Item Crop classification using gene expression programming technique(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2013) Narasipura, O.S.; John, R.L.; Choudhry, N.; Kubusada, Y.; Bhageshpur, G.Precise classification of agricultural crops provides vital information on the type and extent of crops cultivated in a particular area. This information plays an important role in planning further cultivation activities. Image classification forms the core of the solution to the crop coverage identification problem. In this paper we present the experimental results obtained by using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) to classify the crop data obtained from satellite images. We have adopted supervised one-against-all learning technique to perform the classification of data. Gene Expression Programming provides an efficient method for obtaining classification rules in the form of a mathematical expression for a given data set containing input and output variables. We have also compared the classification efficiencies obtained with those of other classifiers namely Support vector machines and Artificial neural networks. Sensitivity Analysis has also been carried out to determine the significance of each input variable. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.Item A gene expression based quality of service aware routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks(2013) Kubusada, Y.; Mohan, G.; Manjappa, M.; Guddeti, G.Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of infrastructure less multi-hop wireless mobile nodes which communicate together to achieve the global task. Despite lack of centralized control these mobile nodes still coordinate together to deliver the message to the destination node. MANET is gaining its popularity due to its easy deployment and self-organizing ability. In spite of its unique characteristics, mobility of mobile nodes causes frequent link breakups in MANET and thus makes route setup and maintenance a critical and challenging task. As real time and multimedia applications are increasing, there is a need of an efficient Quality of Service (QoS) aware routing protocol for MANET to support such applications. In the present work, the authors proposed an efficient QoS aware routing protocol for MANET based on upcoming Gene Expression Programming. In the proposed work, the information regarding the availability of resources is managed by a resource management module, which assists in selecting the resource rich path. Further, a theoretical proof is given for the proposed model for its correctness. The results are compared with the state of art artificial neural network and support vector regression methods from the performance evaluation point of view and the results are encouraging. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.Item Intelligent Modeling for Shear Strength of RC Exterior Beam-Column Joint Subjected to Seismic Loading(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Swapnil, B.; Palanisamy, T.RC beam-column joints are subjected to impounding shear demand and bond-slip during the event of an earthquake. Accurate prediction of joint shear strength is necessary to avoid brittle shear failure in design and retrofitting procedures. In this study the accurate shear strength of RC exterior beam-column joints are predicted by providing a contemporary intelligent modeling approach through eXtreme Gradient Boosting regressor (XGBoost), an ensemble learning technique that combines several weak learners to generate a strong predictive model. From the experimental results of diverse publications on exterior beam-column joints, parameters affecting joint shear strength are found through examination of current models, and a vast database is constructed. Eleven such parameters that describe the material property, geometric configuration and bond resistance, are chosen as the inputs, and joint shear strength as the output. The model is then trained, tested and validated on this database. The performance of this model is evaluated by various regression evaluation metrics such as MSE, RMSE, and R2. Comparison of this model with the existing empirical equation, code provisions, and even with an individual ML algorithm, demonstrated its superiority over all the models in terms of accuracy and computation time. Sensitivity analysis done using predictive power score (PPS) showed that the most important parameter for the estimation of the shear strength of RC exterior beam-column joint is the percentage of beam longitudinal reinforcement. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item Predicting the Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Columns Reinforced with GFRP Rebars Using ANN Modelling(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Sumesh Manohar, G.; Palanisamy, T.In recent years most of the concrete structures are getting exposed to environments that are resulting in the corrosion of steel. To eliminate this, studies have been carried out to replace steel in RCC by Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars. In this paper, several experimental results were considered and the impacts of substituting steel by GFRP rebars were studied. Parameters affecting the load-carrying capacity of columns reinforced with GFRP rebars were identified from various literature and a database has been created. Twelve such parameters describing the material property and geometric configuration are chosen as inputs and the axial load carrying capacity as an output. An ANN model is developed with optimized architecture for predicting the compressive strength of columns reinforced with GFRP rebars. The model is then trained, tested, and validated on this database. The accuracy of the ANN model is evaluated by various regression evaluation metrics such as MSE, RMSE and R2. Comparison with the existing empirical equations and code provisions showed that the ANN model outperformed all these models. For the purpose of determining the efficiency of ANN model, a subset of the experimental data collected from work done on GFRP reinforced columns is used. Sensitivity analysis is carried out and the results showed that the most important parameters for the estimation of the strength of GFRP reinforced columns are the geometrical dimensions of the column. The results obtained showed that the ANN model is in good agreement with the experimental results. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Systems and Ensemble Methods in Joint Shear Prediction and Sensitivity Analysis(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Palkar, S.S.; Palanisamy, T.In the absence of ductile design, beam-column joints form weak links in the frame during seismic activities, hence jeopardizing the entire structure. Deducing from the views of researchers, estimation of joint shear strength of RC beam-column joint is a necessity with a complexity. This complexity highlights the importance of machine learning models due to their data handling and predictive capabilities. This study used 233 beam-column joints with 132 exterior and 101 interior joints for training and testing the ensemble machine-learning models and an Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. The performance indices of the models built and their comparison is carried out to find the optimum model to be deployed. The sensitivity analysis of the features considered was conducted to infer the differences in exterior and interior beam-column joints’ behavior. © 2023, Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH.

To quantify these watershed processes in a basin with changing spatial and temporal characteristics, public domain hydrological models incorporating inverse modeling are considered. The quantified processes aid in the decision-making, design, and development of hydrological units. But the first confusion that arises in modeling these processes is which hydrological model should be considered and what methods should be adopted to quantify the best hydrological parameters. Even though a best model is considered hydrologists assumption of parameter insensitivity and uniqueness over varying climatic conditions and space, the conditionality of model calibration with unique technique and performance indicator is prone to the poor performance of the model. Betterment of model performance can be achieved by switching parameters sensitive to varying climatic conditions and reprieving the conditionality of model calibration. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to review (i) different hydrological models available around the globe, (ii) the selection criteria for the hydrological model and the superiority of the SWAT model, (iii) the description of the SWAT model, followed by sensitivity analysis and calibration techniques involved in SWAT output, and (iv) summaries of season-based SWAT evaluation. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
