In this study, a method based on using image processing and artificial neural network is introduced to determine pelt color and curl size of newborn lambs in Zandi sheep. The data was collected from 300 newborn lambs reared in the Zandi sheep breeding centre of Khojir, Tehran. Primarily, curl size and pelt color of new born lambs was recorded by experienced appraisers, and at the same time, sev...

this paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (ccfst) stub columns under axial loading condition based on artificial neural networks (anns) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. the input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...

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...

The Open Information Systems Laboratory has general interest in intelligent blind and sparse signal processing and nonlinear system theory approaches in computational neuroscience, with the emphasis on artificial neural network models with underlying components (processing units) and self-organizing behavior. Underlying this interest is a belief that biologically plausible artificial neural sys...

natural fire inflicting irreparable damage to rangelands and forest areas is cause changes in landscape ecology. the purpose of this research is comparison of artificial neural network (ann) and line regression (lr) models to predict of forest and rangelands fires to this end, the data consist fire burned area and fire were used weather data over a period of 7 years (2006-2012(.the result indic...
