forecasting of temperature is a very important in meteorology. air temperature prediction is of a concern in environment, industry and agriculture. temperature with precipitation are important factors in meteorology and are used in classification of climate. in this paper we want to predict average monthly temperature for chosen station of isfahan province. an artificial neural network is a pow...

the aim followed in this study was to compare the performance of multiple regression vs neural network models to predict the activity of antioxidant enzymes super oxide dismutase (sod), cat alase (cat), ascorbate pero xidase (apx) and peroxidase (pox) in the shoots of wheat (triticum aestivum), alvand cultivar in a soil polluted with cadmium. the treatments consisted of four levels of cadmium (...

Cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. In recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. This research was conducted to compare Cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. The prese...

Artificial neural networks have emerged as a good candidate to mathematical wear models, due to their capabilities of handling nonlinear behavior, learning from experimental data and generalization. In the present work the potential of using neural networks for the prediction of abrasive wear properties of unfilled and graphite filled carbon fabric reinforced epoxy composite under various testi...

introduction: with using multiple linear regression (mlr), can simultaneously analyses several different variables, but to get the desirable results from the mlr, the samples must be much and accurate. therefore, this method has high sensitivity and may cause errors in results. in addition, to use this method, the variable must have normal distribution and modification follow from a linear rela...

The performance of Neural Networks (NN) depends on network structure, activation function and suitable weight values. For finding optimal weight values, freshly, computer scientists show the interest in the study of social insect’s behavior learning algorithms. Chief among these are, Ant Colony Optimzation (ACO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, Hybrid Ant Bee Colony (HABC) algorithm and ...

This paper uses nonlinear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Programming (GP) approaches for predicting an important tangible issue i.e. scours dimensions downstream of inverted siphon structures. Dimensional analysis and nonlinear regression-based equations was proposed for estimation of maximum scour depth, location of the scour hole, location and height of the dune downs...

The major aim of processing satellite images is to prepare topical and effectivemaps. The selection of appropriate classification methods plays an important role. Amongvarious methods existing for image classification, artificial neural network method is ofhigh accuracy. In present study, TM images of 1987, and ETM+ images of 2000 and 2006were analyzed using artificial fuzzy ARTMAP neural netwo...

since a high toxicity of cyanide which use as a reagent in the gold processing plant, thiosulfate has been recognized as a environmental friendly reagent for leaching of gold from ore. after gold leaching process it's important for recovery of gold from solution using adsorption or extraction methods, one of these methods is activated carbon.the loading of gold from industrial thiosulfate solut...
