the main objective of this paper is to introduce a new intelligent optimization technique that uses a predictioncorrectionstrategy supported by a recurrent neural network for finding a near optimal solution of a givenobjective function. recently there have been attempts for using artificial neural networks (anns) in optimizationproblems and some types of anns such as hopfield network and boltzm...

accurate estimation of evaporation is important for design, planning and operation of water systems. in arid zones where water resources are scarce, the estimation of this loss becomes more interesting in the planning and management of irrigation practices. this paper investigates the ability of artificial neural networks (anns) technique to improve the accuracy of daily evaporation estimation....

this study was conducted to investigate the prediction of growth performance using linear regression and artificial neural network (ann) in broiler chicken. artificial neural networks (anns) are powerful tools for modeling systems in a wide range of applications. the ann model with a back propagation algorithm successfully learned the relationship between the inputs of metabolizable energy (kca...

Neural networks, more accurately called Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), are computational models that consist of a number of simple processing units that communicate by sending signals to one another over a large number of weighted connections. They were originally developed from the inspiration of human brains. In human brains, a biological neuron collects signals from other neurons through...

Scour in the downstream of hydraulic structures is a phenomenon which usually occurs due to exceeding the velocity or shear stress from a critical level. In this paper by using the laboratory data by Borman- Jouline and De-Agostino research, it was tried to get more accurate equations in order to calculate the maximum depth of scour in the downstream of the water level regulation structures. Co...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computational models, loosely inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected groups of artificial neurons which process information using a connectionist approach. ANNs are widely applied to problems like pattern recognition, classification, and time series analysis. The success of an ANN application usually requires a high number of e...

In recent decades artificial neural networks (ANNs) have shown great ability in modeling and forecasting non-linear and non-stationary time series and in most of the cases especially in prediction of phenomena have showed very good performance. This paper presents the application of artificial neural networks to predict drought in Yazd meteorological station. In this research, different archite...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are general function approximators and noise resistant, and therefore popular in many applications. Researchers in the field of computational intelligence have shown that biologically sound spiking neural networks (SNNs) are comparable, or even more powerful than traditional artificial neural networks(ANNs) [1]. However, such neural networks are usually computa...
