in this research, pomegranate arils are dehydrated by osmotic dehydration in 40, 50, and 60 % sucrose ‎solutions and at 45, 55 and 65 degrees c‎‏ ‏‎ and weight reduction, solids grain and water loss of the products ‎were measured at 60, 120 and 180 minutes of process. osmotic dehydration processes was modeled by ‎combination of neural network and fuzzy logic techniques (neuro-fuzzy) and respons...

many of the meteorological variables such as precipitation, strongly depend on the large scale atmospheric and ocean surface circulations.in the current study, the effect of climatic signals on the average monthly rainfall of the adjacent stations of sheshdeh and gharebolagh area was investigated during the statistical period twenty five years from 1985 to 2009. the regression and neural networ...

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...

Prediction of the production rate of the cutting dimensional stone process is crucial, especially when chain saw machines are used. The cutting dimensional rock process is generally a complex issue with numerous effective factors including variable and unreliable conditions of the rocks and cutting machines. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type of neural network and Radial Basis Functi...

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...

Utilization of membrane humidifiers is one of the methods commonly used to humidify reactant gases in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). In this study, polymeric porous membranes with different compositions were prepared to be used in a membrane humidifier module and were employed in a humidification test. Three different neural network models were developed to investigate several...
