nearby future.","PeriodicalId":339156,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122703745","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 this article, a case study is presented on estimating the probability of rainfall using response surface method (RSM). After analyzing real data, a third-order surface model is presented for estimating the rainfall probability (the input parameters are the daily average temperature and the daily average humidity, and the output parameter is the summarized amount of the daily rainfall). It can be revealed that the presented method can be suitable for describing the real-time data used with sufficient accuracy.
