malting is a complex biotechnological process that includes steeping; germination and drying of cereal grains under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. in this research malting process parameters were predict by modular neural network with different activation function included, logsig-logsig, tanh-tanh, logsigtanh, logsig-identity and tanh-identity. steeping time (x1) and germin...

one of the major problems that may occur in the differential protection systems of power transformers is mal-operation of the protection relays in sake of internal fault detection, because of similarity between this current and inrush current. this paper presents a novel approach for discriminating inrush current from internal fault in power transformers based on improved gravitational search a...

mitochondrial functions have a major impact on t-cell functionality. in this study we characterized whether mitochondrial function in the neonatal t-cells differs from that in the adult t-cells during short t-cell activation. methods: we used fow cytometry methods to test mitochondrial mass and to monitor mitochondrial ca2+ levels, mitochondrial potential and superoxide generation in parallel w...

Circuit-level implementation of a novel neuron has been discussed in this article. A low-power Activation Function (AF) circuit is introduced in this paper, which is then combined with a highly linear synapse circuit to form the neuron architecture. Designed in Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technology, the proposed structure consumes low power, which makes it suitable for the...

the immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. well characterized are age related defect in t cell functions and cell mediated immunity. although it is well established that the functional properties of t cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is p...

the synthesis of some 13-lactams is described. 'the electronic activation of monocyclic b-lactams provided by a quinonemethine function was found to instabilize the 13-lactam ring toward nucleophilic: attack by water

in this study, the recycling possibility of residual oil fly ash (rofa) towards preparing activated carbon and its application in environmental remediation through adsorbing cu (ii) and pb (ii) ions from aqueous solutions were investigated. activated carbons were prepared using two different physical activation methods such as under steam flow at 950 0c, and combined steam and co2 flow at 850 0...
