this paper presents the application of three main artificial neural networks (anns) in damage detection of steel bridges. this method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. the changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. to circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...

Precipitation forecasting due to its random nature in space and time always faced with many problems and this uncertainty reduces the validity of the forecasting model. Nowadays nonlinear networks as intelligent systems to predict such complex phenomena are widely used. One of the methods that have been considered in recent years in the fields of hydrology is use of wavelet transform as a moder...

strip tearing during cold rolling process has always been considered among the main concerns for steel companies. several works have been done so far regarding the examination of the issue. in this paper, experimental data from cold rolling tandem mill is used for detecting strip tearing. sensors are placed across the cold rolling tandem mill. they receive information on parameters (such as ang...

life style and life expectancy of inhabitants have been affected by the increase of particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in diameter (pm10) in cities and this is why maximum pm10 concentrations have received extensive attention. an early notice system for pm10 concentrations necessitates an accurate forecasting of the pollutant. in the current study an artificial neural network was used t...

mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. in this paper, a new approachis proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. the proposedapproach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the trackusing a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. for training, a human operator navigates themobile robot in some...

The hybrid fuzzy differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. We consider the problem of nding their numerical solutions by using a novel hybrid method based on fuzzy neural network. Here neural network is considered as a part of large eld called neural computing or soft computing. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by numerical examples and the result...

In this paper, we introduce a hybrid approach based on neural network and optimization teqnique to solve ordinary differential equation. In proposed model we use heyperbolic secont transformation function in hiden layer of neural network part and bfgs teqnique in optimization part. In comparison with existing similar neural networks proposed model provides solutions with high accuracy. Numerica...

abstract   background : leukemia is one of the mostcommon cancers in children, comprising more than a third of all childhood cancers. newly affected patients in usa are estimated as 10100cases, and if these cases are diagnosed late or proper treatment is not applied, then it can be mortal. because rapid and proper diagnosis of leukemia based on clinical or medicinal findings (without biopsy) is...
