in this article, the effect of operating conditions, such as temperature, gas hourly space velocity (ghsv), ch4/o2 ratio and diluents gas (mol% n2) on ethylene production by oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) in a fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure was studied over mn/na2wo4/sio2 catalyst. based on the properties of neural networks, an artificial neural network was used for model develo...

In this paper, Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning algorithm for a single Integrate-and-Fire Neuron (IFN) is proposed and tested for various applications in which a neural network based on multilayer perceptron is conventionally used. It is found that a single IFN is sufficient for the applications that require a number of neurons in different hidden layers of a conventional neural network. Sever...

In this paper back-propagation artificial neural network (BPANN )with Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is employed to predict the deformation of the upsetting process. To prepare a training set for BPANN, some finite element simulations were carried out. The input data for the artificial neural network are a set of parameters generated randomly (aspect ratio d/h, material properties, temperature a...

An approach to develop response surface approximations based upon artificial neural networks trained using both state and sensitivity information is described in this paper. Compared to previous approaches, this approach does not require weighting the residuals of the targets and gradients and is able to approximate gradient-consistent response surfaces with a relatively compact network archite...

Efficient second order algorithm for training feedforward neural networks is presented. The algorithm has a similar convergence rate as the Lavenberg-Marquardt (LM) method and it is less computationally intensive and requires less memory. This is especially important for large neural networks where the LM algorithm becomes impractical. Algorithm was verified with several examples.

Dams have been always considered as the important infrastructures and their critical values are counted. Hence, evaluation and avoidance of dams’ destruction have a specific importance. Seepage occurrence in dams is an inevitable phenomenon. Despite all the progress in geotechnical engineering, up to now, seepage problem is the main conflict which occurs in dams. This study tried to estimate se...

This paper proposes system identification on application of nonlinear AR (NAR) based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for monitor of dengue infections. In building the model, three selection criteria, i.e. the final prediction error (FPE), Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC), and Lipschitz number were used. Each of the models is divided into two approaches, which are unregularized approach an...
