The primary air pollutants include nitrogen oxides, with a particular emphasis on nitrogen dioxide, sulfur oxides, especially sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, and suspended particles. Ahvaz, a metropolis in Iran, stands out as one of the most polluted cities. Effective environmental management, particularly in addressing air pollution, is of paramount importance. This research aims to predict the concentration of CO pollutants in Ahvaz city for the first seven days of 2015. Materials and Methods: Based on previous studies, meteorological variables including weather, air temperature and wind speed were selected as gas input titles in the network for gas prediction. CO gas was procured in 2014 through the Environmental Protection Organization of Ahvaz city. In order to develop the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network, Neuro Solution5 software was used to create the neural network, 70% of the data was used for training (validation), 15% for testing, and the remaining 15% for validating the results of the network. is used. was used. Results and Discussion: In order to determine the best MLP network structure for short-term prediction of CO gas concentration, different structures were considered in terms of the number of intermediate layers, the type of network training algorithm, the type of transfer function, the number of intermediate layer neurons and the number of repetitions (Epoch) of training. The results showed that the MLP network with a structure of 1-5-3 (that is, 3 input neurons, 5 neurons in the middle layer and one neuron for the output layer) with 1500 repetitions of training per Tansig transfer function (Tansant Sigmoid) and Traingdm training algorithm (reduction gradient with momentum), is the best MLP network. In addition, the values of NSE, RMSE and MAE statistical indices for the network training stage are equal to 0.72, 0.22 and 0.15 respectively. Conclusion: Air pollution, the primary environmental challenge in Ahvaz, arises from the intersection of traffic and the oil industry. Its impacts on health and the environment necessitate comprehensive investigation. In this study, an MLP network was employed to predict CO gas concentration values in the air of Ahvaz city. The findings demonstrate that the network's accuracy and performance in forecasting CO gas concentration are at an optimal level. As this research progresses, it is recommended to extend the prediction to other gaseous pollutants and to employ optimization algorithms for determining the optimal structure of the artificial neural network Manuscript profile -

It is important to assess the accuracy of these algorithms in providing suitable recommendations. Our research demonstrates that the presence of individuals and acquaintances within social networks influences user behavior in ways that are largely psychological. Many user actions on a post are influenced by their respect or closeness to the post's owner. This article explores how the predictability of user behavior towards posts from friends and acquaintances highlights the impact of emotional connections stemming from stable social relationships on post acceptance. It also raises concerns about the potential for incorrect recommendations in algorithms based on collaborative filtering due to data bias caused by these factors. Manuscript profile -

This article introduces a comprehensive approach to enhance user profiling accuracy and increase precision in web page recommendations. It initiates this process by introducing an innovative feature called "user engagement duration with web pages," significantly aiding in improving user profiles. Leveraging these enriched profiles facilitates predicting a user's next web page visit. Evaluating this model, comparison with a scenario lacking this new feature demonstrates a substantial increase in prediction accuracy upon its inclusion. Additionally, we delve into cluster analysis, employing k-means and k-medoids algorithms, where k-medoids demonstrate greater diversity in sample clustering. The paper establishes the superiority of using k-medoids in this domain and emphasizes the importance of determining optimal cluster sizes. Ultimately, this research culminates in developing a web recommendation system capable of highly accurate predictions regarding the user's next web destination. Hence, the proposed approach enhances the model's precision in recommending links to users and promises further advancements in this field. Manuscript profile -

Different models are used for the prediction of bankruptcy and the evaluation of organizational financial situation. Environmental changes and increasing competition among agencies led to companies' and organizations' limited access to expected profit. Thus, financial decision making is, nowadays, more and more important, forcing managers to apply modern control methods through sophisticated techniques. The present study aims to evaluate the performance of companies' situation. For this purpose, we use the two models of data envelopment analysis and Zemijsky and compare results derived from them. The research data were gathered from 10 accepted in stock market. Results from data envelopment analysis model indicated that only one company was in a proper financial situation while results from Zemijsky's model showed that there were two companies in good financial condition. We also managed to develop strategies for the improvement of financial situation in other companies using data envelopment analysis model. Manuscript profile -

However, some times there is a need to analyze the event occurance probability in correlation with a series of predicted events. The Cross Impact Analysis method is the key to this problem. Requiring more complex statistical processing to achieve the results, the Cross Impact Analysis method, like the Delphi method, is based on the experts opinions. The main approach in this method is to determine the event occurance probability or various driver forces seperately and ask the experts opinions for the event occurance probability in case of other event occurances and their cross impact. In advanced methods of this analysis, discussed in this study, event occurance probability is reviewed in the chain of reasons between events. Thus, a matrix of the primary probabilities and conditional probabilities and directed event cross impact relations and driving forces is designed. The common methods of this analysis defines rules based on the two logic of probabilities and structures relations for the events impacts on each other. However, both methods are not used for the cross impacts. In this study, authors presented a new method of correlation logic to cover both positive and negative impacts of events on each other using a review on available methods of cross impact analysis.

The behavior of this index is nonlinear and chaotic that traditional methods do not predict accurately. Hence, using the above two tools and identifying three macroeconomic variables including inflation rate, exchange rate and crude oil price as independent variables, we predicted the index of the total stock index for the next week. Then, the modeling was performed using the above three variables. By comparing the results, ANFIS performance was better than fuzzy regression. The Root Mean Square Error Performance criterion was obtained for the ANFIS output of 0.021248. The prediction of the next week showed an error reduction for both tools and ANFIS again with an error value of 0.007933, yielded superior performance of the study. Also, the model with four inputs was more accurate compared to the model with three inputs. The emphasis on using macroeconomic variables, predicting the next week's index number, using the two tools mentioned, analyzing the sensitivity of the models during the research are the characteristics of this research. This research can be used by all companies in the stock exchange, investors, brokers, and individuals and legal entities dealing in any way with the stock market. Manuscript profile -

In order to eliminate the disadvantages of traditional models, in the present study using a new time-variable method called generalized autoregressive score (GAS) in order to predict the distribution of return of the total index of the stock exchange during the period 2010 to 2020 and for Bitcoin during the period 2014 to 2020. The results of modeling for the two assets by the new GAS model are compared with the results of the GARCH and AR models and their performance is tested for inside and outside the sample. The results show that in order to predict the daily return, the overall index of the new GAS model has a better performance and in order to predict the daily return of bitcoin, the GARCH model has been preferred.

In the end, we concluded that some of the resultsof accomplished studies, support the use of market-related indicators in order topredict the financial distress.Other results, however, show that the accuracy of the predictive power of thefinancial distress depends on the extent to which bank liabilities are market traded. Itmeans that if the bank undertakes to offer accurate data to the market, then a muchbetter prediction can be made based on the bank data. Manuscript profile -

In this study, we presented a framework for measuring and predicting systemic risk in the capital market of Iran using conditional value at risk approach (CoVaR). On this basis, ΔCoVaR as a measure of systematic risk using quintile regression based on a set of state variables that indicates changes in the distribution of asset returns has been estimated. As well as to enhance the accuracy of the estimate, the research variables modeled after the conditional autoregressive value at risk model (CAViaR) has been developed and some Lagged firm specific characteristic has also been added. In order to test the validity of the model back testing methods have been used. On the other hand, The potential for systemic risk increases when volatility decreases (volatility paradox). In this study, we try to predict systemic risk by take advantage of the panel structure of the data and the relationship between ΔCoVaR and firm-specific variables that are available in certain sections.

Accordingly, the main objective of this study was to predict the per capita health expenditures trend in Iran. Methods: In this paper, we specified a health expenditure model relying on theoretical basics in order to obtain desirable forecasts. On the basis of three forms of linear, exponential and quadratic equations and using theoretical foundations in the field of per capita health expenditure function, we used genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to simulate Iranians per capita health expenditure during 1979-2015. Then we selected the superior model in terms of prediction power criteria and forecast per capita health expenditure until 2041. Also, the statistical analyzes were performed using the MATLAB software version R2016b. Results: The predicted results indicate that per capita health expenditures in Iran will increase with a positive slope by 2041. The amount of this expenditure will be from $ 1081 (based on 2011 constant prices) in 2015 to $ 2628 in 2041 (about 2.5 times). Conclusion: With regard to the projected amount of per capita health expenditures up to 2041 horizon, policy makers in the health sector should take the necessary measures to finance the expenditures of this sector.

Due to the fact that a lot of landslides events have been occurred in this watershed, assessment the risk of shallow landslides by using appropriate methods and determine of effective factors in reduce the hazards of it is so effective. The potential of using maximum entropy modeling for landslide susceptibility mapping is investigated. In the case study of west of Ardabil province, 74 landslide occurrences were identified, 52 landslides (70%) used for training and the 22 landslides (30%) applied for validation purpose. environmental factors including continuous (altitude, slope, aspect, plan curvature, drainage density, and rainfall) and categorical (lithology and landuse) data were used as inputs for modeling. From the optimal setting test based on cross-validation, a continuous data and its combination with categorical data showed the best predictive performance. The results of validation showed that the ROC and AUC for success and prediction rate of model was 96.1 and 97.6%, respectively. Factor contribution analysis indicated that altitude and rainfall layers were the most influential factors. From interpretations on a response curve, steeply sloping areas that consisted of excessively covered with old alluvial terrace soils were very susceptible to landslides. Predictive performance of maximum entropy modeling was slightly better than that other models like of a logistic regression which has been used widely to assess landslide susceptibility. Therefore, Maximum entropy modeling is shown to be an effective prediction model for landslide susceptibility mapping. Manuscript profile -

But the Lake has been gradually getting dried nowadays. If the Lake gets completely dried, irreparable environmental, economical and social damages would be appeared in the region. So, finding a practical solution for surviving the Urmia Lake is crucial. In the present research, it has been tried to predict the inflows of the rivers leading to the Urmia Lake, once based on the long term period’s recorded data and another time based on the recent dry period’s recorded data, by using autoregressive moving average (ARMA) time series models in order to exert the effects of the recent drought in the forecasted data. The ARMA models are developed in the MATLAB soft ware. After calibration of the created models, the predicted discharges of the basin’s rivers were entered into the simulation model of MODSIM in order to estimate the water consumptions in the basin's future condition and finally the entering flows to the Urmia Lake in each of two forecasting scenarios. Results show that in each of two forecasting scenarios of long and short periods, the environmental water right of the lake wouldn’t be supplied totally. Also, if the agricultural water consumptions would get reduced about 14% and 56% in long and short periods respectively, the lake’s water right would be supplied completely. Manuscript profile -

So, predicting drought indices and their chronological evaluation is an effective way for the drought management and adaptation with its consequences. In the current research, prediction of drought indices are carried out for Tabriz synoptic station, using support vector regression, multiple linear regression and standard precipitation index (SPI) for the time period of 1979 to 2012. In this regard, for predicting SPI indices in the periods of 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 months, six different input combinations including the antecedent correspondent values of the mentioned index have been utilized. The results of statistical analysis showed that both methods had significant accuracy. Nonetheless, the support vector regressions for predicting SPI-6, SPI-9 and SPI-24 had better performances, regarding the root mean squared errors of 0.4985, 0.4340 and 0.2427, respectively. However, the multiple linear regressions showed lower relative errors, for predicting SPI-3, SPI-12 and SPI-48. Meanwhile, it can be concluded that both examined methods including support vector and multiple linear regressions had acceptable predictions of drought index and can be used with an admissible confidentiality for the management of drought consequences.

In this case, estimating evapotranspiration is limited due to a lack of data and a deficiency of meteorological stations. Therefore, today numerical models such as WRF are a powerful tool for generating and predicting meteorological quantities (wind speed, humidity, etc.) that are needed to estimate evapotranspiration. So far, no research has been conducted to investigate the effect of different schemes of the WRF model on the estimate of rice evapotranspiration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the WRF model and obtain the result for estimating evaporation for rice plant in the central plain of Guilan.Method: Evapotranspiration rates vary from 2.7 to 8.5 mm per day. The average ET during three different periods of plant growth, including the initial, middle, and final periods, is estimated to be 4.63, 5.97, and 5.98 mm per day, respectively. The three configurations 1, 2, and 4 are mainly overestimated in predicting evapotranspiration of rice plants, and the computational values are estimated to be higher than the values measured by the lysimeter. The results show that the highest amount of RMSE occurred in configuration No. 4 at 8.47 and the lowest rate occurred in configuration No. 3 at 1.26. Summary of results shows that configuration No. 3 in all four criteria mentioned has performed better than other configurations to predict daily evapotranspiration of rice. The results showed that the non-local schema used in the model, simulates better than the local schemas for the daily evapotranspiration of the rice plant. Findings show that in the local YSU schema, the accuracy of predictions is significantly increased and is only 0.64 mm on average less than the estimated lysimetric data.Results: The results showed that using appropriate schemas in the surface layer and boundary layer of the WRF model, affects on accuracy of evapotranspiration predictions. The results of this study showed that, this model by using the YSU non-local boundary layer scheme can accurately predict the evapotranspiration rates of the rice plant for the next day and this is due to the higher ability of this schema in predicting the parameters affecting evapotranspiration (including temperature and wind). Therefore, the WRF model can be implemented by using GFS forecast data for the next few days and by applying the FAO-Penman-Monteith equations to the model outputs, the values of potential evapotranspiration for different regions of the country can be calculated. Since evapotranspiration is directly related to atmospheric thermodynamic processes, so using other different atmospheric physics schemas (not considered in this study) can produce different results.

Therefore, adaptation strategies should be taken to reduce drought damage, and in the meantime, planning and adaptation to drought conditions using drought forecasting is one of the most effective strategies. Due to the need for drought forecasting and the limited studies that evaluated drought indicators obtained from the rainfall forecast output from the North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) in Iran. This study evaluated these models in four catchments of Karkheh, Karun, Heleh, and Hindijan-Jarahi for1982-2018.Method: In this study, the monthly output of different NMME ensembles were evaluated in the forecast leads of 0 to 9 months from 1982 to 2018, the SPI drought index was calculated. Comparison of these data with GPCC data was used for evaluation. Three quantitative criteria, including correlation coefficient, RMSE, and BIAS, were used for evaluation. Also, to integrate the existing models, two methods: a: Arithmetic mean between the existing models and B: Weighted average between the models have been evaluated by considering the correlation coefficient (CC) results. Also, two criteria (i.e., POD and FAR) and the quantitative statistical criterion (i.e., correlation coefficient) were used to evaluate the SPI drought index.Results: The results of the precipitation evaluation of the models showed that the integrated models have better performance than the individual models. In this integrated model, the weighted model also had better performance. Evaluation of spatial distribution of precipitation models also showed the excellent performance of NMME models in Karun and Hindijan-Jarahi catchments in the zero-month forecast lead and Hindijan-Jarahi catchments in the one-month forecast lead. The results of drought index evaluation showed that integrated models, although having better performance in precipitation forecasting, but in drought forecasting, the best performance belongs to NASA-GMAO-062012 and CFSv2 models. The results also showed that drought index forecasts in three and six-month periods have better performance than one month. Spatial distribution evaluation also showed that the models perform better in the southern basins. In general, it can be concluded that NMME models have good performance in predicting drought in some places and specific forecast leads, so they should be evaluated at each point before use.Conclusion: The results of precipitation evaluation showed that, in general, integrating the output of dynamic models increases its proficiency, and integration in weighted mode (WeightedNMME) performs better than the non-weighted model (NMME). According to the zero-month forecast among individual models, the NASA-GMAO-062012 model has the most skills in terms of the correlation coefficient. However, in the one-month forecast lead in terms of the correlation coefficient, RMSE and BIAS, the best performance belongs to the CFSv2 model. Evaluation of drought indices showed that the model's performance could be different from their performance in predicting rainfall. WeightedNMME, for example, performed well in NASA-GMAO-062012 and CFSv2 months, although they performed well in predicting drought. The spatial evaluation also showed that the southern catchments perform better than other basins. Manuscript profile -

The use of numerical rainfall forecasting models in flood forecasting and warning is one of the important measures taken by researchers in most parts of the world. The TIGGE database includes mid-term precipitation forecasts simulated by global forecast centers. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency and the degree of uncertainty caused by the rainfall forecasts of four numerical models of the TIGGE database (including CPTEC, ECCC, ECMWF, and KMA) for simulating floods with the HEC-HMS hydrological model.Methods: In this research, the precipitation data of seven meteorological stations were used to evaluate the uncertainty of discharge from TIGGE database precipitation prediction models in the Poldokhtar watershed. Also, three flood events on March 24, 2017, April 6, 2018, and April 15, 2018, were studied. At first, precipitation forecasts were extracted from four centers CPTEC, ECCC, ECMWF, and KMA. Due to the existence of systematic error in the forecasts, a bias correction was done on them, and to correct the bias, the Delta method was used. Processed and raw forecasts of four rainfall forecasting models were entered into the HEC-HMS model for flood forecasting, and in the next step, the flow uncertainty assessment of the HEC-HMS model was performed in all members of the four rainfall forecasting models. In this research, 5 factors P, R, S, T, and RD were used for uncertainty analysis.Results: The results indicate the significant superiority of the ECMWF model in predicting precipitation events. The use of all 4 rainfall sources led to an acceptable simulation of the flood peak flow in three different events. Also, the predicted peak discharge time had little difference from the observed data. According to the results of the uncertainty analysis, the ECMWF model was considered the best model based on P, R, S, T, and RD factors. The KMA model performed well in severe and very severe floods. The group prediction system of TIGGE models also had an acceptable performance in all events. Also, the hydrological-meteorological prediction model predicted the time of flood occurrence and the probability of occurrence well.Conclusion: The intended research investigates flood forecasting and warning in the Poldokhtar watershed using the meteorological-hydrological system, based on meteorological forecasts of the TIGGE database and flood simulation using the HEC-HMS hydrological model. The final product of this system is probable discharge and flood forecast. The results reveal the success of the TIGGE database in flood forecasting. The ECMWF model excelled in predicting peak discharge. The upper and lower band calculation method was used to determine the uncertainty, which showed the uncertainty well. This system displayed the time of peak discharge well and with a small time delay, which indicates its good performance. The predicted rainfall from the four centers used in this study (ECMWF, ECCC, CPTEC, and KMA) have significant differences. To reduce these differences, we used a multi-model group forecasting system that had encouraging results. Manuscript profile -

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 -

In this regard, many models have been developed which proposed better managements in order to maintain water quality. Most of these models require input parameters which are hardly available or their measurements are time consuming and expensive. Among them, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models inspired by human's brain are a better choice.Method: The present study stimulated the groundwater quality parameters of Dezful plain including Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), using ANN+PSO and ANN+P-PSO models and in the end is comparing their results with measured data. The input data for TDS quality parameter consist of EC, SAR, pH, SO4, Ca, Mg and Na, for SAR including the TDS, pH, Na, Hco3 and quality parameter of EC contains So4, Ca, Mg, SAR and pH, gathered from 2011 to 2015.Findings: The results indicated that the highest prediction accuracy of quality parameters of SAR, EC and TDS is related to the ANN+P-PSO model so that the MAE and RMSE statistics have the minimum and has the maximum value for the model. The results showed that RMSE for PSO in predicting SAR, EC and TDS were 0.09, 0.045 (µs/cm) and 0.053 (mg/l) in testing period, respectively. These statistical criteria were 0.039, 0.031 (µs/cm) and 0.045 (mg/l) for P-PSO in this period, respectively.Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that P-PSO had more accuracy compared to PSO. In addition, there were no significant differences between ANN and collecting values. So, it is recommended that ANN were applied to determine nitrate concentration in groundwater.

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 -

There are many strategies to control and reduce air pollution, one of which is prediction of this event and getting ready to deal with the negative effects of it. The aim of this study is to provide a multi-layer structure of artificial neural networks (ANN) for predicting of carbon monoxide pollution at subsequent 24 hours in Tehran metropolis. Method: To predict the amount of CO emissions in near future (subsequent 24 hours), wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure characteristics are used as meteorological data, and concentration of carbon monoxide is considered as a pollution parameter. To eliminate the noise of data, wavelets transform method and determining the threshold with normal distribution are used before training the ANN. Finally, two neural networks as two general models are proposed and used for modelling. Findings: The results show that the correlation coefficient, index of agreement, accuracy of prediction, and root mean square error for model no. 1 with duplicate data are 0.9012, 0.915, 0.848, and 0.1012 and for model no. 2 with duplicate data are 0.9572, 0.978, 0.963, and 0.0385 respectively. Moreover, the results of listed parameters for model no. 1 with new data are 0.9086, 0.89, 0.885, and 0.0825 and for model No. 2 with new data are 0.8678, 0.928, 0.932, and 0.1163 respectively. Conclusion: Results showed that there is a good agreement between predicted and observed values, hence the proposed models have a high potential for air pollution prediction. Manuscript profile -

This dam was established in 1993 to supply the drinking water for Bandar Abbas and to provide water for 14670 hectares of downstram lands in Minab and for industry, flood control and artificial nutrition purposes. Method: This study is carried out to analyze the environmental impacts caused by operation of the dam. After collecting the basic data and field survey of the site and the dam reservoir, a list of environmental resources being affected was prepared. The study area was also determined in the from of individual environment under the direct and indirect impacts. Then, the required maps for the site, stations, ground cover, etc, were provided in the GIS environment. Water sampling was accomplished in warm and dry and warm and humid seasons, and water samples were carefully examined. In order to predict the dam impacts, a special method of assessment called ICOLD was conducted. After determining all the impacts, since this method is a qualitative method, a modified method was used to mark and interprete the impacts. Results: The results of this study showed that Esteghlal dam had a positive impact on biologic and socio-economic environments and had the scores of +207.5 and +329.25, and had a negative impact of -242 on physico–chemical environment. At the end, some recommendations to eliminate the negative impacts caused by operation of the dam, including decrease of deposit input to the river via constructing som dams at the upperhills before Esteghlal dam, and propagation of biological methods instead of applying fertilizer to defeat the agricultural pests were suggested. The proper environmental management of Minab watershed is bound to careful implementation of these suggestions. Manuscript profile -

Most research on earnings management has examined the linear relationship between independent variables and earnings management using statistical methods but they did not use these variables to predict earnings management. Today, with the growth of information technology and the introduction of artificial intelligence, including artificial neural networks into the field of scientific research, it has become possible to study nonlinear relationships between variables. In this study, an attempt was made to estimate optional accruals for predicting earnings management using artificial neural networks. Also in this research, the genetic algorithm optimizer model and Particle swarm has been used to optimize the weights of the artificial neural network model to enhance the predictive power. Then, the ability to predict profit management was evaluated using the modified Jones statistical model, artificial neural network and the combined technique of genetic algorithm, Particle swarm and neural network. The sample used in this study included 150 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2015 and 2020. Findings showed that the artificial neural network has a high ability to predict profit management, compared to the modified Jones linear model. The findings also indicate that the accuracy and ability of the combined model of genetic algorithm, particle swarm and neural network in predicting profit management is higher than the combined model of genetic algorithm-artificial neural network.

The purpose of this study, was to investigate The effect of the earnings forecast report tone on investor response and performance prediction. To investigate this issue, the present study uses 140 years- company listed companies at Tehran Stock Exchange between 2011 and 2017. In order to test the hypotheses of the research, multiple regression and logistic regression were used. The research findings suggest that earnings forecast report tone is not a suitable tool for investors and other users to predict future earnings and future cash flows (future performance). Also, no significant relationship was found between the earnings forecast report tone with some of the incremental (decreasing) criteria of managers' understanding to manage the report tone, such as renewing the presentation of profits and realizing the near real. In other words, the earnings forecast report tone does not have any effect on the perception and awareness of the investors. Manuscript profile -

In this study, companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange over a period of 10 years in terms of bankruptcy localized model of Kurdistani-Tatli based on the Altman model were examined and companies were identified as bankrupt and healthy. Research data were collected, categorized and refined using secondary data extracted from financial statements and through the database of the Exchange Organization and the Central Bank.The models used to evaluate the data and predict the bankruptcy of companies are artificial intelligence models . Artificial neural network, combination of neural network and genetic algorithm and the K-nearest neighbor method has been used. They were also compared in terms of prediction accuracy. The output of the models indicates that the addition of corporate governance indicators to the financial ratios indicators has not improved the results. Therefore, financial ratios alone are sufficient for predicting and determining bankruptcy. The proposed model of this research based on accuracy is a combined model of neural network and genetic algorithm that has the highest accuracy. Genetic algorithm improves the optimal results of the neural network and provides a more optimal answer. Manuscript profile -

Cryptocurrencis are a kind of virtual currencies which cryptography technology is a basic element in their designing. They are often managed in an undistributed manner. The sample consists of 13 cryptocurrencies which were traded during 3 years (11/1/2015 until 11/1/2018) consistently. We apply Dickey-Fuller test, Ljung-Box autocorrelation parametric test, Fama-French autocorrelation test, Run and Hurst non-parametric tests to explore momentum and long-run memory in cryptocurrencis market. Findings show that cryptocurrencis return has an unpredictable behavior in markets which are more liquid. Indeed, liquidity has a direct relationship with information efficiency in cryptocurrencis market. Totally, the more liquid cryptocurrencis markets are, the less return predictability will be happened and cryptocurrencis return time series will move to a random walk. Therefore, the efficient market hypothesis will be improved. Manuscript profile -

Test of stock return predictability is performed based on Fama and Mac-Beth regression model using data from 1380 to 1389. Also for profound analysis, the relation between co-movement of stock return with its style return and momentum is examined. So, Portfolio analysis approach based on dual sorting is used for the latter test. The outcomes of this research confirm future cross-section stock return predictability by style-based return over twelve month formation period. The results indicate that co-movement of stock return with its style return generates variation in momentum profit. This finding is restricted to twelve month formation period and one month future return horizon and is not observed over longer horizon future return. Manuscript profile -

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 -

Urban growth prediction models have been extensively studied with the overarching goal to assist in sustainable management of urban centers. Despite the extensive research, these models are not frequently included in the decision making process. The survey found a strong recognition of the models’ potential in decision making, but limited agreement which these models actually reach enough potential in practice. This review aims are an overview of existing models, including advantages and limitations. Also, in general, it will be discussed to main reason for not applying these models in the decision making. Analysis of aggregated statistics indicates that cellular automata are the prevailing modeling technique, present in the majority of published works. Also, being unfamiliar decision-makers with models and thelack of popularity models to research are significant reasons for not using these models in the decision making. Manuscript profile -

Regarding to that Iran is one of the low-forest cover countries in the world, investigation of fire consequences in the forests of Iran and recognition of opposition methods to fire in these forests is essential to present a solution to decrease these fires. Fire in the forests of Iran has had an important effect in destruction of unique flora and fauna, decrease of biodiversity and decrease of qualitative value of industrial plant species in addition to the economic damages and environmental pollutions. Furthermore, the recent fires in the forests of Iran have also increased the greenhouse gas emissions which it has an important role in the warming of these ecosystems and increasing of subsequent fires occurrence in these forests. This pre-background along with human-caused intentional and non-intentional fires in these ecosystems, has increased the continuous fires occurrence in the forests of Iran. Thus, development and designing of the effective opposition methods to these fires as preventing and operating methods is essential. Many different methods of fire occurrence and spread modeling have been developed using RS and GIS technologies which it seems that these methods have the effective role in predicting and preventing of these forests.

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 -

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.

Fire occurrence modeling with attention to all effective factors, is a proper solution to predict the fire occurrence in the forests because many factors affect on forest fire occurrence. This study has been done to investigate the different methods of fire modeling and fire risk assessment in forests of the world and Iran. Investigation of the researches implemented in Iran shows that the studies about fire risk potential evaluation in Iran have been limited and AHP has been used to weigh the effective factors in forest fire in most of these studies. Conclusion of researches implemented in the world shows that vegetation type, slope, aspect, distance from roads, topography and land use, have been the most effective factors in modeling of fire occurrence and integration of digital layers has often been based on a hierarchy and a risk coefficient in fire occurrence. The past actual fires map has been compared with the fire risk map to assess the accuracy of models used in provision of fire risk potential map. Logistic regression and decision-making tree algorithm have been used to select the effective variables in fire and to model the fire risk in some new studies. Integration of fuzzy inference system and neural network, neural intelligence and support vector machine has been used to predict the future fires in some advanced methods. Multi-criteria analysis is a subject used in the new studies and organization of the criteria in a spatial model using GIS has had the good results. Manuscript profile -

This technique has also helped enrich the Persian Literature. In Persian fables, animals act like humans, they talk, cheat, fight, and the like etc. Such characteristics repeat in a similar or varied fashion throughout the story and finally gain symbolic significance. For instance, peacock signifies hypocrisy in Masnavi and Mantiq al-Tayr. Likewise, dog, wolf, pig, and mouse, signify greed in Seir al-Ibad ILa al-Maad. In a similar vein, serpent and whale signify jealousy and lust, respectively. In The Cat and The Mouse, the cat is a hypocrite who pretends to be pious and the mouse is another hypocrite who pretends to be a faithful friend. This paper aims at examining the cultural significance and the symbolic role of cat and mouse in Persian Literature by focusing on such works as The Mouse and The Cat by Obeid Zakani and The Cat and The Mouse by Sheykh Bahaie. This review also tries to apply the sociological perspective to the analysis of the aforementioned works. Manuscript profile -

In this regard MoreLand use changes act as a significant factor in the environmental changes and have become a global threat. Monitoring and prediction these changes by satellite images and models can help the planners and managers to make more conscious planning decisions. In this regard, the current research aimed to monitor, model and predict land use changes using CA-Markov model in Kohmare Sorkhi region, Fars province in 2024 for a period of 25 years (1987-2012). To implement the mentioned model, the land use map was first prepared by ETM+ and TM sensors during three years (1987, 2000, 2012). Then, validation of maps and change detection process were performed. The results of change detection for the first period (1987-2000) and second period (2000-2012) with an accuracy of 83% and Kappa index of 88% have shown the greatest increase in the rangeland area (4224.24 ha) and the greatest decrease in the forest area (3953.75 ha). In the next stage, in order to calibrate the CA-Markov model, land use map for 2012 was predicted; on the other hand, regarding Error Matrix between the modeling land use map and the reference land use map, the Kappa index wad given as 75%. Finally, considering the previous stage, the land use map for the outlook of 2024 was predicted. The final results for 2024 indicated that the forest area would endure the great amount of changes in comparison with 2012. The forests would change into the irrigated agricultural area and rangelands which can be considered in sustainable development planning by decision makers. Manuscript profile -

MoreDeforestation affects watershed processes and biochemical cycles and lead to soil erosion and lack of water in the catchment areas. This study is aimed to investigate the changes in forest land in the Chaloorood watershed on the west of Mazandaran province using Geomod. In this study, maps of forest in the years of 1987 and 2015 were prepared using satellite images. Then the suitability forest map was produced by making a regression equation between suitability criteria maps and forest changes map in the period of 1987-2015. Finally, by using forest map in 1987, forest suitability map and the number of modified pixels in forest land between 1987 and 2015, Forecast of the forest map for 2043 was done using Geomod. Also, by using the Validate function and classified forest map 2015, as a reference map, and the forecasting forest map 2015, as a comparative map, the validity of the production map was evaluated. The results showed that the area of forest land in 1987, 2015, and 2043 was 38683.65, 2464.354 and 15227.25 hectares, respectively. The extent of forest changes in the last 28 years and the next 28 years is 35.72% and 38.76% respectively. Forest changes in the period between 1987 and 2015 under the influence of factors such as distance from the road, forest cover density, distance from the village, slope and elevation above sea level, respectively. The Pseudo R2 and ROC coefficients are 0.29 and 0.85 respectively, which indicates the proper ability of the model to estimate forest changes over the past 28 years and the relative agreement of the model with the real changes. In this study the accuracy of resulting land use maps was 96%, which represent the appropriate capability of Geomod in land use changes modeling in Chaloosrood watershed. Manuscript profile -

The present study aimed to predict LULC changes and also to study the relation of drought with these changes in the sub-basin Parsel B2 with an area of 21100 hectares using CA-Markov model and Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). For this purpose, using the preprocessed images of the sensors TM, ETM+, and OLI for the years 1986, 2001 and 2016, respectively, the LULC map was provided with supervised classification and maximum likelihood method. To validate the CA-Markov model, the LULC maps have been predicting for 2016 and they were compared to the reference land use map of 2016. After ensuring the accuracy of the predicted results for the year 2016, the related land use and land cover maps were predicted for the year 2030. The result showed a relation between LULC changes and drought condition. Based on result predicted for the year 2030, rain-fed agriculture 6.95% increase and range land 6.66% decrease in area. Thus In the event of drought and abandonment rain-fed agriculture land, soil erosion, increasing and also grazing pressure on the remaining range land causing range land degradation. Therefore, if the current land use strategy with current management remain, land degradation in the region will be inevitable. Manuscript profile -

104 - Study and prediction of land surface temperature changes of Yazd city: assessing the proximity and changes of land cover
Mohammad Mansourmoghaddam Iman Rousta Mohammadsadegh Zamani Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari Mohammad Karimi Firozjaei Seyed Kazem AlavipanahBackground 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 stu MoreBackground 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.

105 - Monitoring Bakhtegan wetland using a time series of satellite data on the Google Earth Engine platform and predicting parameters with Facebook’s Prophet model
Mohsen Dastaran Shahin Jafari Hossein Moslemi Sara Attarchi Seyed Kazem AlavipanahBackground and Objective Wetlands are habitats for vegetation and wildlife and because of this, they have a high environmental value. Also, wetlands reduce soil erosion, restore aquifers, store rainwater in a flood event, and provide water for agriculture or livestock. MoreBackground and Objective Wetlands are habitats for vegetation and wildlife and because of this, they have a high environmental value. Also, wetlands reduce soil erosion, restore aquifers, store rainwater in a flood event, and provide water for agriculture or livestock. Wetlands are vulnerable to human interventions and changes such as drainage, urban sprawl, infrastructure development, and over-exploitation of groundwater resources. Prediction of the condition of wetlands in the future requires a correct understanding of the evolution of wetlands and identifying their trend of change. Nowadays, Remote Sensing technology is widely used for mapping wetlands, and its ability to monitor the changes in wetlands regardless of the diversity of wetlands has significantly increased the value of this science in this field. Remote Sensing can be an effective means of simulating and predicting wetland degradation processes by providing images at different times and through dynamic spatial modeling. In this study, the changes in the Bakhtegan wetland have been monitored. This wetland has high environmental and tourism importance and its drying affects negatively the living conditions and health of local people as well as tourism in the region. In addition, predictions of precipitation parameters, groundwater level, and temperature have been conducted. For this purpose, the Google Earth Engine platform was used to capture and process images. Google Earth Engine is a platform that can capture and process images in the shortest time and at high speed. In this regard, using Google Earth Engine, changes in the lake water area along with changes in temperature, groundwater level, and precipitation were extracted and monitored. Moreover, a comparison took place between these parameters to determine the changes that have taken place in the lake over the past two decades. To predict the parameters, the changing pattern was predicted and analyzed using the Prophet model. The most important advantage of the Prophet model is its ability to convert discrete data to continuous data to make the best predictions. This method automatically detects the trend of seasonal data and displays the trend of seasonal changes.Materials and Methods Satellite images were acquired from the Google Earth Engine platform to monitor the wetland. Landsat 7 and 8 images were used for water body extraction, GRACE Data were used for extraction of groundwater level changes, MODIS product was used for extraction of vegetation and wetland surface temperature, and TRMM image product was used to extract precipitation values. An automated water extraction index was used to extract the wetland body water. The groundwater level was extracted from the GRACE sensor. MODIS sensor product was used to obtain the surface temperature time series for the study area. For the extraction of precipitation time series, the monthly cumulative data of the TRMM (3B43V7) satellite with a spatial resolution of 0.25°C was extracted using Google Earth Engine and the trend of changes was evaluated and analyzed. The Mann-Kendall test is one of the most widely used non-parametric tests for detecting meteorological and environmental data trends, which is used to detect a monotonic trend line since this test is a non-parametric method, it does not need that the data follow a normal distribution. The Prophet predictive model is a predictive library developed by Facebook and is available in R and Python programming languages. This library supports additive modeling methods and can properly predict discrete values continuously. This feature is called "Holiday". Another feature of this library is the automatic detection of daily, weekly, seasonal and annual trends. The mean absolute error (MAE), by default, exists in the Prophet library. This error represents a more natural standard than the mean error and unlike the RMSE error, it is unambiguous.Results and Discussion In the present study, we monitored the Bakhtegan wetland using the Google Earth Engine platform to observe the trend of water level changes in this wetland from 2000 to 2020. In addition, Parameters were also predicted using the Prophet Prediction method which is developed and published by Facebook. By examining this trend, it can be observed that the water level of the wetland has been significantly reduced during two decades. In this regard, the trend of groundwater level, temperature, and precipitation in the area was investigated. Examining these factors, it was found that along with a 58.3% decrease in the water level of the wetland, there was a 260% decrease in the groundwater level of the region, although the amount of rainfall in the region has been less compared to other factors and has been decreased about 29%. Using Mann-Kendall statistical test, the trend of this decline was proved. To predict the parameters, the Prophet model has been able to make predictions for 1500 days as continuous data using discrete data. The output of the model has shown that for rainfall parameters and groundwater level a downward trend is predictable over the next 1500 days which is low intensity for precipitation but with high intensity for groundwater level. Temperature prediction indicated that it has a seasonal trend, and has a high amount of fluctuation within a year, but its annual trend indicates stability in the coming years. The results of the model for the water level of the wetland also show a relatively low upward trend that has a probability of change of ±12.5 Square kilometers. Also, the error of the parameters at the 95% significant level has acceptable accuracy, which indicates the validity of the prediction. An automated water extraction index was used in this study to extract the time series of the water body of the wetland. Using the mean time series extracted, the maximum and minimum wetland’s water body area belongs to 2006 with 629.23 square kilometers and 2014 with 156.82 square kilometers, respectively. The time series of changes in this wetland indicates that the water volume of the wetland has been declining in the last two decades. According to this study, it can be concluded that the trend of changes in the water level of the wetland has been decreasing. The descending changes in the lake based on the trend of changes in groundwater levels indicates a decrease in water volume in the area. Considering that the trend of precipitation changes has been stable, it can have assumed that improper management and excessive use of groundwater may be a reason for lowering the water level of the wetland. Due to the same decrease in the water level of the lake, the temperature has also decreased by about 3°C.Conclusion According to this study, it can be concluded that groundwater levels and precipitation will have a downward trend in the future, which will lead to a decrease in the water level of the wetland, which itself has the potential to fluctuate in the future, and the downward trend continues. With the current trend, the only solution is to plan properly to preserve the wetland. If this trend continues, we will face the destruction of the wetland. Given the monthly trend of the wetland surface, it is suggested not to over-exploit groundwater resources, especially in the summer. For further research, the Google Earth Engine platform can be used without the need to download the images and spend a lot of time and money, to obtain the time series of images. Regarding the prediction, in future studies, the Prophet model can be applied, since it uses discrete data and at the same time provides the desired accuracy. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, using images of MSS, ETM+ and OLI sensors of LandSat satellite and using ancillary information, land use maps of 1986, 2000 and 2014 was provided and land use map of 2024 was predicted. According to the results, dense forest area decreased during the study period and with passing time but the area of agricultural land increased with the passage of time while the dense rangeland area decreased during the period 1984-2000. The annual growth rate of agricultural land has achieved 113.45 ha during the period 1984-2000 and this change value was obtained 91.27 ha for the period 2000-2014. The results of predicting changes in the time interval 2014-2028, showed it is possible that will be decreased semi-dense forest and dense rangelands and will be increased other land-use areas according to results of model predictions. The highest increase will be belonging to agricultural land use that will be increased to 25.89 ha per year. According to research findings, land-use changes are causing degradation of natural resource areas. However, in recent years, have taken effective actions to protect these areas, but more attention and protection of natural resources and environment in the Marave Tappeh region is essentially still.

Sound Speed was calculated using Chen-Millero formula and pressure, salinity, and temperature data. The data extracted from World Ocean Atlas 2013 with regular mesh grid 0.25 degree. Sound speed was calculated using the Chen-Millero formula. Spatial analysis of the sound speed comparison based on three methods Kriging, Co-Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighted. These methods were performed using GS+ software in both warm and cold season. The best method finally used to forcast and prepare the plans of zoning sound speed. The Pearson’s correlation test was performed between independent variables and sound speed showed that the maximum correlation occurs between temperature and sound speed. Therefore, the temperature was considered as the auxiliary variable in Co-Kriging method for spatial analysis of sound speed. Cross-validation results showed that model's forecasting in cold season was better compared to warm season in this region. Results of spatial analysis showed that the sound speed decreased about 20m/s in all layers from the Hormuz Strait toward the northwestern part of the Persian Gulf. Because of the increased salinity the maximum of sound speed was always in the south shallow area. In all investigated stations, sound speed reduced with increasing depth, due to temperature reduction and the sound channel is not also observed. Manuscript profile -

In this context, land use/cover maps is considered as a one of the most important sources of information on natural resources management. Optimal management of resources requires assessment and understanding of the changes and degradation of resources in the past. It also needs to have an accurate plan in order to control and inhibition of the happened destruction potential in future. The Markov chain model is one of the most efficient methods for predicting changes in land use and land cover. In this research, land cover changes in previous years and the possibility of predicting in the future are investigated in Bostagh plain using the Markov chain model. Therefore, using MSS (1987), ETM+ (2002) and OLI (2014) images sensors and region ancillary information, land use map is provided and 2024 land use map is predicted too. Land use maps were performed using kappa coefficient after correcting satellite images, determining training samples, and evaluating classification accuracy. According to the results, bare/barren and rangeland classes are the most dynamic existing usage in the region. The area percentage of these lands during 1987 to 2014 was 21.64% subtractive and 31.14% additive respectively. This represents a total degradation and replacement of the weaker use in the region. The results of predicting changes in the time interval 2014-2024, showed that 98% of residential lands, 88% of bare land, 77% of saline land, 45% of rangeland, and 37% of agriculture will remain unchanged. Moreover, the conversion of rangeland to bare land (41.94%) are the highest, and the conversion of bare lands to residential lands (0.02%) and rangeland to residential lands (0.03%) are the lowest possibility of conversion. Predicting maps derived from the Markov chain model are very important to provide an overview for better natural resources management.

In this approach, if the predicted data related to the future cycles are used to optimize the upcoming schedule, it will control the traffic in unforeseen cases and manage it before reaching the forthcoming cycles. In order to have enough data to create such a model, the required data from two intersections in Yazd city were collected and these intersections were simulated using AIMSUN software. Then these intersections were calibrated and validated for existing conditions. The prediction accuracy results were extracted by the proposed methods and compared with the linear regression method. RMSE, MAE and GEH errors were used to compare the methods.Method: The predicted queue length and arrival volume parameters for any entry approach of itersections are major variables required during the adaptive signal control process, Hence, Linear and Non-linear Support Vector Regression Methods combined with the time series method were used to predict these parameters. For comparison of the performance of these models with a conventional model, Linear Regression models were also developed for the prediction of these parameters.ResultsFor the developed model based on combined Linear Support Vector Regression and the time series methods, the number of optimal previous cycle data used in the model was measured as 6 and 2 previous data cycles for predicting the arrival volume at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections, respectively. The optimal number of previous data used in the model was measured as 9 and 11 previous data cycles for predicting the queue length at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections, respectively. Also, using the combined Non-Linear Support Vector Regression and the time series methods, the number of optimal previous data cycles was obtained as 8 and 2 cycles in predicting the arrival volume at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections, and the number of optimal previous data cycles was obtained as 7 and 7 cycles in predicting the queue length at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections.Discussion: The results of RMSE, MAE and GEH measures were used to compare the performance of the developed models with the real data. This comparison indicated that the model based on the combined Non-Linear Support Vector Regression and time series methods, has produced the best performance in predicting traffic arrival volume than the other aforementioned models. However, in terms of predicting the queue length, this model produced a better performance than the combined Linear Support Vector Regression at only one of the intersections. The Linear Regression model produced the weakest performance in all comparisons. Thus, it can be concluded that the combined Support Vector Regression and time series methods are appropriate tools in predicting traffic parameters in these situations. Manuscript profile -

Social network analysis is an approach in which the network is considered as a set of nodes and relationships between them. Nodes are individuals and actually actors in the network and the relationships between them are displayed as connections between nodes.Method: Among many social network analysis issues, link prediction has attracted much attention due to the growing number of social network users. Link prediction means predicting which new interaction is going to happen in the future. Traditional link prediction methods considered pairs of nodes as a unit and made decisions based on commonalities between them. In addition, we proposed a new similarity measure for link prediction in social networks.Results: We compared this criterion with four prediction methods of Jaccard link, Salton Index, Salton Cosine, and resource allocation). Experimental runs in this article were carried out on five social network datasets. Our results showed that this criterion performed better than other link prediction techniques on all datasets.Discussion: Social network analysis has recently attracted lots of attention among researchers due to its wide applicability in capturing social interactions. Link prediction, related to the likelihood of having a link between two nodes of the network that are not connected, is a key problem in social network analysis. Many methods have been proposed to solve the problem. Among these methods, similarity-based methods exhibit good efficiency by considering the network structure and using as a fundamental criterion the number of common neighbors between two nodes to establish structural similarity.

It can be acknowledged that future literacy is a scientific skill that develops a better understanding of the predicted assumptions. Future literacy or future is an educational framework that makes it possible to visualize the approaches for the future.Health-centric exercise or sports for all are sports activities that are followed by the vitality of joy and health at the level of different societies. Future or lost literacy is a valuable futures study in sports. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to design a general informed forecasting system based on future literacy, which in this study was specifically tested on public sports.Methodology: This qualitative research, which is exploratory-fundamental in nature, with a focus on social constructivism and using the constructivist approach of the basic theory, presents a short-range theory in conscious forecasting based on future literacy. Research data were collected through purposive sampling using snowball technique and based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of futures, research and sports management. The number of participants in the study using the theoretical saturation index reached 14 people.In this study, data were coded and decomposed according to the field theory and with the construction approach. Instead of emphasizing the collection of facts and describing the actions, this approach emphasizes views, values, beliefs, feelings, defaults and ideologies of individuals. At the same time, interviews and receive feedback from interviewees during return to existing texts and documents, initial implications and codes were modified and modified. In this research, in all sampling process, three stages of free, communication and theoretical sampling stages were observed in the basis of the use of the construction approach of data theorem.Results: In this study, a multi-part model consisting of the main components of support processes, main processes, future images, future literacy and approaches was obtained. In this model, it was found that future literacy, which means encoding and decoding future images, can make conscious predictions about the future of public sports by using present-day potentials and existing processes.Conclusion: The arbitrary theory acknowledges that future literacy, which is an accessible skill based on human intrinsic capacity, can be based on current time potentials such as the main processes, such as identifying weak signals, surprises, macro trends, propulsion forces, uncertainties, design Strategic radar, based on environmental scanning and backup processes, such as inter-surface participation, key actor analysis, perspective, planning, entirely, cramps, and reengineering, make upcoming images; The upcoming literacy by decoding or coding these images based on the empowerment loop, which consists of four elements of awareness of the past and present, choosing and participating in the present and discovering in the coming time, provide information for different future.The existing system, beyond the conventional views in futures studies, can be a starting point for modeling informed predictions in sports.

Mathematical models offer a significant tool for understanding and predicting the crop yield losses incurred due to weed-crop interference. Weed-crop competition models help to inform weed management decisions, both on a short-term basis to tackle the present weed population and in the long term to plan sustainable weed management strategies. Most competition studies are based on empirical models. Empirical functions are the most commonly used models, which provide information for weed threshold values. The limitations of such models are that they are based on statistical functions and usually do not consider biological insights for crop-weed interference. Crop-weed competition is a complex phenomenon, and to understand this, a detailed mechanistic model offers better insights than an empirical model. Mechanistic or explanatory models take into account all underlying processes or mechanisms and their dependence on each other with respect to time and external drivers. Competition models can be integrated within the framework of a decision support system (DSS). In this review, we present empirical and mechanistic models that are currently in use for studying crop-weed interference. Manuscript profile -

This research is post-event correlation type and practical in terms of purpose. The research data were extracted from the website of the Stock Exchange Organization and Codal website. The risk variable of crashing stock prices was introduced as a predictor. 3200 obser-vations were obtained from 10-year data of 320 companies between 2012 and 2021. In the following, 29 variables were identified as variables that can affect the risk of crashing stock prices. Statistical methods such as unit root test, composite data, Hausman test and variance heterogeneity test were used. Next, the top 10 algorithms in the field of deep learning were selected and used to model the mentioned variables with the CNN method. Python, Eviews and Excel software were used in this research. Examining the performance of different deep learning algorithms shows that the convolutional neural network method performs better compared to other algorithms and can improve the prediction accuracy. Therefore, it is suggested to use this algorithm in reviewing econometric data and especially predicting the risk of crashing stock prices. Manuscript profile -

If the data are balanced, the bias in sample selection may lead to an underestimation of typeI error and an overestimation of the typeII error of models. Although imbalanced data-based models are compatible with reality, they have a higher typeI error compared to balanced data-based models. The cost of typeI error is more important to Beneficiaries than the cost of typeII error. In this study, for reducing typeI error of imbalanced data-based models, random and clustering-based undersampling were used. Tested data included 760 companies since 2007-2007 with 4 different degrees and the results of the H1 to H3 test represented them. In all cases of the typeI error, typeII error of balanced data-based models were lower and more, respectively, compared to imbalanced data-based models; also, in most cases, the geometric mean of balanced data-based models was higher compared to imbalanced data-based models, respectively. The results of testing H4 to H6 show that in most cases, typeI error, typeII error and the geometric mean criterion of models based on modified imbalanced data were less, more, and more, respectiively compared to the models based on imbalanced data, in other words, applying Undersampling methods on imbalanced training data led to a decrease in typeI error and an increase in typeII error and geometric mean criteria. As a result using models based on modified imbalanced data is suggested to Beneficiaries Manuscript profile -

The pres-ence of prior period adjustments and, subsequently, the financial restatements have a negative impact on the relatedness and reliability of the financial state-ments. The present study is aimed to present an appropriate criterion for predict-ing the financial restatements based on the Beneish model and its indices in companies admitted to the Tehran Stock & Exchange between 2009 and 2020. For this purpose, a total of 265 companies were selected considering the limitations. Also, the model estimation was per-formed using Beneish's primary model, a meta-heuristic neural network model, and optimization through genetic programming. As indicated by the obtained results based on the confusion matrix, the efficiency of the pro-posed model derived from the enhanced Beneish model with a genetic algo-rithm(S – 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒) had a total prediction accuracy of 73.21%, which was the highest prediction power compared to the Beneish Model .

Th MoreThe bankruptcy of corporations causes huge losses for investors, managers, creditors, employees, suppliers, and customers. If someone understands the reason for the corporate's bankruptcy, then he can save the corporate from certain death with the necessary planning. Therefore, bankruptcy forecasting is the most important prerequisite for bankruptcy prevention. Due to this issue, the main aim of this article is the prediction of the economic bankrupt-cy of corporations in the Tehran Stock Exchange using group machine learn-ing algorithms. Financial ratios have been used as independent variables and healthy and bankrupt corporations as research dependent variables. The statistical population of the study is the information of financial statements of corporations on the Tehran Stock Exchange from the years 2004 to 2021. In this study, sampling is not used and corporations include two groups healthy and bankrupt. The bankrupt and non-bankrupt groups are selected based on the threshold of the Springate model. The research findings indicate that the accuracy of predicting the bankruptcy of corporations in the group learning model by stacking method is higher than other used models where the AUC and Accuracy Ratio were 0.9276 and 0.8247, respectively.

To answer the research question, four prediction models of linear regression, K Nearest Neighbor, decision tree, and deep learning were investigated. Also, 61 financial ratios were used according to previous research using data related to listed and non-listed companies of Iran from the years 2012 to 2018. According to the re-sults obtained from the estimation of each of the proposed prediction mod-els, it can be stated that the k-nearest neighbor model has the lowest RMSE value, and in fact, this model predicts the amount of social responsibility with less error than other models. The linear regression model with the high-est RMSE value has a weaker performance than other models. LSTM model and decision tree respectively had the lowest RMSE value after the k-nearest neighbor model. As a result, since the LSTM model requires a large number of test sam-ples for deeper learning, it could not achieve high performance in the evaluated data set. Based on the investigations, it can be stated that the current research does not have a similar example inside or outside of Iran. Manuscript profile -

This log is commonly used to gain insight into the elastic and petrophysical parameters of reservoir rocks. Acquisition of DT log is, however, a very expensive and time consuming task. Thus prediction of this log by any means can be a great help by decreasing the amount of money that needs to be allocated for acquisition. Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the best artificial intelligence techniques proven to be a reliable method in the prediction of various real world problems. The aim of this paper is to use SVM to predict the DT log data of a well located in the southern oilfields of Iran. By comparing the results of SVM with those obtained by a Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) we were able to verify the accuracy of SVM in the prediction of P-wave velocity. Hence, this method is recommended as a cost effective tool in the prediction of P- wave velocity Manuscript profile -

One way to arrive capital investment security is to predict bankruptcy of a business unit. As the Iranian power and energy stock is going to start working by 2012, providing suitable bits of advice to investors would be a priority. This paper proposes a new solution approach for bankruptcy prediction of the Iranian power and energy industries. To do so, an evolutionary algorithm premised on Learning Automata is employed and adapted to the problem. Two sets of firms related to power and energy industries that are listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) are selected as the training and test data, respectively. The developed algorithm is conducted on both train and test data, and the efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated via several scenarios. It was practically seen in simulations that the learning automata-based algorithm could achieve an accuracy of 91% and 88% over the train and test data, respectively. Besides these, the same data sets are also conducted by other methods such as MDA and Logit, and the obtained results are compared with reality. The yielded results prove the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique Manuscript profile -

There are about twenty-seven different predictions in the Shahriarnameh system. The most important of these prophecies is the prophecy about the grudge and revenge of Bahman, Esfandiar's son from the Zal family, which has been mentioned eight times by different people in different sections. The predictions of Shahriarnameh are often based on dreams, astronomical rulings and with the help of Soroush or with miraculous tools and objects such as the Cup of Wisdom, the Mirror of Wisdom and the Golden Tablet, by wise men and ministers, especially Jamasp, astrologers, priests . The subject of dreaming and dreaming of characters, especially the protagonist, is one of the main axes in epic poems and is also reflected in Shahriarnameh. Some of the dreams of Shahriarnameh have a prophetic aspect and others are based on commands, prohibitions and advices. Dreams that have a predictive aspect in many cases untie the knot of events and hardships and free the heroes and heroines of the story from the clutches of troubles .Keywords: Shahriarnameh, Astronomical Rulings , Prediction , Tool Prediction , Sleep Manuscript profile -

Antagonists and, in some occasions, generals consult with officials when important issues determining the future of wars and the destiny of kings’ realms, are concerned. Based on mentioned above, the function of antagonist’s counselors is analyzed and divided into two categories: first , offering helpful resolutions when antagonists encounter and fight against protagonists and their army ; second ,sleep interpretation and prediction. In accordance with carried out studies, antagonists’ counselors include ministers,zorasterian clergymen ,astrologers, fortunetellers, generals and antagonists’ close relatives , alliances and in some cases the armies that each group assist the antagonists with their opinions to make decisions especially about their territory and the army.

According to reports of manager of dispatching department of National Iranian Gas Company, residual consumers had a share of 70 percentage of all manufactured natural gas, on cold days of 2021. Also about 88 percentage of the country's electricity is supplied by fossil fuels, based on the report of Water and Electricity Industry. All of these statistics warn us about the importance of residential gas management. In this article, a nonlinear regression model was produced based on temperature and population of residential consumers in different periods of year. Also consumptions of residential consumers of Karaj city used to evaluate performance of the model. Results show that there is a meaningful correlation between selected features and consumed amount of natural gas that can help us to predict consumption more accurate in future. Manuscript profile -

Exam 1: identifying of a complete system without need to measuring of one row of FRF matrix while one column of this matrix is identified. The whole examination is simulated with rotor at four freedom degree. Exam 2: identifying the available parameters in an industrial system which was not considered in exam 1. The experimental system is a continuous vibration system, so in order to identify such a system, we need to use a method that describe it into a discrete system to illustrate the turbulences in data measuring. After that, we can explain the continuous system with a short model at a certain frequency band. Furthermore, we can estimate the modal parameters. It is also showed that the accuracy which special left vectors were determined can actually affected by the accuracy of modal constants related to the measured data. As a result, the special left vectors are affected by turbulences of the measured data. The effects of turbulences on freedom degrees with small response amplitude at bond frequency in the vicinity of closed modes, are more distinguished. Despite of the vibrations, the predicted special left vectors for determining one row of FRF matrix is suitable with one measured column. Manuscript profile -

The purpose of this study is to investigate land use changes and physical development of Hashtgerd city during the past 19 years and to predict land use change trends for the future. In this study, Landsat multi-time images were used. Using the support vector classification machine algorithm and the algorithm for Cross-Tab change, land use change trends over the past 19 years was evaluated. Also, using the Cellular Automata Markov prediction model, the process of land use change and physical expansion of the city is predicted for the future. The results of this study indicate the unnecessary expansion of the city over the past 19 years. So that the built-up with 736.56% growth have caused excessive destruction of agricultural and bare lands on the outskirts of the city. Investigations show that with increasing distance from land use changes have significantly reduced the amount of land use. Investigation of changes in land uses showed that 564/166 hectares of waste land has become residential land use. Predicting land use changes for 2028 and 2038 showed that residential land use will continue to increase. This highlights the need for special attention of urban planners and managers to the issue of urban development and its consequences in the region. Finally, the evaluation of the accuracy of the automated cell model showed that the percentage of classes area difference was less than 8%. Manuscript profile -

The development of construction in the horizontal space and regardless of the existing restrictions has led to environmental, economic and legal problems for the citizens. Achieving the amount, intensity and direction of construction development from the past to the present and predicting the construction situation in the future is the first step towards the scientific and practical management of the physical development of urban construction, planning and providing suitable solutions in order to create a balance between allocation Spatial-spatial construction and all kinds of legal, economic and environmental considerations. Data and information extracted from satellite images, while showing the historical changes of urban construction, are used as the main, necessary and necessary input data for models to predict its future state. In this research, satellite images of TM, ETM+ and OLI sensors of Landsat satellite were used in the time periods of 1997-2007 and 2007-2017 related to the city of Sari. After performing geometrical corrections, city area maps were prepared. Then, by using the effective parameters in urban construction changes, using the Cellular Automata(CA) Markov Model, the accuracy of the simulations was checked. Finally, for validation, the simulated maps and the ground reality map were matched with each other. The simulation of the construction development process in 2027 using the CA-Markov model showed that if the existing management regulations continue, this area will decrease from 4617.90 hectares in 2017 to 4357.44 hectares in 2027. But the examination of change maps and stability maps showed that new areas will be under construction between 2017 and 2027, which were mainly used for agriculture and barren land.

Its binding to testosterone reduces bioavailable testosterone and causes diseases of the male reproductive tract such as infertility, erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer. Objective: In this in Silico study, the potential of several compounds present in Tulang honey against SHBG protein for the treatment of infertility has been investigated. Materials and methods: The six compounds in Tualang honey, Catechin, Ethyl oleate, Fisetin, Hesperetin, Kaempferol and Luteolin were obtained from previous studies and the PubChem pharmaceutical database. The binding energy and type of protein-ligand interactions were investigated by molecular docking of these compounds to SHBG protein. AutoDock Vina version 1.1.2 software was used to perform molecular docking and Discovery Studio v21.1.0.289 software was used to analyze molecular docking results. Then SwissADME and admetSAR 2.0 web servers were used to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of these compounds through ADMET predictions. Results: The binding energy obtained from molecular docking showed that Luteolin with a score of -10 kcal/mol binds to SHBG protein, and has more hydrogen-hydrophobic interactions than other studied compounds as well as compounds that have been worked on in recent papers. Catechin and Fisetin also showed an acceptable result. The study of ADMET and bioavailability radar showed that although these compounds have physicochemical properties for use as drugs, they have the potential to inhibit some cytochromes and toxicity for certain organs and DNA or other genetic material in the body that should be considered in the use of these compounds as drugs. Discussion and conclusion: Using this in silico study, several suitable molecules of natural origin against the SHBG protein were identified, which showed potential for the treatment of male infertility.

Marketers who use these approaches are threatened by the severe reaction of those consumers who consider the direct marketing as an attack to their private lives, so it may even be possible to boycott companies that use these methods. Neural networks are known as a powerful tool for prediction, but as previously mentioned, as with other prediction algorithms, they tend to deviate toward imbalanced data. In this research, in order to enhance the ability to identify and predict potential customers by multilayer perceptron networks, using Random under-over sampling methods, which has been used frequently in other articles, we attempted cluster customers and create different combinations of them, and then from the observed results, we finally introduced an innovative and highly efficient method for identifying and rating potential customers. The results indicate that, in addition to the undeniable power of multilayer neural networks in the field of identification and prediction, imbalanced data has greatly damaged the results. In this regard, creating an optimal combination of customer data and implementing the innovative algorithm of the present study significantly improves the results and the performance of artificial neural networks has yielded a reliable consequences.

This theory is relevant in contracts that are subject to a certain period of time. In Iran's legal system, the theory of foreseeable breach of contract is not explicitly accepted, even in certain articles, it is practically not possible to propose such a theory. But since speed and security are one of the main elements in commercial contracts, the design of this theory in Iran's legal system allows the obligor not to wait for the obligee to fulfill his contractual obligations in case of excessive delay, and by planning this type of violation, he can have a suitable time to compensate for the lost time. Although there are obstacles for proposing this theory in every legal system, its acceptance can be much more practical. In the principles of jurisprudence, in a topic entitled extended obligation, it is mentioned to perform the duty within a certain period of time, and the basics of this obligation can be used in the theory of predictable violation. The most important question that we are trying to answer in this article is with what tool the theory of foreseeable violation can be justified in Iran's legal system. By providing this goal, we have progressed from the origin of this theory to its legal analysis. Manuscript profile -

In companies with highly efficient capital productivity, stocks are expected to offer higher returns and the explanatory power of the models proposed to predict stock returns is assumed to increase. The purpose of this study was, thus, to examine the extent to which capital productivity might influence the explanatory power of stock market predictive models and to scrutinize this viable effect at various stages of corporate life cycle. The Operating Profit Ratio (ROIC) was used to operationalize Capital productivity, the Tripartite Factor Model (Fama & Franch, 1993) and the Pentagonal Factor Model (Fama & Franch, 2013) were employed to predict stock returns and corporate life cycle was categorized via the Dickinson Cash Flow (2011). The research sample comprised 110 companies with specific descriptive characteristics selected from among all those listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during a ten-year period from 2005 to 1394. The results of the hypothesis testing analyses demonstrated that capital productivity affects the relationship between market factor and risk-free growth at all stages of the life cycle, but size was found significantly correlated with risk merely at the maturity stage of the life cycle.

In this paper, Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity model (GARCH) and Autoregressive Moving Average model (ARMA) are implemented by using monthly data during 1990-2010. The results indicate that stock market doesn’t have notable predictability in Iran and there is Cluster volatility for return of stock in most markets and almost, in none of these markets except Oman, explosive volatilities are observed. It is also indicated that the return for markets of Bahrain and Oman doesn’t have stability in significant level of 5 percent and for Iran it doesn’t have stability and durability in significant level of 1 percent. In addition, although the markets of these countries have high capacities for return of investment, but, in particular, the findings show a low correlation between these markets. Also, the results for the period in question explain that none of these markets has the ability of leadership among others. Manuscript profile -

To achieve the goal, Money Market Pressure index approach will be used by Markov Switching Model. The results indicate that, although, based on governmental supporting, the banking section in Iran has never encountered the phenomena such as bank run and bankruptcy, but it has also experienced banking crisis. Likewise, the assessment of probit model suggests that some indexes are leading banking crisis probability. These indicators include the variables of real exchange rate growth, the growth rate of credit endowed to private sector, real GDP, housing price, and real interest rate. Furthermore, the measures of expectation-prediction represent that the model developed has considerable potential to predict in sample banking crisis. Also, this model is unsuccessful in the prediction of the crisis in only 12 percent, but capable of predicting crisis in 77 percent of cases, where the crisis has occurred with probability of more than 40 percent.

This gradual process, which concentrates on risk components in different age periods based on three basic components including learning patterns and learned lessons, suppressed childhood experiences and memories and finally the lack of family and social bonds, will be studied in this paper. Therefore, the present research, employing causality perspective, explains how the social forces (family, friends, culture, environmental conditions, poverty, etc.) can be effective in creating a criminal identity? An approach that aims to achieve practical results tested a range of variables in the light of theoretical criminological foundations on the statistical population of cyber-criminals to be able to achieve a causal cognitive model based on the most important factors influencing their criminal course. Variables that often cause the appearance, continuity and stability of cybercrimes are acquired and learned and that the human nature (inheritance) play insignificant role the formation of cyber crimes. Hence, the current research, which is a collective and phenomenological research, is descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and method, and in terms of purpose is practical. The statistical population of this research consists of a group of convicts of Great Tehran Prison (Fashafouye) who are serving their sentence in the said prison. The findings describe the fact that the propensity for cybercrime and movement towards it is not a single event but a product of a gradual and staggered process. It is worth mentioning that the statistical calculations were done using SPSS22 software and based on descriptive-inferential statistics (by applying the multivariate regression equation method).

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 -

In recent years, the highest energy consumption in buildings is related to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Therefore, the control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in buildings has been taken into consideration to reduce energy consumption. At first, a construction model is designed in the Energy-plus software, then all input and output data is collected from this software to identify the state-space model. Then the Model-based predictive control algorithm is applied to control the indoor building temperature. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, the data used in the system identification section is based on the assumption that the rooms are not isolated. There is a temperature relationship between the rooms, which provides a more realistic model of the system. Secondly, the external ambient temperature is considered as a disturbance, and its effect on controller design has been investigated. The simulation results for 24 hours show the good performance of the model predictive control approach over the optimal control method along with reducing energy consumption while maintaining the optimal temperature conditions.

This matter can lead to increase in the distance traveled by the electric vehicle at each charge and ultimately Increase the battery life. To this end, a predictive direct torque control method, as well as an optimal direct torque control method, was proposed. In the predictive direct torque control method, the reference voltage vector based on the predictive control is determined so that both the torque value and the charge value are equal to the reference values as quickly as possible. The optimal direct torque control method is also based on calculating the optimal stator reference flux according to the load torque. For comparison and evaluating the performance of controllers optimal direct torque control method and predictive direct torque control method along with the conventional direct torque control method, are simulated on an induction motor. Simulation results demonstrate that optimal direct torque control method in no-load mode and predictive direct torque control method when applying load have the highest efficiency, lowest current amplitude and torque ripple. Therefore in this paper, direct torque compound control method is presented. This method it uses optimal direct torque control in no-load and predictive direct torque control when applying load. This method has the best performance to increase battery life in electric vehicles. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, the Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor model is evaluated, which has a nonlinear model with temperature outputs and heating inlets of interconnected tanks. An Unscented Kalman filter is used to estimate the model's output dynamics, which has a suitable convergence speed and higher accuracy than other estimators. The nonlinear predictive control approach is used to apply the appropriate heating rate to the system to achieve the desired temperatures for each tank when there is no fault in the system. In the proposed design, to compensate for the fault, a sliding mode observer has been used to identify the fault. When a fault is detected, a fuzzy proportional derivative controller is used to control the system's fault. MATLAB software has been to evaluate the proposed method in different working modes of the reactor model.

One of these methods is Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). To improve the performance of ANNs, an efficient algorithm is necessary to train it. Back Propagation (BP) algorithm is the most common algorithm employed in training ANNs, which is based on gradient descent. Since BP may fall in local optima, it cannot provide a good solution in some problems. To overcome this shortcoming, optimiz­ation algorithms like meta-heuristic algorithms can be applied to train ANNs. In this study, a new meta-heuristic algorithm called Red Kite Optimization Algorithm (ROA) is introduced, which is inspired by the social life of red kites in nature. The ROA has several advantages such as simplicity in structure and implementation, having few parameters and good convergence rate. The perfprmance of ROA is compared with some recent metaheuristic algorithms on benchmark functions of CEC2018. Also, it is employed to train Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) for the electricity consumption prediction at peak load times in Iran. The results show the good performance of proposed algorithm compared with competitor algorithms in terms of solution accuracy and convergence speed. Manuscript profile -

These environments have the potential to meet the needs of users, but they also have their own problems, including the failure of the jobs. Several attempts have been made to overcome this problem, which in general can be divided into two categories of resource side methods and job side methods. All these methods need some kind of prediction of the resources or jobs status in order to pursue a proactive approach to failures. However, due to the dynamics of these environments, the developed models quickly lose their quality and thus can not effectively help with the methods mentioned. In this paper, first, by identifying the reasons for reducing the quality of predictors in the grid environment, a solution has been proposed to deal with it, and then the proposed solution has been applied in the context of job failures. The results of experiments on the two experimental environments of AuverGrid and Grid5000 showed that the proposed method would increase the quality by 0.02 and 0.06 respectively in these two environments.

This algorithm consists of six steps: In the first step, a data set of EEG signal recording during neurofeedback stimulation from 60 students in the age group of 7 to 14 years (regardless of gender) with hyperactivity in two treatable and non-treatable classes was obtained from the Mendelian database. In the second step, primary filtering has been done to reduce the noise of the data set using a pre-processing block. In the third step, the frequency distribution of the alpha and beta bands is extracted from the noise reduction signals. In this type of data, the difference in the EEG components of each group can be expressed by measuring brain-functional communication and using the phase lock index (PLI), which is used to detect the existence of a connection between the brain lobes involved once using the probability value index. In the t-test statistical test and to increase the accu­ra­c­y, the genetic algorithm was used to identify the effective electrodes in the treatment. So, the fourth step is to extract the feature, which is to measure the amount of brain communication in the brain signal recording electrodes. In the fifth step, it is to reduce the feature space, the results show show that the lobes involved during neurofeedback stimulation are the frontal and central lobes, and among the 32 EEG recording channels, only the data of 6 channels C3, FZ, F4, CZ, C4, and F3 show a significant difference in the amount of brain communication during stimulation. and finally, in the sixth step, by using different classifications, the output of the combination of classifications was the label of one of two classes, treatable or non-treatable. In this proposed method, the correctness cri­te­rion is used to express the research result, and finally the percentage of correctness obtained is 90.6%. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, in terms of static voltage stability, and application of Neural Networks (NN) and Supported Vector Machine (SVM) for estimating of voltage stability margin (VSM) and predicting of voltage collapse has been investigated. This paper considers voltage stability in power system in two parts. The first part calculates static voltage stability margin by Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN). The advantage of the used method is high accuracy in online detecting the VSM. Whereas the second one, voltage collapse analysis of power system is performed by Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and SVM. The obtained results in this paper indicate, that time and number of training samples of SVM, are less than NN. In this paper, a new model of training samples for detection system, using the normal distribution load curve at each load feeder, has been used. Voltage stability analysis is estimated by well-know L and VSM indexes. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods, IEEE 14 bus grid and the actual network of Yazd Province are used.

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.

In order to achieve higher compression of medical video, while maintaining high image quality in the region of interest, with low coding complexity, here we propose a new model using H.264/AVC that uses lossless compression in the region of interest, and very high rate, lossy compression in other regions. This paper proposes a new method to achieve fast intra and inter prediction mode decision that is based on coarse macroblocks for intra and inter prediction mode decision of the background region and finer macroblocks for region of interest. Also the macroblocks of the background region are encoded with the maximum quantization parameter allowed by H.264/AVC in order to maximize the number of null coefficients. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a higher compression rate on medical videos with a higher quality of region of interest with low coding complexity when compared to our previous algorithm and other standard algorithms reported in the literature.

Governments attempt to use all available means, including prediction methods, to control the spread of the Coronavirus. In this article, we have developed various models based on artificial neural networks, including multi-layer perceptron, radial basis function, and adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system with different learning algorithms, transfer functions, membership functions, hidden layers, hidden neurons, and kernels. We have identified five factors influencing the Coronavirus outbreak based on the Pearson correlation coefficient approach. These factors are gasoline consumption, internet pressure, number of wedding ceremonies, online transactions, and mask consumption. The accuracy of the developed models is identified by calculating three types of statistical errors, including root mean square error, mean absolute error, and mean absolute percentage error. The results show that the radial basis function model predicts the number of Covid-19 cases for the one month (mid-term) with an accuracy of over 97%. This study provides an efficient approach to predict the number of COVID-19 cases which help policymakers to make strategic decisions, including closing borders, designing supply chains for medical and health equipment, and enacting new laws.

The purpose of this study is to present a new evaluation approach for using solar energy in the water and wastewater industry. Therefore, while consideration of the energy consumption in the six regions of Tehran Water and Wastewater Company, requirements for the installation and operation of photovoltaic systems in this company has been investigated. In the present study, the objective functions are energy consumption costs and greenhouse gas emissions; Also, solar energy potential, increasing population rate and water consumption are the most important independent variables and forecasted electricity consumption, carbon tax, and electricity sales price are also dependent variables. The results of this study, which can be based on using the regression model, show that the increase in electricity consumption and costs are 1.5 and 3 times in this period, respectively. To calculate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, the three scenarios are implemented and compared with the replacement of 5, 20, and 30% of the company required electricity by photovoltaic systems. The reduction in CO2 emissions due to the production of 30% of electricity consumption with solar energy, amounted to 26,712 thousand tons. On the other hand, taxing more than $ 10 per ton of CO2 emissions changes the consumption pattern and reduces the cost of electricity consumption in this industry by $ 5,987,086. Manuscript profile -

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 -

For example, about 196 million people in over 90 countries are exposed to danger of flood water.The increase in the population and the shortage of agricultural lands led to human population movement to the flood water plains and this intensifies the danger of flood water and its effects. But nowadays, considering the destroying effects of flood water on the human societies, structural methods of protection against flood water such as flood water bands and other methods of controlling and directing flood water, can be efficient only when the design capacity of these structures is high. But when these structures break, always a remaining risk exists. In most cases, such structures may be improper or their execution may be impossible because of environmental reasons and therefore non-structural methods are needed. The flood water warning for directing of the remaining risk is necessary and it is one of the most efficient methods of non-structural methods for flood water management. Manuscript profile -

Calculations were performed with MATLAB software and then the statistical indices of correlation coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) and full mean error (MAE) were used to evaluate the performance of the models. Last year's yield and rainfall had an effective role in reducing prediction error and increasing correlation coefficient in both Ann and Anfis methods. Last year's yield and evapotranspiration made the Anfis method more accurate than the Ann method. The results of both Anfis and Ann methods for model L inputs, which included rainfall, relative humidity and last year's yield, showed that this model achieved the highest accuracy among the input models. However, in the Anfis method for model E inputs, which included evapotranspiration, rainfall, relative humidity and minimum temperature, the results showed that it was more accurate than the Ann method. The greatest difference in accuracy in estimating yield between the two Anfis and Ann methods was observed with R inputs model, which includes moisture inputs, Dew point temperatures and maximum temperatures. The presence of radiation parameters at the inputs reduced the accuracy of yield estimation in both methods. Overall, the Anfis method was more accurate in estimating yield than Ann.

Therefore, it is important to study the factors that affect the development of the industrial sector and improve the predictability of this sector. A review of the literature on the development of industry in the economy shows that one of the most important factors affecting its development is the stability of macroeconomics in both economic and political sectors, so that economists today have accepted that economic and political stability is a necessary condition for growth. It is high and continuous in the industry sector of the economy. In this regard, in the present study, the role of political and economic uncertainties on improving the predictability of industrial sector activities in Iran during the period 1991 to 1399 has been investigated. GMM generalized torque method was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that economic and political uncertainties have had negative and significant effects on the development of the industrial sector in Iran. It was also observed that considering political and economic uncertainties can improve the predictability of industrial sector activities. Accordingly, it is concluded that macroeconomic and policy policies in the country should be implemented a way that does not harm economic stability and thus the development of the industrial in the country.

For this purpose, daily information was used in the period of 1396-1401. In order to forecast, time series models and OLS, GARCH and Copula approaches were used. The results showed that trigonometric functions can well explain the behavior of electricity prices, which is caused by the seasonal behavior of electricity prices during one-year periods. In the random part, the estimated values show that the random component has an average of almost zero and the speed of returning to the average in prices is high. The average of the shocks, their negativity and variance are very small. The small average values of the shocks actually show that the shocks that occurred in the price of the electricity market in Iran are very insignificant and more importantly, these shocks were more of the negative type. Regarding the optimal strategy when entering into futures transactions, our advice to players is to use the Copula-Garch method to calculate the optimal ratios for risk hedging, for two reasons. The need for risk hedging is less and as a result the transaction cost is lower, secondly, due to the existing restrictions and especially the low liquidity in energy exchange transactions, it is practically possible to cover more risk than the cash position Manuscript profile -

It is expected that establishment of appropriate Corporate Governance would prevent decrease in quality of financial reports along with making financial reporting process more controllable. In the present research we have used preciseness of prediction of future operational cash currents via operational profit elements as a measurement index from evaluation of financial reporting quality and also relation of off-duty members of board of directors, organizational investors owned share, power concentration, board of directors size, ownership structure, type of ownership, free floating share percentage, auditing quality, internal auditing, financial reporting quality and auditing period were used as Corporate Governance. A total number of 100 companies were selected as sample companies and using comparison test of average of the two societies we would analyze the results. The results achieved from the research indicated that ability index of Corporate Governance which consists of all structural specifications studied in this research is not effective on the quality of financial reporting of the companies admitted in Tehran Stock Exchange. Also in studying the effect of Corporate Governance individually it was observed that only quality of auditing reporting would affect the quality of financial reporting of the companies.

For this purpose, nonlinear and predictable examinations are used to test the existence of determined chaotic trend and nonlinear process in daily time series of Tehran’s stock index from 1387/4/8 to 1392/7/10.The results reflect that sign test proves the non-stochastic nature of price index. The BDS’ results and those of sign test show that stock price index follows a nonlinear process. The independence tests like BDS test, White test, Chow test, test the correlation between observations in which the results are affirmative. Moreover, the cointegration-adjusted tests are used for testing the chaotic process of the price index and the results of both are affirmative. For predicting the stock price index in ongoing periods, we have used ARFIMA, FIGARCH, LSTAR,and ESTAR. Among those models, which examine the existence of long run memory in stock price index, FIGARCH, which tests the long run memory and variance, has the most capacity of accurate prediction. Among the nonlinear models, ESTAR has the most capacity. At the last, prediction is reported for ten periods with the one head process. Manuscript profile -

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 -

Investors' emotions, under the influence of psychological phenomena, direct people's behavior and, in many cases, make people to deviate from the rational behavior. The purpose of this study is to use meta-innovative methods to predict the emotional tendencies of investors. In this study, using 97 financial ratios related to 176 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period between 2006 and 2018, investors' emotional tendencies have been predicted with the help of support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree (DT) techniques.To measure the emotional tendencies of investors, four indicators of relative strength, psychological line, trading volume and stock turnover adjustment rate have been applied. Finally, we have combined these indicators with the help of PCA method. Mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values were used to compare predicting methods. The results of data analysis indicate that the prediction error of the support vector machine method is less than the decision tree. Manuscript profile -

For this pursues, first, it seeks to find the factors affecting the adjusted return of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, taking into account the role of downside risk in the context of information asymmetry. In the second stage, it provides a pattern of forecasting adjusted returns based on downside risk. In fact, the main problem is that several internal and external effective variables affect the adjusted return according to the downside risk, and each of these variables may have positive or negative (ambiguous) effects on the adjusted return according to the downside risk. This study is to investigate the ambiguity about the role of variables affecting adjusted returns. The results of the regression model test show that the variables of capital structure, net profit, return on assets, board of directors, and duality of duties of managing director and chairman of the board at 99% confidence level and variables of dividend ratio and operating cash flow at 95% confidence level have significant effects on the adjusted return.

Hence, different methods and models have been proposed, most of which have been based on assumptions such as the distribution of returns. The kernel distribution and mixture of normal distributions were examined to predict stock return in the present study. To this end, kernel functions and mixtures of normal distributions and related parameters have been estimated using maximization of likelihood function and quartiles 99%, 95% and 90% were computed for each of distributions and for 30 superior enterprises listed in Tehran Security and Exchange (TSE) at first quarter in 2019 as predictor values of stock return. In order to determine precision of prediction methods, MSE and PRED error criteria were employed and the findings showed that mixture of normal distributions and kernel approximation might propose favorable predictions for 5-day stock returns in quartiles 90% of return distribution. Comparison of precision between two methods indicated that kernel approximation, as a non parametric method for prediction of returns, leads to higher precision than mixture of normal distributions.

In order to do that, 5 cryptocurrencies of BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH and EOS as representatives of risky assets were studied with daily frequency during the one year period of 2018 to 2019. Two measures of RMSE and MAE were employed to compare the accuracy of approaches in prediction of returns. In geometric Brownian modeling, the Brownian process-based stochastic differential model for asset prices leads to the fact that the logarithmic return of an asset has a normal distribution with time-dependent parameters. The results of logarithmic returns prediction by both of methods showed that WTs have less error than GBM in returns prediction of BTC, ETH, XRP and BCH cryptocurrencies and for each of accuracy measures, an specific approach has desirable performance for prediction of EOS returns. citing these results it can be concluded that WT in prediction of risky assts returns has less error than GBM method.

Naturally, method MoreToday, investing in gold markets is an important part of any country's economy, so estimating the price of gold is one of the most important topics of study for economists and financial analysts who have developed different approaches and perspectives. Naturally, methods can be durable and suitable for use that have the least investment error and risk. In developing countries such as Iran, due to inflation and uncertainty about the future, the demand for gold to cover the risk of inflation is high.The formation of the Bahar Azadi coin futures contract market in the Commodity Exchange in recent years has also helped to create an organized market to cover risk and also to use arbitrage opportunities in the gold market. The trading statistics of Bahar Azadi coin futures contract have grown significantly since the entry of its first symbol in the trading table of Iran Commodity Exchange, so that it has created an organized market with high trading volume and appropriate liquidity in the field of derivatives trading in the country. In this study, we decided to use two models of stochastic differential equations (Heston and Merton) to predict the price of futures contracts and compare the results. Manuscript profile -

The results of this test indicate that the two indices are coherent in series and their relationships are significant in the long run. Also, the Granger causality test was used to examine the interrelationships between these two indices.The results of this test showed that there is an interaction between the two indices. This means that in the long run, both indices affect each other so net cash inflows to the funds can be a measure for predicting the overall indices trend but with Attention to the behavioral errors identified in similar articles.for predicting the index cannot be relied solely on net cash inflows into the funds.

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 -

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.

On the other hand, one of the key factors in portfolio optimization decisions is related to predict the stock prices. To do this, classical nonlinear mathematical and intelligent models such as regression are commonly used. In the present study, a nonlinear model of support vector regression with multiple outputs is applied to reduce the prediction errors. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, the data of S & P500 index companies in the period 12/09/2016 to 02/08/2021 is used. The results show that the selection of a portfolio based on prediction using multiple vector backup regression due to considering the relationships between outputs simultaneously in terms of Sharp criteria has a better performance than the selection of portfolio based on prediction using regression method.

Deep learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence in which complex problems with numerous parameters and inputs are modeled based on a set of algorithms. In this research, a new framework of deep learning is presented. Using wavelet transform, stacked auto-encoders, and the Long Short-Term Memory or LSTM, we predict the market direction in the future contracts of gold coins of Iran's Commodity Exchange market. The input data is first denoised using the wavelet transformer in the proposed method. Then, using the stacked auto-encoder, the indicators influencing the market direction are identified. Ultimately, these indicators are given as input to the LSTM architecture to predict the market direction. Proposing several new technical indicators to increase the accuracy of the proposed model, adjusting the parameters of the utilized algorithms, including LSTM, for this problem, and suggesting a trading strategy to achieve appropriate profitability are among the contributions of the present study. Investigations reveal that the proposed method outperforms other approaches and achieves higher accuracy and efficiency. Manuscript profile -

However, studies indicate that it is highly sensitive to the selection of parameters and input variables. Hence, the aim of this research is to improve bankruptcy prediction accuracy by combining an advanced support vector machine model with the k-nearest neighbor approach to eliminate erroneous entries. To achieve this, first, by using five financial ratios: current ratio, net profit margin, debt ratio, return on assets, and return of investment from 150 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the 10-year period (2010-2019), and k-nearest neighbor algorithm, the training data will be refined. Then, relying on a support vector machine based on classification penalty, a prediction model will be constructed. The parameters will be estimated, and its validity will be assessed using test data. Finally, a comparison will be made between the outcomes of the proposed model and traditional models.The findings demonstrate that the combination of the k-nearest neighbor models and support vector machine reduces the overall prediction error, and the penalty coefficients of the support vector machine exhibit a high level of statistical significance.

This is an important contribution to the literature since measuring the risk of an actively managed portfolio is problematic due to the fact that managers may change fund risk conditional on market expectations. The period- specific nature of the measure is a significant advantage since historical fund re turns are not required and the beta is not influenced by prior fund returns’ deviations from the bench mark. The methodology employed allows for the development of a time series of fund betas that permits investigation into a number of important Empirical issues. This study is also of practical interest from the perspective of risk management and for both portfolio performance and attribution. Finally, there are many active strategies based on directional forecasts and the approach used here en com passes a significant proportion of these.

Determining the proper pattern for forecasting volatility can play a significant role in decision making. In the old econometric models it is assumed that the component of error constant during the sample period. But in many financial time series it is observed that during periods of volatility is very sever. Under these conditions, the assumption of the exictence of the equivalence of variance is no longer reasonable. In the present paper, the GARCH, IGARCH, EGARCH, GJR-GARCH, FIEGARCH, HYGARCH, and MRS-GARCH two-regime models were evaluated in prediction of OPEC crude oil price volatility during 2010-2016 based on their RMSE error criterion. The results of this evaluation show the superiority of the Markov Switching GARCH Model on the 5 and 22-day horizons. Also, the long-term FIEGARCH memory model in predicting horizons of 1 and 10 days has better performance in predicting oil price volatilities than other competing models. Manuscript profile -

In most of these models, such as the pricing model of capital assets and Black-Scholes, the data distribution is assumed to be normal. This is while the distribution of the total return is not necessarily normal and often has a significant difference from the normal distribution. If such a hypothesis is confirmed, the expected return predicted by these models will not be very effective in financial decisions. The purpose of this research is to model the total return of Tehran Stock Exchange based on the Laplace distribution and examine the dependence of the total return fluctuations on the desired distribution. In order to examine the distribution of the total daily return and its weekly fluctuations, data related to a 15-year period between 1387 and 1401 and R statistical software were used. The data analysis showed that the total daily return followed the Laplace distribution and the weekly fluctuations of the total return followed the distribution obtained based on the Laplace distribution. These findings make the use of models with the assumption of normality of total return to predict stock returns in Tehran Stock Exchange a major challenge and are a clear proof of the ineffectiveness of these models. .

Considering a large number of small enterprises under 25 workers in Iran and the lack of a suitable control banding tool, the COSHH Essentials can be considered an appropriate option. The purpose of the present experimental semi qualitative study was to evaluate the validity of the COSHH Essentials tool. Six processes were selected from a chemical products industry, including the production of silicone glue, polishing, PVC glue, Grease, Twin glue filling, and quality control. Amorphous silica and toluene concentrations were monitored using NIOSH 0600 and NIOSH 1501 in the ambient air of operators. The predicted exposure range (PER) was obtained by combining the control strategies available at the sampling time with exposure predictor (EP) bands in the COSHH Essentials, then compared to silica and toluene concentrations in the air.All exposure data were within the PER for amorphous silica dust and lower or within the PER for toluene. Compared to the acceptable concentration range in hazard bands, the threshold limit value (TLV) for respirable dust is within the acceptable concentration range, while toluene TLV exceeded it. COSHH Essentials is a conservative and safe tool, especially in liquids. Due to its simplicity, employers and health center experts can use the COSHH tool successfully for small enterprises or as a screening tool before a comprehensive risk assessment.

These tools should ideally align with the existing data and quality criteria of bankruptcy prediction models.Research Methodology: To conduct this research, a systematic search was performed on the Web of Science database using keywords such as Bankruptcy, Default, Distress, Failure, Forecasting, Predicting, Prediction, and Insolvency, spanning the years 2015 to 2023. Based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, this search yielded 1000 articles, out of which 49 were ultimately selected and analyzed. The findings from these articles were then summarized in tables. Subsequently, major bankruptcy prediction models were compared based on nine key criteria, and final conclusions were drawn.Findings: Artificial neural networks and support vector machines were found to have the highest accuracy, while multiple personality analysis showed the lowest accuracy. Additionally, artificial neural networks, multiple personality analysis, decision trees, and logistic regression require a large training sample to logically identify and precisely classify patterns. However, case-based reasoning, rough sets, and support vector machines can work with smaller sample sizes.Originality/ Value: The outcomes of this research contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of tools used in developing bankruptcy prediction models and the shortcomings associated with them.

Genetic algorithm (GA) designs the whole architecture of the GMDH network and optimizes its topology. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed GA-GMDH model, its performance was compared with performance of the commonly used statistical techniques of logistic regression (LR) and a relatively new artificial intelligent technique of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). Performance of the designed prediction models depends on the utilized variable selection technique. Therefore, we constructed 12 prediction models through combining the four filtering feature selection methods and the three prediction models. The four feature selection methods of independent samples T-test, correlation matrix (CM), stepwise multiple discriminant analysis (SDA) and principal component analysis (PCA)are combined with prediction models to generate four optimal feature subsets. Empirical data were collected one year prior to failure from Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 1997-2008. For robust assessing of prediction models’ performance, we applied Type-I and Type-II errors, and area under the receiver operative characteristics curve (AUC) measures. Experimental results indicate that our proposed GA-GMDH model has high ability in bankruptcy prediction problem and significantly outperforms ANFIS and LR models in all combinations with four feature selection methods. Meanwhile, the CM method has the best ability in selecting predictive variables in comparison with other feature selection methods. Therefore, CM-GA-GMDH model is determined as the best constructed model for bankruptcy prediction using our particular dataset from TSE. Manuscript profile -

The large number of vehicles that are constantly moving through congested areas in smart cities complicates the availability of a public parking space. This creates challenges for both traffic and residents. With such a large population, road congestion is a serious challenge. It wastes vital resources like fuel, money and most importantly time. Finding a suitable place to park is one of the reasons for traffic jams on highways. This paper proposes an economic forecasting model based on deep learning for long-term economic growth in smart cities. Traffic management is vital for cities in that it ensures that people can move freely around the city. Many cars trying to reach congested areas in smart cities make it difficult to find a public parking lot. This issue is inconvenient for both drivers and residents. A number of traffic management authorities have implemented an artificial neural network to solve this problem, and modern car systems have come with smart parking solutions. The experimental result of the economic forecasting model based on deep learning improves traffic estimation, accurate prediction of traffic flow, traffic management and intelligent parking compared to existing methods Manuscript profile -

In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.

Cement, wat MoreConcrete, an artificial stone composed of cement, aggregate, water, and additives, is extensively utilized in contemporary civil projects. A pivotal characteristic of concrete is its capacity to efficiently serve various purposes and structural requirements. Cement, water, aggregate, and additives are pivotal parameters wherein even minor alterations can significantly impact concrete strength. Among these parameters, the Water/Cement (W/C) ratio holds particular significance due to its inverse correlation with strength. Traditionally, predicting concrete strength solely based on the water-to-cement ratio has been challenging. However, with advancements in AI and machine learning techniques coupled with ample data availability, accurate strength prediction is achievable. This paper presents an analysis of a diverse dataset comprising various concrete tests utilizing machine learning methodologies, followed by a comparative examination of the outcomes. Furthermore, this study scrutinizes a renowned dataset encompassing 1030 experiments, featuring diverse combinations of cement, water, aggregate, etc., employing artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. Model accuracy and result fidelity are evaluated through rigorous sampling methodologies. Initially, the dataset is subjected to analysis utilizing the linear regression algorithm, followed by validation employing the random forest algorithm. The random forest algorithm is employed to predict the water-to-cement ratio and corresponding compressive strength for concrete with a density of 300 kg/m3. Notably, the obtained results exhibit a high level of concordance with experimental and laboratory findings from prior studies. Hence, the efficacy of the random forest algorithm in concrete strength prediction is established, offering promising prospects for future applications in this domain. Manuscript profile
