Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation  method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...

The aim of this research is to understand and assess the application of organizational learning capabilities in the status quo and review desirable situations in the context of the agricultural faculty environment. Data were collected from 329 faculty members in 19 public agricultural faculties using a survey questionnaire. Results indicate that organizational learning capabilities are below av...

Improper designs of the demand response programs can lead to numerous problems such as customer dissatisfaction and lower participation in these programs. In this paper, a home energy management system is designed which schedules appliances of smart homes based on the user’s specific behavior to address these issues. Two types of demand response programs are proposed for each house which are sh...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. it is characterized by formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, degeneration of the cholinergic neurons and neural cell death. this study was aimed to investigate the effect of a triazine derivative, c16h12cl2n3s, on learning in an alzheimer's rat model. animals were divided into seven group...

Reward learning enables robots to learn adaptable behaviors from human input. Traditional methods model the reward as a linear function of hand-crafted features, but that requires specifying all relevant features priori, which is impossible for real-world tasks. To get around this issue, recent deep Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) rewards directly raw state challenging because robot has im...

learning rapidly and competently has become a pre-eminent strategy for improving organizational performance in the new knowledge era. improving dynamic learning capability is an exclusive strategy for corporate success in construction industry. thus engineering design firms should implement ol to accomplish a state of readiness for change and develop a competence to respond and identify future ...
