wood and non-wood resources in the forests have occupied a very important place in human’s life, since the advent of history. and today, developing technology along with increasing needs enhance the importance of the other functions of forests, in parallel with wood production. both in the world and as well in turkey, one of the featured functions of forests is the production of non-woodforest ...

decision making on budgeting is one of the most important issues for executing managers. budgeting is a major tool for planning and control of projects. in public and non-profit organizations and institutions, estimating the costs and revenues plays an important role in receiving credit and budgeting. in this regard, in the present paper the case of isfahan municipality is considered. one of th...

abstract prediction of input flow into water resources is regarded as one of the most important issues in optimum planning and management in producing electro-water energy and optimum allocation of water into different consumption sources. different parameters affect on input discharge into dams. climate variables including temperature and rainfall have the most effect on input runoff rate to w...

dna sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. this protein sequence takes on a 3d structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in dna. every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...

this study was conducted to investigate the prediction of growth performance using linear regression and artificial neural network (ann) in broiler chicken. artificial neural networks (anns) are powerful tools for modeling systems in a wide range of applications. the ann model with a back propagation algorithm successfully learned the relationship between the inputs of metabolizable energy (kca...

the main purpose of this paper is prediction of tse corporate financial bankruptcy using artificial neural networks. the mean values of key ratios reported in past bankruptcy studies were selected for neural network inputs (working capital to total assets, net income to total assets, total debt to total assets, current assets to current liabilities, quick assets to current liabilities). the neu...

This paper reports on the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Partial Least Squareregression (PLS) combined with NIR spectroscopy (900-1700 nm) to design calibration models for thedetermination of sugar content in sugar beet. In this study a total of 80 samples were used as the calibration set,whereas 40 samples were used for prediction. Three pre-processing methods, including Multiplic...
