Utilization of membrane humidifiers is one of the methods commonly used to humidify reactant gases in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). In this study, polymeric porous membranes with different compositions were prepared to be used in a membrane humidifier module and were employed in a humidification test. Three different neural network models were developed to investigate several...

The mitral cell primary dendrite plays an important role in transmitting distal olfactory nerve input from olfactory glomerulus to the soma-axon initial segment. To understand how dendritic active properties are involved in this transmission, we have combined dual soma and dendritic patch recordings with computational modeling to analyze action-potential initiation and propagation in the primar...

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...

Short term load forecasting (STLF) plays an important role in the economic and reliable operation ofpower systems. Electric load demand has a complex profile with many multivariable and nonlineardependencies. In this study, recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture is presented for STLF. Theproposed model is capable of forecasting next 24-hour load profile. The main feature in this networkis ...

In this paper, a thermal infra red face recognition system for human identification and verification using blood perfusion data and back propagation feed forward neural network is proposed. The system consists of three steps. At the very first step face region is cropped from the colour 24-bit input images. Secondly face features are extracted from the croped region, which will be taken as the ...

This paper, presents a theoretical and practical basis of preprocessing on handwritten text for character recognition using forward-feed neural networks. Afterwards, the Feed forward algorithm gives working of a neural network followed by the Back Propagation Algorithm which compromises Training, Calculating Error, and Modifying Weights. The proposed solutions focus on applying Back Propagation...

In this Present study, the technique of wavelet transform and neural network were developed for speech based text-dependent and text0independent speaker identification. 390 feature were fed to feed-forward back propagation neural network for classification The function of feature extraction and classification are performed using wavelet and neural network system. The declared result shows that ...

Face recognition technology has seen dramatic improvements in performance over the past decade, and such systems are now widely used for security and commercial applications. In this paper an improved approach has been used in which feed forward back propagation neural network is implemented through matlab. The results obtained shows that the proposed approach somewhat improves the performance ...

A comparative study of artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple regression is made to predict the fat tail weight of Balouchi sheep from birth, weaning and finishing weights. A multilayer feed forward network with back propagation of error learning mechanism was used to predict the sheep body weight. The data (69 records) were randomly divided into two subsets. The first subset is the train...
