ABSTRACT-Different evapotranspiration (ET) estimation equations having different accuracy with different conditions have been developed for ET estimation. This study will firstly focus on the estimation of 13 climatic equations of daily garlic ET estimation whose  ET is measured by lysimeter to provide information which can be helpful in selecting an appropriate ET equation. The paper aims at s...

Conventional control algorithms used in pH control systems give inefficient performance, leading to use of large mixers. To improve the neutralization control process, an ANFIS based advanced controller has been proposed. In this paper, method of design of adaptive controller based on neurofuzzy technique is presented. The method uses ANFIS methodology to automatically generate fuzzy rule base ...

Lightweight concrete (LWC) is a kind of concrete that made of lightweight aggregates or gas bubbles. These aggregates could be natural or artificial, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete is the most interesting lightweight concrete and has good mechanical properties. Bulk density of this kind of concrete is between 300-2000 kg/m3. In this paper flexural strength of EPS is modeled...

Supplier selection is a key task for firms, enabling them to achieve the objectives of a supply chain. Selecting a supplier is based on multiple conflicting factors, such as quality and cost, which are represented by a multi-criteria description of the problem. In this article, a new approach based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is presented to overcome the supplier selection ...

modeling of stream flow–suspended sediment relationship is one of the most studied topics in hydrology due to itsessential application to water resources management. recently, artificial intelligence has gained much popularity owing toits application in calibrating the nonlinear relationships inherent in the stream flow–suspended sediment relationship. thisstudy made us of adaptive neuro-fuzzy ...

Please cite this article in press as: Talei, A., et a Expert Systems with Applications (2010), doi:10.1 Intelligent computing tools based on fuzzy logic and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been successfully applied in various problems with superior performances. A new approach of combining these two powerful AI tools, known as neuro-fuzzy systems, has increasingly attracted scientists in ...

The objective of this study is to present an offline control of highly non-linear inverted pendulum system moving on a plane inclined at an angle of 10° from horizontal. The stabilisation was achieved using three different soft-computing control techniques i.e. Proportional-integral-derivative (PID), Fuzzy logic and Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). A Matlab-Simulink model of the p...
