Ground vibrations caused by blasting are undesirable results in the mining industry and can cause serious damage to the nearby buildings and facilities; therefore, controlling such vibrations has an important role in reducing the environmental damaging effects. Controlling vibration caused by blasting can be achieved once peak particle velocity (PPV) is predicted. In this paper, the values of P...

abstract recent interest in describing the spatial distribution patterns of weeds through using interpolation methods has increased to estimate weed seedling density from spatially refferenced data and evaluation of applicable to site-specific weed management. in this research, a multi layer perceptron neural network (mlpnn) model was developed to predict the spatial distribution of h. glaucum ...

A dynamic neural network architecture based on the Time-Delay Neural Network and the Convolutional Neural Network is originated. The dynamic network achieves much better performance than those of MLP and TDNN when dealing with syllable recognition. Such performance is also comparable to that of the more popular HMM method.

In this study, two kinds of neural networks are employed to develop a supervised ECG beat classifier. In order to improve the performance of the MLP classifier for application to ECG signal, the performance is compared to an LVQ neural network classifier. The two classifiers are tested with selected ECG time series and experimental results show that the MLP classifier offers a great potential i...

The performance of recently developed neural network structure, general regression neural network (GRNN), is examined on the medical data. Pima Indian Dabetes (PID) data set is chosen to study on that had been examined by more complex neural network structures in the past. The results of early studies and of the GRNN structure presented in this paper is compared. Close classification accuracy t...

In this study the impact of a Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) subsystem on the performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is evaluated. The study investigates the use of Multi-Layered Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks to compensate for the optical subsystem nonlinearities in terms of bit error rate, error vector magnitude, and computational com...

The objective of this work is to review the development steps of implementation of MLP neural network in FPGA device, during the recent years. Each development to implement the neural architecture and activation function effectively were studied to take the work one step forward to implement a cost effective, compact and effective on-chip trained neural network. Finally the off-chip trained MLP...

classification of heart arrhythmia is an important step in developing devices for monitoring the health of individuals. this paper proposes a three module system for classification of electrocardiogram (ecg) beats. these modules are: denoising module, feature extraction module and a classification module. in the first module the stationary wavelet transform (swf) is used for noise reduction of ...
