in the current research the artificial neural network models were used for predicting mass transfer kinetics of osmotically dehydrated kiwifruit. osmotic dehydration operations were performed in sucrose solution with concentrations of 30, 40, 50 and 60% at temperatures of 20, 40 and 60°c for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. multi-layer neural network with 3 inputs (operating conditions) was develope...

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...

In this work, the artificial neural networks (ANN) technology was applied to the simulation of oleuropein extraction process. For this technology, a 3-layer network structure is applied, and the operation factors such as  amount  of  flow  intensity  ratio,  temperature,  residence  time,  and  pH  are  used  as  input  variables  of  the network,  whereas  the  extraction  yield  is  considere...

estimation of pure runoff is a house virtually is complex and different methods of calculation have been proposed. modern methods of solving problems in river engineering and water homes and assess the flow method is used, is that the artificial network pattern of human brain neural network training process, while implementation of the internal relationships between the data and discover for ot...

the major aim of processing satellite images is to prepare topical and effectivemaps. the selection of appropriate classification methods plays an important role. amongvarious methods existing for image classification, artificial neural network method is ofhigh accuracy. in present study, tm images of 1987, and etm+ images of 2000 and 2006were analyzed using artificial fuzzy artmap neural netwo...

neural network is one of the most widely used algorithms in the field of machine learning, on the other hand, neural network training is a complicated and important process. supervised learning needs to be organized to reach the goal as soon as possible. a supervised learning algorithm analyzes the training data and produces an inferred function, which can be used for mapping new examples.  hen...

Bio-absorbent palm fiber was applied for removal of cationic violet methyl dye from water solution. For this purpose, a solid phase extraction method combined with the artificial neural network (ANN) was used for preconcentration and determination of removal level of violet methyl dye. This method is influenced by factors such as pH, the contact time, the rotation speed, and the adsorbent dosag...
