in this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the shabestar plain, iran. after initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (ga-bp) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

Bedload transport is an essential component of river dynamics and estimation of its rate is important to many aspects of river management. In this study, measured bedload by Helley- Smith sampler was used to estimate the bedload transport of Kurau River in Malaysia. An artificial neural network, genetic programming and a combination of genetic programming and a neural network were used to estim...

production of highly viscous tar sand bitumen using steam assisted gravity drainage (sagd) with a pair of horizontal wells has advantages over conventional steam flooding. this paper explores the use of artificial neural networks (anns) as an alternative to the traditional sagd simulation approach. feed forward, multi-layered neural network meta-models are trained through the back-error-propaga...

This paper addresses control design in networked control system by considering stochastic packet dropouts in the forward path of the control loop. The packet dropouts are modelled by mutually independent stochastic variables satisfying Bernoulli binary distribution. A sliding mode controller is utilized to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic packet dropouts in networked control system...

this paper intends to offer a new iterative method based on arti cial neural networks for finding solution of a fuzzy equations system. our proposed fuzzi ed neural network is a ve-layer feedback neural network that corresponding connection weights to output layer are fuzzy numbers. this architecture of arti cial neural networks, can get a real input vector and calculates its corresponding fu...

introduction: manipulation of protein stability is important for understanding the principles that govern protein thermostability, both in basic research and industrial applications. various data mining techniques exist for prediction of thermostable proteins. furthermore, ann methods have attracted significant attention for prediction of thermostability, because they constitute an appropriate ...

multilayer bach propagation neural networks have been considered by researchers. despite their outstanding success in managing contact between input and output, they have had several drawbacks. for example the time needed for the training of these neural networks is long, and some times not to be teachable. the reason for this long time of teaching is due to the selection unsuitable network par...
