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...

The main contribution of the present paper is to train efficient neural networks for seismic design of double layer grids subject to multiple-earthquake loading. As the seismic analysis and design of such large scale structures require high computational efforts, employing neural network techniques substantially decreases the computational burden. Square-on-square double layer grids with the va...

in this study, artificial neural network was used to predict the surface tension of 20 hydrocarbon mixtures. experimental data was divided into two parts (70% for training and 30% for testing). optimal configuration of the network was obtained with minimization of prediction error on testing data. the accuracy of our proposed model was compared with four well-known empirical equations. the arti...

The main focus in this study is on data pre-processing, reduction in number of inputs or input space size reduction the purpose of which is the justified generalization of data set in smaller dimensions without losing the most significant data. In case the input space is large, the most important input variables can be identified from which insignificant variables are eliminated, or a variable ...

natural fire inflicting irreparable damage to rangelands and forest areas is cause changes in landscape ecology. the purpose of this research is comparison of artificial neural network (ann) and line regression (lr) models to predict of forest and rangelands fires to this end, the data consist fire burned area and fire were used weather data over a period of 7 years (2006-2012(.the result indic...

Trending on twitter so fast the process spreading that becomes medium information often become issue conspiracy Covid-19 moderate epidemic disease _ experienced whole world when Issues circulating population they believe...

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the waste materials that highway agencies promote to use in new construction or rehabilitation of highways pavement. Since the use of RAP can affect the resilient modulus and other structural properties of flexible pavement layers, this paper aims to employ two different artificial neural network (ANN) models for modeling and evaluating the effects of ...

Air pollution is a challenging issue in some of the large cities in developing countries. Air quality monitoring and interpretation of data are two important factors for air quality management in urban areas. Several methods exist to analyze air quality. Among them, we applied the dynamic neural network (TDNN) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) methods to predict the concentrations of ground-level...
