Efficient Parameters Selection for CNTFET Modelling Using Artificial Neural Networks

In this article different types of artificial neural networks (ANN) were used for CNTFET (carbon nanotube transistors) simulation. CNTFET is one of the most likely alternatives to silicon transistors due to its excellent electronic properties. In determining the accurate output drain current of CNTFET, time lapsed and accuracy of different simulation methods were compared. The training data for...

Prediction of building energy consumption by using artificial neural networks

In this study, the main objective is to predict buildings energy needs benefitting from orientation, insulation thickness and transparency ratio by using artificial neural networks. A backpropagation neural network has been preferred and the data have been presented to network by being normalized. The numerical applications were carried out with finite difference approach for brick walls with a...

Application of artificial neural network (ANN) for the prediction of water treatment plant influent characteristics

Application of a reliable forecasting model for any water treatment plant (WTP) is essential in order to provide a tool for predicting influent water quality and to form a basis for controlling the operation of the process. This would minimize the operation and analysis costs, and assess the stability of WTP performances. This paper focuses on applying an artificial neural network (ANN) approac...

Comparison of Genetic and Hill Climbing Algorithms to Improve an Artificial Neural Networks Model for Water Consumption Prediction

No unique method has been so far specified for determining the number of neurons in hidden layers of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks used for prediction. The present research is intended to optimize the number of neurons using two meta-heuristic procedures namely genetic and hill climbing algorithms. The data used in the present research for prediction are consumption data of water...
