Case-based Reasoning (CBR) is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) paradigm that attempts to solve new problems based on its past experiences of solving similar problems. Due to the intrinsic similarity of CBR with human reasoning process, it is used for automated problem-solving. The effectiveness of CBR can be enhanced by combining it with other AI techniques. One such approach is the inclusion of...

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in power system protection has been addressed in this paper. Particular emphasis has been put on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL). Several novel concepts have been introduced including ANN application to CT and CVT transients correction, fuzzy criteria signals, fuzzy settings and multi-criteria decision making for digi...

An intelligence machine is a computer program that can learn from experience, i.e. modifies its processing on the basis of newly acquired information and thereafter makes decisions in a rightfully sensible manner when presented with inputs. Examples of such machine learning systems are artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, etc....

Laser Forming process as a non-contact thermal forming process is widely used to forming and bending of metallic and non-metallic sheets. In this process, according to laser irradiation along a specific path, sheet is bent. One of the most important output parameters in laser forming is bending angle that depends on process parameters such as physical and mechanical properties of materials, las...

Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable resources. Over last few decades, photovoltaic (PV) systems have grown in popularity. Since maximum power point (MPP) a solar system changes with environmental circumstances, tracking (MPPT) technique required to get out system. Various MPPT techniques based on classical and artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies been proposed literature s...

Hatching success was examined under exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) using filters to give three different light conditions [C1: UV-B, UV-A and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), C2: UV-A and PAR, C3: PAR] in red Pagrus major and black Acanthopagrus schlegeli sea bream. Hatching rate of both species was reduced by an exposure over a 2 day period to UVR and was not significa...

Ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation is a global stressor that has profound impacts on freshwater and marine ecosystems. However, an analysis of the patterns of sensitivity to UVB radiation across aquatic photosynthetic organisms has not yet been published. Here, we performed a meta-analysis on results reported in 214 studies compiled from the published literature to quantify and compare the magnitude...

Generation of electricity from solar energy is gaining popularity as a solution to the growing energy demands. The most important parameter in renewable energy applications is solar radiation. Due to intense power crisis, more and more solar energy based solutions are being purchased. Drawbacks of these solutions are long payback period and comparatively less efficiency. To improve this scenari...

The complexity of real-world problems entails many difficulties in the construction of artificial intelligence systems. In many cases, the acquisition, representation, and management of data in knowledge-based systems require methodological tools able to deal with uncertain, imprecise and incomplete knowledge. Knowledge-based systems based on fuzzy logic, for instance, have the capability of ma...
