The effects of descriptors used in the experiments (pH, amount of resin, temperature, contact time and concentration) on the removal were investigated with 36 different laboratory studies. The removal efficiency was calculated. Two regression models were developed with MLR analysis which is used to describe the effects of experiment parameters. The performances of both models developed to determine the removal efficiency of these sorption systems were found satisfactory. Statistical results indicated that Amberjet 1200H was more effective than Diaion CR11 for the removal of Cr(III).","PeriodicalId":371831,"journal":{"name":"2018 14th Symposium on Neural Networks and Applications (NEUREL)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114691622","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}

Results of experiments suggest that by low CHO estimation error, the way of CHO level announcement has low impact on algorithm quality.

The network consists of Izhikevich neurons controlling an agent which uses three sensors to associate obstacles to the defined classes in its environment. The environment is formed as a torus of revolution. The reinforcement of synapses of the control network is based on the spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), which is modulated by extracellular dopamine. The controlled agent may perform four different output actions: move forward, turn left, turn right, and release repulse beacon to avoid all obstacles with a negative impact on the agent. The testing environment has been populated with obstacles randomly placed in the torus. Experiments confirmed that the agent is able to associate negative and positive object classes in its environment. The continuation of this work was outlined in the conclusion.","PeriodicalId":371831,"journal":{"name":"2018 14th Symposium on Neural Networks and Applications (NEUREL)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133311559","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}
