Abstract

Lumbar spine stenosis (LSS) is a common reason for low back pain, which refers to anatomical spinal canal stenosis. It often causes pressure on the nerve elements due to the surrounding soft tissue and bone. Due to the huge number of spinal injuries, manual diagnosis of lumbar spine stenosis by radiologists is tedious or time-consuming. Therefore, Deep learning techniques have become a more helpful tool to overcome this problem. For this purpose, this study employed the YOLO-v5 to develop an LSS detection model on a dataset of lumbar spine MRI scans from 153 patients with symptomatic low back pain. The dataset was filtered to include 84 mid-sagittal images using annotation techniques. The detection model is utilized to classify the intervertebral disc (IVD) condition as either bulging or normal. The results obtained showed that the model achieved an accuracy exceeding 88% in detecting and classifying the lumbar spine vertebra. The developed models showed that they are effective for lumbar intervertebral disc classification.

Abstract

This paper applied an artificial intelligence technique to control Variable Speed in a wind generator system. One of these techniques is an offline Artificial Neural Network (ANN-based system identification methodology, and applied conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller). ANN-based model predictive (MPC) and remarks linearization (NARMA-L2) controllers are designed, and employed to manipulate Variable Speed in the wind technological knowledge system. All parameters of controllers are set up by the necessities of the controller's design. The effects show a neural local (NARMA-L2) can attribute even higher than PID. The settling time, upward jab time, and most overshoot of the response of NARMA-L2 is a notable deal an awful lot less than the corresponding factors for the accepted PID controller. The conclusion from this paper can be to utilize synthetic neural networks of industrial elements and sturdy manageable to be viewed as a dependable desire to normal modeling, simulation, and manipulation methodologies. The model developed in this paper can be used offline to structure and manufacturing points of conditions monitoring, faults detection, and troubles shooting for wind generation systems.

Abstract

Global agriculture employs central pivot irrigation system(CPIS) as a highly significant method for intelligent irrigation. Cultivating crucial crops like wheat and other strategically important crops that occupy extensive land areas contributes to global food security. The Central Pivot Irrigation System encounters technical issues that result in malfunctions in its automatic control system. These malfunctions occasionally cause damage to the primary pipes and towers that operate the system, resulting in significant material losses for farmers and agricultural crops. Moreover, the repair process is time-consuming. Therefore, to address this issue, this study employed the YOLOv5 models to accurately identify and detect defects in the CPIS machine by determining whether they are in a safe or dangerous state. The dataset that was used in this study was gathered from agricultural areas in Salah al-Din Governorate. The CPIS detection model yielded the following results: the grayscale color system with Yolov5n achieved a 98 % detection rate with accuracy and F1-score values of 0.866. Similarly, Yolov5m achieved a 98 % detection rate with accuracy and F1-score values of 0.804. In the RGB color system, the maximum results achieved with Yolov5n are 97 % for accuracy and 0.812 for F1-score. On the other hand, Yolov5s6 achieves a result of 95 % for accuracy and 0.82 for both F1-score and accuracy. Based on the aforementioned outcome, we can infer that yolov5s6 accurately detects the CPIS in both its safe and dangerous states. Therefore, they can be deployed in a real-time system for CPIS defect monitoring and control systems.
