Predicting long-term response to selection.

Predicting the Long Term Life of Polymer Composites Using Time Temperature Shift Factor (TTSF)

The use of Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) has increased in number of industries i.e. aerospace, automobiles, marine, medical and sports due to their light weight and high strength-stiffness. However, their properties are greatly affected under extreme e environmental conditions i.e. high temperatures and moisture uptake. The paper reports an experimental study to determine the response...

تعیین پاسخ سکوهای نیمه مغروق در برابر امواج خطی به روش تقریبی

Development of a simple fast-solving method based on the popular Morrison approach for prediction of semi-submersibles' motion response is the main purpose of the current research. The oblique seas' hydrodynamic specifications are modeled using small amplitude wave theory. The velocity forces and moments have been shown to be small and are therefore neglected. The damping coefficients are obtai...

Short term electric load prediction based on deep neural network and wavelet transform and input selection

Electricity demand forecasting is one of the most important factors in the planning, design, and operation of competitive electrical systems. However, most of the load forecasting methods are not accurate. Therefore, in order to increase the accuracy of the short-term electrical load forecast, this paper proposes a hybrid method for predicting electric load based on a deep neural network with a...

Forecasting of rainfall using different input selection methods on climate signals for neural network inputs

Long-term prediction of precipitation in planning and managing water resources, especially in arid and semi-arid countries such as Iran, has a great importance. In this paper, a method for predicting long-term precipitation using weather signals and artificial neural networks is presented. For this purpose, climatic data (large-scale signals) and meteorological data (local precipitation and tem...

Key Issues in Designing Long-term Care Systems: A Response to Recent Commentaries

Comparision of Direct and Indirect Response to Selection for Breast Weight in Japanese Quail

This study was carried out to investigate the direct and indirect responses to selection for four-week body weight (4 week body (wk BW)) and four-week breast weight (4 week breast weight (wk BRW)) and to determine the genetic contribution of reminder founders to the last generation. A total number of 351 birds were equally allocated to three lines, including two selected lines (S1 and S2 for BW...
