Accurate estimation of hydrocarbon volume in a reservoir is important due to future development and investment on that reservoir. Estimation of Oil and Gas reservoirs continues from exploration to end of reservoir time life and is usual upstream engineer’s involvements. In this study we tried to make reservoir properties models (porosity and water saturation) and estimate reservoir volume hydro...

This paper presents a study on classification of blasts in acute leukemia blood samples using artificial neural network. In acute leukemia there are two major forms that are acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Six morphological features have been extracted from acute leukemia blood images and used as neural network inputs for the classification. Hybrid Multila...

The artificial neural networks (ANN) are the learning algorithms and mathematical models, which mimic the information processing ability of human brain and can be used to non linear and complex data. The aim of this study was to compare artificial neural network and regression models for prediction of body weight in Raini Cashmere goat. The data of 1389 goats for body weight, height at withers ...

In this paper, a new powerful method in artificial neural networks, called modular network SOM (mnSOM) is introduced. mnSOM is a generalization of Self Organizing Maps (SOM) formed by replacing each vector unit of SOM with function module. The modular function could be a multi layer perceptron, a recurrent neural network or even SOM itself. Having this flexibility, mnSOM becomes a new powerful ...

prediction of the heavy metals in the groundwater is important in developing any appropriate remediation strategy. this paper attempts to predict heavy metals (pb, zn and cu) in the groundwater from arak city, using artificial neural network (ann) algorithm by taking major elements (hco3, so4) in the groundwater from arak city. for this purpose, contamination sources in the groundwater were rec...

In this study, artificial neural network was used to predict the microhardness of Al2024-multiwall carbon nanotube(MWCNT) composite prepared by mechanical alloying. Accordingly, the operational condition, i.e., the amount of reinforcement, ball to powder weight ratio, compaction pressure, milling time, time and temperature of sintering as well as vial speed were selected as independent input an...

The internet and its various services have made users to easily communicate with each other. Internet benefits including online business and e-commerce. E-commerce has boosted online sales and online auction types. Despite their many uses and benefits, the internet and their services have various challenges, such as information theft, which challenges the use of these services. Information thef...

it is necessary to use empirical models for estimating of instantaneous peak discharge because of deficit of gauging stations in the country. hence, at present study, two models including artificial neural networks and nonlinear multivariate regression were used to predict peak discharge in taleghan watershed. maximum daily mean discharge and corresponding daily rainfall, one day antecedent and...
