We present an artificial neural-network(NN-) based smart interface framework for sensors operating in harsh environments. The NN-based sensor can automatically compensate for the nonlinear response characteristics and its nonlinear dependency on the environmental parameters, with high accuracy. To show the potential of the proposed NN-based framework, we provide results of a smart capacitive pr...

This communication addresses the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation on magneto hydrodynamic Maxwell fluid flow past a linearly stretching surface with heat and mass transfer. The effects of heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction are taken into account. At first, we converted the governing partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the help...

In this work, we experimentally investigate thermal-based nonlinear photoacoustic generation as a mean to discriminate between different types of absorbing particles. The photoacoustic generation from solutions of dye molecules and gold nanospheres (same optical densities) was detected using a high frequency ultrasound transducer (20 MHz). Photoacoustic emission was observed with gold nanospher...

background and objectives: germination and seedling establishment are two critical and important stages during plants growing season. from seed technology viewpoint, germination refers to emergence and development from seed embryo, so that could produce normal seedling. many studies  have been done to determine germination cardinal temperatures and required thermal time for emergence occurrence...

We report on linear and nonlinear dielectric property measurements of BaTiO3–CoFe2O4 (BTO–CFO) ferroelectromagnetic nanocomposites and pure BaTiO3 and CoFe2O4 samples with scanning near-field microwave microscopy. The permitivity scanning image with spatial resolution on the micrometer scale shows that the nanocomposites have a very uniform quality with an effective dielectric constant r 140 ± ...

in the age of technology, it is vital to cool down different parts of a device to use it more beneficially. using nanofluids is one of the most common methods which has shown very effective results. in this paper, we have rephrased a classic equation in fluid mechanics, i.e. the falkner-skan boundary layer equation, in order to be used for nanofluid. this nonlinear equation, which was presented...

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...

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics of a low-molecular-weight fluid (squalane) are compared with experimental measurements in both the linear (Newtonian) and nonlinear (non-Newtonian) regimes. The experimental and simulation data are shown to follow the same time-temperature superposition master curve. This represents the first comparison of the nonlinear rheology predicted by nonequilibrium mole...

in this paper, we examine the effects of thermal radiation on co2 emission and o2 depletion in an exothermic reactive slab of combustible materials with uniform surface temperature. the governing equations for the nonlinear heat and mass transfer problem are derived and solved numerically using runge-kutta-fehlberg method with shooting technique. numerical expressions for temperature field, co2...

almolookhiyeh (corchorus olitorius l.) known in the world as a valuable medicinal plant that was produced for the first time in iran in 2011. this study was aimed to quantify germination response of almolookhiyeh to temperature. for this purpose, seeds were exposed to different constant temperatures (10 ,15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50°c) in seed research lab, gorgan university of agricultura...
