In this article a comparative study for modeling and optimization of 2-methylpropane-2-thiol removal from contaminated soil by ultrasound is investigated. Central Composite Design (CCD) and artificial neural network (ANN) were utilized and compared to each other in order to obtain appropriate predicting model with respect to sonication power (w), sonication time (min) and water/reactor volume r...

Wave forecasting up to 168 h (one-week) ahead is crucial the operational management of shipping and construction in marine work site. The present study proposes a method areal-time One-week Forecast Nearshore Waves (OWFNW) at 13 stations on Japanese coast. For each station, two Group Method Data Handling (GMDH) based wave prediction models for height period are developed transform global data i...

abstract in this research, a radial basis function artificial neural network (rbf-ann) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of api x65 pipeline steel. the results of the developed model was compared with the results of a new phenomenological model that has recently been developed based on a power function of zener-hollomon parameter and a third order polynomial functio...

p2x 7 antagonist activity for a set of 49 molecules of the p2x 7 receptor antagonists, derivatives of purine, was modeled with the aid of chemometric and artificial intelligence techniques. the activity of these compounds was estimated by means of combination of principal component analysis (pca), as a well-known data reduction method, genetic algorithm (ga), as a variable selection technique, ...

Agile software development is now accepted as a superior alternative to conventional methods of software development, because of its inherent benefits like iterative development, rapid delivery and reduced risk. Hence, the industry must be able to efficiently estimate the effort necessary to develop projects using agile methodology. For this, different techniques like expert opinion, analogy, d...

this study shows the usefulness of artificial neural network (ann) in maintenance planning and man-agement. an ann model based on the multi-layer perceptron having three hidden layers and four processing elements per layer was built to predict the expected downtime resulting from a breakdown or a maintenance activity. the model achieved an accuracy of over 70% in predicting the expected downtime.

Applying new approaches in the management of water resources is a vital issue, especially arid and semi-arid regions. The footprint key index management. Therefore, it necessary to predict its changes for future durations. soft computing model one most widely used models predicting estimating agroclimatic variables. purpose this study green blue footprints saffron product using model. In order ...
