Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic, lifelong metabolism disorder that affects the ability of the body system to use the energy found in food. People living with high blood sugar will experience polyuria (frequent urination), which will make them to become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia) .The improper management of this disease can lead to complication such as cardiovascula...

The feed-forward multilayer networks (perceptrons, radial basis function networks (RBF), probabilistic networks, etc.) are currently used as „static systems“ in pattern recognition, speech generation, identification and control, prediction, etc. (see, e. g. [1]). Theoretical works by several researchers, including [2] and [3] have proved that, even with one hidden layer, a perceptron neural net...

Railway traffic controllers have only limited decision support to deal with disruptions. The aim of this research is to provide an algorithm to compute conflict-free routes for trains that cannot continue their planned operation due to a track obstruction. In case of complete blockage, trains need to short-turn at the closest possible station to the disturbed area and provide services in the op...

Machining processes such as end milling are the main steps of production which have major effect on the quality and cost of products. Surface roughness is one of the considerable factors that production managers tend to implement in their decisions. In this study, an artificial neural network is proposed to minimize the surface roughness by tuning the conditions of machining process such as cut...

The color of the blends of pre-colored fibers depends on the ratio of each fiber in the blends. Some theories have been introduced for color matching of blends of pre-colored fibers. Most however, are restricted in scope and accuracy. Kubelka and Munk presented the most applicable theory, which is still used in industry. In this work, the classical Kubelka-Munk method for color prediction of a ...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems operate online and test different materials using ultrasonic guided waves and piezoelectric smart materials. These systems are permanently installed on the structures and display information on the monitor screen. The user informs the engineers of the existing damage after observing signal loss which appears after damage is caused. In this paper health...
