In this paper, a reliability approach on reconfiguration decisions in a supply chain network is studied based on coupling the simulation concepts and artificial neural network. In other words, due to the limited budget for warehouse relocation in a supply chain, the failure probability is assessed for determining the robust decision for future supply chain configuration. Traditional solving ...

to determine the amount of food amino acid and to spend time in the laboratories are expensive & time-consuming due to a chemical analysis. in the current laboratories, digestion nirs method is widely used for this purpose. but this method has technical limitation. therefor is important find appropriate method for estimate amount of amino acids. artificial neural network (ann) can provide a bet...

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.

cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. in recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. this research was conducted to compare cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. the prese...

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...

since a high toxicity of cyanide which use as a reagent in the gold processing plant, thiosulfate has been recognized as a environmental friendly reagent for leaching of gold from ore. after gold leaching process it's important for recovery of gold from solution using adsorption or extraction methods, one of these methods is activated carbon.the loading of gold from industrial thiosulfate solut...

abstract- the high production of orange fruit in iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. this study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. the hardware consisted of two units. an image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. the second unit consisted of a robotic...

this study investigates the correlations among the tensile strength, mineral composition, and textural features of twenty-ninesandstones from kouzestan province. the regression analyses as well as artificial neural network (ann) are also applied to evaluatethe correlations. the results of simple regression analyses show no correlation between mineralogical features and tensile strength.however,...
