Development of Building Thermal Load and Discomfort Degree Hour Prediction Models Using Data Mining Approaches

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Thermal load and indoor comfort level are two important building performance indicators, rapid predictions of which can help significantly reduce the computation time during design optimization. In this paper, a three-step approach is used to develop and

Learning Graphical Models Using Multiplicative Weights

open access: yes, 2017
We give a simple, multiplicative-weight update algorithm for learning undirected graphical models or Markov random fields (MRFs). The approach is new, and for the well-studied case of Ising models or Boltzmann machines, we obtain an algorithm that uses a

Modeling Properties with Artificial Neural Networks and Multilinear Least-Squares Regression: Advantages and Drawbacks of the Two Methods [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
The mean molecular connectivity indices (MMCI) proposed in previous studies are used in conjunction with well-known molecular connectivity indices (MCI) to model eleven properties of organic solvents. The MMCI and MCI descriptors selected by the stepwise multilinear least-squares (MLS) procedure were used to perform artificial neural network (ANN ...

The use of activated carbon derived from spent coffee grounds as a reusable, sustainable, and effective solution for the removal of butylparaben from water

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Parabens, including butylparaben (BP), are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, yet are poorly removed by conventional water treatment processes and pose potential risks to aquatic life and human health.

Estimation of the recharging rate of groundwater using random forest technique

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2020
Accurate knowledge of the recharging rate is essential for several groundwater-related studies and projects mainly in the water scarcity regions. In this study, a comparison between different methods of soft computing-based models was obtained in order ...

Calibration and Validation of a Measurements-Independent Model for Road Traffic Noise Assessment

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The assessment of road traffic noise is very important for the health of people living in urban areas. Noise is usually assessed by field measurements, and predictive models play an important role when experimental data are not available.

Diagnostic Value of Glycocalyx Shedding in Blood for Differentiating between Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood–brain barrier disruption is increasingly recognized in synucleinopathies, but the role of the endothelial glycocalyx (GLX) in Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) remains unclear. Objectives The aim was to determine whether plasma GLX markers differ between PD, MSA, and healthy controls (HC), relate to ...
