Three experiments were conducted involving 162, 4 to 6 kg pigs group fed. Nine pigs were allotted per treatment aceording to breed, weight and sex and received feed and water ad libitum. Each experiment had a control treatment (125 ppm total solids) compared to saline water treatments (approximately 6,000 ppm total solids) high in either sulfates or chlorides. In addition the sulfate water was ...

a local scouring phenomenon is one of the important problems in hydraulic design of groynes. due to constriction and downward flow, the scouring can occur around the groynes. nowadays, the artificial neural networks have a lot of applications in various water engineering problems where there is not any specific relation between effective parameters. in this study, the artificial neural networks...
