The performance of a fluidized-bed reactor (FBR) based sulfate reducing bioprocess was predicted using artificial neural network (ANN). The FBR was operated at high (65 degrees C) temperature and it was fed with iron (40-90 mg/ L) and sulfate (1,000-1,500 mg/L) containing acidic (pH = 3.5-6) synthetic wastewater. Ethanol was supplemented as carbon and electron source for sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). The wastewater pH of 4.3-4.4 was neutralized by the alkalinity produced in acetate oxidation and the average effluent pH was 7.8 +/- 0.8. The oxidation of acetate is the rate-limiting step in the sulfidogenic ethanol oxidation by thermophilic SRB, which resulted in acetate accumulation. Sulfate reduction and acetate oxidation rates showed variation depending on the operational conditions with the maximum rates of 1 g/L/d (0.2 g/g volatile solids (VS)/d) and 0.3 g/L/d (0:06 g/g VS/d), respectively. This study presents an ANN model predicting the performance of the reactor and determining the optimal architecture of this model; such as best back-propagation (BP) algorithm and neuron numbers. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was selected as the best of 12 BP algorithms and optimal neuron number was determined as 20. The developed ANN model predicted acetate (R=0.91), sulfate (R=0.95), sulfide (R=0.97), and alkalinity (R=0.94) in the FBR effluent. Hence, the ANN based model can be used to predict the FBR performance, to control the operational conditions for improved process performance.

Estimation of thermally stimulated current in as grown TlGaSeS layered single crystals by multilayered perceptron neural network Kucuk, Ilker; Yildirim, Tacettin; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ozkan, Husnu (Elsevier BV, 2011-6) This paper presents an artificial neural network approach to compute thermally stimulated current (TSC) in as-grown T1GaSeS layered single crystals. The experimental data have been obtained from TSC measurements. The network has been trained by a genetic algorithm (GA). The results confirmed that the proposed model could provide an accurate computation of the TSC.
Neural network based online estimation of maneuvering steady states and control limits Gürsoy, Gönenç; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) This thesis concerns the design and development of neural network based predictive algorithms to predict approaching aircraft limits. Therefore, approximate dynamics of flight envelope parameters such as angle of attack and load factor are constructed using neural network augmented dynamic models. Then, constructed models are used to predict steady state responses. By inverting the models and solving for critical controls at the known envelope limits, critical control inputs are calculated as well. The perf...
Artificial-neural-network prediction of hexagonal lattice parameters for non-stoichiometric apatites Kockan, Umit; Ozturk, Fahrettin; Evis, Zafer (2014-01-01) In this study, hexagonal lattice parameters (a and c) and unit-cell volumes of non-stoichiometric apatites of M-10(TO4)(6)X-2 are predicted from their ionic radii with artificial neural networks. A multilayer-perceptron network is used for training. The results indicate that the Bayesian regularization method with four neurons in the hidden layer with a tansig activation function and one neuron in the output layer with a purelin function gives the best results. It is found that the errors for the predicted ...
An experimental study on Power Amplifier linearisation by artificial neural networks Yapay Sinir Aǧlari ile Güç Yükselteç Doǧrusalląstirma Amaçli Deneysel Bir Çalisma Yesil, Soner; Kolagasioglu, Ahmet Ertugrul; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2018-07-05) This paper represents an experimental study on the linearisation of Power Amplifiers especially on high output power regions by utilizing an artificial neural network structure and open-loop training method. For the same in-band output power, 9dB EVM and 6dB ACLR improvement has been observed on hardware by feeding the proposed digital predistortion signal (DPD) to the PA under test.
Neural network based orbit prediction for a geostationary satellite Kutay, Ali Türker; Tulunay, Ersin; Tekinalp, Ozan (null; 2001-05-23) An artificial Neural Network (NN) model was developed to estimate the semi-major axis (a), the eccentricity (e) and the inclination (i) of a geostationary satellite orbit. To facilitate a comparison between the NN model developed herewith and a real case, the TORKSAT lB geostationary satellite has been taken as example. A code that numerically solves the parameters of the TORKSAT's orbit, namely METUAEE1, is used to generate the training data for the NN model and to evaluate its performance. A Multi-La...
