Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Acoustic Analysis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder using Transfer Learning - a Three-Class Problem   Order a copy of this article
    by John Amose, P. Manimegalai, Amritha M, Thomas George S 
    Abstract: This study involves a comparative analysis of deep learning and transfer learning techniques for diagnosing the respiratory disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Unlike many previous machine learning approaches to this problem, we consider it as a three-class problem. Clinicians are required to inform the patient whether they have COPD, or are healthy, or have an unknown respiratory disorder, making this a three-class classification challenge. We use the ICBHI 2017 respiratory challenge dataset for training and evaluation, with the 'unhealthy' class encompassing data from all other respiratory diseases. To preserve time-series information, we transform lung sounds into Mel Spectrograms. We train and test both a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a VGG16 model, and the VGG16 model outperforms the CNN with an impressive 95% accuracy.
    Keywords: Lung Sound; Convolutional Neural Network (CNN); Mel Spectrogram; VGG16; COPD; Transfer Learning; pulmonary sounds; Precision; Recall; F1 score; Accuracy.

  • Performance Enhancement of DC Motor Drive for Electric Vehicle Application by Using Deep Neural Network   Order a copy of this article
    by Anurag Singh, Shekhar Yadav, Nitesh Tiwari, Sandesh Patel 
    Abstract: In order to address the drawbacks of conventional proportional-integral (PI) controllers, including their inability to effectively handle nonlinearity, parameter fluctuations, and external disturbances, this research proposes a deep learning (DL)-based controller for DC motor drives in electric vehicles (EVs). The development of a Custom Neural Network (CNN) controller is contrasted with Neural Net Fitting (NNF) and PI controllers. The CNN controller is implemented and evaluated under various failure conditions and speed fluctuations after the DC motor drive system has been modelled. The CNN controller reduces overshoot by 25%, settling time by 30%, and speed tracking accuracy by 20%, according to the results. It keeps the system stable during high-resistance faults with a torque variation of only 15 Nm, whereas the PI controller becomes unstable when the torque variation reaches 25 Nm. This research comes to the conclusion that DL-based CNN controllers notably improve EV motor driving performance and dependability.

  • Enhancing Decision Making with Soft Set Theory: a Novel Approach to Object Recognition from Imprecise Data   Order a copy of this article
    by Surendra Nath Bhagat, Premansu Sekhar Rath, Anirban Mitra 
    Abstract: Soft set theory is useful mathematical paradigm for dealing with imprecise information and controlling uncertainty. By offering parameterised family of subsets defined over a universal set of parameters, it allows for flexibility in handling uncertainty in a variety of situations. Using soft set theory to express ambiguous problem parameters is still difficult, despite its benefits. With an emphasis on parameter reduction to expedite the selection of ideal objects, this paper explores the function of soft set theory in decision-making. Parameter reduction increases efficiency by streamlining decision making procedures while preserving crucial information. Additionally, a comparison table built using fuzzy soft set is used in a novel approach to object detection from imprecise data. In unpredictable situations, this approach increases decision-making accuracy and dependability. The study illustrates the potential of soft and fuzzy soft sets to improve decision-making processes through real-world situations, showcasing their adaptability and resilience in dealing with uncertainty.
