An Expert System Structured in Paraconsistent Annotated Logic for Analysis and Monitoring of the Level of Sea Water Pollutants

Abstract

This chapter presents the development of a Expert System which was elaborated based on the Fundamentals of Paraconsistent Annotated Logic and aimed to help in the process of detection of physiological stress in organisms exposed to water pollution. The Paraconsistent Logic is a non-classical logic present as their main characteristics the acceptance of the contradiction in their structure. It is presented in this study the algorithms extracted from a type of Paraconsistent Logic nominated Paraconsistent Annotated Logic with annotation of two values PAL2v that are capable of simulating the applied methodology in Biology known as a neutral red retention assay. This method of biomarkers prepared with specific procedures has the goal of finding rates of exposure to marine pollution through the manipulation and study of cells from mussels. It was built a configuration of Paraconsistent Artificial Neural Network (PANN) composed of algorithms based on the principals of Paraconsistent Logic to compose the Expert System with the goal of simulating the biological method and help in the presentation of the cellular response. The process of analysis elaborated by the software consists of making a comparison with pre-established patterns through the Paraconsistent Network by biochemical/biological processes consolidated in the biology area and defined in the scope on the mussels cells’ measures that presented determined behavior and biochemical reactions, as it is the biomarker of exposure and effect of marine pollution in the site of the samples collection. With this new approach of results, besides complete, they are presented as being more efficient by decreasing the points of uncertainty given by simple human observation. This way this work opens new fields for research of application of Artificial Intelligence techniques in the analysis and monitoring of the Marine Pollution.
