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 (...

Nowadays, estimating the ampere consumption and achieve to the optimum condition from the perspective of energy consumption is one of the most important steps to reduce the production costs. In this research it is tried to develop an accurate model for estimating the ampere consumption by using the artificial neural networks (ANN).In the first step, experimental studies were carried out on 7 ca...

The current study proposes a two-step approach for pore facies characterization in the carbonate reservoirs with an example from the Kangan and Dalanformations in the South Pars gas field. In the first step, pore facies were determined based on Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure (MICP) data incorporation with the Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA) method. In the next step, polynomial meta...

forecasting of macroeconomic variables has specific importance in economic topics. indeed, different models are invented to forecast variables to help economic policy makers in adopting appropriate monetary and fiscal policies. in this paper, the performance of integrated model of input-output (io) and neural network is investigated in forecasting final demand and total production and the resul...

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...

One of the most complex stages of optical music recognition workflows is the detection and isolation of musical symbols. Traditionally, this goal is achieved by performing preprocesses of binarization and staff-line removal. However, these are commonly performed using heuristics that do not generalize widely when applied to different types of documents such as medieval scores. In this paper we ...

This article presents numerical studies on semi-active seismic response control of structures equipped with Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers. A multi-layer artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to mitigate the influence of time delay, This ANN was trained using data from the El-Centro earthquake. The inputs of ANN are the seismic responses of the structure in the current step, and the ou...
