For improvement of the end-use quality, it is of significant importance to enhance the quality of fused filament fabrication (FFF)-printed objects in PLA. The purpose of this investigation was to boost toughness and to reduce the production cost of the FFF-printed tensile test samples with the desired part thickness. To remove the need for numerous and idle printing samples, the response surface method (RSM) was used. Statistical analysis was performed to deal with this concern by considering extruder temperature (ET), infill percentage (IP), and layer thickness (LT) as controlled factors. The artificial intelligence method of artificial neural network (ANN) and ANN-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) were further developed to estimate the toughness, part thickness, and production-cost-dependent variables. Results were evaluated by correlation coefficient and RMSE values. According to the modeling results, ANN-GA as a hybrid machine learning (ML) technique could enhance the accuracy of modeling by about 7.5, 11.5, and 4.5\% for toughness, part thickness, and production cost, respectively, in comparison with those for the single ANN method. On the other hand, the optimization results confirm that the optimized specimen is cost-effective and able to comparatively undergo deformation, which enables the usability of printed PLA objects.}, subject = {3D-Druck}, language = {en} } @article{LashkarAraKalantariSheikhKhozanietal., author = {Lashkar-Ara, Babak and Kalantari, Niloofar and Sheikh Khozani, Zohreh and Mosavi, Amir}, title = {Assessing Machine Learning versus a Mathematical Model to Estimate the Transverse Shear Stress Distribution in a Rectangular Channel}, series = {Mathematics}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Mathematics}, number = {Volume 9, Issue 6, Article 596}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/math9060596}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210504-44197}, pages = {15}, abstract = {One of the most important subjects of hydraulic engineering is the reliable estimation of the transverse distribution in the rectangular channel of bed and wall shear stresses. This study makes use of the Tsallis entropy, genetic programming (GP) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methods to assess the shear stress distribution (SSD) in the rectangular channel. To evaluate the results of the Tsallis entropy, GP and ANFIS models, laboratory observations were used in which shear stress was measured using an optimized Preston tube. This is then used to measure the SSD in various aspect ratios in the rectangular channel. To investigate the shear stress percentage, 10 data series with a total of 112 different data for were used. The results of the sensitivity analysis show that the most influential parameter for the SSD in smooth rectangular channel is the dimensionless parameter B/H, Where the transverse coordinate is B, and the flow depth is H. With the parameters (b/B), (B/H) for the bed and (z/H), (B/H) for the wall as inputs, the modeling of the GP was better than the other one. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the use of GP and ANFIS algorithms is more effective in estimating shear stress in smooth rectangular channels than the Tsallis entropy-based equations.}, subject = {Maschinelles Lernen}, language = {en} } @article{BandJanizadehChandraPaletal., author = {Band, Shahab S. and Janizadeh, Saeid and Chandra Pal, Subodh and Saha, Asish and Chakrabortty, Rabbin and Shokri, Manouchehr and Mosavi, Amir Hosein}, title = {Novel Ensemble Approach of Deep Learning Neural Network (DLNN) Model and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm for Prediction of Gully Erosion Susceptibility}, series = {Sensors}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Sensors}, number = {Volume 20, issue 19, article 5609}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/s20195609}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210122-43341}, pages = {1 -- 27}, abstract = {This study aims to evaluate a new approach in modeling gully erosion susceptibility (GES) based on a deep learning neural network (DLNN) model and an ensemble particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with DLNN (PSO-DLNN), comparing these approaches with common artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) models in Shirahan watershed, Iran. For this purpose, 13 independent variables affecting GES in the study area, namely, altitude, slope, aspect, plan curvature, profile curvature, drainage density, distance from a river, land use, soil, lithology, rainfall, stream power index (SPI), and topographic wetness index (TWI), were prepared. A total of 132 gully erosion locations were identified during field visits. To implement the proposed model, the dataset was divided into the two categories of training (70\%) and testing (30\%). The results indicate that the area under the curve (AUC) value from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) considering the testing datasets of PSO-DLNN is 0.89, which indicates superb accuracy. The rest of the models are associated with optimal accuracy and have similar results to the PSO-DLNN model; the AUC values from ROC of DLNN, SVM, and ANN for the testing datasets are 0.87, 0.85, and 0.84, respectively. The efficiency of the proposed model in terms of prediction of GES was increased. Therefore, it can be concluded that the DLNN model and its ensemble with the PSO algorithm can be used as a novel and practical method to predict gully erosion susceptibility, which can help planners and managers to manage and reduce the risk of this phenomenon.}, subject = {Geoinformatik}, language = {en} } @article{SadeghzadehMaddahAhmadietal., author = {Sadeghzadeh, Milad and Maddah, Heydar and Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein and Khadang, Amirhosein and Ghazvini, Mahyar and Mosavi, Amir Hosein and Nabipour, Narjes}, title = {Prediction of Thermo-Physical Properties of TiO2-Al2O3/Water Nanoparticles by Using Artificial Neural Network}, series = {Nanomaterials}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Nanomaterials}, number = {Volume 10, Issue 4, 697}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/nano10040697}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200421-41308}, abstract = {In this paper, an artificial neural network is implemented for the sake of predicting the thermal conductivity ratio of TiO2-Al2O3/water nanofluid. TiO2-Al2O3/water in the role of an innovative type of nanofluid was synthesized by the sol-gel method. The results indicated that 1.5 vol.\% of nanofluids enhanced the thermal conductivity by up to 25\%. It was shown that the heat transfer coefficient was linearly augmented with increasing nanoparticle concentration, but its variation with temperature was nonlinear. It should be noted that the increase in concentration may cause the particles to agglomerate, and then the thermal conductivity is reduced. The increase in temperature also increases the thermal conductivity, due to an increase in the Brownian motion and collision of particles. In this research, for the sake of predicting the thermal conductivity of TiO2-Al2O3/water nanofluid based on volumetric concentration and temperature functions, an artificial neural network is implemented. In this way, for predicting thermal conductivity, SOM (self-organizing map) and BP-LM (Back Propagation-Levenberq-Marquardt) algorithms were used. Based on the results obtained, these algorithms can be considered as an exceptional tool for predicting thermal conductivity. Additionally, the correlation coefficient values were equal to 0.938 and 0.98 when implementing the SOM and BP-LM algorithms, respectively, which is highly acceptable.

However, like other traditional data mining methods, applying it on big data comes with computational challenges. Indeed, KNN determines the class of a new sample based on the class of its nearest neighbors; however, identifying the neighbors in a large amount of data imposes a large computational cost so that it is no longer applicable by a single computing machine. One of the proposed techniques to make classification methods applicable on large datasets is pruning. LC-KNN is an improved KNN method which first clusters the data into some smaller partitions using the K-means clustering method; and then applies the KNN for each new sample on the partition which its center is the nearest one. However, because the clusters have different shapes and densities, selection of the appropriate cluster is a challenge. In this paper, an approach has been proposed to improve the pruning phase of the LC-KNN method by taking into account these factors. The proposed approach helps to choose a more appropriate cluster of data for looking for the neighbors, thus, increasing the classification accuracy. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated on different real datasets. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its higher classification accuracy and lower time cost in comparison to other recent relevant methods.}, subject = {Maschinelles Lernen}, language = {en} } @article{AhmadiBaghbanSadeghzadehetal., author = {Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein and Baghban, Alireza and Sadeghzadeh, Milad and Zamen, Mohammad and Mosavi, Amir and Shamshirband, Shahaboddin and Kumar, Ravinder and Mohammadi-Khanaposhtani, Mohammad}, title = {Evaluation of electrical efficiency of photovoltaic thermal solar collector}, series = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics}, number = {volume 14, issue 1}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, doi = {10.1080/19942060.2020.1734094}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200304-41049}, pages = {545 -- 565}, abstract = {In this study, machine learning methods of artificial neural networks (ANNs), least squares support vector machines (LSSVM), and neuro-fuzzy are used for advancing prediction models for thermal performance of a photovoltaic-thermal solar collector (PV/T).

It can lead to false WakeUp or idle listening in radio duty cycles and ContikiMAC. ContikiMAC is a low-power radio duty-cycle protocol in Contiki OS used in WakeUp mode, as a clear channel assessment (CCA) for checking radio status periodically. This paper presents a detailed analysis of radio WakeUp time factors of ContikiMAC. Furthermore, we propose a lightweight CCA (LW-CCA) as an extension to ContikiMAC to reduce the Radio Duty-Cycles in false WakeUps and idle listening though using dynamic received signal strength indicator (RSSI) status check time.

In the congestion prevention phase, the proposed method chooses the next step of the path using the Fuzzy decision-making system to distribute network traffic via optimal paths. In the congestion detection phase, a dynamic approach to queue management was designed to detect congestion in the least amount of time and prevent the collision. In the congestion control phase, the back-pressure method was used based on the quality of the queue to decrease the probability of linking in the pathway from the pre-congested node.
