In this paper an ANN model is developed to forecast the monthly inflation of Bangladesh as a function of its own previous value. The model selects a feed-forward backpropagation ANN with two inputs, one hidden layer with five hidden neurons and one output as the optimum network. The model is tested with actual time series data of inflation in case of Bangladesh and forecast evaluation criteria....

A design algorithm is derived, for a calculating minimum allowable electrical clearances in alternating and direct current “permissible” equipments, which are authorized to operate in gassy mines and tunnels under Part 18 of Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations [1]. The calculated clearances apply to operations at altitudes ranging up to 12 000 ft (3658 m) above sea level. The minimum allowabl...
