        Mammography is a diagnostic technology used in screening programs to find breast cancer early. By using two techniques for image enhancement and highlighting breast tissue microcalcifications for the desired areas by regional ROI based on fuzzy system and also Gabor filtering method, the study's objective was to assess the viability of automatic separation of images of breast tissue microcalcifications and to assess its accuracy. The decision tree classification algorithm is used to categorize the clusters of breast tissue microcalcifications after the clusters have been identified. The samples that are thought to have microcalcification are next highlighted and masked for segmentation, and in the last step, tissue properties are extracted. Then, it was possible to distinguish between benign and malignant forms of segmented ROI clusters with the aid of an artificial neural network (ANN). The results of this work show a high accuracy of 93% and an improvement of sensitivity of 95%, which shows that the presented solution can be reliably applied to detect breast cancer..

        This research makes use of two different approaches to compress medical images for long-term purposes. In the first method, images are compressed using the Huffman cipher and then simplified using a hierarchical modeling based on a neural network-designed categorization. A prediction strategy based on deep neural network training is employed in the second method. This technique uses a trained neural network to infer the locations of individual pixels, hence reducing the amount of data required to describe a picture. Huffman compression encryption is used on the leftover data. An enhanced spatial filtering technique is used to decode the picture data, and the wild horse optimization and gray wolf optimization meta-heuristic algorithms are then used to produce a rebuilt image. Without compromising compression efficiency, this allows for a more realistic application of the suggested solutions in non-deterministic contexts. The suggested approaches allow for picture simplification, which has resulted in faster decoding. Structural similarity index modulation, time and peak signal-to-noise ratio have been improved by an average of 2, 30.1 and 15.15%, respectively. The suggested algorithms were able to compress medical photos with very high quality level, as compared to the current deep learning-based methods. Manuscript profile

        This article discusses data mining methods for predicting financial markets and analyzing sustainable development in financial matters. It also examines the impact of using data mining methods in the stock market and their effectiveness in this area. The research introduces a machine learning approach that generates information using publicly available data and uses this information for accurate prediction. It also explores various data mining methods relevant to financial market analysis, focusing on predicting stock market movements and trends. The study demonstrates that due to the dynamic and variable nature of financial markets influenced by economic, political, and social factors, the use of machine learning and data mining methods can lead to more accurate predictions of stock price movements. Given the extensive and complex data in financial markets, data mining methods have the potential to discover hidden patterns and determine relationships between various variables. Various machine learning algorithms such as artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and random forests, alongside statistical analyses, help improve the analytical capabilities of analysts and investors in making economic decisions. Furthermore, the use of big data and complex analyses has contributed to the development of intelligent trading strategies that can help optimize returns on investments. For example, analysts can enhance the accuracy of their predictions by incorporating sentiment data from social networks into their models. The study emphasizes that sustainable development in financial markets requires a deeper understanding and more precise analysis of data, ultimately leading to stronger data-driven decision-making and trading processes.

        Nowdays, organizations generate a significant volume of log files that require processing for condition checking, debugging, and anomaly resolution. Outsourcing such processing is not suitable due to the need for real-time processing and security maintenance. Given the multitude of different software and services, organizations face a substantial volume of production logs that should be processed rather than deleted or ignored. In the traditional approach, experts manually check the logs daily. This, on one hand, slows down the process, increases the time and inaccuracy, and, on the other hand, results in a high hiring cost due to the need for an expert force. This article introduces a solution that employs generative neural networks to establish a local structure for log analysis within the organization. The process involves retrieving and parsing text files from various sectors, segmenting them into manageable portions, embedding them, and storing them in a vector database. In this structure, a trained individual without special expertise can quickly access necessary information using appropriate prompts from a local language model available at any time. As a result, three overarching goals are achieved: maintaining security, increasing the speed of analysis, and reducing human resource costs. Manuscript profile

        The present study is an attempt in applying the combination of dynamic neural network and decomposition of wavelet in order to make possible the selection of an optimized pattern for predicting considered variable. For the purpose of research, monthly time series of exchange rate from April 1998 to December 2012 were used including 177 observations from which 150 observations were used for modeling purpose and 27 observations were used for simulation or in other words for presenting predictions out of samples. The findings of present study imply that firstly, dynamic neural network models compared to feed-forward multilayer neural networks have better performance in predicting exchange rate out of sample, based on both criteria for prediction error calculation: MSE & RMSE and secondly, applying wavelet decomposition technique improves prediction results of mentioned models based on both criteria. The third point is that among mentioned models, the best result belongs to predictions obtained from dynamic neural networks based on decomposed data by wavelet technique. Therefore, applying this combination of models as an optimized combination is suggested to monetary researchers, analysts and decision makers of country. Manuscript profile

        Size of classroom’s windows has significant effects on both comfort level of users and electricity consumption for lighting. Moreover, windows are the main source of energy loss in classrooms in both cooling and heating Sectors. Considering the large number of educational buildings and long life cycle of such buildings, choosing proper window size is crucial for energy saving in sustainable architectural design. Despite the role that windows have in energy consumption, the literatures are surprisingly limited in providing detailed recommendations for architects in determining the appropriate window size in different climates. Therefore, energy based window design has always been complicated for architects due to the number of involved different components and variables. In order to help the architectural designers, in this paper a new methodology is developed using a well-known artificial intelligence technique. In proposed methodology, a predictive model for energy consumption cost in terms of window to wall ratio (WWR) and the window facing was created using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The methodology consisted of a limited sets of direct numerical energy simulations for any specific climatic zone to generate the data required for training the ANN. The DOE-2 is suggested in the proposed methodology for direct numerical energy simulations of the daylighting scenarios required for training the ANN. The DOE-2 is a popular and powerful computational model developed with financial support of U.S. department of energy. The trained ANN-based model provides a fast and convenient way of comparing the different daylighting scenarios in designing stage. Indeed, further calculations for direct energy simulations are not necessary and an architect can readily utilize the trained ANN-based model as a powerful tool for forecasting the total energy consumption cost. In order to show the applicability and performance of the proposed approach, 288 daylighting scenarios for a standard classroom in a warm and dry climate, Shiraz-Iran, were simulated to determine the corresponding electric and gas consumption. A square classroom of side 7.4 m is the standard classroom defined by Iranian Organization for Renovating, Developing and Equipping Schools. The DOE-2 is utilized for simulating the defined standard classroom in the study area for estimating the annual gas and electric consumption of the generated scenarios over a 50 years period. The included daylighting scenarios were randomly split into train and test sets. In this study, around 80 percent of data were used for training, and the rest were used to evaluate the performance of the trained ANN. The best training and learning functions for different number of layers and neurons was determined in a trial-error process. Correlation Coefficient (CC), Mean square error (MSE) and Root mean square error (RMSE) are the statistical indices used for training procedure. The best results were obtained with 2 hidden layers and 6 neurons per layer. The 'Levenverg-Marquardt back propagation (trainlm)' and 'perceptron weight and bias learning function (learnp)' were the best training functions found for this research. The results show that the trained ANN can accurately predict the total energy consumption cost (RMSE=0.0811, MSE=0.0066, and CC=0.9672). Manuscript profile

        In this paper we propose a new method for ranking Z- numbers and generalizations. This method is based on the internal structure of the artificial neural network, which suggests that the structure of this network consists of inputs weights and the transfer function linear, nonlinear and sometimes linear and nonlinear. It is shown that the proposed method while possessing the ranking properties for Z -numbers whose components of the limiting part are equal and their confidence interval having the same center of gravity has a more logical ranking than those using the center of gravity. While some of the available methods for Z numbers whose boundaries are equal but not equal to their reliability but have the same focal gravity they rank equally which can not be logical in all cases. Therefore, the proposed method overcomes this problem. In some examples the correctness of the subject is shown. the results are compared with some existing methods. Manuscript profile

        Given the importance of banking systems and the misuse of this platform for money laundering purposes, the urgent need for the implementation of anti-money laundering systems by governments and policy makers in economic affairs is important. Also, due to the growth of terrorism and organized fraud, and the passage of numerous laws against these cases, the need for these systems is increasing. On the other hand, the complexity of money laundering suspicious behaviors is such that no significant action can be taken to detect money laundering without intelligent and data-driven tools. An important and perhaps practical point in Iran is the proximity of these systems to anti-bribery, fraud, violation and inspection systems, which can be considered as an efficient tool for the bank's inspection unit. This paper presents an approach based on data analysis and processing. In this approach, using self-organizing maps, bank branches are clustered based on similar behaviors, then the process of labeling branches is performed using a linear index. In the next step, using the training of a multi-layer neural network, a model for identifying bank branches in which suspicious money laundering processes take place is introduced. Manuscript profile

        Constrained optimization problems have a wide range of applications in science, economics, and engineering. In this paper, a neural network model is proposed to solve a class of nonsmooth constrained optimization problems with a nonsmooth convex objective function subject to nonlinear inequality and affine equality constraints. It is a one-layer non-penalty recurrent neural network based on the differential inclusion. Unlike most of the existing neural network models, there is neither a penalty parameter nor a penalty function in its structure. It has less complexity which leads to the easier implementation of the model for solving optimization problems. The equivalence of optimal solutions set of the main optimization problem and the equilibrium points set of the model is proven. Moreover, the global convergence and the stability of the introduced neural network are shown. Some examples including the L1-norm minimization problem are given and solved by the proposed model to illustrate its performance and effectiveness. Manuscript profile

        تزریق بیش از اندازه وجه به خودپردازها موجب تحمیل هزینه اضافی به بانک و کمبود وجه در دستگاه‌ها موجب نارضایتی مشتریان و به خطر افتادن برند بانک خواهد شد. برای این منظور باید در دستگاه‌های خودپرداز وجه نقد قابل ملاحظه‌ای تزریق شود تا پاسخگوی نیاز مشتریان باشد؛ اما تأکید بر این رویه ممکن است سبب رسوب پول در دستگاه‌ها شده و زیان‌های اقتصادی برای بانک به ‌همراه داشته باشد. بنابراین، بانک‌ها همان‌طور که به مدیریت نقدینگی در شعب می‌پردازند، باید با توجه به شرایط زمانی، مکانی و اقتصادی به مدیریت نقدینگی دستگاه‌های خودپرداز نیز بپردازند. مهمترین گام در این راستا تشخیص میزان تقاضای وجه نقد مشتریان است. بدین منظور میانگین تراکنشهای 9 ماه سال 95 برای 1377 دستگاه خودپرداز مورد سنجش قرار داده شده و در این مقاله سعی شده است تا با پیدا کردن یک الگوی رفتاری از مشتریان با استفاده از شبکه عصبی سری زمانی پویا (NARX) روند نقدینگی دستگاه‌های خودپرداز پیش بینی شود. نتایج بدست آمده نشان می دهد که مدل طراحی شده با شبکه عصبی پویا نسبت به مدلهای کلاسیک از کارایی بهتری برخوردار بوده است.

        Voltaire integral equations as the output of problems in basic sciences and engineering have a special application in advancing the solution of complex problems. One of the most widely used types, which consists of a random process under external motion, is the equations of random Volta integral. Solving this type of equation has always been a challenge for researchers. On the other hand, with the development of artificial intelligence and the presentation of fuzzy artificial neural network method as a model inspired by the process of thinking and analysis in the human brain, advanced models of algorithms have been designed. Some of these learning algorithms have been used in fuzzy artificial neural networks to solve equations. In this paper, using this method and designing a learning algorithm, the random equations of random Voltaire type is investigated. The method presented in this article, in addition to being more accurate than the previous methods, posseses more speed for solving problem. This topic provides an acceptable level of confidence for researchers when dealing with such issues. Manuscript profile

        Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has two fundamental approaches for assessing theefficiency with different characteristics; radial and non-radial models. This paper isconcerned the non-radial model of Russell which is a non linear model. Conventional DEAfor a large dataset with many inputs/outputs would require huge computer resources in termsof memory and CPU time. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is one of the most populartechniques for non linear models and for measuring the relative efficiency of a large datasetwith many inputs/ outputs. Also in the last decade researches focused on efficiencyevaluation via DEA as well as using ANN. In this paper we will estimate the input excessesand the output shortfalls in addition to efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs) inRussell model through ANN. The proposed integrated approach is applied to an actualIranian bank set; the result indicates that it yields a satisfactory solution.works. Manuscript profile

        Decision Neural Network is a new approach for solving multi-objective decision-making problems based on artificial neural networks. Using inaccurate evaluation data, network training has improved and the number of educational data sets has decreased. The available training method is based on the gradient decent method (BP). One of its limitations is related to its convergence speed. Therefore, decision makers can simply guess the necessary data. In this paper, for increasing the Decision Neural Network training efficiency, a conjugate gradient based method has developed for network training. The key point in decision neural network training is to keep the same structures and parameters of the two sub network (multilayer perceptron) through training process. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated by estimating linear and nonlinear utility function of multi-objective decision problems. The results of the proposed method are compared with previous existing method and show that in the proposed method, convergence is faster than previous methods and the results are more favorable.

        Introduction: The health system has one of the most complex supply chains in the world to deal with human health and well-being. The pharmaceutical supply chain is part of this system. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to develop a model to evaluate supply chain sustainability in this industry. Methods: First, by reviewing previous studies, indicators related to supply chain sustainability in economic, social, environmental and governance dimensions were extracted. Then, using a survey method to implement the model designed in ANFIS, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the sustainability factors in the case study. Results: The designed ANFISs with 50 training courses achieved acceptable error rates. In the economic and social dimension, the trend of sustainability changes was initially decreasing and then increasing. In the environmental dimension where negative indicators were considered, the trend is quite decreasing. In the governance dimension, the trend of incremental stability changes is. In the present study, the root mean square error (RMSE) is considered as a criterion for model validation. Conclusion: To improve the condition, sustainability must first be evaluated and measured so that the results can be quantified after the improvement measures. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the model designed in ANFIS is a good tool for assessing sustainability. Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this research is to propose a fraud detection model using an integrated approach based on the factor analysis model and the artificial neural network method. The network used to predict corporate financial fraud has 17 neurons (selected financial ratios) in the input layer and 1 neuron (corporate fraud status) in the output layer. The conversion function used in the output layer is linear and for the middle layer a non-linear sigmoid function is selected. The neural network used in this research is a feed forward neural network with back propagation algorithm. The statistical population of this study is comprised of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange in the time interval from1392 to 1393. Out of these companies, 140 have been selected as the research sample. The Beneish M-Score model has been used in order to classify the companies with the likelihood of fraudulent and non-fraudulent reporting. According to the Beneish M-Score Model, 78 companies were fraudulent in terms of their reports and 62 were non-fraudulent. For the final selection of the input variables (financial ratios) in the artificial neural network, the confirmatory factor analysis model and the principal component analysis model have been used. The results obtained from the aforementioned models have shown that the reported structure of the neural network model has 7 hidden layer neurons and the momentum learning algorithm has been used for training the network. This algorithm was more precise and functioned better than other reviewed structures. Therefore, it was selected as the final adjustment of the neural network.. The obtained results indicated that the artificial neural network method had a higher performance in this regard; in that the precision of classification of fraudulent and non-fraudulent firms and the overall performance of the artificial neural network method was57and 69%,72,73%,61,62% respectively.

        In today's era, human interventions have caused chaos in landscape patterns and degradation in landscape quality. Therefore, identifying landscape aesthetic beauty, and also fundamental planning and valuable areas, and proper planning and design in order to protect and promote the aesthetic value seem to be necessary and unavoidable. In this research, the aim is to investigate the performance of various experimental methods (multi-criteria evaluation using weighted linear combination), mathematical (logistic regression), and intelligent (neural network)) in estimating the suitability of the aesthetic value of Gorgan city. After theoretical studies and determination of effective criteria, mapping and standardization of the criteria were done and finally, the map of aesthetic-value suitability was prepared based on the methods of weighted linear combination, neural network, and logistic regression. In order to evaluate the performance of different methods and choose the optimal method, ground control points and ROC validation methods were used. The results showed that in the map resulting from the weighted linear combination method, a large part of the data was lost as a result of the linear combination of layers and weighting, and the neural network method with intelligent performance and the ability to combine and analyze non-linearly compared to the weighted linear combination method and also performing back and forth analysis compared to the logistic regression method, better separates the value of the studied area. According to the results of this research, it can be concluded that when there is little knowledge about the studied area and it is not possible to conduct field surveys to record valuable points of view, performing the weighted linear combination method can be a solution, but if it is possible to conduct field surveys to prepare a map of real educational samples as a dependent variable, more accurate results can be obtained with the help of the neural network method and logistic regression, more accurate results can be achieved, and in the meantime, the intelligent neural network method has a higher ability to distinguish the values of the environment image.

        In this study, a multi-objective simulation model was presented and six scenarios were defined based on the groundwater budget for optimal exploitation of Shahryar plain aquifer. For this purpose, first, using the GIS based models and using fuzzy and weight methods, the regions with high water and low water in the study area were identified in order to prioritize resources and uses. Then the desired scenarios were simulated and evaluated by the (GMS) model. Finally, in order to increase the accuracy of the research results, the (TDS) concentration and the groundwater budget were simulated using the artificial neural network model (ANN). According to the results of fuzzy and weighted methods, the areas of Rabat Karim, then Islamshahr and finally Shahryar were identified as low water areas. Based on the obtained results, the unsteady state budget and verification were calculated as -344.68 and -109.98 (MCM), respectively. The third scenario with a budget of 203.33 (MCM) was chosen as the best scenario and the budget resulting from that, ratio to the budget resulting from the model (GMS) and the neural network for the year 95, has increased by 284.87 percent and 284.83 percent respectively. Also, the concentration of total dissolved solids in the groundwater obtained from the desired models in the entire study period was estimated by 655 and 651 mg/liter on average. The criteria of correlation coefficient and determination coefficient obtained from neural network models for groundwater budget and total data were estimated to be equal to one and for the total dissolved solids concentration of groundwater were estimated to be 0.997 and 0.994, respectively. In the present research, the multi-objective simulation pattern as a comprehensive and practical method by providing new simulation methods has the ability to support several effective scenarios and leads to increase the stability of the groundwater system.

        Soil texture is one of the most important soil properties that affect many physico-chemical properties such as water storage, cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil fertility and soil ventilation. Today, artificial intelligence technology such as neural and neuro-fuzzy networks is used to solve problems in modeling systems and processes. For this purpose, 150 soil samples from a depth of 0 - 15 cm of Gavshan Dam watershed in the Kurdistan province were collected. The geographic locations, height and slope percent of every sampling point were recorded. The particle size distribution of samples was measured in the laboratory using hydrometer method. The longitude and latitude, height, slope percent and soil texture particles of training points were introduced to artificial neural networks to estimate soil texture particles by MATLAB software. The accuracy of model was evaluated by scoring, using statistical indicators such as root mean square error (RMSE), the ratio of geometric mean error (GMER) and correlation coefficient (R2). According to the results, the values for estimating sand and clay are approximately the same and for predicting the silt, less than sand and clay, and 37.0, although less error. The accuracy and accuracy of the model show that the neural network does not have any accuracy and accuracy in estimating the percentage of soil texture components and the soil texture mapping.

        Accurate estimation of sediment transport in rivers due to erosion is an important factor for the management of hydrological projects. Artificial neural networks are of great importance for many reasons, such as the ability to detect patterns, the good relationship between input and output, and the need for less input data to predict suspended sedimentation. Accordingly, the present study attempts to model the estimation of suspended sediment content in the Pasikhan River using the artificial neural network of the M5 decision tree. The amount of sediment in rivers is subject to many parameters of river geometry, hydraulic flow and sediment properties. For this reason, in this study, it has been tried to reduce the number of effective parameters by first dimensioning the effective parameters on sediment transport capacity. The results showed that the initial decision tree, the M5 tree, does not require pruning and is suitable for use. Three parameters of determination coefficient (R2), mean relative error (ME) and mean squared error (RMSE) were used to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction model. The obtained values for these three parameters were 0.851, 1037.64 and 941.32, respectively, indicating the suitability of these three parameters. Comparison of suspended sediment yield from decision tree model with Pasikhan River measurement data showed that the coefficient of determination was 0.8953 which is a very good value. The results showed that this model is effective in predicting suspended sediment content in the Pasikhan River. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Rainfall is one of the complex natural phenomena and one of the most crucial component of the water cycle, playing a significant role in assessing the climatic characteristics of each region. Understanding the amount and trends of rainfall changes is essential for effective management and more precise planning in agricultural, economic, and social sectors, as well as for studies related to runoff, droughts, groundwater status, and floods. Additionally, rainfall prediction in urban areas has a significant impact on traffic control, sewage flow, and construction activities. Method: The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of classification models, including Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID), C5 decision tree, Naive Bayes (NB), Quest tree, and Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in predicting rainfall occurrence using 50 years of data from the synoptic station at Hamedan Airport. In this study, 80% of the data is used for training the models, and 20% for model validation and the results obtained from the model executions are compared using metrics such as confusion matrix, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) index. To create the classification variable for rainfall and non-rainfall data, based on rainfall data, the days of the year are categorized into two classes: days with rainfall (y) and days without rainfall (n). Data preprocessing is performed using Automatic Data Preprocessing (ADP). Then, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is employed to reduce the dimensions of the variables. Results: In this study, the PCA method reduces the dimensions of the variables to 5. Also, approximately 80% of the available data corresponds to rainless days, while 20% corresponds to rainy days. The research results indicated that the KNN model with an accuracy of 91.9% for training data and the SVM model with 89.13% for test data exhibit the best performance among the data mining models. The AUC index for the KNN model is 0.967 for training data and 0.935 for test data, while for the SVM algorithm, it is 0.967 for training data and 0.935 for test data. According to the ROC curve for Hamedan rainfall data, the KNN model outperforms other models. Considering the sensitivity index in the confusion matrix, the KNN and SVM models perform better in predicting non-rainfall occurrence for training data. In terms of the precipitation occurrence prediction, the RT and KNN models show better results according to the specificity index. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that for the RT, C5, ANN, SVM, BN, KNN, CHAID, QUEST, accuracy metrics was obtained 86.82%, 89.78%, 89.55%, 89.96%, 88.06%, 91.9%, 88.29%, 87.46%, 91.9%, respectively for training data. Moreover, for test data, the accuracy metrics for this model was obtained 83.82%, 87.9%, 88.12%, 89.13%, 87.12%, 89.13%, 87.12%, 88.19%, 86.93%, 86.76%, respectively. The AUC index in the training data for RT, C5, ANN, SVM, BN, KNN, CHAID QUEST models was 0.94%, 0.99%, 0.94%, 0.94%, 0.93%, 0.97%, 0.93%, 0.89%, respectively. In addition, for the test data, this metric was evaluated 0.89%, 0.89%, 0.93%, 0.94%, 0.92%, 0.90%, 0.92%, 0.88% respectively. As observed, considering accuracy metric and AUC index for training data KNN model and for test data SVM model were more sufficient in rainfall prediction.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Fried food products are very popular due to their unique characteristics such as color, smell, taste and desirable texture. Controlling frying conditions and using edible hydrocolloid coatings (gums) is one of the best methods to reduce the oil uptake, moisture retention, and improving the appearance properties of fried foods.Materials and Methods: In this study, different concentrations of basil seed gum (0.0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% w/w) were used to coat the eggplant slices during deep-frying at 150, 175 and 200°C and the relationship between process parameters and the quality of final product were modeled by genetic algorithm-artificial neural network method.Results: The results of this study showed that coating with basil seed gum reduced the oil uptake of the final product. Coating pretreatment maintained the final product moisture and moisture content of the sample coated with 1.5% gum was higher than the other samples (64.05%). This process was modeled by genetic algorithm-artificial neural network method with 2 inputs that included basil seed gum concentration and frying temperature and 5 outputs that included oil percentage, moisture content, and three main color indexes (yellowness(b*), redness (a*), and lightness (L*)). The results of modeling showed that a network with 4 neurons in a hidden layer and using the hyperbolic tangent activation function can predict the physicochemical properties of fried eggplant slices.Conclusion: The coating containing 1.5% of basil seed gum retained moisture content and reduced oil absorption by the fried samples, and this coating is recommended as a suitable edible coating for coating of eggplant slices before the frying process. Sensitivity analysis results showed that the changes in the concentration of basil seed gum had the highest effect on the lightness index and then on the oil content of fried eggplant slices. The change of frying temperature also had the highest effect on the lightness index of fried samples. Manuscript profile

        ntroduction: Soybean is recognized as a good source of essential nutrients including protein, oil and several bioactive compounds and soybean has the potential to be used as snack and roasted nut, but most significant factor responsible for such limitation is probably considered as the characteristic flavor of soybean. Raw soybean has beany, bitter and astringent flavors. Therefore to improve its consumption, the particular flavor of raw soybean must be removed. Roasting might be considered as one of the best methods for this object. Materials and Methods: In this study, the infrared roaster is designed and soybean has been prepared and roasted according to the experimental condition. In this work, an artificial neural network model was developed for modeling of moisture content of soybean snack during infrared roasting. In order to do this, infrared lamp powers of 250, 350 and 450 W, distance between lamp and sample of 4, 7 and 10 cm and roasting time of 30 min were considered as the inputs and the amount of moisture ratio (MR) was estimated as the output.

        Background and Objective: Predicting the results of the implementation of strategic air pollution control policies is the first and most important challenge for Tehran municipality. The main objective of this study was to define a specific method for assessing the result of urban air pollution controlling strategies in Tehran metropolis using a multi-dimensional decision support system. Method: First, the most appropriate air pollution control strategies were selected based on existing conditions and structures in each zone of the city and then weighed according to selected criteria. Based on the spatial monitoring of air pollution formation patterns in the past and present time, as well as the analysis of their effects, the results of implementing air pollution control strategies were simulated using Geo-Artificial Neural Network models. In the next step, variables of time series and uncertainty variables were simulated for predicting the potential future air pollution patterns and finally, the results of the defined control strategies were evaluated based on spatial thematic layers. Findings: Definition of final clusters of air quality control strategies, weighting and ranking of the selected policies based on defined criteria have been the first findings of this research. Also, extraction of time series zoning based on the data collected during a four-year period, as well as simulation of the baseline scenario models and spatial data layers of their output were among the achievements of this study. Finally, the modeling of the predictive variables, design of the air quality control software and the prediction of the results of the the implementation of air pollution control strategies were presented. The results showed that by applying the Geo-Artificial Neural Network models (GANN), the urban managers could effectively predict the results of implementing the air pollution control strategies. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the spatio-temporal analysis supports the process of evaluation and prediction of the effects of pollution and can be used to determine the best pollution control strategies for the zones affected by air pollution. The final results of GANN models indicate that if the selected strategies are implemented based on the scenarios defined, in the "optimistic scenario", air quality in all areas of Tehran is completely stable and remains healthy, while in the "ordinary scenario" will reduce the level of air pollution up to 70 percent in the autumn and winter season if the selected strategies are implemented compared to the lack of implementation of control plans. The final model of the verification process model also confirmed that the pattern of pollution predicted by the model in each of the urban areas had a proper trend and adaptation compared to the pattern of contamination obtained from the actual results of the field data.   Manuscript profile

Therefore, improving this system and reducing its operating costs as a necessity in urban waste management has always been considered. Method: Due to the high volatility, changes in the size of the waste, climate change and demographic and substructure tissue, the use of artificial neural network system (ANN) is a suitable method for predicting the production waste size, and on the other hand, for The optimization of the management system of these wastes is also used by the surface response method (RSM). Findings The results of this combined method show that the best combination of factors affecting urban waste transport system was proposed by RSM considering the largest loaded pack with about 26 workers, 10 pickups and 6 trucks. This combination is capable of carrying around 34836 tons of cargo at a cost of 596696000 Rials, which represents a high efficiency over actual values. Also, to predict load, the back propagation algorithm (BP) with 9 neurons in the hidden layer was selected as the best model with a predictive power of 99/19% in prediction of weight and 96/62% in cost prediction. Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that using the combination of two methods of surface response as a statistical method and artificial neural network as a mathematical method, we can find suitable results for evaluation and optimization of waste collection and transportation system.

        Background and Objective: Dams play an important role in development of countries by drinking and agricultural water supply, flood control, hydropower energy supply and recreational purposes. Constructing a dam and making an artificial lake has an important effect on surrounding environment, so being able to forecast the inflow to the dam is an important issue for water resource management. Method: In this study artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to forecast the monthly inflow from Soofichai River to Alavian Dam. Regarding the huge amount of input data to ANN model and for optimizing its application, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) was used in order to determine the best inputs for ANN model . Finally, the application of ANN and POD-ANN models was evaluated by determination coefficient (R2), mean absolute error (MAE) and average of absolute relative error (AARE). Findings: Results of ANN and POD-ANN models indicated that although ANN output is close to the observed values of inflow to the dam, but it has significant errors. POD-ANN model showed better results than ANN model for high values of inflow. In generall, comparing R2, MAE and AARE values of two models revealed that POD-ANN model had better performance in both calibration and verification steps in comparison with ANN model. R2, MAE and AARE in verification step of POD-ANN model were 0.93, 0.79, and 0.54, respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Preprocessing data contributes to better performance of  POD-ANN than ANN model, especially in high values of inflow. Therefore, it can be concluded that applying data preprocessing and reducing inputs to ANN model enhances its performance. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: The limitation of fresh water resources in the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran, has inevitably led to the reuse of urban wastewater. One of the most important indicators of sewage pollution and comparison with different standards for reuse or discharge to the water resources is TSS. The present study was conducted in 2016 with the aim of estimation of effluent TSS of Ahvaz wastewater treatment plant using inelegant models. Material and methods: Regard to costly and time-consuming measurement tests of TSS, the capability of multivariate linear regression model, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was studied to estimate (TSS) in wastewater treatment plant output by MATLAB and SPSS 21 software. Accordingly, various compounds of sewage quality parameters were evaluated during the 8-year statistical period (2008-2015) as input of models in two daily and monthly modes. Results: The results of the regression model indicated that the maximum R2 for training and verification were 0.75 and 0.67 in daily and 0.68 and 0.66 in monthly period, respectively. The root mean square error (RMSE) in this test was 0.033 and 0.025 in the daily period and 0.053 and 0.053 in the monthly period. The maximum R2 in ANN for training and verification were 0.87 and 0.79 in daily and 0.87 and 0.85 in monthly period, respectively. The RMSE in this test was 0.030 and 0.023 in the daily period and 0.034 and 0.031 in the monthly period. Meanwhile, the maximum R2 in ANFIS for training and verification were 0.91 and 0.83 in daily and 0.89 and 0.87 for monthly period, respectively. The RMSE in this test was 0.026 and 0.025 in the daily period and 0.031 and 0.028 in the monthly period. Conclusion: The results confirmed the application of three models is appropriate, but the ANFIS was considered as a more appropriate model. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: In recent years, applications of carbon-based nanomaterials have been developed in various fields such as water and wastewater industry. One of these compounds is graphene oxide (GO), which has attracted a lot of attention due to its high specific surface two-dimensional structure and various surface groups. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the coagulation properties of graphene oxide in removing turbidity from water and modeling the process using artificial neural network (ANN).Material and Methodology: The samples were prepared by using garden soil and tap water and the GO was purchased in the form of suspension. Jar tests were performed to assess the influence of pH, GO dosage, initial turbidity, settling time and other parameters on the turbidity removal efficiency. In order to simulate the process, Perceptron neural network was used.Findings: Under acidic pH conditions and with increasing the GO dosage from 2.5 mg/L to 40 mg/L, the removal efficiency increased considerably. However, the initial turbidity did not show a clear effect on the process performance. Much of the turbidity removal occurred within the first 10 minutes of the settling time and the flocs’ exhibited higher settling rates at higher GO dosages and acidic pH condition. According to the results obtained from the created ANN model, the coefficient of determination (R2) and the correlation coefficient (R) between the observed and predicted values of the test data were 0.9492 and 0.974, respectively, which reveal the model’s high capability in predicting the process results.Discussion and Conclusion: GO showed high capability in turbidity removal from water. The pH and GO dosage were recognized as the process controller parameters. The ANN data mining model showed good performance in predicting process efficiency.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Estimating the amount of sediment by the river is one of the topics that has been considered by many researchers since the past. Reduction of the dam reservoir capacity because of sediments has different effects on different sections and causes adverse effects on the water rights that were initially agreed upon, which will impose several economic and specific consequences. This study aims to model and estimate the amount of suspended sediment using existing experimental equations and new methods called black box. Material and Methodology: The discharge (volumetric flow rate) related to Zayandehrud River in Eskandari station, one of the hydrological measuring stations, has been used to estimate the amount of sediment. For this purpose, water discharge and sediment rate are used as input and output, respectively. Findings: According to the obtained results, it is concluded that the RBF network has better performance due to less error in the test stage, but the MLP network seems to have a better performance considering other parameters and the error in the TRAIN stage. Discussion and Conclusion: Finally, after modeling by using neural networks, the Einstein relationship, and the sediment measurement curve, it is inferred that neural networks are more accurate to estimate the amount of sediment.

        Background and Objective: Due to the high spatial resolution of Geoeye data, due to the wider distribution of pixels, the output maps in Neural network algorithm and Forest cover index (FCD) classification methods are more sensitive and with more pixel detail. Considering the large amount of information in new sensors, the aim of this study is to develop and improve the performance of more complex classification algorithms for the interpretation of modern satellite data. Material and Methodology: FCD model base classification is based on four main indicators: sensitive to shadow, uncovered soil, vegetation conditions and density, and without the need for a training sample. The Neural network algorithm operates with high sensitivity to the original image bands and the bands created and added to the image, as well as training samples. Training samples were determined in the summer of 2016-2017 from series 5 and 6 of 30 Ramsar watersheds. Finding: Using this method, an accuracy of 24.5% was obtained for the FCD method and 26.2% for the Neural network method. Due to the high resolution of the data used, the output map developed in this method is associated with a high density of polygons. Discussion & Conclusion:  Due to the range of pixels in the output maps of the two methods, an extended method has been proposed to produce a more accurate map, due to the high spatial resolution of the Geoeye sensor. In this method, by reclassifying within the maximum frequency range of pixels, the demarcation of polygons in much smaller and more accurate dimensions is considerable. Manuscript profile

        In this study we applied artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the concentration of air pollutant in Tehran urban air. Because of dangers of air pollution in Tehran city witch causes environmental problems and various respiratory and dermatological diseases and troubles especially in children and aged people. This research was set in order to schedule and control this problem in Tehran and other great cities. Statistical data for this purpose were picked up from the concentration of pollutant gases recorded by fixed sensors in Bazar station from 2002 till 2007 (NOX gas). Auto regressive model and time series were used to determine neural network inputs. Current time gas concentration in this model depends on gas concentration of all 7 past days. Therefore, neural network input was concentration of the gas in all 7 past days and neural network output which was the prediction of neural network and the concentration of the gas in current time. Then the model of ANN is deigned by using of MATLAB 7 software and data simulating. Eventually, simulated data has plotted versus real data and it depicted that there is a good result compared with simulated data from ANN.

        Background and Objective: In this study, The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type neural networks whit genetic algorithm was applied to estimate the methane fraction in landfill gas originating from Lab-scale landfill bioreactors. In this study, to predict the methane fraction in landfill gas as a final product of anaerobic digestion, we used input parameters such as pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand, NH4+-N and waste temperature. Method: To this Purpose, two different systems were applied for neural network’s data obtained. In system I (C1), the leachate generated from a fresh-waste reactor was drained to recirculation tank, and recycled every two days. In System II (C2), the leachate generated from a fresh waste landfill reactor was fed through a well-decomposed refuse landfill reactor, and at the same time, the leachate generated from a well-decomposed refuse landfill reactor recycled to a fresh waste landfill reactor. leachate and landfill gas components were monitored for 132 days. Findings: The study results indicate that GMDH is able to predict the methane fraction in landfill gas. The correlation between the observed and predicted values for the training data is 0.98 and for the testing data, it is 0.99. Discussion and Conclusion:  The proposed method can significantly predict the methane fraction in landfill gas originating and, consequently, GMDH can be use to optimize the dimensions of a plant using biogas for energy (i.e. heat and/or electricity) recovery and monitoring system.

        Background and Purpose: Simulation and evaluation of sediment are important issues in water resources management. Common methods for measuring sediment concentration are generally time consuming and costly and sometimes does not have enough accuracy.  Materials and Methods: In this research, we have tried to evaluate sediment amounts, using bayesian neural network for Simineh-Rood, West Azerbaijan, Iran, and compare it with common artificial neural networks. Monthly river discharge, temperature and total dissolved solids for time period (1354-1383) was used as input and sediment discharge for output. Criteria of correlation coefficient, root mean square error and Nash Sutcliff bias coefficient were used to evaluate and compare the performance of models. Results: The results showed that three models smart estimate sediment discharge with acceptable accuracy, but in terms of accuracy, the bayesian neural network model had the highest correlation coefficient (0.832), minimum root mean square error (0.071ton/day) and the Nash Sutcliff (0.692) and the bias (0.0001) and hence was chosen the prior in the verification stage. Discussion and conclusions: Finally, the results showed that the bayesian neural network has great capability in estimating minimum and maximum sediment discharge values. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Having information about qualitative and quantitative parameters distribution of groundwater supplies is one of most important parameters in integrated groundwater management. Thus, in this study it has been attempted to determine a proper model and input combination for estimation of quality parameters including electrical conductivity (EC), calcium (Ca) and sodium (Na) ions in aquifers of Guilans plain. Method: In this study, the data from 132 observation wells during 2001 to 2013 were used and artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector model (SVM) were applied. In the first approach, estimations were conducted according to five different combinations, including water level, distance from see, total precipitation of six months and coordinates of observation wells. In the second approach, estimations were conducted based on combination of the selected qualitative parameters of gamma test with combinations of the best input in the first part. Findings: Comparison of the results from the first part indicated that SVM model outperformed the ANN mode in the estimation of Ca, Na and EC parameters. Support vector machine error values for estimating Ca, Na and EC variables at the test period were 1.218 (meq/l), 0.867(meq/l), and 175.742 (µmos/cm), while for artificial neural network these values were 1.268 (meq/l), 0.933 (meq/l), and 186/448 (µmos/cm) respectively. The results from this part showed that adding the distance from see input improves the estimation of models in all cases. In the second part, using gamma test for measuring the nine quality parameters, the best combination of quality parameters was determined to estimate the three parameters: Ca, Na and EC. The results from the second part show that both ANN and SVM models have an excellent performance in the estimation of the three qualitative parameters. ANN model error values in estimating Ca, Na and EC variables in validation period were 0.662 (meq/l), 0.305(meq/l), and 47.346 (µmos/cm), while these values were 0.671 (meq/l), 0.356 (meq/l), and 55.412 (µmos/cm) for SVM model respectively.  Obviously, the results from ANN model in this section were better than those from SVM model. Discussion and Conclusion:Results showed that both ANN and SVM models have a great ability in predicting qualitative parameters in the aquifers. Also, in less inputs, the results of SVM model are better than those of ANN model and in more inputs it is vice versa. Results of the second section showed that gamma test is fully practical and accurate in determining the effective input combinations. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Images classification is one of the important techniques for interpretation of satellite images that is widely used in survey of earth changes. In the meantime, satellite data has been recognized as the best tool for detection and evaluation of changes due to its update information, low costs and variety of forms. Therefore, land use/land cover map is one of the most important information required by the environmental managers and planners. On the other hand, in recent years, artificial neural network method has been used widely for the classification of satellite data. The aim of this study is to compare three different methods for land cover classification using 2014 OLI image over a 26-year period. Method: In this study, digital data of OLI (2014) sensor was used in order to optimize image classification method. Initially, the image was corrected in terms of geometry and radiometry in the ENVI software. Then IDRISI software was used for image classification using three different methods: fuzzy artmap, multilayer perceptron artificial neural networks and support vector machine. Finally, land cover maps were classified into five categories: water, vegetation, canebrake, barren lands and saline lands. To evaluate accuracy with the help of user accuracy, producer accuracy, overall accuracy, kappa coefficient and error matrix, the created map was compared with the ground reality map created by GPS, Google Earth images and field observations. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of image accuracy evaluation showed that among the applied methods the fuzzy artmap algorithm had the highest accuracy in classification of satellite data with an overall accuracy of 94.68 and kappa coefficient of 0.91 compared to both multilayer perceptron artificial algorithm with an overall accuracy of 92.99 and kappa coefficient of 0.89 and support vector machine with an overall accuracy of 90.93 and kappa coefficient of 0.85. This study showed that classification of fuzzy artmap artificial neural network algorithm has a high capability to create the land cover map with high accuracy. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Land cover changes are among the most important alterations of the Earth’s land surface which affect the environment and environmental processes. Material and Methods: In this study, aerial photos from 1956 and 1972, Landsat TM and IRS-P6 LISS-III images obtained in 1980 and 2006 as well as the post-classification method were used to detect land cover changes and to evaluate Arak and its periphery during 1956-2006. At first, geometric correction was done to prepare aerial photos and satellite images. For this purpose, topographic maps at scales of 1:50000 and 1:25000 and nearest neighbor method and resampling method were applied. Root mean square error for all aerial photos and satellite images was less than one pixel. Afterwards, all georefrenced photos were mosaicked and land cover maps with 4 classes (urban areas, vegetated areas, barren lands, and rocks) were generated using visual interpretation of aerial photos. Following satellite images geometric correction, topographic correction was applied to images using DEM and Lambert model. In the next step, thye artificial neural networks classification method was implemented after producing false color composite images and image fusion. Results: Land cover maps in four classes were generated with overall accuracy of over 90%. To detect the land cover changes during 4 periods between 1956 and 2006, land cover maps of 1956, 1972, 1990 and 2006 were compared, and change maps and Tables were made. The results showed significant urban expansion, vegetated and barren lands losses and stability in rocks and mountainous areas during 1956-2006. Manuscript profile

        The present study, using machine learning and polling techniques, attempts to examine the automated strategic model in order to classify and explore the ideas presented about specific services that have been studied in this area in the field of investment. Provide results in digital marketing services. The neural network-based model, by identifying related opinions, measures different characteristics at different levels of evaluation and automatically categorizes opinions depending on the quality of the presentation. Financial crises in the banking system are usually due to the inability to manage financial risks and liquidity, which is a factor in the lack of transparency and ability to manage capital. Thus, the existence of such uncertainties has reduced the interest of investors in industrial and executive partnerships. This article has been established with the aim of identifying the factors affecting liquidity risk and also providing an intelligent model for predicting and classifying liquidity risk factors, identifying and prioritizing the factors involved. For this purpose, the method of intelligent measurement using perceptron neural network (MLP) has been used, which is considered as a practical approach to artificial intelligence. For this purpose, the necessary studies on financial information and liquidity in Bank Mellat branches in Tehran (consisting of 36 branches) have been considered and for the sample population, a random cluster set of 374 selected customers and investors has been used.

        Today, profit rates and the possibility of managing and manipulating the profits are clear to all, and researchers have always sought solutions to remove the uncertainties facing investors and stakeholders when making their financial decisions. To clarify users' decision path of financial data users, Beneish (1999) has developed a profit-management predicting model that has yielded different results in different societies. Thus, this article aims to optimize and localize Beneish’s model by adding the Tunneling variable to Beneish’s variable and using a modern neural network and particle swarm algorithms. The statistical research population consisted of 196 companies listed at the Tehran Stocks Exchange from 2014 to 2019. The research method was a descriptive-library method in which the variables are interrelated through the causal-correlational method. From an objective point of view, it is an Ex-Post Facto research design. To analyze the data, the regression method and artificial neural and the PSO algorithms were used. The model analysis results suggested that all financial ratios had significant effects on Beneish’s profit management, as the Tunneling phenomenon and the financial leverage had the highest and lowest effects on predicting Beneish’s profit management, respectively.

        In emerging markets such as Tehran Stock Market, there is a gap between signals of changing the trend and the beginning of the movements which we can make profit by using a well-designed Algorithmic Trading System. Proposing a high-frequency trading system has advantages (taking advantage of intraday stock market volatility) and disadvantages (high amounts of transaction cost due to the high transaction volume) thus we can augment advantages and cotrol the disadvantages by designing the system elaborately. In this research, the “Local Traders” approach for predicting the future trend of stock has been utilized. According to the “Local Traders” approach, there is a local trader (an agent) for each stock which is expert on it. It predicts the future trend of its own stock based on stock’s intraday data and their technical indicators by determining how much it is good to buy, sell or hold. Results show that, the proposed model outperforms the Buy and Hold strategy in all kinds of markets (Normal, Ascending, Descending) even if there is no discount on Transaction Costs.

        This paper intends to present an integrated method to fulfill active portfolio management approach that is based on predicted prices of each six- chosen stock in a four-year time period. First of all Markowitz model is implemented to achieve weight of each stock in each year of four year period. Then, twenty two technical indicators as the features of each stock were are regarded as the input data of genetic algorithm (GA) known as a feature selection technique. Two well-performed forecasting methods called k-nearest neighborhood (kNN) and artificial neural network (ANN) are integrated with GA to extract predicted prices of each stock in defined time period. According to predicted price resulted by GA-NN and GA-kNN, a trading strategy is proposed that has an input signal () which imply to buy, sell and do nothing respectively. Returns of created portfolios were compared with the return of buy and hold strategy as the representative of passive portfolio management approach. The portfolio resulted by GA-NN outperformed two other portfolios for our given data. This conclusion emphasizes on superiority of employing active portfolio management to passive portfolio management in terms of tackling fund management issue for our given data. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays artificial neural networks have found a special position among these methods. this study seeks to find a better method of building and training artificial neural networks which leads to more accurate predictions of bankruptcy. Meanwhile, three neural networks of radial basis function type were built and trained separately by Altman model (1983), Zmijewski model (1984) and combinatory models’ variables. After evaluating the ability of these three models of bankruptcy prediction, their accuracy has been compared. Generally, this study is based on these hypotheses: First, artificial neural network models can predict bankruptcy using Altman, Zmijewski, and combinatory variables. Second, Type I and Type II error rates are equal in the aforementioned artificial neural network models. Time span of 2004 to 2012 (eight years) has been used to select samples from the listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange. Results show that all three models have the ability of predicting bankruptcy and the model trained with Altman Model’s variables is more accurate than the other two models in this regard.

        The topic dividend policy is one of the most leading issues in modern corporate finance affecting the firm value. The results of linear methods and regression could not satisfy researchers in forecasting of financial issues such as dividend policy. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of the forecasting accuracy of univariate and multivariate Artificial Neural Network using a sample of 183 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange through for the years 2011_2015. This study shows that the application of the multivariate neural network model results in forecasts that are more accurate than Univariate neural network forecasting models. Our findings show that forecast of a multivariate ANN incorporating Marsh and Merton (1987) variables is more accurate than univariate ANNs. Therefore, based on the results of the study we suggest that shareholders, investors and other stakeholders use multivariate ANNs to predict dividend policy of companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange.   Manuscript profile

        In economic studies of industrial and mine projects and estimation of their net present value (NPV) there are many factors as uncertain variables related to the future. Therefore, such studies should be carried out based on forecasting. To obtain reliable results in these situations, risk analyses methods under uncertainty are used. One of these uncertainty methods is to employ models to be simulated. In these models, some factors as random variables will be studied for the future. Future prediction of each random variable is assessed considering a probability distribution function. The aim of this research work is economic evaluation of Koohzar gold mine in Torbate-Heydariyeh, Iran for a seven years period using simulation and its application in risk and decision management, and estimating its NPV by applying General Regression Neural Network artificial intelligence method. For this purpose, first, probability distributions of the variables were obtained using information from the variables in previous years. Next, distribution functions of uncertain variables are replaced in appropriate cells of discounted cash flow (DCF) table. Then, random sampling was taken from the probability distributions of uncertain variables as an input of cash flow analysis. In the next stage, based on the simulation technique, probability distribution for NPV variations was obtained as the output in the form of graphs and a function. Considering the output, all of the NPV variations can be forecasted. Then, a general regression neural network was designed using simulated results for NPV prediction using input variables. The results show high reliable capability of general regression neural network in prediction of NPV.  Manuscript profile

        Being informed of capital market’s companies financial situation is one of the shareholders and economic analysts’ perturbation. Thus, financial market analysts and researchers were looking for methods to predict capital market’s company’s future conditions. This research is finding a model to predict bankruptcy of stock exchanges market’s companies with using the artificial neural network. In this research we used Zemijewski financial ratios with one macro – economic variable to predict companies’ bankruptcy. Population of study was selected from the accepted companies in Iran’s stock and exchanges organization. Financial ratios have been extracted from companies’ financial statement in a five years’ period between 2010 and 2014, finally we choose 84 companies that divided to salubrious and bankrupt equal number in each. We used multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with back propagation algorithm to create predictor model and data analysis. The network has been trained once with financial ratios and again with additional macro – economic variable to confirm that the accuracy of network model will increase by additional macro – economic variable. Ultimately the designed model in total mode has 92.95 percent of accuracy and 85 percent correct prediction of bankrupted companies for one year earlier of bankruptcy.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: One of the obstacles to develop sustainable is the poor quality of water. The assessment of water quality is usually based on chemical decomposition and measurement of chemical parameters of water. Measuring these parameters in big area is costly and time-consuming, as result it required to estimating methods for prediction of those parameters. The purpose of this study is to model the groundwater quality parameters of Zeydoon plain using ANN+PSO and geostatistics models. Methods: For this purpose, the information of 42 observation wells in Zeidoon plain on a monthly basis for 7 years has been used. Neural network model inputs including qualitative parameters SO42- ، pH ، HCO32-،  Na+، Mg2+، Ca2+، TDS، SAR and EC were considered. Findings: The results of simulation of groundwater quality parameters using ANN + PSO model showed that in SAR simulator model the highest simulation accuracy is related to the model with sigmoid logarithm function, in EC simulator model the highest accuracy is similar. The construction is related to the model with the stimulus function of the sigmoid tangent. Also, in the TDS simulator model, the highest simulation accuracy of the model with the sigmoid tangent stimulus function was obtained. As RMSE and MAE have the lowest value and R2 index has the highest value. The results of simulation of groundwater quality parameters using the geostatistical model showed that the highest accuracy of the kriging model in the simulation is related to EC, SAR and TDS parameters, respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Finally, comparing the results of comparing the results of ANN + PSO model and Kriging model showed that ANN + PSO model is more accurate in simulating groundwater quality parameters of Zidon plain than Kriging model. Also, the results of this research showed that the combination of intelligent models with optimization algorithms with correct architecture and complete model inputs are used as a useful tool for simulating groundwater quality parameters.

        In an attempt to examine the quality of ground water in Tehran with respect to the consumption pattern in the last ten years for 71 examination point, three distinct neural networks of different Electrical Conductivity (EC),   input and output parameters were set out . It is observed that, in order to forecast with a great deal of trial and error, the tangent algorithms with the momentum-training algorithm turns out to be less error. As the number of the input parameters is reduced and the training algorithm is fixed with momentum and the stimulating algorithm gives way to the tangent algorithm, error falls off.  Finally, three model with one hidden layer, the momentum training algorithms and the stimulating tangent was constructed. The  maximum error occurring implies the maximum determination coefficient of 0.986 that its connected to models 1 and 3. Moreover, in line with the neural network laid out in one layer, the minimum normal root mean square error (NRMSE) is supposed to run out at 0.110 in models 1 and 3. According to lesser input parameter of model number 2 and very close approximation to this two models (1and 3) with maximum determination coefficient of 0.96 and the minimum normal root mean square error (NRMSE) 0.176 can be a very close approximation and can decrease inputs parameters and experience for Measurement of input parameters and the estimate is supposed to be excellently acceptable. As regards the effect of the parameters on the forecast made, the neural network involves the predominance of the two sulphate and chloride ions over the sodium parameter. Manuscript profile

        Dust is one of the phenomena of destructive climate in the western provinces that causes great damage to the environment and many factors are involved in creating this problem. The aim of this study is to predict the phenomenon of dust in Ahvaz city. In this study, Ahvaz synoptic data during the years (2000-2010) have been used. These data include mean dew point (in degrees Celsius), mean wind speed in knots, relative humidity in terms of average percentage and average monthly rainfall as input, and data on dusty days as target. Networks were introduced. Then, using causal modeling, the relationships between the variables are extracted and finally, the model is tested by neural network and stepwise regression model. The results confirm the ability of more than 74% of the model used to predict the dust phenomenon in Ahvaz. The regression rate of dust data in a linear combination with the variables entered in the equation is equal to 0.651. Also, the resulting coefficient of determination is equal to 0.424 and the modified coefficient of determination is equal to 0.410; That is, in fact, about 41% of the variance of the dust variable is explained and justified through independent variables.   Manuscript profile

        Due to the many applications of DC to DC converters in electronics, regulating their output voltage is very important. In many applications it is necessary to change the DC voltage from one level to another. DC -DC converters are used for this purpose. The conversion of DC voltage from one level to another is done by switching elements such as transistors and diodes. Recently, the control of these converters has found a special place in scientific texts. Therefore, one of the objectives of this paper is to control and regulate the output voltage of the converter. The controller proposed in this paper to control the DC voltage level of the converter output is an optimized neural network controller with an algorithm based on colonial competition. The proposed controller function is that first the neural network is designed according to the expected goals of the system and then it is optimized by determining a suitable multi-objective benchmark function using the network structure optimization algorithm. This improves the performance of the control system. Because the proper selection of design parameters has a great role in the performance of the neural network that plays the role of controller. The proposed neural network function is to apply the appropriate signal transducer (PWM signal) to the switching elements in order to increase the performance. The results compared to the PID controller indicate the superiority of the proposed method. Manuscript profile

        MRI is one of the most useful imaging techniques today. Abdominal MRI imaging is widely used in medical diagnoses such as tumors, tissue diagnostics, etc. Therefore, fast and appropriate segmentation algorithms play an important role in diagnosing diseases, classifying and quantifying tissue, isolating different elements and diagnosing tumors. In this paper, an automatic spleen separation system from abdominal MRI images is presented, which includes two stages of preprocessing and spleen separation algorithm. Pre-processing is used to de-noise and improve image quality. Isolation of the spleen consists of three stages of segmentation using watershed conversion, calculation of features, and the final step of comparing these features with reference values. Any element whose properties are closer to the reference properties is labeled as a spleen. A forward neural network was used to obtain the reference values, which are the same as the shape of the spleen.  The results of the spleen output obtained are compared with the spleen output extracted by a specialist, and the percentage difference between the two outputs is considered as an error.

For this purpose, the use of artificial intelligence systems in predicting and diagnosing breast cancer, which is one of the most common cancers among women, is being considered. In this study, the process of diagnosis of breast cancer is done by using multistage weights in the MLP neural network in two layers. In the first layer, the three classifiers are trained simultaneously on the learning set data. Upon completion of the training, the output of the classifier of the first layer is accumulated together with the learning set data in the new sets. This set is given as an input to the second layer superconductor, and the supra-class mapping maps between the outputs of each of the ordinary classifiers of the first layer with the actual output classes. The three-layer structure of the first layer, as well as the second-layer supraclavicle, is a MLP neural network that optimizes the weights, effective properties and the size of the hidden layer simultaneously using an innovative genetic algorithm. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed model, the Wisconsin database is used, which was created by the FNA test. Experiment results on the WBCD dataset the accuracy is 98.72% for the proposed method, which is relative to GAANN, CAFS algorithms provide better performance. Manuscript profile

        In this research, artificial neural network, maximum likelihood and minimum distance classification methods for analysis of land use changes, during 1989 to 2015, were evaluated and compared images from three Landsat satellite sensors in Sari. After geometric and atmospheric corrections, images of 1989, 2002, and 2015 were categorized under three artificial neural network algorithms, maximum likelihood and minimum distance in five land use classes. After assessing the accuracy of the methods, the Kappa coefficients were calculated for maximum likelihood, artificial neural network and minimum distance of 1989 were 92%, 87% and 65% in 2002, were 89%, 87% and 60%, and in 2015 were 91% %, 90% and 73%, respectively. These coefficients indicate the superiority of the maximum likelihood method in comparison with the other two methods in 1989. Also, the results of land use change over the whole period of the survey (from 1989 to 2015), showed that the areas of residential and irrigated lands were increased by 3615 and 575 hectares, but bare lands, gardens and forests were decreased to 1791, 1127 and 1272 hectares, respectively. According to the results, the two methods of maximum likelihood and neural network were more suitable for land use classification. The maximum likelihood method was better than the neural network method with a difference of 5% in 1989 and 2% in 2002 and 1% in 2015 in the Kappa coefficient. Manuscript profile

        Predicting the potential distribution of plants in response to climate change is essential for their conservation and management. Amygdalus scoparia is a wild almond species native to Iran Therefore, this study aimed at predicting the effect of climate change on the geographical distribution of A. scoparia in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province in the central Zagros region. In this regard, we used 5 modeling approaches, Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Classification Tree Analysis (CTA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Generalized Boosting Method (GBM) and Random Forest (RF) to determine relationships between the occurrence of species and environmental factors under the ensemble framework by using Biomod and R software. The results showed that AUC values greater than 0.9 and functioning of all models been excellent. The mean temperature of the driest quarter and Annual precipitation had the most important role for habitat suitability of this species and (85%) changes in A. scoparia distribution was justified. The results of the model showed that 9%, (148680 ha) of in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province for the A. scoparia have had high habitat suitability. Area of suitable habitat was calculated by ArcGIS software on current and future climate conditions. Under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 climate scenario A. scoparia might lose (Respectively 43% and 59%) of its climatically suitable habitats due to climate change factors, by 2050, while in a number of areas (135% and 140%), the current unsuitable habitats may be converted to suitable. The results of this study can be used in planning, conservation and rehabilitation of A. scoparia. Manuscript profile

        Study spectral reflectance through spectral indices allows the optimal use of the wide range of spectral wavelengths in hyperspectral data. The purpose of this study was to introduce and evaluate the performance of spectral indices to discriminate dominant orchard species in Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province. In this study, 150 spectral curves were measured in the range of 350 to 2500 mm, from grapes, walnuts and almond trees. After the initial correction, 30 of the most important spectral indices were extracted. Analysis of variance and comparisons of meanings was applied to identify the optimal indices for species discrimination at a 99% confidence level. Then, an artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) approaches were used to evaluate the performance of indices in species discrimination. ANOVA results indicated that the Moisture Stress Index (MSI), Band ratio at 1,200 nm, normalized phaepophytiniz index (NPQI) and cellulose absorption index (CAI) indices are optimal for discrimination of the studied species. The performance evaluation of the introduced indicators in some of the ANN and SVM enhancement structures has been associated with 100% accuracy in both education and testing, which shows the effectiveness of these studies in distinguishing orchard species. The performance evaluation of the introduced indicators has been validated at 100% in both training and testing stages. This result emphasizes the necessity of performing spectroscopic studies to separate the orchard species before analyzing the hyperspectral images due to their large data volume, high cost and huge data analysis.

        Drought is one of the most important natural disasters with devastating and harmful effects in various economic, social, and environmental fields. Due to the repetitive behavior of this phenomenon, if the appropriate solutions are not implemented, its destructive effects can remain in the region for years after its occurrence. Most natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and landslides in the short term, can cause severe financial and human damage to society, but droughts are slow-moving and creepy in nature, and their devastating effects appear gradually and over a longer period of time. Therefore, by modeling drought, it is possible to provide plans for drought preparation and reduce the damage caused by it. In this study, computational intelligence algorithms of Multi-Layer Perceptron neural network, Generalized Regression Neural Network, Support Vector Regression with support kernel, and Support Vector regression with the proposed kernel (Support Vector) Regression New kernel has been used to model the drought using the Standardized Precipitation Index. The modeling results, in most cases, showed better performance of the proposed SVR_N model than other models. The values of RMSE and R2 were 0.093 and 0.991, respectively, and the GRNN, MLP, and SVR models performed better in modeling after SVR_N, respectively. Modeling of drought phenomenon in modeling is supported by vector regression method. Manuscript profile

        The areas of natural resources and vegetation in the Taft and Mehriz townships in recent decades have undergone changes due to its close proximity to the capital of Yazd province. The purpose of this study is to assess the extent and direction and prediction of land and vegetation changes in these two cities. In this study, Landsat 5 (1998, 2004 and 2008) and Landsat 8 (2017) satellite images in the period from May to June was used. Modeling land use/land cover changes were carried out based on supervised classification. The process of changes was analyzed using land change modeling and perceptron neural network method. The results showed that 3% (558.8 ha) of land and vegetation cover of Taft to Bayer and 1.3% (209.9 ha) were added to the urban lands and reduced from the lands of gardens by 4.3% (559.2 ha), this is the highest rating. The amount of 2.8% (678.8 ha) of land and vegetation in Mehriz Bayer and 1.7% (184 ha) has been changed to urban residential land. In terms of urban expansion, Mehriz has had the highest amount of reducing vegetation. The results show that land use and land cover changes in Taft city where more than Mehriz city so that most of these changes were related to gardens, but in terms of area of land use and land use conversion in Mehriz city has the highest value More intense.

        Considering the progress made in remote sensing technology, collecting information on the quality of surface water resources by this technology, while reducing the cost and time of traditional sampling, can monitor all surface water zones. In this study, the Sentinel-2 satellite images were used to estimate the concentration of acidity, bicarbonate and sulfate parameters. Initially, Sentinel-2 satellite images were pre-processing and then bands and spectral indexes were determined to identify the significant relationship between the parameter values of water quality and images using the multivariate regression method. In the next stage, using Artificial neural network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models, the relationship between Sentinel-2 satellite images and water quality parameters were modeled and then their accuracy was calculated for real values. The results showed that in the modeling of sulfate parameter using Sentinel-2 satellite, ANFIS model with relative error equal to 0.0773 and RMSe equal to 0.8014 has a higher accuracy compared to ANN models with relative error equal to 0.1581 and RMSe equal to 1.2477. While, the relative error of the results of the ANN model are obtained 0.0064 and 0.0556 for acidity and bicarbonate parameter, respectively, and RMSe is equal to 0.0702 and 0.2691, respectively.  The ANFIS model has a relative error of 0.0165 and 0.0722, and RMSe is 0.1975 and 0.3037 for acidity and bicarbonate parameter, respectively. Finally, using satellite images, the mentioned models were applied to prepare a qualitative map of each parameter along the part of the Karun river. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective The expansion of urbanization has increased the scale and intensity of thermal islands in cities. Investigating how cities are affected by these thermal islands plays an important role in the future planning of cities. For this purpose, this study examines and predicts the effect of land cover (LC) changes in the three classes of LC including urban areas, barren lands, and vegetation on land surface temperature (LST) in the city of Yazd during the last 30 years using Landsat 5 and 8 images. This study also examines the effect of the ratio of proximity to the barren land and vegetation classes during this period to examine how the recorded LST is affected by the mentioned ratio.Materials and Methods The LC maps of Yazd city were extracted using a supervised Artificial Neural Network classifier for 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. Terrestrial data, google earth, and ground truth maps were used to derive training data. The LST of Yazd was obtained from the thermal band of Landsat 5 and Landsat 8. After that, the LST was classified into six available classes, including 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, and 41-46°C which has shown that the four last classes play an important role in LST changes in Yazd city during last 30 years. To evaluate the effects of the proximity of barren land and vegetation LC classes on the LST recorded by the sensor, firstly the proximity ratio was calculated in 5×5 kernels for all image pixels. Then the mean of LST was derived based on this ratio of barren and vegetation lands.Results and Discussion The results of this study showed that in Yazd city, from 1990 to 2020, the area of the urban area has grown 91.5 % (33.6 km2) over the last 30 years. Barren and vegetation land, have negative growth in the area over the same period. From 1990 to 2020, barren lands in Yazd experienced a growth -79.4% (21.3 km2), which the sharp growth of urban areas justifies this negative growth in barren lands. Vegetation classes in Yazd from 1990 to 2020, have experienced a growth -68.5% (12.2 km2). The average ground temperature of this city has been constantly increasing during these 30 years. By 2020, the city of Yazd, reaching an average of 38.1°C compared to 29.2°C in 1990, has experienced a 30.4% increase in its average LST. The temperature classes of this city have also moved towards warmer temperature classes in these 30 years. As the main part of the LST area of Yazd, in 1990, in the first place, the class of 26-30 °C with 47 km2 and at the second place the class of 31-35 °C with 26.4 km2 are classified. In 2000, in a reverse trend, the main LST class was 31-35°C with 52.8 km2 as the first place and the 26-30°C class with 20 km2 as the second place. With an increased class, the LST class of 36-40 °C for both 2010 and 2020 with 40.2 and 63 km2 respectively has been recorded as the largest LST class. The LST class of 31-35 °C has been recorded as the second LST class of both years with 33.2 and 9.7 km2, respectively. The difference between these two years is in the growth -70.7% (23.5 km2) of the class area of 31-35°C and the increase of 10.3% (0.8 km2) of the hottest class of the statistical period, 41-46°C, in 2020, compared to 2010. The results of this study also showed that the highest average temperature in all year was recorded for barren lands at 37.3°C. Also, a positive correlation (mean correlation 0.95) was shown between the proximity to barren land cover and the mean LST. However, the sharp upward trend of urban areas in the whole statistical period (91.5% with 33.6 km2) as the second class with the highest average LST after the barren lands with an average of 34.1 °C versus a downward trend of 79.4% (21.3 km2) of barren lands has increased the average LST over a statistical period of 30 years. It is because the decrease of 68.5% (12.2 km2) of vegetation areas as an LC class with the lowest average LST (32.2°C) in the same period, neutralized the effect of decreasing barren lands and intensified the trend of increasing the LST. Meanwhile, a negative correlation (mean correlation -0.97) was established between the ratio of proximity to vegetation and the average LST. The results of forecasting land cover changes in 2030 in the city of Yazd indicate that in a process similar to previous periods, the class of urban areas will increase. This growth will not be significant compared to 2020, with 1.6% (1.1 km2). However, a significant decrease in green areas (vegetation) by -19.6% (1.1 km2) in the same period, along with a slight decrease in barren lands -1.8% (0.1 km2) will cause the earth’s surface to become warmer, and the area of LST classes will be increased by the year. Accordingly, the main area of the LST class in 2030 for the city of Yazd, as in 2020, is forecasted 36-40°C with 58.2 km2 (-7.6% growth compared to 2020). But the dramatic growth of the hottest class of LST over the statistical period (41-46°C) with 166.3% (14.3 km2) growth as the second major class of LST in this year (2030), as well as the negative and dramatic growth of the relatively cooler class 31-35°C with -97.9 % (9.5 km2) in this year indicates the warmer ground surface temperature in 2030.Conclusion The results of this study indicate that in 30 years in Yazd city, the decrease in vegetation in the first place, along with the increase in urban areas in the second place, has caused an increase in LST. Thus, the vegetation class reduces the LST due to its cooling effect considering its water content. In this study, it was shown that by taking all factors into account, the reduction of barren lands will lead to a decrease in LST, and also increasing urban areas with a lower impact factor than barren lands will increase the LST. However, the decrease in the area of green lands (vegetation) in recent years, along with the sharp increase in the area of urban areas has caused an increase in LST. Increasing the proximity to vegetation by creating green areas by increasing the ratio of vegetation in the vicinity of different LC and also reducing the area of barren lands, can be a good solution to deal with the impact of urbanization in recent years on ground surface temperature.

        Background and ObjectiveSisangan forest park is one of the important habitats of Buxus Hyrcana in Iran. Unfortunately, the park has suffered from dieback in recent years, and many Box trees have been destroyed. Monitoring and management of this zone can be effective in controlling, protecting, and supporting it. However, due to the destruction of Box trees, on a large scale, it is not possible to accurately estimate the area using the available data. On the other hand, manual measurements are also very time-consuming and tedious. Therefore, a way must be found to do this process accurately and automatically. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have made this possible by using highly accurate sensors (spatial resolution). Another solution that can be used to automatically separate dieback trees from green trees is to use different classification methods. The aim of this study is to prove the ability of low-cost UAV data with conventional sensors to detect and zoning areas that have suffered Dieback. Since the cost of UAVs with multispectral sensors (red edge band and near infrared) is very high, it should be possible to reduce this cost. Since the cost of UAV with multispectral sensors (red-edge and near-infrared band) is very high, it should be possible to reduce this cost. Materials and Methods Sisangan Forest Park has located 30km to the east of Nowshahr County, Mazandaran province, at latitude 36º33′30″ to 36º35′30″ N, and longitude 51º47′ to 51º49′30″E. This park is both a tourist destination and many important plant species of the country grow in it. One of the most important of these species is the Buxus Hyrcana. But unfortunately, in recent years they have become snag due to pests and insect infestations. Multirotor UAVs have been used in this research. The camera installed on this device is capable of capturing 20 megapixel images. Imaging operations were performed on December 28, 2017, at 10:00 AM, which lasted 45 minutes. The study area was visited for field sampling and its different points were identified in terms of density of snags and preserved Buxus Hyrcana. Then, three circular pieces with a radius of 60 meters and an area of 1.13 hectares were designed in the zone and the density of snag stands and preserved Buxus Hyrcana stands were determined in these three samples. In each plot, 50 training points were recorded in the places where the Buxus Hyrcana stands were located and also 50 points were recorded in the places where the preserved Buxus Hyrcana stands, floor grass cover, and blackberry was located. In this study, in order to evaluate the accuracy of UAV images in identifying and classifying zones covered with Dieback, the smallest Dieback stands with the smallest canopy width were also recorded. Because UAV images require geometric corrections, they were first corrected geometrically and geographically. They were classified with ENVI software. According to the above explanations, 100 points were recorded in each sample plot, 75 of which were monitored for the classification process and 25 of which were used to evaluate the classification accuracy. Three monitored artificial neural network classification algorithms, maximum likelihood and minimum distance were used to classify these images. Finally, after performing each of the classification steps, a low-pass filter with a size of 3 by 3 pixels was used for smoothing the images. Kappa coefficients and overall accuracy indices were also used to evaluate the results. Results and Discussion In this number of sample plots, 579 stands were measured. Buxus Hyrcana was by far the most frequent in the zone. European hornbeam, Parrotia persica, and Oak were in the next ranks, respectively. The results showed that the artificial neural network algorithm had the best results compared to the other two algorithms. But the results of the artificial neural network also fluctuate according to the condition of the sample piece. This algorithm with an overall accuracy of 97.47% and a kappa coefficient of 0.94 had the best results in the separation and detection of the Buxus Hyrcana snags in the sample plot with the dominance of Buxus Hyrcana snags. After the artificial neural network algorithm, the maximum likelihood algorithm showed more favorable results in separating the Buxus Hyrcana snag stands. The minimum distance algorithm showed good results, but it was not as accurate as of the previous two algorithms. All three algorithms showed poorer results in separating the bases in the sample plot with the dominance of live bases in the sample than the other two sample plots. The sample piece with the predominance of live and green bases compared to the other two sample pieces has more phenomena and effects and in terms of image texture, there are many significant differences compared to the other two sample pieces. All three algorithms showed poorer results in separating the stands in the sample plot by dominance the preserved stands in the sample than the other two sample plots. The sample plot with the predominance of preserved stands compared to the other two sample plots has more phenomena and in terms of image texture compared to the other two sample plots has a lot of significant differences. In this sample plot, in addition to the presence of preserved and snag stands, grass cover and blackberry accessions can also be seen. In this study, the results of classification and detection of Buxus Hyrcana snags using an artificial neural network algorithm were much better than the maximum likelihood and minimum distance algorithms. One of the reasons for the better results of the artificial neural network algorithm is its nonlinearity and non-parametricity. But in classification by traditional algorithms such as statistical methods, they have lower accuracy because they have less flexibility. Parametric types of traditional methods, such as the maximum likelihood algorithm, due to depending on Gaussian statistics, if the data are not normal, cannot have the desired accuracy in classifying and separating classes from each other. In traditional algorithms such as maximum likelihood and minimum distance algorithms, training data play a vital role. In these methods, it is assumed that the distribution within the training samples should be normal so that if this condition cannot be met, the classification accuracy will be greatly reduced. While artificial neural network methods operate based on the characteristics and structure of the data itself. Conclusion The results of this study showed that using the data and ordinary images of a low-cost UAV, it is possible to study the condition of Dieback after the outbreak of the disease and determine its area. Despite the high cost of purchasing expensive sensors to monitor vegetation status, these methods presented in this article can be done at a much lower cost. This method can be of great help to the relevant institutions in determining the area of snag coatings. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective A drought crisis is a dry period of climate that can occur anywhere globally and with any climate. Although this crisis starts slowly, it can have a serious impact on health, agricultural products, the economy, energy, and the environment for a long time to come. Drought severely threatens human livelihood and health and increases the risk of various diseases. Therefore, modeling and predicting drought is one of the most important and serious issues in the scientific community. In the past, mathematical and statistical models such as simple regression, Auto-regression (AR), moving average (MA), and ARIMA were used to model the drought. In recent years, machine learning methods and computational intelligence to model and predict drought have been of great interest to scientists. Computational intelligence algorithms that have been previously considered by scientists to model drought include multilayer perceptron neural network, RBF neural network, support vector machine, fuzzy, and ANFIS methods. In this research, the purpose of modeling and predicting drought is by using three neural network algorithms, including multilayer perceptron, RBF neural network, and generalized regression neural. The drought index used in this research is the standardized precipitation index (SPI). In this research, the wavelet technique in combination with artificial neural network algorithms for modeling and predicting drought in 10 synoptic stations in Iran (Abadan, Babolsar, Bandar Abbas, Kerman, Mashhad, Rasht, Saqez, Tehran, Tabriz, and Zahedan) have been used in different climates and with suitable spatial distribution throughout Iran.Materials and Methods This study, initially using monthly precipitation data between 1961 and 2017, SPI drought index in time scales of 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 months through programming in soft environment MATLAB software implemented. The results of this step were validated using the available scientific software MDM and Drinc. Then, prediction models were designed using the Markov chain. In this study, a total of six computational intelligence models, including three single models of multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP), radial basis function neural network (RBF), and generalized regression neural network (GRNN), and three hybrids wavelet models with these three models (WMLP-WRBF-WGRNN) have been used to model and predict the SPI index in 10 stations of this research. In implementing all these six models, the MATLAB software programming environment has been used. In this study, four types of discrete wavelets were used, including Daubechies, Symlets, Coiflets, and Biorthogonal. Due to the better performance of the Dobbies wavelet, this type of wavelet was used as a final option in the research. In the Daubechies wavelet used between levels 1 to 45, level 3 showed the best performance among different SPI time scales; therefore, the Daubechies level 3 wavelet was used in all hybrid models of this study. After training all six algorithms used, the evaluation criteria of coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) was used to measure the difference between actual and estimated values.Results and Discussion The results of this study showed that computational intelligence methods have high accuracy in modeling and predicting the SPI drought index. In the first stage, the results showed that the individual MLP, RBF, and GRNN models, if properly trained, have close results in modeling and predicting the SPI drought index. In the next step, it was observed that the wavelet technique would improve the modeling results. In using the wavelet technique in combination with three single models MLP, RBF, and GRNN, the choice of wavelet type is also more effective in modeling, so in this research, the first of the four types of discrete wavelets Daubechies, Symlet, Qoiflet, and Biorthogonal in combination with Three single models of this research were used and the results of these four types of wavelets showed the relative superiority of the Daubechies wavelet over the other three wavelets. In using the Daubechies wavelet, since this wavelet has 45 times and the choice of order was also effective in modeling, it was observed by testing the wavelet 45 times that the 3rd wavelet, in general, has higher accuracy in all time scales of SPI index, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 months and also in all three algorithms MLP, RBF, and GRNN. Therefore, in this research, the third-order Daubechies wavelet was used in all three algorithms of this research, as well as in all time scales. The results showed that combining the wavelet technique with all three models MLP, RBF, and GRNN will improve the results. The research graphs showed that for the quarterly time scale, the values obtained from the single model prediction in MLP and RBF modeling have a somewhat one-month phase difference compared to the hybrid model, while in the GRNN model, this prediction difference is negligible. The modeling results for both single and hybrid modeling modes indicate that there is no phase difference between the single and hybrid modeling methods in time scales of 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48. For the 12- and 24-month time scales, the single GRNN model had more fluctuations and errors in SPI monthly modeling and forecasting, while the hybrid model in these two-time scales had much better behavior in monthly modeling and forecasting. Distribution diagrams of data related to observational SPI of Abadan station showed that the modeling results for single and hybrid modes in 3 and 6-month time scales are less accurate than other time scales and fit line separation, and its uncertainty is higher than others. However, in all neural network models and in all time scales, the hybrid method has shown more accuracy. The numerical results of the study indicate that in all SPIs and stations under study, the differential values of R2 are positive, which indicates higher values of R2 in the hybrid model than in single neural network modeling, which indicates an improvement in hybrid modeling compared to individual models. Also, the differential values of RMSE are negative in all studied models and stations, which indicates that the amount of RMSE in predicting hybrid models is lower than individual neural network models. In the research graphs, it can be seen that the amount of differences in RMSE and R2 indicates a greater difference in time scales 3 and 6 than the time scales 12, 18, 24, and 48, which somehow goes back to the nature of the data of these time scales. The most significant improvement in R2 and RMSE is from the 3-month low to the 48-month high, respectively.Conclusion From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that artificial neural network algorithms are efficient methods for modeling and predicting the SPI drought index. The use of wavelets in all three models of artificial neural networks will also improve the results. It can also be concluded that for better modeling of the SPI drought index, it is necessary to select the optimal wavelet type and order. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the wavelet technique has a greater impact on the lower time scales, i.e., 3 and 6 months, than the higher scales, i.e., 24 and 48 months.

        This study was carried out to determine the relative hazard zonation of the slope instabilities and landslide occurrence in Sepiddasht, Iran. The method of Artificial Neural Network with the multiple-layer percepteron structure and the back propagation learning algorithm were used. In order to study the stability of the slopes, the landslides of the region were initially identified and recorded using satellite images of TM and ETM+, aerial images of 1:50,000, and field surveys (year, 2014). The impact of each factor including slope, aspect, land use, elevation, lithology, precipitation, the distance from the fault road and drainage on the slope instabilities was estimated using the ArcGIS®10.1 software via combining the map of the factors influencing the landslide with the landslide distribution map. Then a proper structure (1-13-9) for the landslide hazard zonation of Sepiddasht region was obtained through training the artificial neural network by MATLAB software. Based on the results of the landslide hazard zonation, 0.18, 12.41, 14.09, 29.85, and 43.52 percent of the region were located in very low, low, medium, high, and very high risk classes respectively.

        The acquisition of knowledge about the vegetation plays an important role in soil management.  However, vegetation estimating in the usual way, including an overall assessment of the vegetation is  time consuming and does not also provide accurate enough information. Therefore, remote sensing technology is a desirable way for reducing time and cost compared to other usual methods. In this study, forest cover maps were prepared using remote sensing techniques and  LandSat ETM+ imagery of year 2000 and LandSat 8 of year 2013. The classification of the study area digital images was performed  to prepare  land use map classification using maximum likelihood and neural network with participation of different bands. The results showed that the best overall accuracy of image classification using neural networks ETM+ in 2000 and LandSat 8  in 2013  was 0.95 and 0.95 respectively. It was also indicated that the kappa coefficient was estimated 0.91 and 0.91 respectively. The overall accuracy of maximum likelihood method of the collected images of  2000 and 2013 was  0.95 and 0.85, but it was 0.86 and 0.84 for Kappa statistics method. The results also showed a 1054.507 and 635.319 hectares decreasing of forest cover using  neural network classification  and maximum likelihood classification methods respectively. According to classification accuracy and Kappa statistics, it was observed that the accuracy and kappa coefficient of neural network classification was higher than accuracy and the Kappa coefficient of maximum likelihood method.

        Introduction: The imperialistic competition algorithm is a method in the field of evolutionary computing that deals with finding the optimal answer to various optimization problems. This algorithm provides an algorithm for solving mathematical optimization problems by mathematical modeling the socio-political evolution process. The imperialistic competition algorithm forms an initial set of possible answers. These initial answers are known as chromosomes in the genetic algorithm, particles in the particle swarm algorithm, and countries in the imperialistic competition algorithm. The imperialistic competition algorithm gradually improves these initial solutions (countries) with a special process that follows and finally provides the appropriate solution to the optimization problem. By imitating the process of the social, economic, and political evolution of countries and by mathematically modeling parts of this process, this algorithm presents operators in a regular form as an algorithm that can help solve complex optimization problems. In fact, this algorithm looks at the solutions of the optimization problem in the form of countries and tries to gradually improve these solutions during an iterative process and finally reach the optimal solution of the problem.Method: The proposed algorithm of this article (combined algorithm of neural network and colonial competition) has used the social-political process of the imperialistic competition algorithm with mathematical modeling in order to provide a strong and efficient algorithm in the field of diagnosis optimization.Findings: Our experiments proved that neural data classification using the transaction rejection option can lead us to a very low error rate, while we are looking for a very high detection rate. In this study, we reached an accuracy rate of 98.54, which is a higher accuracy rate compared to previous methods.Discussion: In this research, credit card fraud detection has been done with the aim of identifying the fraud rate, increasing the accuracy, and applying the lowest system error rate using neural networks and combining it with the colonial competition algorithm. Also, effective features were extracted in the evaluation of fraud detection. It can be concluded that the proposed classification system can have a very high detection performance in credit card financial transactions. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Nowadays, computer networks have significant impacts on our daily lives, leading to cybersecurity becoming a crucial area of research. Cybersecurity techniques mainly encompass antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Intrusion detection system is one of the fundamental security tools in the field of computer networks and systems. The primary goal of an intrusion detection system is to identify and alert about any unauthorized activities, threats, or attacks on a system or network. By analyzing the flow of data and network/system events, the intrusion detection system attempts to identify patterns and indicators related to various attacks and intrusions. Intrusion detection systems can operate based on rules or learning. In the rule-based approach, algorithms and rules created by security experts and analysts are used to detect patterns and identify attacks. However, in the machine learning approach, machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks are employed to extract patterns and features related to attacks from real data. Method: This study focuses on the examination and presentation of a combined approach using deep neural networks to prevent intrusions in computer networks. The primary objective of this research is to enhance the efficiency of intrusion detection systems. To achieve this goal, a combined approach of deep learning and artificial neural networks is proposed. This approach utilizes deep neural networks to detect more complex features and improves the model's performance. Results: Simulation results demonstrate that deep neural network methods such as MLP, CNN, LSTM, and GRU yield favorable outcomes compared to other single-layer machine learning techniques. In this study, two combined methods, CNN-GRU and CNN-LSTM, were introduced and tested on the KDD CUP'99 dataset for comprehensive analysis and evaluation. Both combined approaches exhibit high accuracy and lower classification errors compared to other introduced methods. Therefore, it can be concluded that the CNN-LSTM combined approach performs well on the KDD CUP'99 dataset. Discussion: Based on the achieved results, the combined CNN-LSTM and CNN-GRU methods offer very good performance with accuracies of 99.95% and 99.92%, respectively, on the KDD CUP'99 dataset. Among these methods, minor differences in the performance of some parameters for classes may exist, yet both approaches remain acceptable. Hence, it can be concluded that the combined CNN-LSTM approach performs well on the KDD CUP'99 dataset. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: Optimization of nonlinear time-varying functions, as a subset of nonlinear programming, has been widely observed in various economic and engineering models. In energy management, one example of optimizing nonlinear functions with time-variable components is the efficient allocation of energy resources and managing changes in demand and supply, leading to increased efficiency and reduced energy waste. In this article, we intend to use Zhang neural networks for optimizing nonlinear functions with time-varying components. By harnessing the parallel processing power of neural networks, Zhang networks search the solution space faster than traditional methods, significantly reducing the required computational time. In this research, the proposed neural network receives data using MATLAB software. The data is first standardized using standard normalization methods. The data is then divided into four stages: training, testing, experimenting and validation which are further evaluated in five phases. The training data is based on the Luenberger-Madala algorithm for the first layer and a linear function for the second layer. Subsequently, the best network structure is considered with the transformation function and the proposed neural network model is tested in five stages. In this paper, we are going to use Zhang's neural networks to optimize time-varying nonlinear functions. In this direction, a general Zhang discretization model with truncation error O (τ^5) has been used and an attempt has been made to study two general five-stage discrete time models of the Zhang neural network and survey about parameter a_1 and expand the optimal step size h. In this research, using MATLAB software, in order to enter the data into the proposed neural network, they are first normalized with the standard normalization method. The desired data in the research were examined and evaluated in four stages, training, testing, second step of testing and validation and in five phases. The training of the data is based on the Lunberg-Maud algorithm model for the first layer and linear function for the second layer. In the following, the best network structure with transformation function is considered and based on the proposed neural network model, it has been tested in five stages. On the other hand, during the past decades, neural network has attracted the attention of researchers due to its good features, including distributed storage, high-speed parallel processing, hardware applications, and superior performance in large-scale online applications. has attracted Some neural networks have been developed to solve nonlinear optimization during recent decades Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Domain adaptation has become an important issue today. A high percentage of data processing domain adaptation is done with a significant percentage of studies related to deep learning. Traditional methods often ignore the distance between the intra-class in source domain and target domain. As a result, models can be sensitive to outliers and noisy data, additionally increasing the negative transfer in the model. This method applied GAN to extract appropriate features and then used Fuzzy c-means to cluster train datasets in the target domain. Finally, based on the WMMD metric and CNN, the model estimates the final label data. Five real datasets are selected to generate eight transfer tasks. The results show that the superiority of the proposed model lies in transferring more knowledge from the source domain to the target domain.Method: In this approach, firstly based on GAN extracting features from source domains and the target domain (without labels), then label estimation by Fuzzy c-means clustering, finding the center of Fuzzy c-means on target domain data, new data points with labels in target domain as a new input to feature extraction module and regenerate features by GAN based on new pseudo labels. Afterward, we apply WMMD metrics based on CNN to ultimately assign labels for the target domain. Consequently, classification tasks have been done.Results: Empirical results on various benchmark datasets showcase the exceptional performance of the proposed method compared to state-of-the-art DA approaches, validating the proposed Deep-Learning Unsupervised Domain Adaptation approach efficacy. Overall, the approach shows potential for advancing domain adaptation research by offering an efficient and resilient approach for addressing domain shifts in real-world applications. Experimental results on visual object recognition and a digit dataset reveal that the proposed algorithm is robust, flexible, and significantly superior regarding accuracy compared to the baseline DA approaches. Based on the three and combined digit datasets, 1.7% and 2.4% accuracy improvement are achieved, respectively, compared to the best baseline DA approach results.Discussion: In this research, we addressed the challenging issues of outlier and negative transfer in the context of domain adaptation. Despite significant progress in domain adaptation techniques, outliers and negative transfer instances continue to hinder models' generalization performance across different domains. Based on DNNs and the WMMD metric, our proposed method was designed to mitigate these issues and effectively enhance knowledge transfer between domains.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction: In recent decades, rapid development in the world of technology and networks has achieved, also there is a spread of Internet of thing services in all fields over the world. Piracy numbers have increased, also a lot of modern systems were penetrated. Thus the developing information security technologies to detect the new attack become an important requirement.Method: One of the most important information security technologies is an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that uses machine learning and deep learning techniques to detect anomalies in the network. In all of the information processing systems, detecting cyber-attacks is one of the main challenges and its effects can be blocked or limited by timely detection of attacks. The IoT system is no exception to this phenomenon, and with the high development of this technology and the expansion of its infrastructure, the need for an intelligent intrusion detection system with high accuracy and speed is essential. Neural networks are modern systems and computational methods for machine learning, knowledge representation, and the application of acquired knowledge to maximize the output accuracy of complex systems. Neural networks have already been used to solve many problems related to pattern recognition, data mining, data compression and research is still underway with regards to intrusion detection systems. One of the disadvantages of using training with classical methods in neural networks is getting stuck in local optimal points. In this paper, we use the meta-heuristic algorithm of Imperial competition algorithm (ICA) to train neural networks and show that in the field of intrusion detection in the IoT system, it can show much better accuracy and speed to classical training methods.Results: Results show that our proposed method has 90% accuracy. This method has a better performance in comparison to classical neural network that has 75% accuracy.Discussion: In this article, we will show that the use of imperial competition evolutionary optimization algorithms instead of traditional methods can increase the accuracy of the IDS system. In addition, evolutionary optimization algorithms are zero order and less complicated than gradient methods. Therefore, using this method, in addition to reducing the cost of system implementation, can increase the speed and accuracy of intrusion detection. In addition, from reliability point of view, we will show that the ICA-based systems are more stable in different implementations. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Face recognition is one of the most important biometric technologies for people identification, also used in access control. Face recognition is one of the important steps before identity recognition. Usually, one method is used to detect the presence of faces in images. Still, in this research, to increase the accuracy of detection, the combination of two methods is used to improve the detection performance: Viola-Jones algorithm and the matching of image components and texture with face and skin components. In the first step, we use the Viola-Jones algorithm to detect the facial features. In the next step, the features of the eye and nose tissues are analyzed with regression neural networks, and facial features are recognized better according to the facial features. In this research, the texture features of the right and left eyes and the nose of the face are used to increase the matching accuracy. We have used the faces of the FDD-Fold dataset to evaluate the proposed method. Comparing the performance of this method with the RCNN deep network method with a much smaller number of training data, we reached an accuracy of 96.36%, more than the deep learning network. This method gives good results in systems with limited computing ability and average amount of data.The face recognition system is one of the biometric identification systems and one of the most important technologies for people identification, which is also used in access control. Face identification is one of the few biometric methods that, with the advantages of high accuracy and low level of human intervention, is used in cases such as information security, law enforcement and monitoring, traffic control, and registration in attendance systems. This method creates more convenience and development with fewer requirements. then, this method has received more attention during the last twenty years.Face detection is a local binary classification problem that shows the presence of faces in the given image using boxes surrounding them. Although the Viola-Jones method is less accurate than modern methods such as convolutional neural networks; Its much lower efficiency and training parameters compared to the millions of parameters of a typical CNN result in faster training, better accuracy with limited data, and its use in devices with limited computing power such as cameras and mobile phones. The innovation of this method is matching the geometric pattern of the edges to identify the presence of the face in the image, along with matching the skin texture. This method seems to be faster and more accurate than the previous ones.Method: In this research, in the first step, we use Viola-Jones, one of the optimal face recognition algorithms in the image, to detect facial components. In the next step, we use the adaptation of the general shape of facial parts such as eyes, and match the textures in the image with the predicted texture for human skin, to improve the recognition performance and increase the recognition accuracy, in such a way that the regression neural networks examine the eye and nose tissue characteristics and according to the characteristics of the facial tissue, the facial components are recognized by the regression neural network. The investigated features in the texture include minimum and maximum color intensity, mean and median, and variance of the image. The data is given to the regression neural network for training. Here Remarkable thing is matching the overall shape of the human head and face, and in the next step matching the overall shape of the facial parts such as the eyes to improve the accuracy of the presented method. We also use the matching of textures in the image with the texture predicted for human skin to further improve the accuracy of the program's performance. Manuscript profile

        Psychophysiologic verity test is a topic which is used widely in the world. Polygraphy system is usedfor recording the Psychophysiologic signals of a person in these tests and a cuff is used for measuringrelative changes of the arterial blood pressure and recording the velocity and power of the heart pulsein polygraph system. But the problem is that using cuff in various tests brings undesirable conditionsfor the body. The aim of this paper is to present a method for removing cuff in a way that desiredinformation is resulted in another way. This goal is followed by using arterial photoplethysmograhy.In order to do that, a model is presented which uses arterial volume to estimate blood pressure changessignal. This model was identified with MLP neural network. The output of this model is comparedwith blood pressure changes signal in three levels of signal, feature and classification. Reliability ofthe model was evaluated by presenting appropriate assessment criterions. The results were gained withthe 9.8% relative error, 4.4% relative error power and 80% accuracy of lie recognition in signalsassessed for blood pressure changes.According to the findings, the new method introduced in thisstudy has a comparable accuracy of results to the results of former methods while offering a morecomfortable recording and less diagnostic costs.

        In recent decades, computational methods with regard to accurate validation parameters for the determination of the physical- chemistry properties of compounds have been considered by many researchers and have been used as an economic and environmental alternative to saving time and eliminating high costs.  In this study, the relationship between the logarithmic values of LD50,) log (LD50)(molkg-1) and molecular descriptors has been investigated for 60 types of aniline derivatives(including some herbicides compounds). At first, the structure of the compounds were drawn by Gauss view05 software and optimized using Gaussian 09 software with B3LYP/6-311++G** method, and then were extracted molecular descriptors. Then inappropriate descriptors were eliminated by genetic algorithm method and the best ones were used for multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural networks (ANN) models. The results showed that the ANN method with the lowest error and the highest coefficient of determination was higher than the MLR method to predicting the log(LD50)(molkg-1) of studied aniline derivatives.   Manuscript profile

The possibility of absorbing these toxins through the skin is accessible to many researchers who have been studying the toxicity of organophosphate compounds. Experimental methods are time-consuming and high cost, and they come with a lot of dangers. Quantitative structure activity/property relationship studies provide the capability to access data, information and physico-chemical properties of chemical compounds, using the methods and modeling.  In this study, the multiple regression linear method and the artificial neural network with multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model were used to investigate the quantitative relationship of LD50 (mgkg-1) toxicity index with some molecular descriptors of some organophosphate compounds.  Investigation of correlation coefficients and root mean square errors values of final models in this study showed that ANN method using the MLP model was higher than the MLR method for prediction of LD50(mgkg-1) of organophosphates compounds.

        In this research, Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) study has been used for prediction of toxicity values of carboxylic acid derivatives. Firstly, the toxicity (LD50) values of data set of studied compounds were taken from the scientific web book and the their structures were drawn with the Gauss view 05 program and optimized at Hartree–Fock level of theory and 3-21G basis set by Gaussian 09 software. Then the dragon software was used for the calculation of molecular descriptors. The unsuitable descriptors were deleted with the aid of the genetic algorithm (GA) and backward techniques, and the best descriptors were used for multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models. The prediction accuracy of the final model was discussed using the statistical parameters. Leave-one-out cross-validation and external test set of the predictive models demonstrated a high-quality correlation between the observed and predicted toxicity values of all, training, test and validation sets in GA-ANN method. The model by ANN algorithm due to the lower error and higher regression coefficients was clearly superior to those models by MLR algorithm. The proposed model may be useful for predicting log LD50 of new compounds of similar class. Manuscript profile

        Lavender with the scientific name Lavandula stricta Del is a perennial medicinal plant with a height of about half a meter that grows in different regions of Iran. Drying is one of the oldest methods of preserving materials. The use of neural networks can be used in the design and selection of optimal working conditions and dryer control. In this study, various parameters of drying, evaluation of mathematical models to determine the best model, evaluation of different topologies of MLP artificial neural network to determine the best network for lavender plant with microwave dryer with power range of 100-1000 watts and The frequency of 2450 MHz is provided in four power levels of 300, 500, 700 and 900 watts. MLP artificial neural network was used to predict the relationship between drying kinetic parameters (moisture ratio and drying rate) and efficiency of energy consumption with changes in microwave power consumption using Statistica software. Among the fitted models, the Midili model was chosen as the best model according to R 2, χ 2 and RMSE criteria. Microwave power levels had an effect on drying time, with drying times of 3 minutes for 900 W power and 11 minutes for 300 W power. In order to predict drying kinetic parameters and energy consumption efficiency, MLP network with one input and three outputs was successfully used. The results generally showed that the MLP artificial neural network is a very powerful tool in predicting drying kinetic parameters and energy efficiency of lavender medicinal plant based on microwave power consumption values.

        Tuberculosis drug resistance is still one of the most important challenges in the treatment of this infectious disease, and therefore the discovery and development of new effective anti-tuberculosis drugs are always of interest to researchers. In this study, Quantitative structure – activity relationship (QSAR) analysis was applied on a series of imidazole[1,2-a] pyridinecarboxamide derivatives as anti-tuberculosis agents. The biological activity of the 18 derivatives were estimated by multiple linear regression and artificial neural network approaches. The four molecular descriptors (nCl, MATS8m, BELe4 and GATS8e) were selected by using stepwise multiple linear regression. The best results of artificial neural network were obtained with a 5-5-1 architecture trained with the feed forward backpropagation algorithm. An external test set containing 5 compounds for evaluating the model's predictive ability was used. The results showed that the artificial neural network approach provides better predictive power compared with multiple linear regression. According to the results of this study, electronegativity, atomic masses and molecular geometry have been found to be important factors controlling the anti-tuberculosis activity. Manuscript profile

        The intensity of finding competition in the industrial and economic space and the market move towards a complete competition market has made the inclination of firms to attract more customers and, instead, have increased the tendency to operate in various service and manufacturing areas. This policy, which is known for increasing the share of wallet, makes it more important to maintain customer relationships and analyze their relationships, and it is necessary to conduct customer behavioral analysis, customer relationship analysis, and customer behavior forecasting. The present research seeks to identify customers who are turning away and anticipates the decline of customers in order to prevent customers from falling. In this regard, the variables associated with the reversal analysis are first identified and then the bank customers are clustered using a neural network and classified into three categories of loyal, regular, and negative clients. With the receipt of the above labels, a backup vector machine has been used to classify and reverse prediction. Based on the results, the proposed method has the ability to predict rotational deviation of up to 80% and, moreover, has a better performance than the classical decision tree. Manuscript profile

        Depending on the temperature and pressure of the heat source, single-effect absorption chillers are categorized in two types of hot water and steam single-effect chillers. Due to the ability to use the waste steam in oil, gas and petrochemical industries for air conditioning and process cooling purposes, the steam type chiller is more widely used. In this study, the artificial neural network is exploited in the prediction of the steam single-effect absorption chiller performance since it is faster and has lower computational cost compared to thermodynamic modeling methods. The perceptron multilayer neural network with the error backpropagation algorithm, the hyperbolic tangent excitation function and the Levenberg-Marquardt learning method with 15285 data points and also the mean squared error estimation index are used. Inputs of the artificial neural network are the inlet cooling tower water temperature, inlet chilled water temperature, inlet steam temperature, outlet chilled water temperature and the solution heat exchanger efficiency respectively. Also, outputs of the neural network are the coefficient of performance and thermal energy consumption of the chiller. Results of this study show that the artificial neural network is capable to predict the coefficient of performance and the thermal energy consumed by the single-effect absorption chiller while the values of mean squared error are 3.183×10^(-7) and 7.466×10^(-8) respectively which verify the accuracy of the method proposed here in absorption chiller performance prediction.

        Given all the advancements in water resources management engineering, the problem of groundwater quality assessment is the main problem encountered in most plains of Iran. Therefore, managing and monitoring the quality of water resources is very importance. In this study, we tried to predict and estimate the groundwater quality in the Salmas plain using RBF and GFF models. To achieve this aim, groundwater quality data of Salmas plain during 10 years (2001-2011) were used and results were analyzed according to Wilcox, Scholler and Piper standards. 70% of data were used to train the network and 10% of data were used to validate the two models. Therefore, the remaining 20% ​​of available data was used for network testing. The application of appropriate and applicable statistical parameters showed that RBF model with Levenberg-Marquardt training and 4 hidden layers, has high ability to estimate and predict groundwater quality. Also R2= 0.88 and RMSE= 29.71% in this model. Also the results of using different diagrams show that samples have low hardness and corrosion. Most of the data is in the C3S1 class. According to the results, all the water resources of the study area are acceptable for agriculture, drinking and industry, respectively. Manuscript profile

        Determination of schedule and bid prices for mechanized tunneling needs to estimate of tunneling machine advance rate. Also determination of machine advance rate needs to estimate machine utilization. Although some empirical equations were proposed for this purpose, these equations don’t have good accuracy. The aim of this study is estimation of TBM utilization with artificial neural networks. For this purpose data set of open TBM tunneling was gathered and a neural network with 5 inputs (in-situ stress, uniaxial compressive strength, disc thrust, joint orientation factor and Q rock mass classification index) and one output (TBM utilization) was designed. Since input parameters have a good relationship with output parameter, neural network estimate TBM utilization with high accuracy. Manuscript profile

        The amount of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is one of the most important parameter in evaluating hydrocarbon source rocks. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate of source rock by a method. There are several methods for estimating the of source rocks. One of the earliest methods is the traditional method, which is very expensive and time consuming, so researchers are looking for more efficient methods. Given the high potential of remote sensing and spectral VIR spectra, the VNIR makes it possible to estimate the characteristics of the origin rock at a lower cost basis. Different quantitative and qualitative methods are used to establish a relationship between the concentration of rock elements and the spectrum obtained from remote sensing data. In this study, we tried to estimate the total organic carbon content of the total origin rock using the OLI Landsat 8 image sensor and using the MLP artificial neural network model. For this purpose, the band of 5 spectral ranges (0.845-0.8585) with Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.62 was chosen for the neural network. An artificial neural network with neurons in the secret layer with R2 = 0.79 and RMSE = 0.0008 were selected to generate a total organic carbon map. Manuscript profile

        Land use change due to human activities is one of the important issues in regional and development planning. Given the advantages and capabilities of satellite data, this technology can be of great help in identifying and detecting these changes. The purpose of this study is to detect land use changes in Kamyaran city using satellite images over a period of 35 years. In this study, data from 1984 TM sensor, 2000 ETM + sensor and 2019 Landsat OLI sensor were used.  Initially, preliminary preprocessions including radiometric, atmospheric and geometric corrections were performed on the raw data. Land control points were used for training, accreditation and to prepare land use map. Land use class was determined by field survey and using Google Earth images in 9 land use classes of agricultural lands, forests, gardens, rich and wooded pastures, medium rangelands, residential areas, water area, barren lands and rock outcrops. Next, the neural network method was used to monitor the images in ENVI 5.3 software. The evaluation results showed that the overall accuracy and kappa coefficient of OLI classified images are 94.3 and 0.92%, ETM + 92.6 and 0.91% and TM 90.3 and 0.87%, respectively. The results showed that forest lands and rich and wooded pastures decreased significantly during three time periods, which decreased by 11.64 and 19.12 percent, respectively. So that rich and wooded pastures have an increasing trend until 2000 and in the next period until 2019 has a decreasing trend. Residential lands, water areas and gardens increased by 2.27%, 0.57% and 3.98%, respectively. Due to the growing trend of population and urbanization, the results of this study provide the necessary information to make basic decisions in the development of management policies for planners and regional managers for the sustainability and evaluation of natural resources.

        Stock price prediction is a very important financial topic, and is considered a challenging task and worthy of the considerableattention received from both researchers and practitioners. Stock price series have properties of high volatility, complexity,dynamics and turbulence, thus the implicit relationship between the stock price and predictors is quite dynamic. Hence, it isdifficult to tackle the stock price prediction problems effectively by using only single soft computing technique.In this research, in the first step, the possibility of predicting stock price of National Iranian Copper Industries Company wasstudied. Then, for predicting of stock price after one day neural ¬network of MLP by learning algorithm of Levenberg-Marquardt were used. Then optimize structure of neural network was trained with the standard BP algorithm, the learningrate is 3/0 has the best performance. And for this learning rate, sensitive of standard BP algorithm was calculated to minimizelocal. At the end, standard BP algorithm with momentum is used. The results showed that predicting by standards BPalgorithm with momentum is better than the standard BP algorithm. Manuscript profile

        Considering the importance of efficiency in advancing communities and the place that today's organizations have embraced, the use of performance evaluation has become an inevitable necessity. Therefore, we are trying to investigate the effectiveness of organizations by combining the two DEA-BSC systems and neural networks in this study. In this regard, first, the performance indicators were determined by using the Balanced Scorecard technique in four dimensions of customer, internal processes, learning and growth and financial, then using the data envelopment analysis method and non-radial SBM model and GAMS software, the organization's efficiency we calculated. In the next step, with the help of the indicators derived from the DEA-BSC method and using the combination of two systems of data envelopment analysis and neural network and using the MATLAB software, the efficiency was re-calculated. In the last step, we compared the two methods of DEA-BSC and ANN-DEA. The results of the comparison of the two methods indicated the compatibility of the two models in discussing the efficiency and superiority of the ANN-DEA method in terms of the short response time and the determination of the efficiency and the possibility of using Its trained algorithm to measure the performance of organizational units in the future.

        Productivity forecasting is a key factor in strategy planning in an organization. Artificial neural networks method is one of the productivity estimating methods whose users must have enough experience and skill because of its adjustable parameters. Trial and Error is mostly used to find the proper levels of these parameters. This article presents a seven step pattern for selecting proper adjustable parameters for neural network, using Taguchi experiment design method to improve the efficiency of productivity forecasting. As a result, the optimum parameters levels that lead to the most desirable forecasting in neural network are as follows: the number of hidden layers: 2 layers, the number of neurons in each hidden layer: 7 neurons, learning rate: 0.9 and the number of neural network inputs:  productivity indicators with more than 0.85 degree of correlation. Among the above mentioned factors, the number of hidden layers with 71.18% of contribution rate in experiment results is the most important factor in neural network design to forecast the productivity of Iranian food industry. Finally, the overall results of the study showed that using this pattern provides the possibility of choosing competitive strategies besides decreasing forecasting time and cost. Moreover, this pattern helps decision makers with the extent of the consideration that must be put into each adjustable parameter by determining the contribution rate of each parameter in the experiment results.

        Iran's location on the arid and semi-arid belt of the world, as well as the mismanagement of water resources, has created a warning situation of water shortage in many parts of the country. The present research evaluates the effects of climate change on temperature, rainfall and runoff in future periods with the help of LARS-WG statistical model and SWAT hydrological conceptual model for Lar Basin. To estimate the flow rate of the river, the performance of Bayesian network and the combined wavelet-neural network model are also examined. After entering the rainfall and temperature information of the region, runoff was simulated for two hydrometric stations of Gozeldareh and Plour and the outflow runoff of Plour station between 1979 to 2018 was calibrated and validated as a control point. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the models, the criteria of Nash-Sutcliffe and explanation coefficient are used. According to climate models, the highest temperature increase in the final period and under the RCP8.5 climate scenario shows about 10% increase in temperature in spring and winter. Finally, among these models, the physical model with an average annual prediction of 6.04 cubic meters per second according to the observation period, showed a decrease in runoff. Manuscript profile

Then it is predicted same changes in the future by the method of artificial neural network. In this study we have us of the data from two synoptic stations Hamadan and Nojeh .The statistic’s years in this study; it seems the rainfall season in the central part of Hamadan province in started later and ended later in last decade. In other words the starter of rainfall season in Hamadan which occurred in the fall season, at present tend to ward the winter season and the fall season is more dryer than before ages. This shows that the rainfall season is interchanged in this district. in using of the method of artificial neural network we should consider to two main points in the predicting of precipitation the first one, the low attention of this method in the long –term predicting of precipitation and the second one, the exaggerate in the minimum and maximum amount of precipitation in different seasons of year.

        Solar radiation is one of the key inputs for most hydrological models in estimating reference evapotranspiration. Furthermore providing and making the measurement tools for this parameter is very costly. In this research, ridation (Rs ) of zahedan meteological station in 1385 to 1389 were used. Some non- linear models such as neure systemwith algorithm BFGS, and neure system with conjugate Gradient training algorithms, and locallinear regression through gamma test were developed. Then , these non- linear models and two expereimental model including Angstrom - Prescott and Glory Mac Kalut were assessed for predicting radiation.

        Land use/cover changes, especially human urbanization Cause destruction of natural habitats and threaten biodiversity. Regularly, Land use/cover models are one the most important methods for evaluating this trend. The objective of this study is the investigation of land use/cover change and modeling in the Neka city using Land Change Modeler (LCM). Landsat TM (١٩٨8), ETM+ (٢٠٠2), and OLI (2016) data was used for land use/cover classification and change. In addition, transition potential modeling was conducted using an artificial neural network. In this method, 5 sub-models and 9 variables were used. Then calibration period (1988-2002) was used by Markov chain and hard prediction for extrapolating the 2016 land use/cover changes. Finally, land use/cover maps for 2002 and 2016 were used for land use/cover map extending prediction to the year 2030. The accuracy assessment of model was conducted by Error Matrix. The results of this study showed the annual rate of decline in the forest was 2297 Hectare during the period 1988-2016. The biggest changes were in the conversion of forest lands to agriculture. Modeling results using artificial neural network also showed acceptable accuracy (69%). The results of modeling for 2030 also showed that the area of the forest is decreasing, Agricultural lands and urban areas are increasing. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Artemisia sieberi Besser. (Asteraceae) is a medicinal plant belongs to flora of Iran , which is used in treatment of parasitic and infectious diseases. In recent years, many habitats parts of this plant have been destroyed by human activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the autecological characteristics and estimation of Artemisia density in Roodab region of Sabzevar in 2017. At first the A.sieberi habitats was determined on satellite images, then ecological information including topography, climate, soil, geology and phenology was collected. In the next step, Artemisia densities in degraded rangelands were investigated by using neural network model. For this purpose, 70 random soil samples consisting of independent variables (texture, EC, SAR, pH, N, P, K, cations, organic matter and lime percentage) as well as dependent variable (plant density) were used to construct the model. The results were showed that A.sieberi prefers altitudes of of 1400 to 1800 m, 0% to 12% slope, 160 to 200 mm rainfall, and loamy to calcareous loam soils with low salinity. plant vegetative activity begins in late March and seed ripening occurs early in December. The results of model prediction indicated that the lowest plant density with 0.11 / m2 was related to the plots that were 40 years under plowing stress and the highest density with 0.4 /m2 was related to the plots after two years of degradation. The regression model (R2) showed that 95% of independent variables were involved in determining plant density. Model prediction also indicated that the lowest density by 0.11 and 0.4 plant per m2 belonged to rangelands have been plowed more than 40 years and which lasted two years from their destruction, respectively. Regression model (R2) also showed that independent variables have a 95% effect on the determination of A.sieberi density. Manuscript profile

        Among the important factors in urban planning and management, particularly in line with the achievement of the sustainable development in the urban areas as well as regarding the optimal use of the land, is on-time access to the data of land cover conditions in these regions. The remote sensing data has a high potential for the preparation of the update urban land cover maps. In order to present on-time and digital satellite data, a variety of shapes and possibility of processing during land cover maps are of high significance. In order to use the satellite photos Landsat/ETM+ and two algorithm of supervised classification including the maximum likelihood and the artificial neural network, land cover maps were prepared. During classification, the neural network algorithm of a perceptron network with a hidden layer and 7 input neurons, nine middle neurons and 4 output neurons were used. The input neurons are the same in number as the bands of the Landsat photos and the number of output neurons are the same as land cover map classes. Eventually, land cover map of the region has been classified into four classes of residential areas, barren lands, plant coverage, and roads. In order to evaluate the correctness of the classification results, many photos have been taken using GPS. Using overall accuracy and Kappa Coefficient the precision evaluation results of these two methods indicate that perceptron neural network has an overall accuracy of 98/24 and Kappa Coefficient 97/03 compared to the algorithm of maximum likelihood with an overall accuracy of 94/23 and Kappa Coefficient 90 / 34 is of higher precision. The findings of this study also show that the classification method for multilayer perceptron neural network as compared with the maximum likelihood method is of higher separation and capability for preparing the land cover map in the urban regions.

        In most of empirical studies based on almost ideal demand system (Aids), the elasticity of the price and income estimated by these equations resulted to some sensitive policy making recommendations in microeconomics and macroeconomics. It is in such a case that there is some doubt about reliability of linear estimation of such models. In this study, the performance of linear and non-linear almost ideal demand system is under the investigation. For this purpose, seemingly unrelated regression (SURE) method will be applied to estimate linear model and multilayered feed forward neural network (MFNN) is used to estimate a non-linear one. The results indicate that multilayered feed forward neural network is associated with less error than the linear model, and consequently, leads to a better estimation of almost ideal demand system. This result creates some hesitate on application of Stone price index for linear zing estimation of almost ideal demand system. Therefore, it is suggested that feed forward neural network will be applied to estimate almost ideal demand systems. Manuscript profile

        Prediction and analysis of stock market movements are an important topic for researchers, traders and have got an important role in today’s economy. Variety in policies, such as government policies and economic policies affect the stock market and cause stock price changes. The predicting stock price movement on a daily basis due to the non-linear and chaotic stock price movements is a difficult task. There are several ways for predicting in stock market. Artificial intelligence techniques have been widely used to predict data with nonlinear and chaotic structure. One of these techniques is neural network. If neural network is trained correctly, then it has minimum error in predicting. In this research, we will train the multi layer perceptron neural network with 8 meta heuristics algorithms and we predict Tehran Exchange Dividend Price Index (TEDPIX).

        The purpose of this paper's prediction of survival or death within 30 days is based on a cerebral hemorrhage. Timely and correct diagnosis and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage are essential. If the patient's death is predicted during these thirty days, the treating physician should use intensive care and more treatment for the patient. Cerebral hemorrhages require immediate treatment and rapid and accurate diagnosis. In this article, using the volume of cerebral hemorrhage and the patient's age and using the neural network of support vector machine (SVM), it is predicted what percentage of people with cerebral hemorrhage survive and what percentage die. Parameters of cerebral hemorrhage volume and, age of patients, neural network input are considered. The network's output is the survival or death of patients with cerebral hemorrhage over the next thirty days. The data we used included the bleeding volume and age of 66 patients with lobar hemorrhage, 76 patients with deep bleeding, nine patients with Pontine hemorrhage and 11 patients with cerebellar hemorrhage. All bleeding models are considered as input to the support vector machine neural network. The overall accuracy of the designed support vector machine neural network is 93%. Regardless of the type of cerebral hemorrhage, the survival or death of people with cerebral hemorrhage within 30 days is predicted. Manuscript profile

        Insulin therapy with an insulin pump for diabetic patients has different challenges in the real world. Physiological uncertainties in human bodies, different types of daily activities are the most important challenges in this field. Besides, delay in CHO effects in blood glucose may increase the risk of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic. In this paper, general type 2 fuzzy controller with alpha-plane has been used to handle the uncertainties and a neural network predictor to estimate the blood glucose in next hour as well. Genetic algorithm is also used to tune some free parameters in the controller. in addition, Fuzzy rules have been weighted by predefined values based on the prediction of the amount of glucose in one hour late. in such case, rule weighting has been adjusted according to the glucose of the body which in turn two high risk situations of diabetic patients (hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia) have been considered in fuzzy inference. the Simulation results on Hovorka model shows that the controller can regulate the blood glucose in the existence of uncertainty in model and CHO regimen without the risk of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic situations.

        Using the adaptive radial basis function (RBF) neural network dynamic surface control design method, a controller design approach is presented in order to the stabilization of strict-feedback nonlinear stochastic systems subjected to Prandtl-Ishlinskii nonlinearity in the actuator. This method is capable to be applied to nonlinear stochastic systems with any unknown dynamics. According to the universal approximation capability the RBF neural networks make it possible to approximate the unknown dynamics of the nonlinear stochastic systems. Using the minimal-learning-parameters algorithm the approximation procedure is done with a minimum complexity and required calculations. The stability of the proposed control system is proven analytically and its results are demonstrated using a simulation example. It is shown that the proposed design approach guarantees the boundedness in probability for adaptive control system, and in turn the uniformly ultimately boundedness of all closed-loop signals. It is also shown, that using this method the tracking error can be made arbitrarily small. Manuscript profile

        It is essential to control vital variables in patients whose natural control system has been compromised for some reason. One of these vital variables is blood glucose levels. Unfortunately, in people with diabetes (blood sugar), blood glucose levels are not regulated properly. To compensate for this lack, in recent years, several studies and efforts have been made to build and improve the function of the artificial pancreas to control blood sugar. The presence of factors such as multiple uncertainties due to physiological differences in individuals, various activities during the day, delayed effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels, stress and exercise make controlling the artificial pancreas a challenging system. But one of the most important challenges in this area, which has not been less addressed in the literature is the limitation on the allowable dose of insulin injected into the artificial pancreas for patients with type 1 diabetes. On the one hand, injecting a high dose of insulin can cause problems such as hyperglycemia issues and on the other hand, injecting a negative dose of insulin is meaningless. In this paper, after selecting the Bergman model and considering the existence of asymmetric saturation in the actuator, the back-stepping control method is used and it is combined with an adaptive technique to improve the controller performance. Finally, simulation results depict that in the presence of large step disturbance, the insulation rate remains in the allowed band of zero to 20 mU/min, and the blood glucose level does not exceed the appropriate level 130mg/dl.

        In this study, the design of a reliable detection system that is able to identify different emotions with the desired accuracy has been considered. To reach this goal, two different structures for the emotion recognition system include 1) using linear and non-linear features of the electroencephalography (EEG) signal along with common classifiers and 2) using EEG signal in a deep learning structure is considered to identify emotional states. To design the system, the EEG signals of the DEAP database which were recorded by displaying emotional videos from 32 subjects were used. After the preparation and noise removal, linear and non-linear features such as: Skewness, Kurtosis, Hjorth parameters, Lyapunov exponent, Shannon entropy, correlation and fractal dimension and time reversibility were extracted from the alpha, beta and gamma subbands of the EEG signals. Then according to structure 1, the features were applied as input to common classifiers such as decision tree (DT), k nearest neighbor (kNN) and support vector machine (SVM). Also in structure 2, the EEG signal was considered as the input of the convoloutional neural network (CNN). The goal is to evaluate the results of deep learning networks and other methods for emotion recognition. According to the obtained results, the SVM achieved the best performance for identifying four emotional states with 94.1 % accuracy. Also, the proposed CNN identified the desired emotional states with the accuracy of 86%. Deep learning methods are superior to simple classifiers because they do not require the features of the signals and are resistant to different noises. Using a short period of time for the signals and performing near optimal preprocessing and conditioning, can further improve the results of deep neural networks. Manuscript profile

        With the increasing interest in Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image compression, one of the most important issues in digital image manipulation is finding a proper method to detect double JPEG compression. This paper introduces a trained adaptive filter based on spatial-domain convolutional autoencoder (CAE). This filter can remove interference information caused by image content to have a more accurate detection. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been widely employed for accurate image classification; therefore, a CNN is used in the classification part of the proposed algorithm. The proposed model is based on consecutive CAE with CNN, which is able to provide acceptable detection accuracy and sensitivity to quality factors (QFs) in two scenarios, i.e. aligned and non-aligned forgeries. This model improves the sensitivity to quality factors by up to 86% in the relative error reduction (RER) rate in some cases. Other experiments such as manipulation localization on the RAISE dataset have been performed to evaluate the proposed method. These results show the superior performance of this method compared to similar algorithms in the situations that the quality factor of the second compression is greater the quality factor of the first compression.  Manuscript profile

        One of the main reasons of death in the world, mostly affecting seniors, is brain stroke. Almost 85% of all brain strokes are ischemic due to internal bleeding in a part of the brain. Due the high mortality rate, quick diagnosic and treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes are of utmost importance. In this paper, to realize microwave brain imaging system, a circular array-based of modified bowtie antennas located around the multilayer head phantom with a spherical target with radius of 1 cm as intracranial hemorrhage target aresimulated in CST simulator. To obtain satisfied radiation characteristics in the desired band (from 0.5-5 GHz) an appropriate matching medium is designed. First, in the processing section, a confocal image-reconstructing method based using delay and sum (DAS) and delay, multiply and sum (DMAS) beam-forming algorithms is used. The reconstructed images generated shows the usefulness of the proposed confocal method in detecting the spherical target in the range of 1 cm. The main purpose of this paper is stroke classification using deep learning approaches. For this, an image classification algorithm is developed to estimate the stroke type from reconstructed images. By using the proposed deep learning method, the reconstructed images are classified into different categories of cerebrovascular diseases using a multiclass linear support vector machine (SVM) trained with convol­uti­onal neural networks (CNN) features extracted from the images. The simulated results show the suitability of the proposed image reconstruction method for precisely localizing bleeding targets, with 89% accuracy in 9 seconds. In addition, the proposed deep-learning approach shows good performance in terms of classification, since the system does not confuse between different classes. Manuscript profile

        Fire is one of the dangers that can endanger human health in a short time and if it is not controlled in time, it will cause a lot of damage. Therefore, timely and accurate identification of the location of the fire can prevent the consequences of its expansion. In this research, a new method for fire detection is proposed based on the extraction of its temporal-spatial features in video frames. In the proposed algorithm, a multiscale convolutional neural network along with a YOLO (you only look once) network is used to extract spatial features and identify fire candidate regions. Then, fractal analysis based on the temporal blanket method is then used to remove non-moving textures similar to fire and to examine the temporal features of the candidate region. Finally, the fire region is separated from the other parts of the image by fusion the results of the two steps. The evaluation results of the proposed method on three data sets show that the accuracy of fire detection is about 96.1%, while the precision and recall values are 92% and 96.9%, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than existing algorithms and thus confirms the ability of this method for efficient use in the real world. Manuscript profile

        Restructuring of power systems and integration of different renewable energy sources with complex dynamic behaviors and high structural uncertainties has made the issue of load frequency control more important. For a hybrid power system that includes a thermal power plant taking into account nonlinear limitations such as the governor dead band and generator rate constraints and renewable energy sources including a wind turbine, solar-thermal power plant, electrolyzer, fuel cell, and plug-in electric vehicle, this paper proposes an adaptive wavelet neural network fractional order PID controller (AWNNFOPID) based on self-recursive wavelet neural networks and fractional order PID controller. To compare the performance of the proposed AWNNFOPID controller, four different scenarios are considered and the simulation results are compared with traditional I, PI, and PID controllers as well as with the optimized FOPID controller. The simulation results show that the proposed AWNNFOPID controller has better performances than the other control strategies used for the studied hybrid power system based on performance indicators such as settling time, rise time, maximum overshoot, maximum undershoot, integral time absolute error (ITAE), and integral absolute error (IAE).

        Antenna structure and performance, bandwidth, gain and guidance are the most important performance indicators. For this purpose, RL homogeneous transmission line is very important due to low loss, phase changes, frequency bandwidth, zero and negative order resonance, miniaturization and easy construction, and is very suitable in the design of broadband and array antennas. The right-left hand structure in the antennas due to the difference in the phase of the right part in the repetition of arrays and the thickness of the layer has phase delay and finally deviation of the radiation pattern. On the other hand, the blockage of the transmission line on the left causes bandwidth restriction and increasing the number of casualties in the system. In this paper, with the help of deep learning (DL), composite defects are solved and optimized arrayed antenna. The proposed antenna transmission line design in the range of 2-7 GHz, optimum resonance frequency of 4.5 GHz and convolution, dual resonance and spiral inductor neural algorithm are loaded onto the patch in four arrays. The use of convolutional neural network (CNN) in the left transmission line compensates for the right phase delay and finally enables optimal phase changes, correction of radiation pattern and continuous scanning of phase arrays. Also, by creating gaps in the microstrip patch, bandwidth limit is removed and the system losses are reduced. Secondary dimensions compared to the primary dimension are reduced to about 60% in size and miniature according to the smart modified model. The results of this improved composite showed an increase in bandwidth of 20.3 and the efficiency of the radiation pattern by more than 96%. On the other hand, small dimensions, appropriate frequency bandwidth and simple network design have been provided. Manuscript profile

        Active noise control is based on the destructive interference between the primary noise and generated noise from the secondary source. An antinoise of equal amplitude and opposite phase is generated and combined with the primary noise. In this paper, performance of the neural networks is evaluated in active cancellation of sound noise. For this reason, feedforward and recurrent neural networks are designed and trained. After training, performance of the feedforwrad and recurrent networks in noise attenuation are compared. We use Elman network as a recurrent neural network. For simulations, noise signals from a SPIB database are used. In order to compare the networks appropriately, equal number of layers and neurons are considered for the networks. Moreover, training and test samples are similar. Simulation results show that feedforward and recurrent neural networks present good performance in noise cancellation. As it is seen, the ability of recurrent neural network in noise attenuation is better than feedforward network.  Manuscript profile

        This paper analyses the Partial Discharge (PD) on the stator terminals of synchronous generator. This is necessary to collect experimental data for the analysis. First, exploiting the measurement devices, special signals that describe the partial discharges are repeatedly collected. Then, based on the current standards, the collected empirical data are subjected to interpretation. To ease the interpretation process, an Artificial Neural Network is trained and validated. We have used a double layers forward perceptron neural network which is trained by Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm that utilizes least square method as the performance index. As the case study, three gas turbine-generators located in Shahre-Rey power plant (Rey Power Generation Management Company) have been subjected to repeatedly data collection. The mentioned generators are manufactured by Mitsubishi with 85 MW of nominal power. Generally, partial discharge analysis has the following practical implication about the probable defects: lamination of the internal terminal, mobility within the main insulation and discharge into the groove in stator of synchronous generator.

        In order to improve transient stability and increase the system damping, this paper introduces a specific way of coordination between FACTS devices (TCSC and SVC). In order to improve the performance and use all the features of TCSC and SVC (presented in this article), it is necessary a controller be used in which does not have the limitations of other controllers and simply be also able to quickly respond and adapt to the power system model. Hence, these features can be found in the intelligent controllers in which the ADALINE network is one of them. To better understand the performance of the ADALINE network controller; this controller will be compared with a controller which is designed by the optimal control parameters (LQR). The instruments used for FACTS are from the injection type and therefore, it is possible to use a fixed factorization ybus matrix in the calculations. Simulation results using non-linear network show that the ADALINE neural network controller has better performance than the LQR controller and can cause significant improvement on damping and transmission ability in the power system.

        In this paper, a new prognostic index to detect the severity of asthma by processing capnogram signals is presented. Previous studies have shown significant correlation between the capnogram and asthmatic patient. However, most of them used conventional time-domain methods and based on assumption that the capnogram is a stationary signal. In this study, by using linear predictive coding (LPC) coefficients and autoregressive (AR) modelling (Burg method), the capnogram signals are processed. Then, a number of six features including α1, and α4 from LPC and power spectral density (PSD) parameters through AR modelling are extracted. After that, by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the effectiveness of the extracted features to differentiate between asthmatic and nonasthmatic conditions is justified. Finally, selected features are used in a Gaussian radial basis function (GRBF) network. The output of this network is an integer prognostic index ranging from 1 to 10 (depends on the severity of asthma) with an average good detection rate of 90.15% and an error rate of 9.85%. In the other word, based on the results, sensitivity and specificity of this algorithm are 93.54% and 98.29%, respectively. This developed algorithm is purposed to provide a fast and low-cost diagnostic system to help healthcare professional involved in respiratory care as it would be possible to monitor severity of asthma automatically and instantaneously.

        One of the most effective strategies for steam generator efficiency enhancement is to improve the control system. For such an improvement, it is essential to have an accurate model for the steam generator of power plant. In this paper, an industrial steam generator is considered as a nonlinear multivariable system for identification. An important step in nonlinear system identification is the development of a nonlinear model. In recent years, artificial neural networks have been successfully used for identification of nonlinear systems in many researches. Wavelet neural networks (WNNs) also are used as a powerful tool for nonlinear system identification. In this paper we present a time delay neural network model and a WNN model in order to identify an industrial steam generator. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed models in the system identification and demonstrate that the WNN model is more precise to estimate the plant outputs. Manuscript profile

        Given the importance of using steel fibers in reinforcement of concrete, in the present study using artificial neural networks to predict the behavior of hook -shaped steel fibers from concrete. Due to the constraint of comprehensive laboratory data, data obtained from limited element analysis has been used as neural network input. The fibers are used to simulate the fiber and the Abacus software. In the limited element model, the interactions between fibers and concrete are simulated using the concept of the transitional area of the common surface whose parameters are obtained using the reversed limited element method and the use of the out -of -the -way experimental test results on a fiber sample. After assessment of the numerical model results with the empirical results, the results were extracted for effective parameters of the fibers and based on them using neural networks. Forecasting of the outburst has been carried out by the Multi-Layer Artificial Neural Networks and the Rear Publishing Algorithm, with Marcoradet-Clberg optimization techniques. The results show that the neural network model presented in this study, due to the ability to use more variables in modeling and more accurate results, is an effective way to predict the fiber's extrusion force.

        In the present research, design of a strong and online adaptive controller in the active cable control system is discussed to overcome the earthquake vibrations of multi-story buildings. Considering all variables as unknown, this study introduces a new type 2 adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller. Using the MLP neural network (multi-layer perceptrons), Jacobian and the structural system estimation are extracted. This estimated structural system model is implemented into the online controller system in the next step. Adaptive controllers are tuned using a post-propagation algorithm and Extended Kalman Filter and are thus able to control and tune the controllers and the cable system. In this method, a PID controller is also used, which increases the strength and stability of the adaptive neural-fuzzy controller system two against earthquake vibrations. The superiority of the proposed controller system over an online simple adaptive controller is also demonstrated. This controller is utilized as an implicit reference model. In this proposed method, Extended Kalman Filter is innovatively used to tune online controllers. In this research, the performance of both controllers is investigated under the far and near fault field pressures. Based on the numerical results, the adaptive neural-fuzzy controller performs about 21% better than the online simple adaptive controller in minimizing the seismic responses of the structure during an earthquake and reaching the control criteria when the parametric characteristics of the structure change.

        The goal of the present research is to propose a novel adaptive fractional order PID (AFOPID) controller whose parameters are tuned online by five exclusive multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks using the extended Kalman filter (EKF). An MLP neural network that is trained using the Back Propagation (BP) error algorithm is considered to identify the structural system and estimate the plant. The Jacobian of the model estimated online is utilized to apply to the controller. Considering the adaptive interval type-2 fuzzy neural networks (IT2FNN) and this issue that the compensator is tunned by EKF and feedback error learning strategy (FEL), the stability and robustness of this controller are increased against the estimation error, seismic disturbances, and some unknown nonlinear functions. In order to validate, the performance of the proposed controller is investigated on a 3-story nonlinear benchmark building equipped with semi-active dampers under far and near field earthquakes. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed controller equipped with a compensator in reducing seismic responses, the evaluation indices were discussed and compared with previous studies. The numerical results represent the substantial efficiency of the proposed adaptive controller (AFOPID) over the previous controllers such that J2 in the Hachinohe and Northridge earthquakes enhanced by up to 35% and more than 40%, respectively. In general, all indices ( J3  to J6 ) have experienced a considerable enhancement using the proposed method. Manuscript profile

        شبکه­های عصبی مصنوعی الگوریتم­های آموزشی و مدل­های ریاضی هستند که توانایی تقلید از مغز انسان در پردازش اطلاعات را دارند و می­توانند داده­های پیچیده و غیر خطی را مورد استفاده قرار دهند. هدف این پژوهش مقایسه شبکه عصبی مصنوعی و مدل­های رگرسیونی برای پیش‌بینی وزن بدن در بز کرکی راینی بود. داده­های 1389 بز برای وزن بدن، ارتفاع جدوگاه، طول بدن و قفسه سینه مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. مدل­های رگرسیونی مختلف با تمام فاکتورهای ثابت برای بیشتر حالت­های ممکن و با درجه­های مختلف محاسبه شدند و دو شبکه عصبی مصنوعی با لایه­های مخفی متفاوت، توابع آموزش و توابع انتقال گوناگون استفاده شدند. در نهایت، مدل پرسپترون چند لایه با یک لایه مخفی به همراه نرون­ها انتخاب و استفاده شد. همبستگی بین وزن بدن و اندازه‌گیری­هایش نشان داد که می­توان از اندازه­های بدن برای پیش‌بینی وزن بدن استفاده کرد و هرچه اندازه­های بیشتری استفاده شوند پیش‌بینی دقیق­تری انجام خواهد شد. براساس پارامترهای R2و MSE، بهترین معادله رگرسیون فیت شده برای پیش‌بینی وزن بدن با استفاده از اندازه‌گیری­های ابعاد بدن انتخاب شد. در حالیکه هر سه اندازه در مدل اثر معنی‌داری داشتند (0001/0P<)، ارتفاع جدوگاه بالاترین ضریب را داشت (65/0)، بنابراین می­تواند بیشترین اثر را در پیش‌بینی داشته باشد. مقایسه دو مدل نشان داد که هر دو مدل می­توانند به خوبی وزن بدن را، نزدیک به وزن واقعی آن پیش‌بینی کنند، اما توانایی شبکه عصبی مصنوعی بالاتر است (R2 برای شبکه عصبی مصنوعی 86/0 و برای مدل­های رگرسیونی 76/0) و به ورن واقعی بدن نزدیک­تر می­باشد. با این وجود، اگر اندازه­های مرتبط بیشتری رکورد‌برداری شوند می­توان نتایج مطلوب­تری را با شبکه عصبی مصنوعی به دست آورد. بنابراین، از شبکه عصبی مصنوعی می­توان به جای روش­های سنتی مرسوم برای پیش‌بینی وزن واقعی بدن با استفاده از اندازه­های بدن استفاده کرد.

        More rainfall in arid and semi-arid just evaporate into the atmosphere and so estimates the amount of water vapor in the water cycle will be important. Evaporation is dependent on various parameters and to its estimate needs for a different climate variables and the interaction of these variables is very complex, so it must be accurate methods to be used in the evaporation study. In this study, artificial neural networks were used to estimate the pan evaporation of Dez regulating dam station. As ANN hyperbolic tangent function and the learning momentum was used. Multilayer Perceptron structure which used a network of six input neurons, three hidden layer and an output neuron was formed. Input layers include maximum temperature, minimum temperature, sunshine hours, average wind speed, relative humidity and an average rate of evaporation from water surface to the output layer. The relationship between climatic factors showed that the average temperature on the surface evaporation caused more than sunshine and wind speed. High coefficient of determination (92/0) between the actual data with simulated data with artificial neural network plus a small error (RMSE = 1.41) showed that the estimate accuracy is very high. Verification by t-test revealed no significant (P> 0.01) differences were between actual and estimated values. Manuscript profile

        For more accurate measurement of the water flow, it has been always attempted to design structures with least errors and highest accuracy. Nowadays, the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) models has been rapidly grew mainly due to the fact that these models are not confined to the physical parameters. Artificial neural networks are based on use of embedded knowledge between input and output variables of a problem, regardless of physical aspects and these networks are able to extract inherent relation of the input and output and they can generalize the obtained relation to other situations and cases. In the present research, the information related to the overflow of Marun Storage Dam was adopted. The input parameters of ANN model are as follows: day, month, water surface elevation, water sharing percent and output parameters overflow discharge of storage dam.

        In the present study, the drought of Siminehroud basin was investigated by intelligent Support Vector Machine (SVM) models, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Wavelet theory (W). Data from six rain gauge stations in the region were used and drought index was calculated in four time scales. The first-order autocorrelation was also selected as the optimal delay. Then the appropriate structure of the Artificial Neural Network was determined using Trial and Error Method and the three coefficients of the SVM model were determined and modeled. The results of evaluating individual models showed that there is no significant difference between two methods in predicting droughts. Then WANN and WSVM hybrid models were prepared. The results showed that the application of Wavelet theory greatly improved the performance of individual models and the amount of RMSE and MAE indices decreased by 19% and 21% and the correlation coefficient increased by 30%, respectively.

        Abstract- Water discharge is a term in the water industry that refers to the amount of water that passes through a certain point per unit of time. Discharge rate is the amount of water that passes through a specific point such as a river,, water channel, dam valve, pipe or any other structure such as a faucet cartridge in a unit of time. In the metric system, water discharge rate is expressed in terms of cubic meters per second, cubic meters per hour, or liters per second. The unit of cubic meters per second is used for large flows such as rivers and large canals, and the unit of liters per second is used for the flow of water in wells and water that enters leaks. Measuring the discharge of the river has many effects on people's lives. Knowing the amount of water entering the areas of a river's catchment area is very important in agriculture, potential risks to human and animal life, industries, etc. Therefore, predicting river discharge can lead to effective management and prevent serious damage in the mentioned areas. According to the mentioned cases, the purpose of the presented paper is to predict the river discharge using deep learning techniques. In order to do this, the discharge of the Zayandeh Rood River at Qala Shahrokh station has been investigated and predicted using two techniques - ANFIS and LSTM. The simulation results show 93% to 94% accuracy in predicting the discharge of the studied river. Manuscript profile

        Gas turbines are complex and expensive machines that the cost of repairing unexpected failures is very high. There are many sensors installed in each gas turbine that record and collect large amounts of data. With the data mining of such big data, failure prediction is possible before the occurrence. The data set for the present study is the recorded quantities of sensors mounted on a 9-frame gas turbine in one of the country's power plants. The one column of data matrix rows was first labeled to identify healthy and defective row in each data sample. Then, by using the Principal Component Analysis method, the dimensions of the data matrix were reduced from seven to four dimensions and the main features were extracted. Following this, a model was developed by applying Artificial Neural Network method that was able to identify fault rows in the data matrix and identify the class of the data samples as healthy or defective. Accuracy, precision, and convergence of the model for two-to-six-dimensional model reductions were studied after machine learning was performed on 80% of the data. After matrix dimensionality reduction, and feature extraction by using "Principal Component Analysis" method, our well-designed model was also able to identify and classify the fault by using "Artificial Neural Network" method. In this thesis, it was found that our mode l by combining "Principal Component Analysis" method with "Artificial Neural Network" was able to show more than 90% precision with good accuracy and maximum degree of data matrix convergence. Moreover, it was able to specify the gas turbine fault class.     Manuscript profile

        Transportation is one of the most important constituent parts of urban life that determines the shape and way of social and economic development of the city. In this regard, the quality of transportation in Hamadan city, which can be very useful in its development, was considered. The nonparametric regression model and artificial neural network were used to assess the citizens' satisfaction from the transportation system. For this purpose, first, a questionnaire was developed based on three main indicators (equipment and facilities status, physical status, management status, and service delivery). Citizens' perspective was gathered. Then, using a nonparametric regression model, independent indicators and satisfaction as an independent variable were used. The correlation and root mean square of the output errors of this model were 0.914 and 0.334 respectively. In another approach, using an artificial neural network, a model with three intrinsic neuron structures, one hidden layer and one output neuron was constructed. The output correlation of this model was 0.998 and the mean square error of the error was about 6 times lower than regression model. The results showed that the neural network model with both linear and nonlinear correlation estimates is more versatile and more suitable than nonparametric regression. On the other hand, price indices with coefficient (0.885), equality and welfare with (0.795) and decrease in demand for travel (0.790) are the most effective indicators for citizens' satisfaction with urban transport network.

        The aim of this research was to forecast the proportion and production of chamomile essential oils by employing an artificial neural network system reliant on specific soil physicochemical characteristics. Various chamomile cultivation sites were explored, and 100 soil samples were transported to the greenhouse. The pH, EC, K, OM (organic matter), CCE (calcium carbonate equivalent), and clay content in the soils ranged from 8.75 to 7.94, 1.6 to 1.0, 381 to 135, 2.30 to 0.22, 69 to 16, and 55.6 to 32.0, respectively. Growth parameters, essential oil percentage, and yield were measured. The artificial neural network modeling aimed to predict essential oil concentration and yield using three sets of soil properties as predictors: Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and clay; pH, EC, organic matter (OM), and clay; CCE, clay, silt, sand, N, P, K, OM, pH, and EC. Consequently, three pedotransfer functions (PTFs) were formulated using the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with the Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm to estimate chamomile essential oil content. The evaluation of results indicated that the third PTF (PTF3), developed using all independent variables, exhibited the highest accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, the findings suggested the feasibility of predicting chamomile essential oil concentration and yield based on soil physicochemical properties. This has significant implications for land suitability assessments, identifying areas conducive to chamomile cultivation, and planning for essential oil yields. Manuscript profile

        . Abstract The purpose of this study is investigating the capability of Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) in more accurately predicting the financial distress by-using intra-corporate (financial and non-financial) and economic variables. The method of this research is improving the performance of the basic model of Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (ANN-MLP) by-using a hybrid model with GOA (MLP-GOA) and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm (MLP-ACO). The statistical research population of companies active in Tehran Stock Exchange during a 7-year period (from 1391 to 1397) included 476 companies, and finally, after systematic elimination, there were 289 qualified companies (including 2023 observation year-company). Checked and screened. The results showed the ability of ANN-MLP model to predict financial distress by-using financial and non-financial variables, and in addition the hybrid models (MLP-GOA and MLP-ACO) had been improved this ability. The accuracy of the MLP-GOA model for the year t, year t-1and year t-2 (before financial distress occurs), respectively are 97.30%, 94.53% and 91.30% that higher than the accuracy of the basic model and the hybrid MLP-ACO model. Although, entering the economic variables has increased the capability of all models significantly but the results showed that the financial distress is more affected by intra-corporate variables and the effect of economic variables has already been considered through the effect on financial events recorded in the accounting system. The results of this study can be used by company managers, banks and rating and credit institutions, insurance companies, financial analysts, investors and investment companies in assessing the risk of financial distress to make appropriate decisions and actions.

        Abstract Since the inflation has numerous effects on various aspects of economic and social, many economists believe the importance of inflation is higher than other economic indicators.With this approach, in this study the effective factors on main forming groups of Iran’s inflation in the Fourth Development Plan identified and have been examined. For achieve this target, among the twelve main forming groups of consumer price index (CPI), the important forming groups of CPI have been identified using Neural Network Sensitivity Analysis. Then by definition the causes and origins of inflation in Iran using various economic theories and domestic studies, the effects of these factors has been studied on the main commodity groups of CPI. The result of this study showed, among the main groups of commodities, Food and beverage group (Group 1), Housing ‌, water, electricity, gas and other fuels Group (Group 4) and transport group (Group 7) were more important Compared to the other groups. So that, these groups explained 15.22%, 13.19% and 12.23% of the total change in the CPI during the period under review, respectively. The results of this study indicated the commodities of group 1 have been most affected by changes in liquidity, exchange rates and the GDP gap. Also commodities of group 4 and 7 have been most impressed by the rate of return on rent housing in urban areas and liquidity, inflation expectations and exchange rate, respectively Manuscript profile

        Since the highly complicated Time Series such as Stock Market Prices are usually stochastic, their changes are assumed to be unpredictable. Some tests which have been used to study the statistical observations related to the economical variables e.g. Stock Market Price, are often go wrong while encountering the chaotic data and recognize them as stochastic ones, though these data are actually generated from the deterministic systems which bear few tribulations. For this reason the predictable and non-linear tests such as HURST, BDS, Runs Test, and Correlation Dimension have been used to study the existence of deterministic chaotic trend and non-linear process in Time Series of Daily Stock Market Price Index of TEHRAN STOCK EXCHANGE from 23 rd October, 2000 to 24 th September, 2002. The result of the above mentioned tests shows the predictability and the existence of a non-linear process in the sample data. After the illustration of predictability and the non-linear process in daily stock index data, then the linear time series models (AR), non-linear (GARCH) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) have been estimated to present a suitable model for predicting the Stock Price Index. Comparing the potential of predictability of these models by such criteria as: CDC, RMSE, MAE, MAPE and U-THEIL inequality coefficient, it has been revealed that there is the highest potential of predictability in Artificial Neural Network models than the other ones Manuscript profile

        Abstract With the increasing popularity and widespread use of cryptocurrencies, the creation and development of methods for predicting price movements in this field has attracted a lot of attention. In between, recent developments in deep learning (DL) models with structures such as long-short-term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) have made improvements in the analysis of this type of data. Another approach that can be effective in the analysis of cryptocurrencies time series is the decomposition through algorithms such as complete integrated empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD). Considering the importance of forecasting in the cryptocurrencies field, in this research, by combining deep learning models and complete integrated empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD), The hybrid CEEMD-DL(LSTM) model has been used to forecast the bitcoin return (as the most popular currency). In this regard, the daily data of the total index of the Tehran Stock Exchange was used in the period of 2013/01/01 – 2022/05/28 and the results obtained were compared with the results of competing models based on efficiency measurement criteria. Based on the obtained results, the use of the introduced model (CEEMD-DL(LSTM)) has increased the efficiency and accuracy of bitcoin return forecasting. Accordingly, the use of this model in this field is suggested.   Manuscript profile

         AbstractLack of liquidity management of banks is one of the most important risks for any bank and lack of attention to liquidity risk leads to irreparable consequences. Preventing liquidity risk requires a comprehensive measurement method but liquidity risk is complicated issue, and this complexity makes it difficult to provide a proper definition. In addition, defining liquidity risk determinants and formulation of the related objective function to measurement its value is a difficult task. To address these problems and assess liquidity risk and its key factors, in this study we propose a model that uses artificial neural networks and Bayesian networks. Design and implementation of this model includes several algorithms and experiments to validate the model. In this paper, we have used Levenberg-Marquardt and Genetic optimization algorithms to teach artificial neural networks. We have also implemented a case study in Bank Mellat to demonstrate the feasibility, efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of the research liquidity risk measurement model.  Manuscript profile

        Credit risk is the probability of default of the borrower or the counterparty of the bank in fulfilling its obligations, according to the agreed terms. In other words, uncertainty about receiving future investment income is called risk, which is of great importance in banks. The purpose of this article is to estimate the credit risk of individual and corporate customers. In this study, the statistical information of 400 individual customers and7500 corporate customers was used. In this regard, the results of neural network model and support vector machine model have been compared. The obtained results have shown that the components considered in this study based on their personal, financial and economic characteristics had significant effects on the probability of customer default and credit risk calculation. Also, the results of this study showed that the application of control policies at the beginning of the repayment period suggests facilities that have the highest probability of default with long life and high repayment. The comparison of the results of the prediction accuracy shows the higher explanatory power of the support vector machine model and the use of the survival probability function than the simple neural network model for both groups of customers.

        The purpose of this research is designing a credit rating model for issuers and tools for financing Islamic securities in the Iranian capital market. To do this, three major steps were taken. The first step was to identify the evaluation criteria or the risks associated with the Islamic securities, which was carried out by the experts and a review of theoretical basics. The second step, is modeling of Islamic securities using adaptive-network-based fuzzy approach in which the mean error of the training of all main and subset models was below the threshold. The third step is to apply adaptive fuzzy neural network modeling in credit rating of Islamic securities. In order to do this, the issuer’s ranking was used in the first stage and the results of the research showed that the issuer of the government had the least risk and private companies had the highest risk. In the second stage, for ranking financial instruments, the results showed that for issuer of government, treasury bonds had the lowest risk and forward bonds had the highest risk.

        By anticipating financial turmoil, it is possible to take the necessary precautions before financial distress occurs by managers and investors. This study compares two algorithms for prediction of bankruptcy using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Neural network optimized metaheuristic Firefly Algorithm (FA). To run test, first initial values are set for the network weights and biases and then during the optimization process, a population of different weights and biases is generated by FA algorithm. The conversion function used in the output layer is linear and for the middle layer a non-linear sigmoid function is selected. To conduct this research, the data of 79 companies listed on TSE during 2012 to 2015 were collected and analyzed statistically by backpropagation neural network and FA algorithms. The results show that FA, compared to ANN predicted the companies’ bankruptcy much better. Also, FA Algorithm maintains a good correlation between bankrupt and non-bankrupt companies, just like real data. Manuscript profile

        The concept of financial sustainability has been in the economic literature for nearly two decades. In the theoretical financial literature, firm financial sustainability can be described as a financial system consisting of financial intermediaries, markets, and market infrastructures that are capable of withstanding risk shocks and resolving financial imbalances. Therefore, according to the above argument, the purpose of the present study is to present a proposed model for measuring the financial sustainability of the company by using Econophysics and artificial neural network using a sample of 132 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during 2015-2019. The results of the first hypothesis show that the prediction of financial sustainability based on the Econophysics method can provide better results. Also, based on the result of the second hypothesis, the Bayesian method can predict better financial sustainability. Finally, by comparing the Econophysics and Bayesian approaches to predicting financial sustainability of the firm, it can be concluded that the prediction of financial sustainability based on the economophysical method yields better results than the Bayesian method.

        Stock price forecasting is a challenging and attractive topic. Investors are interested in being able to predict the price of different stocks in financial markets. This paper presents a hybrid model that predicts the final stock price for the next day based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) and Return Neural Network (RNN) algorithm using historical data and indicators. Then the results of this model and the status of market rumors enter the fuzzy expert system based on the output of the fuzzy neural system and the return neural network along with the market rumor status and finalize the forecast. The combined model proposed to predict the stock price data of Mobarakeh Steel Company of Isfahan was implemented. In this study, for research data, the data of Tehran Stock Exchange Company related to the stock data of Mobarakeh Steel Company of Isfahan from April 26, 2016 to March 20, 2017 has been used. Four technical indicators used in this study are: Moving Average(MA), Exponential Moving Average(EMA), Relative Strength Index(RSI), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence(MACD). These variables have been used as the input of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems(ANFIS) to predict the final price of the next day's shares. Manuscript profile

        Forecasting stock prices plays an important role in setting a trading strategy or determining the appropriate timing for buying or selling a stock. Deep Learning (DL) is a type of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that consists of multiple processing layers and enables high-level abstraction to model data. The key advantage of DL models is extracting the good features of input data automatically using a general-purpose learning procedure which is suitable for dynamic time series such as stock price.In this research the ability of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict the stock price is studied; moreover, the factors that have significant effects on the stock price is classified and legal and natural person trading is introduced as an important factor which has influence on the stock price. Price data, technical indexes and legal and natural person trading is used as an input data for running the model. The results obtained from LSTM with Dropout layer are better and more stable than simple form of LSTM and RNN models. Manuscript profile

        The stock market index is one of the effective features in investment because it can well reflect the health status and macro change trend of a country’s economic development. Various features affect the stock index. The various combinations of these features create a wide state space. Hence, it is impractical to provide a data set containing all these combinations to train the stock index prediction model. in this research, an attempt has been made, after collecting a significant number of effective features on the index, to provide a method for selecting appropriate features for the stock index prediction model with aim of increasing prediction accuracy. For this purpose, the mRMR algorithm is used as the basic algorithm. Also, to select the appropriate model, a number of the most applicable artificial intelligence models for predicting the stock index were compared and according to the results, the LSTM network was selected to predict the stock index. The results of this study show that using the LSTM network and the proposed method in selecting features, with 8 selected features, high accuracy can be achieved in the daily prediction of the Tehran Stock Exchange Index.

        Proper Ipo Valuation Companies entering the capital market for the first time are critical to both business owners and investors. But the valuation of these stocks is influenced by many quantitative and qualitative factors. Nonlinear intelligent systems such as neural networks and genetic algorithms are good tools for accurately predicting the initial stock value. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the IPO valuation model using genetic algorithm and compare the value of the proposed model with Op. For this purpose, data related to 421 companies were collected that during the years 2009 to 1397 had made an initial public offering of shares on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In order to analyze the data, the methods of regression, neural network and genetic algorithm have been used. The results showed that the Ipo valuation model using genetic algorithm is the optimal IPO valuation model. Also, the projected valuation, while close to the OP, while meeting the relative price increase, can meet the expectations of investors and business owners in a proper IPO valuation.

        Investment portfolio theory is an important foundation for portfolio management, which is a well-studied but not saturated topic in the academic community. Integrating return forecasting in investment portfolio formation can improve the performance of portfolio optimization model. Since machine learning models have shown a superiority over statistical models, in this research, a approach of forming the stock portfolio in two stages is presented. first step, by implementing neural network, suitable stocks are selected for purchase, in the second step, using the (MV) model, the optimal weight in investment portfolio is determined for them. In particular, the stages of selecting suitable stocks and forming a stock portfolio are the two main stages of the model developed in this research. first step, a convolutional neural network model is proposed to predict stock buy and sell points for the next period.second step, stocks that are labeled as buys are selected as stocks suitable for buying, and MV model is used to determine their optimal weight in the stock portfolio. The results obtained using 5 shares of Tehran stock market as a study sample show that the efficiency and Sharpe ratio of proposed method is significantly better than traditional methods (without filtering suitable stocks) Manuscript profile

        One of the most important issues of banking managers as an influential variable on the banking industry is the knowledge of the status of bank deposits that the bank depends on a large extent on it. Therefore, bank managers are keen to know how much the total bank deposits will be at a given time in the future. Predicting the amount of deposits, changes and fluctuations of these deposits can help banks in planning and decision making. In this research, using statistical techniques and approach of artificial neural network models, we have tried to introduce a model with the highest estimation power and the least amount of error to predict the amount of deposits or the same sources of finance by their different types for the desired bank. To test the hypotheses, one private bank information was used during the period of 1387-1396. In this research, we compared the predictive power of ARIMA and artificial neural network method. To assess the accuracy of forecasting the bank's resources, the ARIMA method used Coopiff and Christopherson tests.  The results of the research on the amount of bank deposits monthly showed that the neural network method provides better estimates than the ARIMA method.

        Due to the complexity of the stock market and the high volume of processable information, often using a simple system to predict cannot release appropriate results. Therefore, researchers have been trying to provide a system with less complexity and more efficiency and accuracy using hybrid models. nowadays various patters are used including statistical technique (discriminate analysis , logistic , analysis factors) and artificial intelligent techniques ( neural networks(NN) , decision trees , case based reasoning , genetic algorithm , rough sets , support vector machine , fuzzy logic ) and the combination of these two technique for predicating stock prices. For most predictive models, the system uses only one indicator to predict, but in the proposed model in this study, a two-level system of multilayered perceptron neural networks is presented which uses several indicators to predict. To do this, required information of Tehran Stock Exchange price indicators, for fiscal years 2012 - 2017 was collected. We also used the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm to select the best samples for better nerve network training and thus to improve the results.  The results show that the proposed model can operate with lower prediction error than other models.

        In this paper a stock trading system based on the combination of six technical indicators is designed. The indicators are combined using an artificial neural network and their parameters are optimized using convex combination-based optics-inspired optimization (COIO) algorithm. In the proposed model the technical indicators’ optimized parameters are obtained using both COIO and genetic algorithms with the aim of maximization of modified Sharpe ratio. The presented paper uses stock intra-day prices as input data and considers the transaction costs. The designed strategy is compared against several other approaches including: using the indicators’ default parameters, buy and hold strategy and optimization using genetic algorithm, for both daily and intra-day prices and due to a greater modified Sharpe ratio for the proposed model, its superiority is shown in all cases. Moreover, in a comparison based on end- of- period returns, it is shown that without considering the transaction costs the results of the intra-day data beats the results of the daily data while no superiority is observed when considering the transaction costs. So reducing the transaction costs is recommended to motivate traders to trade on an intra-day basis. Manuscript profile

        Artificial neural networks (ANN) are mathematical models inspired by human’s neural and brain system. This research deals with the next day price forecasting in Tehran’s stock market by MLP, and attempts, by various methods, to reduce the prediction error. High pricing of stocks may lead to low demand for negotiable stocks and the failure of privatization. Raising various doubts in the negotiation of public properties, low pricing results in the long-term failure of negotiation policies. With respect to the importance of this issue, the newness of stock market and the lack of financing institutes and investment banks in Iran, prediction of stock price trend and its ascending and descending order can influence the decisions and strategies of managers. Various variables affect stock prices among which the role of economic indices, such as exchange rate / oil price and gold price is significant. The purpose of the present study is to predict the final prices of stocks by utilizing daily data through neural networks. The results indicate that the ANN model has low error and high explanatory and thus considerable forecasting power. Manuscript profile

        Valuation and pricing of securities the process of estimating the value of securities is one of the initial shares of companies. Because, on the one hand, investors need to know in a conscious investment that knows the true value of the stock they are interested in investing in and on the other hand, the owners of companies that are going to sell their securities have to evaluate and value their assets in a proper manner. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explain the optimal model of evaluation and pricing of the initial public supply of shares of companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange using fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making techniques, stepwise regression, neural network and genetic algorithm. To this end, data on 421 companies were collected that during the years 2006 to 2018 launched a public offering of shares on the Tehran Stock Exchange. Fuzzy AHP method, forward regression, neural network and genetic algorithm are also used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that the genetic algorithm model is the optimal pricing model and initial stock valuation. Manuscript profile

        The Crash, which indicates how much specific stock prices are at risk of collapse. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to model the risk of falling stock price of listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange using a multivariate optimization algorithm for particle cumulative movement and comparing results with logistic regression. For this purpose, a hypothesis was developed for the study of this issue and the data for 106 members of the Tehran Stock Exchange for the period of 2010-2010 were analyzed. First, 14 independent variables were introduced as inputs of the combined genetic algorithm and artificial neural network, which was considered as a feature selection method, and 7 optimal variables were selected. Then, using particle cumulative algorithm and logistic regression, predicted The risk of falling stock prices. The stock price collapse criterion has been used to calculate the risk of falling stock prices. The research findings show that the particle agglomeration algorithm is more likely than traditional logistic regression to predict the risk of falling stock prices. These findings underscore the need for managers to use meta-metric methods for forecasting. Manuscript profile

        The stock exchange is one of the financial instruments of countries around the world. The recession in this market can have important effects, for example reducing liquidity, reducing the profitability of companies admitted to the stock exchange, and reducing economic growth. In this paper, we are looking for extraction and prediction of time cycles in the stock market. Initially, using the total stock index and the MSI (3) AR (2) model, three cycles of recession, medium prosperity and high prosperity are extracted in the stock market. Then the most important predictor variables are determined by using the integration of the NSGA (II) algorithm and the three types of neural network models and predicted the market situation for the next three months. Finally, the performance of three types of multilayer perceptron neural network, radial basis and probable network were compared in terms of feature selection and prediction of future market situation. The results indicate that all three models  have  acceptable  error  rates,  accuracy,  and Kappa  coefficients, and the probable network model has lower error rate, more accuracy and kappa coefficient than other models.

        Price forecasting is one of the most challenging issues that the speculators, traders and brokers are faced with. On the other hand in interval analysis it is supposed that observations and estimations in the real world are not complete and reliable so to increase the accuracy we should describe the data as the intervals that includes real quantities. Various methods are used in order to model the time series such as price. Autoregressive integration moving average (ARIMA), which is known as box-Jenkins method is one of the most commonly used models in forecasting of time series during the past three decades. But the main assumption is that there is a linear relationship between the values of the series therefore nonlinear relationships cannot be explained completely by using autoregressive integration moving average (ARIMA). Another method in time series forecasting is neural network which can estimate the various nonlinear relationship (called neural network universal estimating) but according to the literature, using network will have complicated results. Since it is difficult to understand the linear and nonlinear data pattern in reality, this idea will come to mind that the combination of linear and nonlinear models could increase the accuracy of forecasting. So in this research the linear part will be estimated by ARIMA and then the non-linear residuals will be modeled by neural network and finally the predicted result will be added to ARIMA in order to forecast the low, high and close price of gold .comparing the accuracy of the hybrid model to ARIMA and neural network  by pair compared, Diebold-Mariano and Harvey-Newbold –Leybourn test and two criteria (MSE and MAE) showed that the hybrid model presented better performance.

        Exchange rate prediction is an important economic variable of interest to the economic actors. Technical approach is one of the commonly used approaches to forecasting, which uses the past behavior of the exchange rate for prediction. However, given the chaotic and non-linear structure of financial markets, the market forecasting cannot be done using a certain and simple method obtained by combining different technical tools and more sophisticated methods are required. In recent decades, neural networks have been employed as one of the most widely used methods in classification, pattern recognition and prediction of complex time series. In this research, a multilevel neural network model was provided to predict the euro-dollar exchange rate, which predicts the price on the next day with an appropriate accuracy by utilizing the data and variables derived from the technical analysis. The results demonstrated the proper function of this method versus other conventional methods of technical analysis and neural network. Manuscript profile

        قابلیت جذب انرژی سازه­های جدار نازک با مقاطع مختلف همواره مورد توجه محققان بوده است. این سازه­ها بعنوان جاذب­های انرژی در صنایع مختلف از جمله اتومبیل­سازی و هوافضا مورد استفاده وسیعی قرار می­گیرند و سبب حفاظت از سرنشینان و محوله­ها در حین برخورد می­شوند. در این مقاله رفتار مکانیکی سازه­های جدار نازک از جنس آلومینیوم با فوم پرکننده پلی یورتان و بدون فوم تحت بارگذاری محوری ضربه­ای بررسی شده است. سازه­ها از نوع خیلی نازک می­باشند بطوریکه برای نمونه استوانه­ای رابطه (D/t) ≈ 550 برقرار است. تحلیل اجزا محدود و شبیه­سازی توسط نرم افزار LS-DYNA انجام شده است. سازه­های جدار نازک دارای مقاطع دایروی، شش ضلعی و چهار ضلعی با طول، ضخامت و اندازه محیط مقطع یکسان می­باشند. نتایج حاصل از پژوهش بیانگر آن است که سازه با مقطع دایروی از مقاطع چهار گوش و شش گوش انرژی بیشتری جذب می­نماید در حالیکه تغییر طول کمتری را تجربه می­کند. بعلاوه می­توان اثرات تمرکز تنش را در کنج­های مقاطع مربع و شش ضلعی بر روی جداره سازه­ها مشاهده کرد. همچنین سازه با مقطع دایروی به صورت متقارن­تر تحت بارگذاری دینامیکی فشرده می­گردد درحالیکه سازه­های جدار نازک با مقاطع شش و چهار ضلعی تمایل به کمانش دارند. در پایان نیز معماری از یک شبکه عصبی مصنوعی ارائه شده است تا با کمک آن و بهره­گیری از داده­های LS-DYNA  بتوان رفتار جذب انرژی و نیروی این سازه­ها را در قالب مدلی در شبکه عصبی بیان نمود. نتایج مدل پیشنهادی در مقایسه با نتایج تحلیلی نرم­افزار LS-DYNA دقت قابل قبولی داشتند Manuscript profile

        In this research, earthquake prediction and hazard risk analysis in Azerbaijan region have been done using neural network method. The forecasting approach is based on the use of artificial intelligence based on seismic data from previous times over a period of 100 years. Five characteristics of an earthquake event are extracted from data from previous years. The earthquake prediction model is based on five selected features with three different algorithms with feed forward neural network. Validation results indicate the high ability of the model to predict earthquakes in the study area. The results of the created models have been used to analyze the risk in the region of Azerbaijan. According to the obtained results, the region of Azerbaijan is prone to high earthquakes, which necessitates strict observance of standards in the construction of buildings. The results of the present study show that the Bayesian algorithm has the best performance in predicting earthquake risk. Manuscript profile

        Short-term runoff forecasting is of particular importance due to its direct relationship with how managers interact with life risks caused by floods. In this research, by using artificial neural networks, simulation of rainfall-runoff process has been done on a daily basis in the Nasa Bam watershed. In order to predict the future process of using the water resources of the mentioned plain, different combinations of rainfall and temperature data and discharge and discharge difference of two consecutive days were used. The number of hidden layer neurons in the neural network varied between 2 and 10 neurons. The statistical criteria of root mean square error RMSE, mean absolute value of error MAE and correlation coefficient R were used to evaluate and compare the performance of neural networks in runoff forecasting. The results showed that by having 2 inputs and feedforward neural network or 1 input and newrbe network, the best performance was achieved and the rainfall-runoff process was predicted with higher accuracy.

        As steel fibers are important reinforcement materials in concrete, in this study, the behavior of hook-shaped steel fibers from concrete is predicted through the use of artificial neural networks. In the absence of comprehensive laboratory data, data obtained from finite element analysis was used for modeling. The simulations are carried out using ABAQUS software's finite element method in 3D. Using the concept of the transition zone of the interface, whose parameters were obtained by inverse finite element analysis and experimental tests conducted on a sample of fibers, this model has been developed to simulate the interaction between fibers and concrete. On the basis of the results of the numerical model validated against the experimental results, the effective parameters of the fibers were extracted, and a neural network was then constructed based on the results. A multilayer forward perceptron artificial neural network and back-propagation training algorithm are used to predict pull-out force, with Marquardt-Lonberg optimization applied. The results demonstrate that the neural network model presented in this research is an effective method for predicting the pull-out force of fibers from concrete, in part because it allows the use of more variables in modeling, as well as delivering more accurate results.

        In geotechnical engineering, the modulus of deformation (Em) is actually the ratio of stress to strain. The application of this module is in the fields of dam construction, tunnel construction, road construction, etc. Today, there are various methods to obtain the deformation modulus, among which we can refer to in-situ tests (loading plate-dilatometry), laboratory tests, and practical relationships. Also, there are different methods to predict and determine the relationships between several different parameters, which can be referred to regression analysis and artificial neural network. The main goal of the present research is to provide a new relationship to predict the modulus of deformation of rocks before performing the dilatometry test with the least error. The results of the studies have shown that neural network modeling is more efficient than regression analysis in all input independent variables, and it has a higher level of confidence only with the input of Q parameter to the regression analysis equation. Also, by comparing these two methods, it was found that the more the number of input variables, the better the neural network works. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to forecast nominal and real price of sugar beet and to compare forecasting ability of artificial neural network method with other forecasting methods. The stationary of the series was tested and then, in order to investigate whether series are stochastic, nonparametric test of Vald-Wulfowitz and parametric test of Durbin-Watson were applied. Based on the above tests results, nominal price of sugar beet were recognized non-stochastic and predictable, while the real price series was found stochastic. The study period covers 1971-2005. The models used for forecasting were autoregressive, moving average, ARIMA, Single and Double exponential smoothing, harmonic, ARCH and artificial neural network. Based on the lowest forecasting error criterion, harmonic model forecasted nominal price of sugar beet with lowest forecasting error. The amount of nominal series forecasted by different models was at range of 344000-396000 and 398000-448504 rials per ton for 2004 and 2005, respectively. The happened values of nominal price series for 2004 and 2005 were 387200 and 447000 rials per ton, respectively. Manuscript profile
