The Fragmented Orchestra is a distributed musical instrument which combines live audio streams from geographically disparate sites, and granulates each according to the spike timings of an artificial spiking neural network. This paper introduces the work, outlining its historical context, technical architecture, neuronal model and network infrastructure, making specific reference to modes of in...

this paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (ccfst) stub columns under axial loading condition based on artificial neural networks (anns) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. the input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...

introduction: intravenous general anesthetic agents are among the most important and widely used anesthetic drugs in the clinical practice. many pharmacological studies have shown that potentiation of gaba and glycine on their receptors is the most plausible mechanism. nevertheless, there is limited information on the effects of co-administration of two or more of these agents. however, experim...

abstract agricultural sector is the most important sectors in the country which has a large share in total employment. the increasing supply of labor because population growth and low capacity of production cause the country with high rate of unemployment. therefore, stand with this crisis is one of the most important works of government. in this study using artificial neural network, the emplo...

in this paper, the artificial neural network (ann) approach is applied for forecasting groundwater level fluctuation in aghili plain,southwest iran. an optimal design is completed for the two hidden layers with four different algorithms: gradient descent withmomentum (gdm), levenberg marquardt (lm), resilient back propagation (rp), and scaled conjugate gradient (scg). rain,evaporation, relative...

abstract   background : leukemia is one of the mostcommon cancers in children, comprising more than a third of all childhood cancers. newly affected patients in usa are estimated as 10100cases, and if these cases are diagnosed late or proper treatment is not applied, then it can be mortal. because rapid and proper diagnosis of leukemia based on clinical or medicinal findings (without biopsy) is...

in this work, artificial neural network (ann) has been employed to propose a practical model forpredicting the surface tension of multi-component mixtures. in order to develop a reliable modelbased on the ann, a comprehensive experimental data set including 15 ternary liquid mixtures atdifferent temperatures was employed. these systems consist of 777 data points generally containinghydrocarbon ...

objective(s): this study aims to evaluate and predict the thermal conductivity of iron oxide nanofluid at different temperatures and volume fractions by artificial neural network (ann) and correlation using experimental data. methods: two-layer perceptron feedforward artificial neural network and backpropagation levenberg-marquardt (bp-lm) training algorithm are used to predict the thermal cond...

In this study, artificial neural network was used to predict the surface tension of 20 hydrocarbon mixtures. Experimental data was divided into two parts (70% for training and 30% for testing). Optimal configuration of the network was obtained with minimization of prediction error on testing data. The accuracy of our proposed model was compared with four well-known empirical equations. The arti...
