the purpose of this research is to detect manipulation of stock prices in tehran stock exchange that it has been done through hybrid genetic algorithm-artificial neural network (ann-ga) model and the simplified quadratic discriminant function (sqdf) model. in this study, the variables of price, trading volume and free float stock to match the results of the model and the actual data of price ma...

background: the artificial neural networks (anns) are useful in solving nonlinear processes, without the need for mathematical models of the parameters. since the relationship between the ct numbers and material compositions is not linear, ann can be used for obtaining tissue density and composition. objective: the aim of this study is to utilize ann for determination of the composition and mas...

in this study, we focused on the gait of parkinson’s disease (pd) and presented a gray box model for it. we tried to present a model for basal ganglia structure in order to generate stride time interval signal in model output for healthy and pd states. because of feedback role of dopamine neurotransmitter in basal ganglia, this part is modelled by “elman network”, which is a neural network stru...

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 forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm de...

The investigation of the neuronal environment allows us to better understand the activity of a cerebral region as a whole. The recent experimental evidences of the presence of transporters for glutamate and GABA in both neuronal and astrocyte compartments raise the question of the functional importance of the astrocytes in the regulation of the neuronal activity. We propose a new computational ...

Vibration based techniques of structural damage detection using model updating method, are computationally expensive for large-scale structures. In this study, after locating precisely the eventual damage of a structure using modal strain energy based index (MSEBI), To efficiently reduce the computational cost of model updating during the optimization process of damage severity detection, the M...

an integrated model for magnetoencephalography (meg) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) is proposed. in the proposed model, meg and fmri outputs are related to the corresponding aspects of neural activities in a voxel. post synaptic potentials (psps) and action potentials (aps) are two main signals generated by neural activities. in the model, both of meg and fmri are related to t...

In this work, we introduce the kinetic framework for modelling synaptic transmission in an existing neural mass model of the thalamocortical circuitry to study Electroencephalogram (EEG) slowing within the alpha frequency band (8–13 Hz), a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Ligand-gated excitatory and inhibitory synapses mediated by AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid)...
