to determine the amount of food amino acid and to spend time in the laboratories are expensive & time-consuming due to a chemical analysis. in the current laboratories, digestion nirs method is widely used for this purpose. but this method has technical limitation. therefor is important find appropriate method for estimate amount of amino acids. artificial neural network (ann) can provide a bet...

An artificial neural network has been used to determine the volume flux and rejections of Ca2+ , Na+ and Cl¯, as a function of transmembrane pressure and concentrations of Ca2+, polyethyleneimine, and polyacrylic acid in water softening by nanofiltration process in presence of polyelectrolytes. The feed-forward multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network including an eight-neuron hidde...

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...

artificial neural networks are used in many smart apparatus and different fields such as signal processing pattern diagnoses, military systems, medicine, financial systems, and artificial intelligence. in this article using quality of neural networks in optimizing energy cost in moving limb and its effectiveness in organization a cognitive function founded by presenting an algorithm for use in ...

estimating the final price of products is of great importance. for manufacturing companies proposing a final price is only possible after the design process over. these companies propose an approximate initial price of the required products to the customers for which some of time and money is required. here using the existing data of already designed transformers and utilizing the bayesian anal...

in this paper, the artificial neural network (ann) approach is applied for forecasting groundwater level fluctuation in aghili plain,southwest iran. an optimal design is completed for the two hidden layers with four different algorithms: gradient descent withmomentum (gdm), levenberg marquardt (lm), resilient back propagation (rp), and scaled conjugate gradient (scg). rain,evaporation, relative...

In this study, artificial neural network was used to predict the surface tension of 20 hydrocarbon mixtures. Experimental data was divided into two parts (70% for training and 30% for testing). Optimal configuration of the network was obtained with minimization of prediction error on testing data. The accuracy of our proposed model was compared with four well-known empirical equations. The arti...
