limitations on freshwater resources have caused water resources managers to focus an increasing attention over the past few decades on water quality protection. surface water quality management in such resources as rivers, seas, lakes, and estuaries is of a greater importance than other water resources and a greater number of studies have been conducted on them as they are more accessible and, ...

Precipitation forecasting due to its random nature in space and time always faced with many problems and this uncertainty reduces the validity of the forecasting model. Nowadays nonlinear networks as intelligent systems to predict such complex phenomena are widely used. One of the methods that have been considered in recent years in the fields of hydrology is use of wavelet transform as a moder...

The aim of this study is to employ the novel Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System to optimize the torque applied on the knee link of a rehabilitation robot. Given the special conditions of stroke or spinal cord injury patients, devices with minimum error are required for performing the rehabilitation exercises. After examining the anthropometric data tables of human body, parameters su...

a neuro-fuzzy modeling tool (anfis) has been used to dynamically model cross flow ultrafiltration of milk. it aims to predict permeate flux and total hydraulic resistance as a function of transmembrane pressure, ph, temperature, fat, molecular weight cut off, and processing time. dynamic modeling of ultrafiltration performance of colloidal systems (such as milk) is very important for designing ...

A comparison is made of two approaches to approximate reasoning: Mamdani's interpolation method and the implication method. Both approaches are variants of Zadeh's compositional rule of inference. It is shown that the approaches are not equivalent. A correspondence between the approaches is established via the inverse of the implied fuzzy relation. The interpolation method has the lowest time-c...

Real-time cell scheduling is a promising area for the application of evolvable hardware (EHW). In this paper, we describe an intrinsic evolvable and online adaptive EHW for solving the packet switching problem. Based on the coding and evolution scheme, we refer to it as evolvable fuzzy hardware (EFH), an extension of our proposed evolvable fuzzy system (EFS) [1, 2] and reconfigurable fuzzy infe...

The UV-spectrophotometric method of analysis was proposed for simultaneous determination of fluoxetine (FLX) and sertraline (SRT). Considering the strong spectral overlap between UV-Vis spectra of these compounds, a previous separation should be carried out in order to determine them by conventional spectrophotometric techniques. Here, full-spectrum multivariate calibrations adaptive neuro-fuzz...

Quantitative assessment is the most important means to identify hazard potential and manage risk for an industrial process. The implement of quantitative assessment in the early stage will help to develop inherently safer process, eliminating the hazard and reduce the possibility of accidental chain events and the magnitude of consequences. In this paper, after reviewing the presently available...

This paper presents a fuzzy neural network system (FNNS) for implementing fuzzy inference systems. In the FNNS, a fuzzy similarity measure for fuzzy rules is proposed to eliminate redundant fuzzy logical rules, so that the number of rules in the resulting fuzzy inference system will be reduced. Moreover, a fuzzy similarity measure for fuzzy sets that indicates the degree to which two fuzzy sets...
