Two important applications of rainfall-runoff models are forecasting and simulation. At present, rainfall-runoff models based on artificial intelligence methods are built basically for short-term forecasting purposes and these models are not very effective for simulation purposes. This study explores the applicability and effectiveness of adaptive neuro-fuzzy-system-based rainfall-runoff models...

In this study, a new adaptive controller is proposed for position control of pneumatic systems. Difficulties associated with the mathematical model of the system in addition to the instability caused by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in the learning-based controllers using gradient descent, motivate the development of a new approach for PWM pneumatics. In this study, two modified Feedback Error L...

Telemetry systems is an innovative design of electronics and computer system which can be used to take measurements from a remote site by using any type of link like Radio link, optical fiber, co-axial cables etc. Telemetry systems can take any of the measurement like pressure, temperature, density, humidity etc. from a target location and sends the taken measurements via wired or wireless link...

In the current study two methods are evaluated for predicting the compressive strength of concrete containing metakaolin. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model and stepwise regression (SR) model are developed as a reliable modeling method for simulating and predicting the compressive strength of concrete containing metakaolin at the different ages. The required data in training an...

In this paper, a modified analysis of Four Wave Mixing (FWM) by incorporating the third-order dispersion parameters is reported. With the help of a modified formula for FWM crosstalk, the effect of secondand third-order dispersion parameters at different input channel powers has been analysed. Under the combined effect of secondand third-order dispersion parameters, the crosstalk introduced by ...

Robust parameter design has been successfully applied to a variety of engineering problems for enhancing the robustness of the system; however, it cannot deal with multiple dynamic quality systems. Although several other approaches have been presented to resolve this problem, they are unable to efficiently treat the situations that the control factors have continuous values. This study incorpor...

In this paper, the effect of possible missing data on wind power estimation is examined. One−month wind speed data obtained from wind and solar observation station which is constructed at Iki Eylul Campus of Anadolu University is used. A closed correlation is found between consecutive wind speed data that are collected for a period of 15 second. A very short time wind speed forecasting model is...
