Learning Curve Consideration in Makespan Computation Using Artificial Neural Network Approach

This paper presents an alternative method using artificial neural network (ANN) to develop a scheduling scheme which is used to determine the makespan or cycle time of a group of jobs going through a series of stages or workstations. The common conventional method uses mathematical programming techniques and presented in Gantt charts forms. The contribution of this paper is in three fold. First...

Theory of mind and its neural mechanisms: A case study of Kurdish-Persian congenitally blind children in Ilam city

Introduction: Theory of mind is one of the most important aspects of cognitive faculty. The theory of mind is impaired in individuals who suffer from mental disorders like autistic children. The ‘autistic-like’ behaviors also have been reported in the congenitally blind children. This study was conducted to examine the presence or absence of theory of mind and its function in congen...

Control Theory and Economic Policy Optimization: The Origin, Achievements and the Fading Optimism from a Historical Standpoint

Economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers actively collaborated with economists on economic stability and feedback mechanisms. The theory of optimal control resulting from the contributio...

Analysis and Diagnosis of Partial Discharge of Power Capacitors Using Extension Neural Network Algorithm and Synchronous Detection Based Chaos Theory

Power capacitors are important equipment of the power systems that are being operated in high voltage levels at high temperatures for long periods. As time goes on, their insulation fracture rate increases, and partial discharge is the most important cause of their fracture. Therefore, fast and accurate methods have great importance to accurately diagnosis the partial discharge. Conventional me...
