in recent decades, seizure prediction caused a lot of research in both signal processing and neuroscience field. the researches tried to enhance the conventional seizure prediction algorithms such that rate of the false alarms be appropriately small so that seizures can be predicted according to clinical standards. up to now none of the proposed algorithms have been sufficiently adequate. in th...

background and purpose: kidney failure reduces the kidney function and in long term it leads to chronic kidney disease. one of the main complications of this disease is irreversible damage to the kidneys (end-stage kidney disease) and hemodialysis is the main method used to treat advanced kidney failure. the main problem associated with hemodialysis is treating anemia caused by lack of erythrop...

abstract accurate prediction of river flow is one of the most important factors in surface water recourses management especially during floods and drought periods. in fact deriving a proper method for flow forecasting is an important challenge in water resources management and engineering. although, during recent decades, some black box models based on artificial neural networks (ann), have bee...
