carbon sequestration into plants biomass, especially in fast growing trees is an easier and economically way for dropping off co2 from atmosphere. this study was carried out in order to investigate above-ground biomass of white poplar (populous alba, l.) plantations that was planted in fourdifferent plant spacing (0.5 × 0.5, 1×1, 2×2 and 4×4 m.) in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province in west of ...

solar radiation data play an important role in solar energy relevant researches. these data are not available for some locations due to the absence of the meteorological stations. therefore, solar radiation data have to be predicted by using solar radiation estimation models. this study presents an integrated artificial neural network (ann) approach for estimating solar radiation potential over...

abstract: this paper represents a novel use of artificial neural networks in medical science. the proposed technique involves training a multi layer perceptron (mlp) (a kind of artificial neural network) with a bp learning algorithm to recognize a pattern for the diagnosing and prediction of five blood disorders, through the results of blood tests from h1 machine. the blood test parameters and ...

the acute ecotoxicity of a set of mixture samples (washing powders, wastes, fuel extracts etc.) was assessed using four acute ecotoxicity assays with aquatic organisms (daphnia magna, poecilia reticulata, artemia salina and desmodesmus subspicatus). the experimental concentration-response curves were fitted by seven two-parameter sigmoid equations using non-linear regression. the regression pe...

analytical solutions and type curves for the constant rate radial flow of fluid in both conventional and naturally fractured reservoirs including the effect of wellbore phase redistribution are presented. an automated procedure for non-linear least square minimization using the analytical solutions and their derivatives with respect to the unknown parameters developed to analyze the pressure bu...
