background : the study examined the implementation of artificial neural network (ann) for the prediction of ammonia nitrogen removal from landfill leachate by ultrasonic process. methods : a three-layer backpropagation neural network was optimized to predict ammonia nitrogen removal from landfill leachate by ultrasonic process. considering the smallest mean square error (mse), the configuration...

In recent years, biodiesel has been considered as a good alternative of diesel fuels. Density and viscosity are two important properties of these fuels. In this study, density and kinematic viscosity of biodiesel-diesel blends were estimated by using artificial neural network (ANN). A three-layer feed forward neural network with Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm was used for learning empirical ...

purpose of this paper is to assess the value of neural networks for classification of cancer and noncancer prostate cells. Gauss Markov Random Fields, Fourier entropy and wavelet average deviation features are calculated from 80 noncancer and 80 cancer prostate cell nuclei. For classification, artificial neural network techniques which are multilayer perceptron, radial basis function and learni...

estimating of forest equipment productivity is an important aspect of managing cost in forestry, which leads to reduction of operations expenses. in other words, high capital cost in forest harvesting, is a good reason to argue forest engineering research and time modeling. this paper applied one of the artificial intelligence subsets, which are called artificial neural networks (anns), to pred...

production of highly viscous tar sand bitumen using steam assisted gravity drainage (sagd) with a pair of horizontal wells has advantages over conventional steam flooding. this paper explores the use of artificial neural networks (anns) as an alternative to the traditional sagd simulation approach. feed forward, multi-layered neural network meta-models are trained through the back-error-propaga...

Free swelling index (FSI) is an important parameter for cokeability and combustion of coals. In this research, the effects of chemical properties of coals on the coal free swelling index were studied by artificial neural network methods. The artificial neural networks (ANNs) method was used for 200 datasets to estimate the free swelling index value. In this investigation, ten input parameters ...
