accurate groundwater level modeling and forecasting contribute to civil projects, land use, citys planning and water resources management. combined wavelet-artificial neural network (wann) model has been widely used in recent years to forecast hydrological and hydrogeological phenomena. this study investigates the sensitivity of the pre-processing to the wavelet type and decomposition level in ...

Fast and accurate network traffic identification is becoming essential for network management, high quality of service control and early detection of network traffic abnormalities. Techniques based on statistical features of packet flows have recently become popular for network classification due to the limitations of traditional port and payload based methods. In this paper, we propose a metho...

Software defect prediction models help testers find program modules that have a high probability of having defects. A method-calling network can express the dependencies between methods in program. Existing approaches do not sufficiently utilize to characterize structural features methods. To address this problem, study, it is proposed for first time characteristics are obtained by analyzing ne...

Although traditional signal-based structural health monitoring algorithms have been successfully employed for small structures, their application for large and complex bridges has been challenging due to non-stationary signal characteristics with a high level of noise. In this paper, a promising damage detection algorithm is proposed by incorporation of adaptive signal processing and Artificial...

reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. it also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. in this paper, the kohene...

nowadays, the environmental impact of transportation project and, especially air pollution impacts, are major concerns in evaluating transportation projects. based on this concern, beside definition of traditional objective functions like total travel time and total investment cost, different type of environmental related function is considered as objective function in urban network design. in ...

there are a variety of electrocardiogram (ecg) based methods to detect myocardial infarction (mi) patients. this study used the signal averaged electrocardiogram (saecg) and its wavelet coefficient as an index to detect mi. orthogonal leads signals from 50 acute myocardial infarction (ami) and 50 healthy subjects were selected from the national metrology institute of germany (ptb diagnostic dat...
