In this study, a MATLAB script was developed to aid in the development of artificial neural network (ANN) models by Screening Out the better ANN architectures for the cases studied. Then, the script was applied for modeling of activated sludge process (ASP) for two different cases. In the first one, a hypothetical wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was considered. The input and Output data for the training of the ANN models were generated using a simulation model, which was an implementation of the Activated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM 1). The results indicated high correlation coefficient (R) between the observed and predicted output variables, reaching up to 0.980. In the second case, ANN modeling of ASP in the Iskenderun Wastewater Treatment Plant (IskWWTP) was studied. Resulting maximum R value was 0.795 for the predicted effluent chemical oxygen demand (CODeff) Values. Moreover, CODeff was forecasted using another effluent parameter.

Determination of three-phase relative permeabilty values by using an artificial neural network model
Karaman, T; Demiral, BMR (Informa UK Limited, 2004-08-01)
In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) tool, which uses the data obtained from a pore network (PN) model, was developed in order to obtain three-phase relative permeability values. During the development of this ANN tool, four different stages were implemented in which ANN structures were changed in order to find the best architecture that would predict the oil isoperms correctly. By using the data obtained from the PN model, training was implemented and the prediction power of that tool was test...
Model Predictive control(MPC)performance for controlling reaction systems
Aşar, Işık; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
In this study, the performance of the Model Predictive Controller (MPC) algorithm is investigated in two different reaction systems. The first case is a saponification reaction system where ethyl acetate reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium acetate and ethanol in a CSTR. In the reactor, temperature and sodium acetate concentration are controlled by manipulating the flow rates of ethyl acetate and cooling water. The model of the reactor is developed considering first principal models. The experimen...
A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01)
This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.
Analysis of single Gaussian approximation of Gaussian mixtures in Bayesian filtering applied to mixed multiple-model estimation
Orguner, Umut (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01)
This paper examines the effect of the moment-matched single Gaussian approximation, which is made in various multiple-model filtering applications to approximate a Gaussian mixture, on the Bayesian filter performance. The estimation error caused by the approximation is analysed for both the prediction and the measurement updates of a Bayesian filter. An approximate formula is found for the covariance of the error caused by the approximation for a general Gaussian mixture with arbitrary components. The calcu...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation
Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
