in recent years, the existing competitions between investment companies have been increased largely by entering private investors in capital market. large and powerful companies try to achieve the goals predicted to increase the competition capacity. to analyze the efficiency of investment companies, parametric and non-parametric methods are used. in this research, based on the dissociation pow...

The current paper presents a robust optimum design of friction stir welding (FSW) lap joint AA1100 aluminum alloy sheets using Monte Carlo simulation, NSGA-II and neural network. First, to find the relation between the inputs and outputs a perceptron neural network model was obtained. In this way, results of thirty friction stir welding tests are used for training and testing the neural network...

results survival probabilities at different times were determined using the cox proportional hazards and a neural network with three nodes in the hidden layer; the ratios of standard errors with these two methods to the kaplan-meier method were 1.1593 and 1.0071, respectively, revealed a significant difference between cox and kaplan-meier (p < 0.05) and no significant difference between cox and...

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...

this paper describes a study of operational parameters by using the multivariate data analysis and neural networks for a municipal waste incinerator located in majorca (spain). the basis of the study also includes the chemometric techniques: linear multivariate regression to develop a model with certain predictive capabilities; linear principal component analysis, which allow the number of vari...

this study tries to codify a proper mathematical model which can be predict the costs of repair and maintaining the tractors as precisely as possible for three common models of tractors in shahid beheshti cultivation firm in andimeshk-ahvaz road of dezfoul. studied tractors include: newhland tm155 tractor which is chosen from the most perfect file of 10 tractor machines and jandier tractor-3140...

PET was used to explore the neural network involved in the perception of meaningless action. In two conditions, subjects observed learned and unknown meaningless actions without any purpose. In two other conditions, subjects observed the same type of stimuli for later imitation. The control condition, which consisted of the presention of stationary hands, served as a baseline. Unsurprisingly, a...
