... spray coating optimization relies heavily on trial-and-error methods, achieving limited coating uniformity (70%–80%) and restricting durability to 3–5 years. This study aims to systematically evaluate the role of artificial neural networks (ANNs) as advanced tools for optimizing thermal spray coatings...

... systems and data mining (artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms specifically) are the new technologies with probably the widest applicability to the water industry. This paper introduces basic concepts of hydroinformatics and data mining, explains the process by which they may be applied...
