This study focuses on using an artificial neural network (ANN) based model for predicting the performance of high strength concrete (HSC) beams strengthened with surface mounted FRP laminates. Eight input parameters such as geometrical properties of the beam and mechanical properties of FRP laminates were considered for this study. Back propagation network with Lavenberg-Marquardt algorithm has...

Introduction: Hypothyroidism is one of the frequent side effects of radiotherapy of head and neck cancers, breast cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is recommended to estimate the normal tissue complication probability of thyroid gland using radiobiological modeling during treatment planning. Moreover, the use of artificial neural network is also proposed as a new method for t...

abstract: in this study the reliability of using response surface-neural network method to predict the osmotic dehydration properties of crookneck squash has been investigated. in order to carry out this project, the osmotic solution concentration, the osmotic solution temperature and immersion time were chosen as inputs and solid gain and water loss were selected as outputs of the designed net...
