Wetland, as one of the weakest ecosystems in the world, is deteriorating rapidly in many regions. Longfeng wetland is the biggest urban wetland in China, located in the inner of Daqing city, Heilongjiang Province. It is divided into two areas by Wolong road, the east is provincial natural reserve and the west is unprotected. This paper describes a remote sensing change detection approach used t...

computational intelligence approaches have gradually established themselves as a popular tool for forecasting the complicated financial markets. forecasting accuracy is one of the most important features of forecasting models; hence, never has research directed at improving upon the effectiveness of time series models stopped. nowadays, despite the numerous time series forecasting models propos...

conventionally, regression and time series analyses have been employed in modeling water demand forecasts. in recent years, the relatively new technique of neural networks (nns) has been proposed as an efficient tool for modeling and forecasting. the objective of this study is to investigate the relatively new technique of gmdh – type neural networks for the use of forecasting long – term urban...

in this paper, i develop three forecasting models: namely structural, times series, and artificial neural networks; to forecast iranian inflation rates. the structural model uses aggregate demand and aggregate supply approach, the time series model is based on the standard arlma technique, and the artificial neural network applies multi-layer back propagation model the latter, which is rooted i...

: The CIECAM97s and its revision, as a colour appearance model, were applied for a series of fabrics with different colours and depths to explain their colour appearance coordinates in similar viewing conditions. The results show that due to some modifications which expand the scale, the modified model has improved capadilities in calculating chroma. Besides, the calculations were simpler for t...

sulfur dioxide has two important sources in the atmosphere and this is why most of scientists believe in a geographic split in the globe. power plants, major emitter of so2, are located in north hemisphere such as in russia, china, canada and the usa. in south hemisphere, phytoplankton produces a massive amount of dimethyl sulfide (dms) and dimethyl disulfide (dmds). then these types of reduced...
