Artificial intelligence (AI) systems such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to solve, predict and optimize in engineering problems in the last decade. Present study assesses the capability of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in estimating viscosity of lubricants used in the lubrication of journal bearings. Using neural networks instead of running various tests to predict lubricant viscosity reduces costs and eliminates the necessity of using various devices and instruments by the researcher. The data of SAE 10, 20, 30, and 40 lubricants were used to train the neural networks. Back propagation (BP) error algorithm employed to networks training. Also, lubricant temperature was used as the input and its viscosity as the output of the simulation. In order to increase the accuracy of network training, a separate network was learned for each grade of lubricant, and the structure of each neural network and the effective parameters were optimized for each lubricant type through trial-and-error so that they would make more accurate predictions. The results of this simulation show that the error of neural networks in estimating lubricant viscosity in SAE 10, 20, 30, and 40 lubricants are in very small range, which indicate the capability of neural networks in the estimation of the desired parameters.","PeriodicalId":416001,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the The International Conference on Engineering & MIS 2015","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131324013","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}

One of the prime challenges in mining medical datasets is handling missing values which is part of preprocessing phase. In this paper, we address the issue of handling missing values in medical dataset consisting of categorical attribute values.

To fill in this gap, this paper presents a new adaptive tuning approach between sensor nodes and the resource directory to adjust the frequency of updates based on the battery level of the sensing node.

In order to prevent damage of the electrical energy distribution infrastructure, companies typically use transformers with digital meters that allow monitoring in real time, certain parameters like the amount of transformed energy. In several underdeveloped countries as Paraguay, the meters are installed only on a limited number of key transformers. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the power consumption for the unmetered transformers using existing measurements. For this aim, this paper proposes the application of Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) to find good estimates of the power consumption of unmetered transformers. The proposal is compared with an analytical consumption estimation model proposed in a previous related work, being 13% better on average and 41% better in the best case. Dimensionality reduction proves to be useful to speed up calculation without losing much precision in the LGP estimations.","PeriodicalId":416001,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the The International Conference on Engineering & MIS 2015","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131452585","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}

However, computation of the algorithm could be costly and slow in solving problems involving computation intensive, Expensive Black Box (EBB) function due to the high number of objective function evolution required. This work proposes a new strategy which integrates meta-modeling techniques with DIRECT for solving EBB problems. The principal idea of the new approach is to use meta-modeling techniques, such as Kriging, to assist DIRECT to identify the optimum with less number of function evolutions. Specifically, the new approach starts with DIRECT search with a number of iterations and then uses the resulting points in Kriging to construct the meta-model. The best point predicted by Kriging search will then be used by DIRECT as new initial point. As a result, the entire search domain will gradually shrink to the region enclosing the possible optimum. Several runs are carried out to avoid high number of function evaluations to obtain the approximation solution at each stage. The newly proposed method has been tested using ten commonly used benchmark functions. All these tests showed significant improvements over the original DIRECT for EBB design problems.","PeriodicalId":416001,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the The International Conference on Engineering & MIS 2015","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133975539","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 Weibull distribution is the well-known and suggested distribution in estimating wind energy potential. However, in order to predict wind energy more correctly, new and flexible statistical distributions have been proposed in the last decade. In this study, we introduce a new modified Weibull distribution (MWD) for modelling wind speed and estimating wind power density and also we test MWD versus the classical Weibull distribution on real wind speed data measured in various regions of Turkey. The results of the analysis indicate that MWD suits well for most of the examined wind data cases.

The considered robust methods are evaluated for both clear and contaminated real wind data cases. It was found that the considered robust methods provides reliable results when it is taken into account in the case of real wind speed data cases. Also, the certain robust methods for the Weibull distribution yield less mean power density error than classical methods in the case of wind speed data with outliers.
