This study was conducted to rate the land characteristics of corn in hot areas based on artificial neural networks and regression models. For this purpose, 63 corn fields were selected in southern Iran. In each farm, a pedon was excavated, described and sampled. A questionnaire was completed for each farm. A stepwise regression model was used to study the relationship between land characteristi...

abstract: this paper represents a novel use of artificial neural networks in medical science. the proposed technique involves training a multi layer perceptron (mlp) (a kind of artificial neural network) with a bp learning algorithm to recognize a pattern for the diagnosing and prediction of five blood disorders, through the results of blood tests from h1 machine. the blood test parameters and ...

with the increase of the volume of information and the progress in technology, the deficiency of traditional algorithms for fast information retrieval becomes more clear. when large volumes of data are to be handled, the use of neural network as an artificial intelligent technique is a suitable method to increase the information retrieval speed. neural networks present a suitable representation...

A functional relationship between two variables, applied mass to a weighing platform and estimated mass using Multi-Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Networks is approximated by a linear function. Linear relationships and correlation rates are obtained which quantitatively verify that the Artificial Neural Network model is functioning satisfactorily. Estimated mass is achieved through recallin...

The paper deals with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). We believe that solving for the DEA efficiency measure, simultaneously with neural network model, provides a promising rich approach to optimal solution. In this paper, a new neural network model is used to estimate the inefficiency of DMUs in large datasets.

background: one issue of concern in water supply is the quality of water. measuring the qualitative parameters of water is time-consuming and costly. predicting these parameters using various models leads to a reduction in related expenses and the presentation of overall and comprehensive statistics for water resource management. methods: the present study used an artificial neural network (ann...

gas hydrates are a costly problem when they plug oil and gas pipelines. the best way to determine the hft and pressure is to measure these conditions experimentally for every gas system. since this is not practical in terms of time and money, correlations are the other alternative tools. there are a small number of correlations for specific gravity method to predict the hydrate formation. as th...

one of the main aims of water resource planners and managers is to estimate and predict the parameters of groundwater quality so that they can make managerial decisions. in this regard, there have many models developed, proposing better management in order to maintain water quality. most of these models require input parameters that are either hardly available or time-consuming and expensive to...
