An artificial neural network (ANN) model is presented for the prediction of kinematic viscosity of binary mixtures of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) in water as a function of temperature, number-average molecular weight and mass fraction. Kinematic viscosities data of aqueous solutions for PEG (0.55419×10 – 9.875×10 m2/s) were obtained from the literature for a wide range of temperatures (277.15 ...

awareness of the level of river flow and its fluctuations at different times is one of the significant factor to achieve sustainable development for water resource issues. therefore, the present study two hybrid models, wavelet- adaptive neural fuzzy interference system (wanfis) and wavelet- artificial neural network (wann) are used for flow prediction of gamasyab river (nahavand, hamedan, iran...

The main problem of vehicle vibration comes from road roughness. An active suspension systempossesses the ability to reduce acceleration of sprung mass continuously as well as to minimizesuspension deflection, which results in improvement of tire grip with the road surface. Thus, braketraction control and vehicle maneuverability can be improved consider ably .This study developeda new active su...

modelling and forecasting stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. this nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. using an artificial neural network (ann) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

water quality assessment provides a scientific basis for water resources development and management. this case study proposes a factor analysis- hopfield neural network model (fhnn) based on factor analysis method and hopfield neural network method. the results showed that the factor analysis (fa) technique was introduced to identify important water quality parameters. results revealed that bio...

the quantitative structure-retention relationship (qsrr) of nanoparticles in roadside atmosphere against the comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography which was coupled to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry was studied. the genetic algorithm (ga) was employed to select the variables that resulted in the best-fitted models. after the variables were selected, the linear multi...

fibrolipomatous hamartoma of nerve (neural fibrolipoma) is a tumor-like lipomatous process principally involving young persons. the median nerve is most commonly affected. the lesion is characterized by a soft slowly growing mass surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches. it may cause symptoms of compression neuropathy and is associated with macrodactyly in one third of cases...
