“…A survey of the literature indicates that the adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference system could simulate dependency with higher prognostication ability than the artificial neural network. This fact has been significantly confirmed by some authors (Shafaei et al., 2015, 2018e, 2019c, 2019d, 2019e) for compound contributory influence of numeral and nominal input variables on output parameter.…”

Neuro-fuzzy simulation of food engineering phenomena can be a supportive manner for integrated realization of compound trends of involved parameters. This paper is aimed to develop neuro-fuzzy simulation system for characterization of hydration kinetics of sesame seeds subjected to thermic and ultrasonication schemes. The simulation system was developed based on various types and numbers of input membership functions, defuzzification methods, types of output membership functions, and numbers of training cycles. Promising performance of prominent system guaranteed its reliability for characterization of hydration kinetics on the basis of numeral variables of soaking time and temperature (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60°C) and nominal variable of soaking scheme (thermic and ultrasonication [25 kHz and 360 W]). The simulation results divulged that applying both schemes of thermic and ultrasonication (thermo-ultrasonication scheme) was more effective than individual scheme of thermic and ultrasonication in order to proliferate water absorption into the grains.However, contributory influence of the ultrasonication on water absorption was less apparent at higher soaking temperatures, and it was more dominant, when soaking time augmented. Practical applicationsIt can be asserted that the neuro-fuzzy simulation system developed and verified in this study can be practically utilized in sesame oil extraction process and industrial production of popular sesame snack food kwon as sesame paste (Tahini).

Neuro‐fuzzy simulation of food engineering phenomena can be a supportive manner for integrated realization of compound trends of involved parameters. This article is aimed to manifest neuro‐fuzzy simulation environment for prognostication of water absorption kinetics of soybean grains in thermo‐ultrasonication‐assisted soaking process. The simulation environment was developed based on various types and numbers of input membership functions, defuzzification methods, types of output membership functions, and numbers of training cycles. Promising performance of the prominent environment guaranteed its reliability for prognostication of water absorption kinetics on the basis of numeral variables of soaking time and temperature (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60°C), and nominal variable of soaking strategy (thermic and ultrasonication [25 kHz and 360 W]). The simulation results divulged that applying both strategies of thermic and ultrasonication (thermo‐ultrasonication strategy) was more effective than individual strategy of thermic and ultrasonication in order to proliferate water absorption into the grains. However, contributory influence of the ultrasonication on water absorption was less apparent at higher soaking temperatures and it was more dominant, when soaking time augmented. Practical Applications It can be asserted that the neuro‐fuzzy simulation environment manifested and verified in this study can be practically utilized in oil extraction and seed priming process, and industrial production of some popular soybean food products (Soymilk, Okara, Tofu, Shoyu, Miso, and Natto).

“…In the case of the tires with spikes in the active position, the higher difference was caused by the better traction performance of the steel spikes on the soil at a low SMC. Reference [50] demonstrated that tractor tractive efficiency was significantly increased by about 12% as the tractor mode changed from 2WD to 4WD. The special spike device with the worm gear unit allowed us to increase the tractor's tractive efficiency in the 4WD mode.…”

In general, energy loss reduction via the interaction of tires with the ground improves tractor traction performance when a drawbar pull is generated. This paper is examines the driving wheels with steel spikes for a tractor equipped with modern radial tires. An improved design of the spike device that allows for the change between an active and inactive position of the spikes is presented. The traction performance of a compact articulated tractor with the spike device was tested on a grass plot with two soil moisture contents (SMC). The highest difference in the drawbar pull in the range from 14.2% to 40.5% and from 17.1% to 36.8% was reached by the spikes in the active position in comparison with the tires without spikes, which were at the slip range from 45% to 5% in the case of the low SMC when the test tractor was in the 3rd and 1st gear. The motion resistance difference between the spikes in the active position and the tires without spikes was 11.8% and 2.5% at the low and medium SMC, respectively. At the low and medium SMC, the highest tractive efficiency of 0.765 (0.721) and 0.757 (0.731) was reached by the spikes in the active position when the test tractor was in the 1st (3rd) gear in comparison with 0.736 (0.7) and 0.723 (0.708) in the case of the tires without spikes. The results indicated that the spike device allowed for the improvement of tractor tractive performance.
