Evaluation of Deep Sea Discharge Systems Efficiency in the Eastern Black Sea Using Artificial Neural Network: a Case Study for Trabzon, Turkey

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, salinity, biological oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solid, ammonia, chlorophyll-a and heavy metals affecting total coliform values in seawater using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modelling at the Eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey. The results obtained from ANN model were compared with actual total coliform values. The samples were taken from the different points selected along the deep sea discharge systems starting from the diffuser end of three domestic deep sea discharge systems at Turkey's Eastern Black Sea coast. ANN model was developed for estimating the relationship between total coliform and other parameters. The parameters measured in seawater samples were analyzed by using the ANN model for prediction of coliform values. The results showed that neural network model is capable of estimating the sea pollution with a reasonable accuracy.

Determination of quality grade of tobacco leaf by image processing on correlated color temperature

“…The remainder of the dataset was used at 15% for testing and 15% for validation. Since the accuracy of the estimation largely depends on covering all data levels, the randomization process was repeated until a satisfactory level of data distribution was achieved 32 …”

Prediction of Secondary Metabolites Content of Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) with Artificial Neural Networks Based on Different Temperatures and Storage times

“…ANNs can identify and learn the correlation patterns between independent variables and corresponding target variables when the underlying relationship is unknown and can then use this knowledge to predict the dependent variables based on new independent variable data sets [13]. In essence, ANNs perform nonlinear mapping or pattern recognition [14][15][16]. If a set of input data corresponds to a specifc pattern, the network can be trained to produce a corresponding desired pattern at the output [17,18].…”

Convolutional neural network-based recognition method for volleyball movements

“…It adopts hierarchical processing mechanism and can automatically learn advanced features from input data layer by layer. Therefore, deep learning successfully replaces manual feature extraction methods through unsupervised or semi-supervised feature learning and hierarchical feature extraction algorithms [ 7 ]. Convolution neural network (CNN) is a depth model, which directly and alternately performs convolution and sub-sampling operations on the original input image, and gradually obtains layered complex features [ 8 ].…”
