Artificial Neural Network (ANN) For Evaluating Permeability Decline in Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB)

Application of artificial neural network (ANN) for the prediction of water treatment plant influent characteristics

Application of a reliable forecasting model for any water treatment plant (WTP) is essential in order to provide a tool for predicting influent water quality and to form a basis for controlling the operation of the process. This would minimize the operation and analysis costs, and assess the stability of WTP performances. This paper focuses on applying an artificial neural network (ANN) approac...

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models for PA lifespan

More than 60% of the Dutch motorways are covered with a porous asphalt wearing course (PA). In spite of many advantages of PA its lifespan is mostly short which causes high maintenance costs. Lifespan of PA is defined by its main damage being raveling. The main factors which cause raveling are asphalt construction/mixture and environmental factors. Therefore it is important to determine to what...

In Silico Prediction of Blood Brain Barrier Permeability: An Artificial Neural Network Model

This paper has two objectives: first to develop an in silico model for the prediction of blood brain barrier permeability of new chemical entities and second to find the role of active transport specific to the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate probability in blood brain barrier permeability. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been developed to predict the ratios of the steady-state con...

Prediction of Time of Capillary Rise in Porous Media Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to analyse the capillary rise in porous media. Wetting experiments were performed with fifteen liquids and fifteen different powders. The liquids covered a wide range  of  surface  tension ( 15.45-71.99  mJ/m2 )  and  viscosity (0.25-21 mPa.s). The powders also provided an acceptable range of particle size (0.012-45 μm) and surface free...
