Artificial neural networks (ANN) approach for modeling of removal of Lanaset Red G on Chara contraria

A three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) was constructed to predict the removal efficiency of Lanaset Red (LR) G on Chara contraria based on 2304 experimental sets. The effects of operating variables (particle size, adsorbent dosage, pH regimes, dye concentration, and contact time) were studied to optimize the sorption conditions of this dye. The operating variables were used as the input to the constructed neural network to predict the dye uptake at any time as the output. This adsorbent was characterized by FTIR. Pseudo second-order model was also fitted to the experimental data. According to values of error analyses and determinations coefficient, the ANN was more appropriate to describe this adsorption process. Result of this model indicated that pH regimes had the highest importance effect (49%) on the dye uptake.     

Prediction of siRNA knockdown efficiency using artificial neural network models

Selective knockdown of gene expression by short interference RNAs (siRNAs) has allowed rapid validation of gene functions and made possible a high throughput, genome scale approach to interrogate gene function. However, randomly designed siRNAs display different knockdown efficiencies of target genes. Hence, various prediction algorithms based on siRNA functionality have recently been constructed to increase the likelihood of selecting effective siRNAs, thereby reducing the experimental cost. Toward this end, we have trained three Back-propagation and Bayesian neural network models, previously not used in this context, to predict the knockdown efficiencies of 180 experimentally verified siRNAs on their corresponding target genes. Using our input coding based primarily on RNA structure thermodynamic parameters and cross-validation method, we showed that our neural network models outperformed most other methods and are comparable to the best predicting algorithm thus far published. Furthermore, our neural network models correctly classified 74% of all siRNAs into different efficiency categories; with a correlation coefficient of 0.43 and receiver operating characteristic curve score of 0.78, thus highlighting the potential utility of this method to complement other existing siRNA classification and prediction schemes.     

Prediction of MHC binding peptide using Gibbs motif sampler,weight matrix and artificial neural network

The identification of MHC restricted epitopes is an important goal in peptide based vaccine and diagnostic development. As wet lab experiments for identification of MHC binding peptide are expensive and time consuming, in silico tools have been developed as fast alternatives, however with low performance. In the present study, we used IEDB training and blind validation datasets for the prediction of peptide binding to fourteen human MHC class I and II molecules using Gibbs motif sampler, weight matrix and artificial neural network methods. As compare to MHC class I predictor based on sequence weighting (Aroc=0.95 and CC=0.56) and artificial neural network (Aroc=0.73 and CC=0.25), MHC class II predictor based on Gibbs sampler did not perform well (Aroc=0.62 and CC=0.19). The predictive accuracy of Gibbs motif sampler in identifying the 9-mer cores of a binding peptide to DRB1 alleles are also limited (40¢), however above the random prediction (14¢). Therefore, the size of dataset (training and validation) and the correct identification of the binding core are the two main factors limiting the performance of MHC class-II binding peptide prediction. Overall, these data suggest that there is substantial room to improve the quality of the core predictions using novel approaches that capture distinct features of MHC-peptide interactions than the current approaches.

Prediction of enzymes and non-enzymes from protein sequences based on sequence derived features and PSSM matrix using artificial neural network

The problem of predicting the enzymes and non-enzymes from the protein sequence information is still an open problem in bioinformatics. It is further becoming more important as the number of sequenced information grows exponentially over time. We describe a novel approach for predicting the enzymes and non-enzymes from its amino-acid sequence using artificial neural network (ANN). Using 61 sequence derived features alone we have been able to achieve 79 percent correct prediction of enzymes/non-enzymes (in the set of 660 proteins). For the complete set of 61 parameters using 5-fold cross-validated classification, ANN model reveal a superior model (accuracy = 78.79 plus or minus 6.86 percent, Q(pred) = 74.734 plus or minus 17.08 percent, sensitivity = 84.48 plus or minus 6.73 percent, specificity = 77.13 plus or minus 13.39 percent). The second module of ANN is based on PSSM matrix. Using the same 5-fold cross-validation set, this ANN model predicts enzymes/non-enzymes with more accuracy (accuracy = 80.37 plus or minus 6.59 percent, Q(pred) = 67.466 plus or minus 12.41 percent, sensitivity = 0.9070 plus or minus 3.37 percent, specificity = 74.66 plus or minus 7.17 percent).     

Prediction model of PSO-BP neural network on coliform amount in special food

Special food safety supervision by means of intelligent models and methods is of great significance for the health of local people and tourists. Models like BP neural network have the problems of low accuracy and poor robustness in food safety prediction. So, firstly, the principal component analysis was used to extract the key factors that influenced the amount of coliform communities, which was applied to reduce the dimension of this model as the input variable of BP neural network. Secondly, both the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and BP neural network were implemented to optimize initial weights and threshold to obtain the optimal parameter, and a model was constructed to predict the amount of coliform bacteria in Dai Special Snacks, Sa pie, based on PSO-BP neural network model. Finally, the predicted value of the model is verified. The results show that MSE is 0.0097, MAPE is 0.3198 and MAE is 0.0079, respectively. It was clear that PSO-BP model was better accuracy and robustness. That means, this model can effectively predict the amount of coliform. The research has important guiding significance for the quality and the production of Sa pie.     

Prediction model of DnBP degradation based on BP neural network in AAO system

A laboratory-scale anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) system was established to investigate the fate of DnBP. A removal kinetic model including sorption and biodegradation was formulated, and kinetic parameters were evaluated with batch experiments under anaerobic, anoxic, oxic conditions. However, it is highly complex and is difficult to confirm the kinetic parameters using conventional mathematical modeling. To correlate the experimental data with available models or some modified empirical equations, an artificial neural network model based on multilayered partial recurrent back propagation (BP) algorithm was applied for the biodegradation of DnBP from the water quality characteristic parameters. Compared to the kinetic model, the performance of the network for modeling DnBP is found to be more impressive. The results showed that the biggest relative error of BP network prediction model was 9.95%, while the kinetic model was 14.52%, which illustrates BP model predicting effluent DnBP more accurately than kinetic model forecasting.     

Prediction of ground reaction forces during gait based on kinematics and a neural network model

Kinetic information during human gait can be estimated with inverse dynamics, which is based on anthropometric, kinematic, and ground reaction data. While collecting ground reaction data with a force plate is useful, it is costly and requires regulated space. The goal of this study was to propose a new, accurate methodology for predicting ground reaction forces (GRFs) during level walking without the help of a force plate. To predict GRFs without a force plate, the traditional method of Newtonian mechanics was used for the single support phase. In addition, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was applied for the double support phase to solve statically indeterminate structure problems. The input variables of the ANN model, which were selected to have both dependency and independency, were limited to the trajectory, velocity, and acceleration of the whole segment's mass centre to minimise errors. The predicted GRFs were validated with actual GRFs through a ten-fold cross-validation method, and the correlation coefficients (R) for the ground forces were 0.918 in the medial–lateral axis, 0.985 in the anterior–posterior axis, and 0.991 in the vertical axis during gait. The ground moments were 0.987 in the sagittal plane, 0.841 in the frontal plane, and 0.868 in the transverse plane during gait. The high correlation coefficients(R) are due to the improvement of the prediction rate in the double support phase. This study also proved the possibility of calculating joint forces and moments based on the GRFs predicted with the proposed new hybrid method. Data generated with the proposed method may thus be used instead of raw GRF data in gait analysis and in calculating joint dynamic data using inverse dynamics.     

Application of artificial neural network model for the development of optimized complex medium for phenol degradation using <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas pictorum</Emphasis> (NICM 2074)

Biodegradation of phenol using Pseudomonas pictorum (NICM 2074) a potential biodegradant of phenol was investigated for its degrading potential under different operating conditions. The neural network input parameter set consisted of the same set of four levels of maltose (0.025, 0.05, 0.075 g/l), phosphate (3, 12.5, 22 g/l), pH (7, 8, 9) and temperature (30°C, 32°C, 34°C) on phenol degradation was investigated and a Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was developed to predict the extent of degradation. The learning, recall and generalization characteristic of neural networks was studied using phenol degradation system data. The efficiency of the model generated by the ANN, was tested and compared with the results obtained from an established second order polynomial multiple regression analysis (MRA). Further, the two models (ANN and MRA) were used to predict the percentage of degradation of phenol for blind test data. Performance of both the models were validated in the cases of training and test data, ANN was recommended based on the following higher coefficient of determination R ²; lower standard error of residuals and lower mean absolute percentage deviation.     

Biosorption of Acid Black 172 and Congo Red from aqueous solution by nonviable Penicillium YW 01: Kinetic study, equilibrium isotherm and artificial neural network modeling

The main objective of this work was to investigate the biosorption performance of nonviable Penicillium YW 01 biomass for removal of Acid Black 172 metal-complex dye (AB) and Congo Red (CR) in solutions. Maximum biosorption capacities of 225.38 and 411.53 mg g⁻¹ under initial dye concentration of 800 mg L⁻¹, pH 3.0 and 40 °C conditions were observed for AB and CR, respectively. Biosorption data were successfully described with Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Weber-Morris model analysis indicated that intraparticle diffusion was the limiting step for biosorption of AB and CR onto biosorbent. Analysis based on the artificial neural network and genetic algorithms hybrid model indicated that initial dye concentration and temperature appeared to be the most influential parameters for biosorption process of AB and CR onto biosorbent, respectively. Characterization of the biosorbent and possible dye-biosorbent interaction were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Designing of an artificial neural network model to evaluate the association of three combined Y-specific microsatellite loci on the actual and predicted postthaw motility in crossbred bull semen

The freezing of bull semen significantly hamper the motility of sperm which reduces the conception rate in dairy cattle. The prediction of postthaw motility (PTM) before freezing will be useful to take the decision on discarding or freezing of the germplasm. The artificial neural network (ANN) methodology found to be useful in prediction and classification problems related to animal science, and hence, the present study was undertaken to compare the efficiency of ANN in prediction of PTM on the basis of the number of ejaculates, volume, and concentration of sperms. The combined effect of Y-specific microsatellite alleles on the actual and predicted PTM was also studied. The results revealed that the prediction accuracy of PTM based on the semen quality parameters was comparatively lower because of higher variability in the data set. The ANN gave better prediction accuracy (34.88%) than the multiple regression analysis models (32.04%). The root mean square error was lower for ANN (8.4353) than that in the multiple regression analysis (8.6168). The haplotype or combined effect of microsatellite alleles on actual and predicted PTM was found to be highly significant (P < 0.01). On the basis of results, it was concluded that the ANN methodology can be used for prediction of PTM in crossbred bulls.
