evaporation is one of the most important components of hydrologic cycle.accurate estimation of this parameter is used for studies such as water balance,irrigation system design, and water resource management. in order to estimate theevaporation, direct measurement methods or physical and empirical models can beused. using direct methods require installing meteorological stations andinstruments ...

Routing is one of the basic parts of a message passing multiprocessor system. The routing procedure has a great impact on the efficiency of a system. Neural algorithms that are currently in use for computer networks require a large number of neurons. If a specific topology of a multiprocessor network is considered, the number of neurons can be reduced. In this paper a new recurrent neural ne...

Precipitation forecasting due to its random nature in space and time always faced with many problems and this uncertainty reduces the validity of the forecasting model. Nowadays nonlinear networks as intelligent systems to predict such complex phenomena are widely used. One of the methods that have been considered in recent years in the fields of hydrology is use of wavelet transform as a moder...

important parameters on apple drying process are investigated experimentally and modeled employing artificial neural network and neuro-taguchi's method. experimental results show that the apple drying curve stands in the falling rate period of drying. temperature is the most important parameter that has a more pronounced effect on drying rate than the other two parameters i.e. air velocity and ...

abstract cation exchange capacity (cec) is an important characteristic of soil in terms of nutrient and water holding capacities and contamination management. measurement of cec is laborious and time-consuming. therefore, cec estimation through other easily - measured properties is desirable. in this study, ptfs for estimation of cation exchange capacity from basic soil properties such as parti...

Solubility data of solid in aqueous and different organic solvents are very important physicochemical properties considered in the design of the industrial processes and the theoretical studies. In this study, experimental solubility data of 666 pharmaceutical compounds in water and 712 pharmaceutical compounds in organic solvents were collected from different sources. Three different artificia...

introduction: huntington disease (hd) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which affects movement control system of the brain. hd symptoms lead to patient’s gait change and influence stride time intervals. in this study, we present a grey box mathematical model to simulate hddisorders. this model contains main physiological findings about bg. methods: we used artificial neural networks (a...

Neural networks are applicable in identification systems from input-output data. In this report, we analyze theHammerstein-Wiener models and identify them. TheHammerstein-Wiener systems are the simplest type of block orientednonlinear systems where the linear dynamic block issandwiched in between two static nonlinear blocks, whichappear in many engineering applications; the aim of nonlinearsyst...
