Artificial neural networks as applied to long-term demand forecasting

This paper reports on the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to long-term load forecasting. The ANN model is used to forecast the energy requirements of an electric utility. It is then compared to time series models. The comparison reveals that the ANN produces results that are close to the actual data. The ANN model is then used to forecast the annual peak demand of a Middle Easte...

The fate of buried organic carbon in colluvial soils: a long-term perspective

Colluvial soils are enriched in soil organic carbon (SOC) in comparison to the soils of upslope areas due to the deposition and progressive burial of SOC. This burial of SOC has important implications for the global carbon cycle, but the long-term dynamics of buried SOC remain poorly constrained. We addressed this issue by determining the SOC burial efficiency (i.e. the fraction of originally d...

the differential effects of debate and media analysis as relate to enhancing efl learners critical thinking ability and writing performances

critical thinking ability has an important role in education. accordingly, scholars around the world are searching for new ways for teaching and improving students critical thinking ability. in line with the studies in efl contexts supporting the positive relationship between critical thinking and writing performances, this study investigated the differential effects of halverson’s critical thi...

Clay Mineralogy and Chemistry of Halloysite and Alunite Deposits in the Turplu Area, Balikesir, Turkey

A field-mapping and crystal-chemical study of two aluniteand halloysite-rich deposits in the Turplu area, situated northwest of Balıkesir on the Biga Peninsula of northwest Turkey reveals a mineralogically diverse and a potentially economic clay deposit. The mineral assemblage along fault zones is dominated by halloysite and sometimes alunite. The alunite is nearly end-member in composition (a ...
