Moment-Based Features of Knitted Cotton Fabric Defect Classification by Artificial Neural Networks

Subrata Das et al.

Summary: The defect classification of knitted fabrics is a challenging area of research. The study found that manually trained inspectors cannot effectively detect defects. To overcome this problem, a computer-aided defect detection system is being developed using digital image processing and artificial neural network methods. The experimental results predicted the detection of a high degree of variety of fabric defects.

An Analysis of the Sliding Wear Characteristics of Epoxy-Based Hybrid Composites Using Response Surface Method and Neural Computation

Bishnu Prasad Nanda et al.

Summary: Hybrid composites are advanced materials that can easily achieve desired properties by combining fibers and fillers. This study investigates the sliding wear characteristics of a hybrid composite with epoxy, short human hair fibers (SHF), and solid glass microspheres (SGM). Results show that while SHF reinforcement enhances wear performance, the addition of SGM further improves it. Scanning electron microscopy is used to identify the wear mechanism of the composite.

Kinetic evaluation of tobacco stalk waste exposed to alkaline surface treatment under different conditions

Danieli Dalle et al.

Summary: By alkaline treating tobacco stalk waste, this study successfully reduced unwanted compounds on the surface of lignocellulosic materials, enhancing thermal stability and crystallinity, as well as improving adhesion with the matrix. The results of kinetic analysis showed that the alkaline treatment led to lower activation energy values, providing experimental basis for enhancing the performance of composite materials.

Polyurethanes synthetized with polyols of distinct molar masses: Use of the artificial neural network for prediction of degree of polymerization

Lucas Dall Agnol et al.

Summary: This study used an artificial neural network and surface response methodology models to predict the calorimetric behavior of certain polyurethane bulk polymerizations, achieving a high level of reliability in predicting reaction kinetics. The polymerization kinetics were found to be influenced by the association phenomena of -OH groups, and the applied methodology can be extended to other materials or properties of interest.

Effect of alkali treatment on microstructure and thermal stability of parenchyma cell compared with bamboo fiber

Hong Chen et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of alkali treatment on the microstructure, chemical composition, and thermal properties of bamboo parenchyma cells and fibers. It was found that alkali treatment could extract starch and remove lignin from parenchyma cells, while almost not affecting hemicellulose content. In contrast, both lignin and hemicellulose in fibers were removed after alkali treatment.

Ali Zaker et al.

Summary: The study showed that both HZSM5 and sludge-derived activated char are efficient catalysts for promoting sewage sludge pyrolysis reactions, reducing average activation energy, and effectively decreasing the generated gases. An artificial neural network model successfully simulated the kinetics of pyrolysis with high agreement between experimental and predicted values.
