air pollution is a challenging issue in some of the large cities in developing countries. air quality monitoring and interpretation of data are two important factors for air quality management in urban areas. several methods exist to analyze air quality. among them, we applied the dynamic neural network (tdnn) and radial basis function (rbf) methods to predict the concentrations of ground-level...

the main objective of this paper is to introduce a new intelligent optimization technique that uses a predictioncorrectionstrategy supported by a recurrent neural network for finding a near optimal solution of a givenobjective function. recently there have been attempts for using artificial neural networks (anns) in optimizationproblems and some types of anns such as hopfield network and boltzm...

important parameters on apple drying process are investigated experimentally and modeled employing artificial neural network and neuro-taguchi's method. experimental results show that the apple drying curve stands in the falling rate period of drying. temperature is the most important parameter that has a more pronounced effect on drying rate than the other two parameters i.e. air velocity and ...

evaluate the performance of companies on the stock exchange using non-parametric methods is very important. dea and dea-r with the strategies for piecewise linear frontier production function and use of available data, assess the stock company. in this study, using a neural network algorithm dea and dea-r is suggested to classify the first companies in the stock exchange; secondly, using the co...

this paper addresses a nonlinear observer based control scheme to synchronize chaotic systems subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. it is assumed that the dynamic of slave system is not completely known. in order to compensate for the system perturbation resulting from parameter variations and mismodeling phenomena, an adaptive neural network observer is employed to handle this pr...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa stereolithography process limits wider applications due to low dimensional accuracy comparing with cnc. to improve accuracy and reduce part distortion, understanding the physics involved in the relationship between the setup input parameters and the part dimensional accuracy is prerequisite. in this paper, a model is proposed to find and optimize im...

although, coumarins are a group of compounds which are naturally found in some plants, they can be synthetically produced as well. because of their diverse derivatives, origin and properties most of them can be used for medicinal purposes. for example, they can be used against fungal diseases or in studying structure and biological properties of antifungal agents to discover new compounds with ...
