abstract- noise is considered as one of the most debilitating conditions in farming operations. in this study, a number of factors affecting the noise generated by sampo 3065 combine harvesters were evaluated. factors were engine speed and gear ratio for combines with and without original cabins. a factorial experiment arranged as a completely randomized design with four replicates was used. re...

accurate groundwater level modeling and forecasting contribute to civil projects, land use, citys planning and water resources management. combined wavelet-artificial neural network (wann) model has been widely used in recent years to forecast hydrological and hydrogeological phenomena. this study investigates the sensitivity of the pre-processing to the wavelet type and decomposition level in ...
