Thermal processing of the key lime juice leads to the inactivation of pectin methylesterase (PME) and the degradation of ascorbic acid (AA). These changes affect directly the cloud stability and color of the juice. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was applied for designing and developing an intelligent system for prediction of the thermal processing effects on the physico...

The network intrusion detection systems play the vital role in protecting the computer networks. So, it has become a significant research issue. In spite of notable progress in intrusion detection system, there are still many opportunities to improve the existing syste...

Artificial neural networks are computer algorithms that simulate, in a very simplified form, the ability of brain neurons to process information. Basically, within each unit of the network, all the input weighted signals are summed and an excitatory or inhibitory signal is then fired to the next layer's units (Fig. 1). The training of the neural net is performed by adjusting the weights between...

The aim of this paper is to use a simple but powerful evolutionary algorithm called Evolution Strategies (ES) to evolve the connection weights and biases of feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANN) and to examine its learning ability through computational experiments in a non-deterministic and dynamic environment, which is the well-known arcade game called Ms. Pac-man. The resulting algori...

Development of controlled environment in greenhouse is of prim importance for out of season production, increasing yield and enhancing the quality of produce. Due to high cost and impossibility of continuous human attendance in greenhouse, it is desirable to control the greenhouse environment by employing automatic control devices. In This study, the greenhouse conditions were controlled by usi...

The capability of a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to predict long-term permeate flux decline in crossflow membrane filtration was investigated. Operating conditions of transmembrane pressure and filtration time along with feed water parameters such as particle radius, solution pH, and ionic strength were used as inputs to predict the permeate flux. Simulation results indicated th...

Artificial neural network based equalizers can be used for equalization in coherent optical OFDM systems. The artificial neural network based multilayer layer perceptron is a feed-forward network consists of one hidden layer with one or more hidden nodes between its input and output layers and can be trained by using back propagation algorithm. However, this algorithm suffers from slow converge...
