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-...

in this paper we present a method related to extracting white blood cells (wbcs) from blood microscopic figures and recognizing them and counting each kind of wbcs. in this method, first we extract the white blood cells from other blood cells by rgb color system's help. in continuance, by using the features of each kind of globules and their color scheme, we extract a normalized feature vector,...

Cell assembly is one of explanations of information processing in the brain, in which an information is represented by a firing space pattern of a group of plural neurons. On the other hand, effectiveness of neural network has been confirmed in pattern recognition, system control, signal processing, and so on, since the back propagation learning was proposed. In this study, we propose a new net...

suspended particles have deleterious effects on human health and one of the reasons why tehran is effected is its geographically location of air pollution. one of the most important ways to reduce air pollution is to predict the concentration of pollutants. this paper proposed a hybrid method to predict the air pollution in tehran based on particulate matter less than 10 microns (pm10), and the...

In this paper, a face recognition system for personal identification and verification using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Modified Back Propagation Neural Networks (MBPNN) is proposed. The dimensionality of face image is reduced by the PCA and the recognition is done by the MBPNN. The system consists of a database of a set of facial patterns for each individual. The characteristic fea...

In its first part, this contribution reviews shortly the application of neural network methods to medical problems and characterizes its advantages and problems in the context of the medical background. Various research shows that diagnostic capabilities of human are worse than the neural network strategy to diagnose any pattern. Then paradigm of neural networks is introduced and the main probl...

in this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control has been designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. in order to eliminate the effect of these uncertain...
