composite steel concrete composite floor used mainly in the commercial and office building has lighter weight and is considered very economical. the light weight natures of this type of floor causes some vibration problems when it is subjected to loadings such as human footstep loading. the dynamic characteristics of these floors are dependent on several parameters such as joist span, girder sp...

This study was conducted to rate the land characteristics of corn in hot areas based on artificial neural networks and regression models. For this purpose, 63 corn fields were selected in southern Iran. In each farm, a pedon was excavated, described and sampled. A questionnaire was completed for each farm. A stepwise regression model was used to study the relationship between land characteristi...

TThe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. This paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. As a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple Gaussian Radial-Basis-Function Network as an uncertainty estimator. The proposed netw...

the lack of a structured anticipating about high usage product of the national petrochemical company, has forced this company to buy forecasted price from foreign countries. prevent the outflow of foreign exchange and tolerance of political factors such as sanctions in this field requires a forecast of prices in our country. due to the chain-like nature of the petrochemical products, and the ab...

The current method for composition measurement of an industrial distillation column includes an offline method, which is slow, tedious and could lead to inaccurate results. Among advantages of using online composition designed are to overcome the long time delay introduced by laboratory sampling and provide better estimation, which is suitable for online monitoring purposes. This paper pres...

objective: in this study, artificial neural network (ann) analysis of virotherapy in preclinical breast cancer was investigated. materials and methods: in this research article, a multilayer feed-forward neural network trained with an error back-propagation algorithm was incorporated in order to develop a predictive model. the input parameters of the model were virus dose, week and tamoxifen ci...

Abstract Forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. This paper studies load consumption modeling in Hamedan city province distribution network by applying ESN neural network. Weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...

abstract background: a computer aided diagnosis system was established using the wavelet transform and neural network to differentiate malignant from benign in a   group of patients with histo-pathologically proved breast lesions based on the data derived independ­ently from time-intensity profile.   materials and methods: the per­formance of the artificial neural network (ann) was evaluated us...

This paper studies the application of principal component analysis, multiple polynomial regression, and artificial neural network ANN techniques to the quantitative analysis of binary mixture of dye solution. The binary mixtures of three textile dyes including blue, red and yellow colors were analyzed by PCA-Multiple polynomial Regression and PCA-Artificial Neural network PCA-ANN methods. The o...

abstract   background : leukemia is one of the mostcommon cancers in children, comprising more than a third of all childhood cancers. newly affected patients in usa are estimated as 10100cases, and if these cases are diagnosed late or proper treatment is not applied, then it can be mortal. because rapid and proper diagnosis of leukemia based on clinical or medicinal findings (without biopsy) is...
