streptokinase is a potent fibrinolytic agent which is widely used in treatment of deep vein thrombosis (dvt), pulmonary embolism (pe) and acute myocardial infarction (mi). major limitation of this enzyme is its short biological half-life in the blood stream. our previous report showed that complexing streptokinase with chitosan could be a solution to overcome this limitation. the aim of this re...

ecosystem of arid and semiarid regions of the world, much of the country lies in the sensitive and fragile environment canvases are that factors in the extinction and destruction are easily destroyed in this paper, artificial neural networks (anns) are introduced to obtain improved regional low-flow estimates at ungauged sites. a multilayer perceptron (mlp) network is used to identify the funct...

static deformation modulus is recognized as one of the most important parameters governing the behavior of rock masses. predictive models for the mechanical properties of rock masses have been used in rock engineering because direct measurement of the properties is difficult due to time and cost constraints. in this method the deformation modulus is estimated indirectly from classification syst...

artificial neural network is one of the most robust and reliable methods in online prediction of nonlinear incidents in machining. tool flank wear as a tool life criterion is an important task which is needed to be predicted during machining processes to establish an online tool life estimation system. in this study, an artificial neural network model was developed to predict the tool wear and ...

osmotic dehydration, as a minimal processing method, has found increasingly wide prospects during the past few decades. this process involves mass transfer which is commonly modeled by applications of different procedures, mostly based on fick's law. in this research, we approached the modeling process by first obtaining experimental measurement of potato’s solid gain, water loss and moisture c...

Estimation (Forecasting) of industrial production costs is one of the most important factor affecting decisions in the highly competitive markets. Thus, accuracy of the estimation is highly desirable. Hibrid Regression Neural Network is an approach proposed in this paper to obtain better fitness in comparison with Regression Analysis and the Neural Network methods. Comparing the estimated resul...

abstract cation exchange capacity (cec) is an important characteristic of soil in terms of nutrient and water holding capacities and contamination management. measurement of cec is laborious and time-consuming. therefore, cec estimation through other easily - measured properties is desirable. in this study, ptfs for estimation of cation exchange capacity from basic soil properties such as parti...

â  abstract: in this paper, artificial neural network (ann) was used for modeling the nonlinear structure of a debutanizer column in a refinery gas process plant. the actual input-output data of the system were measured in order to be used for system identification based on root mean square error (rmse) minimization approach. it was shown that the designed recurrent neural network is able to pr...

abstract infiltration is a significant process which controls the fate of water in the hydrologic cycle. the direct measurement of infiltration is time consuming, expensive and often impractical because of the large spatial and temporal variability. artificial neural networks (anns) are used as an indirect method to predict the hydrological processes. the objective of this study was to develop ...

one of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...
