An optimized BP neural network for modeling zenith tropospheric delay in the Chinese mainland using coupled particle swarm and genetic algorithm

ABSTRACT Tropospheric delay influences high-precision navigation positioning and precipitable water vapor retrieval with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Existing Zenith Tropospheric Delay (ZTD) models often struggle to accurately capture the non-linear variations in tropospheric delay. Therefore, this study employs the coupled Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with the Genetic Algorithm Back Propagation (GABP) neural network, combined with ERA5 reanalysis meteorological data, to develop an optimized model (PSO-GABP) for ZTD in the Chinese mainland. Nevertheless, ZTD data at the target point are obtained through four different methods: the integration method, model method, and GPT3 models at varying resolutions (EZTD_P, EZTD_S, GPT3_1, and GPT3_5). The analysis reveals the following: (1) The Root Mean Square (RMS) errors of the ZTD values obtained through these different methods are 1.86 cm, 3.42 cm, 3.99 cm, and 4.09 cm, respectively, when verified against GNSS_ZTD data from 2016. The optimized model yields ZTD values with the RMS error of 0.98 cm, 1.96 cm, 2.34 cm, and 2.36 cm, representing improvements of 47.3%, 42.7%, 41.4%, and 42.3% compared to the pre-optimization results. These improvements are significant; (2) The predictive capability of the constructed ZTD model is evaluated using GNSS_ZTD data from 2019 as a reference. The PSO_EZTD_P model demonstrates excellent accuracy and practicality in the Chinese mainland. As a result, the tropospheric delay optimization model based on the PSO-GABP neural network can provide valuable references for real-time GNSS navigation positioning and precipitable water vapor detection in the Chinese mainland.

Machine Learning Algorithms for Predicting and Estimating Book Borrowing in University Libraries

Accurate prediction of borrowing volume of library books is conducive to the decision-making of the managers. This study briefly introduces the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm used to predict the borrowing volume of university libraries. The factor analysis method and genetic algorithm were employed to optimize the BPNN algorithm to improve its prediction performance. The book borrowing records of 2022 from Handan College Library were considered the subject of simulation experiments. The designed algorithm was compared with the extreme gradient boosting and traditional BPNN algorithms in the experiments. The results showed that average borrowing time, book lending ratio, book return ratio, and average grade of borrowers could be used as the input features of BPNN. The improved BPNN algorithm demonstrated faster convergence and a smaller error during training. The borrowing volume predicted by the improved BPNN algorithm closely matched the actual volume, and the increase in prediction time did not lead to a significant change in the prediction error.

Regression prediction of critical exhaust volumetric flow rate in tunnel fire with two-point extraction ventilation based on neural network method

In this study, a Genetic Algorithm-Backpropagation Neural Network (GA-BPNN) model was developed to predict critical exhaust volumetric flow rate in tunnel fires with two-point extraction ventilation system. Seven influencing factors served as inputs for the model, while the critical exhaust volumetric flow rate was the output. Experimental data from two reduced-scale tunnels were utilized to both train and validate the GA-BPNN model. The results demonstrate a satisfactory prediction performance, with key metrics such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Relation Coefficient (R2), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) achieving values of 0.0384, 0.9989, and 3.5258, respectively. Importantly, the model maintains a maximum Absolute Percentage Error (APE) below 10 %. In contrast, the traditional BPNN model exhibited an APE of approximately 18.9 %. Moreover, the predictive results of the GA-BPNN model were compared with those of a previously semi-empirical formula. It was observed that the semi-empirical predictions exhibited APE exceeding 20 % for certain data points. This further underscores the superiority of the GA-BPNN model in predicting critical exhaust volumetric flow rates in tunnel fires with two-point ventilation system. These findings affirm the feasibility and effectiveness of GA-BPNN regression model as a reliable method for predicting critical exhaust volumetric flow rates under multiple factors.

Research on Failure Pressure Prediction of Water Supply Pipe Based on GA-BP Neural Network

The water supply pipeline is regarded as the “lifeline” of the city. In recent years, pipeline accidents caused by aging and other factors are common and have caused large economic losses. Therefore, in order to avoid large economic losses, it is necessary to analyze the failure prediction of pipelines so that the pipelines that are going to fail can be replaced in a timely manner. In this paper, we propose a method for predicting the failure pressure of pipelines, i.e., a genetic algorithm was used to optimize the weights and thresholds of a BP neural network. The first step was to determine the topology of the neural network and the number of input and output variables. The second step was to optimize the weights and thresholds initially set for the back propagation neural network using a genetic algorithm. Finally, the optimized back-propagation neural network was used to simulate and predict pipeline failures. It was proved by examples that compared with the separate back propagation neural network model and the optimized and trained genetic algorithm-back propagation neural network, the model performed better in simulation prediction, and the prediction accuracy could reach up to 91%, whereas the unoptimized back propagation neural network model could only reach 85%. It is feasible to apply this model for fault prediction of pipelines.

MRI radiomics and biological correlations for predicting axillary lymph node burden in early-stage breast cancer

Background and aimsPreoperative prediction of axillary lymph node (ALN) burden in patients with early-stage breast cancer is pivotal for individualised treatment. This study aimed to develop a MRI radiomics model for evaluating the ALN burden in early-stage breast cancer and to provide biological interpretability to predictions by integrating radiogenomic data.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 1211 patients with early-stage breast cancer from four centers, supplemented by data from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) and Duke University (DUKE). MRI radiomic features were extracted from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI images and an ALN burden-related radscore was constructed by the backpropagation neural network algorithm. Clinical and combined models were developed, integrating ALN-related clinical variables and radscore. The Kaplan–Meier curve and log-rank test were used to assess the prognostic differences between the predicted high- and low-ALN burden groups in both Center I and DUKE cohorts. Gene set enrichment and immune infiltration analyses based on transcriptomic TCIA and TCIA Breast Cancer dataset were used to investigate the biological significance of the ALN-related radscore.ResultsThe MRI radiomics model demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.781–0.809 in three validation cohorts. The predicted high-risk population demonstrated a poorer prognosis (log-rank P < .05 in both cohorts). Radiogenomic analysis revealed migration pathway upregulation and cell differentiation pathway downregulation in the high radscore groups. Immune infiltration analysis confirmed the ability of radiological features to reflect the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment.ConclusionsThe MRI radiomics model effectively predicted the ALN burden and prognosis of early-stage breast cancer. Moreover, radiogenomic analysis revealed key cellular and immune patterns associated with the radscore.

High-risk nuclide screening and parameter sensitivity analysis based on numerical simulation and machine learning

During nuclear accidents, large quantities of radionuclides will be released into the environment, posing serious health hazards to local residents. The screening of high-risk nuclides is critical for the development of subsequent nuclear emergency response measures. In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional screening methods, a machine learning method was proposed to screen high-risk nuclides and predict their contamination to groundwater more effectively. The performances of Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithms were compared, and sensitivity analyses of the initial leakage concentration ratio (C0/Cp), distribution coefficient (Kd) and decay coefficient (λ) on the model outputs were performed. Results showed that RF classification model achieved the highest prediction accuracy for screening high-risk nuclides. The contribution of the input parameters ranked as Kd >λ >C0/Cp. BPNN regression model was found to be the best for predicting when high-risk nuclides would pollute groundwater. The output was negatively correlated with C0/Cp and positively correlated with Kd and λ, with the parameter influence ranking as Kd >C0/Cp >λ. The contribution of Kd mainly came from itself, and the contribution of C0/Cp and λ mainly due to their interaction with other parameters.

Electromagnetic Fields Calculation and Optimization of Structural Parameters for Axial and Radial Helical Air-Core Inductors

To improve the current density distribution and electromagnetic performance of air-core inductors, a structural optimization method combining back-propagation(BP) neural network and genetic algorithm(GA) is proposed for the study of axial and radial spiral multi-winding inductors. The Monte Carlo method was used to extract the structural size samples of the inductors, and the training dataset was obtained through the finite element calculation of electromagnetic fields. Based on BP neural networks, nonlinear mapping models between the inductance value, volumetric inductance density, current distribution non-uniformity coefficient, and inductor structural parameters were constructed. A sensitivity analysis of the inductor inductance value affected by the structural parameters was conducted using the Sobol index calculation. Using the current distribution non-uniformity coefficient as the fitness function and the volumetric inductance density as the constraint condition, a genetic algorithm was applied to globally optimize the structural parameters of the inductor. The optimization results were verified through a finite element comparison. The results show that, under the requirement of satisfying the volumetric inductance density, the current distribution non-uniformity coefficient of the Axial Helical Inductor (AHI)-type inductor was reduced by 4.57% compared with the best sample in the sampling, while that of the Radial Helical Inductor (RHI)-type inductor was reduced by 5.33%, demonstrating the practicality of the BP-GA joint algorithm in the structural optimization design of inductors.

Characterization of natural fracture development in coal reservoirs using logging machine learning inversion, well test data and simulated geostress analyses

Natural fractures directly affect the permeability and mechanical strength of reservoirs, and their development degree has an important impact on the design and implementation of engineering and development projects. Although there is some correlation between logging data and fracture development, studies using algorithms to optimize logging predictions are still scarce. Meanwhile, there is a scarcity of calculations and analyses concerning the distribution of geostress at the block scale, and the pivotal role that geostress plays as a tectonic factor in the development of fractures. In this study, machine learning methods are used to predict reservoir fracture development, and regional geostress distribution patterns derived from well test data and finite element methods are combined for verification. The support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithms are used to predict the fracture development of No.15 coal reservoir in the block. The results showed that the accuracy of SVM is 83.3 %, RF is 91.6 %, XGBoost is 93.7 % and BPNN is 95.8 %. The BPNN can effectively predict the reservoir fracture development of the block. Combined with the regional finite element stress-strain analysis and geostress measurement, the prediction of No.15 coal geostress distribution and fracture development model is established. Under comprehensive verification, the established distribution of the degree of regional fracture development under the control of geostress is consistent with the results of the BPNN prediction of fracture development. These results show that the regional geostress calculated in association with finite element analysis (FEA) can reflect the development of fracture in coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs, and the neural network has good performance in predicting regional fracture development. This work provides a new approach to the application of machine learning in the field of geological engineering, and the comprehensively validated model provides geologists and geological engineers with ideas in algorithmic practice.

Root phenotype detection of rice seedling under nitrogen conditions based on terahertz imaging technique

Root phenotype detection is the basis for screening of dominant root and improving of seed breeding. The efficiency of root phenotype detection is restricted by the concealment and complexity of crop roots. In this paper, a new method based on terahertz imaging technology was proposed to detect the phenotypic characteristics of rice root and quantitatively predict root nitrogen content. First, the terahertz imaging spectral data of rice root were preprocessed with de-overlapping, reconstruction, enhancement, and segmentation. Then, the phenotypic characteristics of root length, diameter and surface area of rice roots were extracted according to the refinement algorithm. In addition, three linear regression models were fitted between root phenotype and root nitrogen content. Finally, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Genetic Algorithm-Back Propagation Neural Network (GA-BPNN), and Sparrow Search Algorithm-Support Vector Regression (SSA-SVR) were used to predict nitrogen content in rice roots by training and testing terahertz time domain data. Compared with two kinds of root phenotypic analysis software, the average errors of root length, diameter and root surface area calculated in this paper were 10.68 %, 7.29 % and 3.49 %, respectively. The fitting determination coefficients between root length, root surface area and the root nitrogen content were 0.88 and 0.87 after removing three groups of high-nitrogen data and one group of contrast data. The prediction accuracy of SSA-SVR model was 0.99 and the root mean square error was 0.05. Studies show that terahertz imaging technique can provide an effective analytical way for qualitative analysis of root phenotype.

A Photovoltaic Fault Diagnosis Method Integrating Photovoltaic Power Prediction and EWMA Control Chart

The inevitability of faults arises due to prolonged exposure of photovoltaic (PV) power plants to intricate environmental conditions. Therefore, fault diagnosis of PV power plants is crucial to ensure the continuity and reliability of power generation. This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method that integrates PV power prediction and an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart. This method predicts the PV power based on meteorological factors using the adaptive particle swarm algorithm-back propagation neural network (APSO-BPNN) model and takes its error from the actual value as a control quantity for the EWMA control chart. The EWMA control chart then monitors the error values to identify fault types. Finally, it is verified by comparison with the discrete rate (DR) analysis method. The results showed that the coefficient of determination of the prediction model of the proposed method reached 0.98. Although the DR analysis can evaluate the overall performance of the inverter and identify the faults, it often fails to point out the specific location of the faults accurately. In contrast, the EWMA control chart can monitor abnormal states such as open and short circuits and accurately locate the string where the fault occurs.

The surrogate model for short-term extreme response prediction based on ANN and Kriging algorithm

Numerical simulation is a common method for calculating the short-term extreme response of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, it requires significant computational resources. This study presents a dynamic response database for a 5MW semi-submersible FOWT under complex environmental conditions, including wind speed, effective wave height, and wave spectral peak period, using a numerical model. The peak over threshold (POT) method can be used to obtain the parametric database of short-term extreme responses, which includes the short-term extreme response distribution parameters for four responses: float surge, mooring tension, outward bending moment at the leaf root surface (OoPBM) and tower base pitching moment (TBPM). And the parameter database is applied to train models such as the Genetic Algorithm optimization Back Propagation neural network (GA-BP) and Kriging algorithm models. The research indicates that a correlation can be established between environmental conditions and short-term extreme response parameters using two algorithms. The accuracy of surrogate model prediction for some parameters can be improved by grouping the data based on wind speed and training separately. Additionally, selecting the appropriate surrogate model for each parameter separately can improve the accuracy of short-term extreme response prediction.

Then, the XGBoost algorithm is employed to output credit evaluation results. As for the training process, the thought of federated learning is integrated to distribute the model to individual participants. In such mode, the model can be updated and trained without exposing user data to the central cloud. The experiments are conducted on real-world data to assess the proposal’s performance. The results show that the proposed credit evaluation framework can achieve better accuracy, under the guarantee of user privacy.

Oil-type gas disasters are a frequently occurring concern in coal-oil-gas coexistence mines. In order to actively predict the volume of oil-type gas emissions from floor rocks, this study presents an investigative methodology to forecast the geological conditions of floor rocks in front of the roadway face by utilizing the Direct Current (DC) method. The assessment of electrical resistance in rock formations, which is widely employed for identifying geological characteristics, serves as the basis for proposing a geological anomaly index derived from rock resistivity. This index effectively characterizes the stability of rock strata, providing an indirect evaluation of fracture development. As a real-time geological detection index for floor rocks that are 100 m ahead of the roadway face, it enhances predictive capabilities. Moreover, when combined with parameters such as floor rock thickness and permeability, the paper presents simulations of oil-type gas emissions under varying geological conditions. Subsequently, an adaptive optimization of the Back Propagation (BP) neural network is achieved through the Genetic Algorithm Back Propagation Neural Network (GA-BP) model to evaluate the quantity of oil-type gas emissions in roadways. This advanced real-time prediction method is applied in Huangling coal mining to predict the oil-type gas emissions from the floor rocks in the excavation roadway area. The results show consistency with field monitoring outcomes, confirming the accuracy of the predictive model. In conclusion, this advanced real-time prediction technique enables continuous monitoring and real-time forecasting of oil-type gas emissions in front of roadways. This capability facilitates the implementation of specific measures for pre-extraction in gas disaster prevention and control, thereby ensuring the safety of coal mine production. Moreover, the versatility of this advanced real-time prediction method extends to early warnings of rock mass instability-related disasters. Through a comprehensive understanding of subsurface conditions, continuous monitoring of changes, and the application of predictive models, timely actions can be taken to reduce risks and uphold safety standards.

Furthermore, three-dimensional characterisation techniques were utilised to analyse the surface morphology characteristics of WPC during end milling. Finally, a genetic algorithm–back propagation neural network was applied to develop prediction models for resultant force and surface roughness, and optimal milling conditions were identified as axial milling depth of 0.50 mm, spindle speed of 7841 r/min, and rake angle of 15°; these produced the lowest resultant force and surface roughness. The findings of this work are proposed as a guide for better cutting performance in the industrial production of WPC.

Structural Optimization of a Giant Magnetostrictive Actuator Based on BP-NSGA-II Algorithm

This study introduces an integrated structural optimization design method based on a BP neural network and NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm. Initially, a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model of the Giant Magnetostrictive Actuator (GMA) was established, and the coupling simulation of the electromagnetic field, structural field, and temperature field was conducted to obtain the GMA’s performance parameters. Subsequently, the structural parameters of the GMA magnetic circuit, including the magnetic conducting ring, magnetic conducting sidewall, magnetic conducting body, and coil, were used as inputs, and the axial magnetic induction intensity, uniformity of axial magnetic induction intensity, and coil loss on the Giant Magnetostrictive Material (GMM) rod were used as outputs to establish a back propagation (BP) neural network model. This model delineated the nonlinear relationship between structural parameters and performance parameters. Then, the BP-NSGA-II algorithm was applied to perform multi-objective optimization on the actuator’s structural parameters, resulting in a set of Pareto optimal non-dominated solutions, from which a set of optimal solutions was obtained using the entropy weight method. Finally, simulation analysis of this optimal solution was conducted, indicating that under a 5 A power supply excitation, the maximum axial magnetic induction intensity on the optimized GMM rod increased from 0.87 T to 1.12 T; the uniformity of axial magnetic induction intensity improved from 93.1% to 96.5%; and the coil loss decreased from 7.79 × 104 W/m3 to 4.97 × 104 W/m3. Based on the optimization results, a prototype actuator was produced, and the test results of the prototype’s output characteristics proved the feasibility of this optimization design method.

Performance prediction and optimization of lateral exhaust hood based on back propagation neural network and genetic algorithm

The lateral exhaust hood (LEH) is commonly used to capture contaminated airflow in industrial plants. Its performance is influenced by numerous factors and exhibits a strong nonlinear relationship, optimizing this performance demands significant computational time and cost. This study proposes an LEH optimization design method that combines a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) with a genetic algorithm (GA), verified through experiments and numerical simulations. A BPNN prediction model is established based on 520 CFD simulation results. This study discusses seven factors influencing LEH performance, including the buoyant jet's velocity and temperature, the LEH's geometry and position, and the exhaust velocity. The results indicate that within the parameter range of the prediction model, there is a critical aspect ratio value that significantly affects LEH capture efficiency. The horizontal distance between the LEH and the pollution source significantly affects capture efficiency, especially when the LEH's installation height is low (H/D < 0.5). In addition, when combined with GA for fast searching, the expected combination of LEH design parameters can be obtained. This study aims to enhance the design efficiency of industrial exhaust hoods and improve worker health protection.
