: Metamodels have been used to approximate complex simulations and have many applications with sensitivity analysis, optimization, etc. However, their use in health economics is very limited. Application of artificial neural network (ANN) with a heal...
Body condition score (BCS) is a common tool for indirectly estimating the mobilization of energy reserves in the fat and muscle of cattle that meets the requirements of animal welfare and precision livestock farming for the effective monitoring of in...
In this paper, meteorological parameters, electric field strength and transmitters' output power measured during six months in a TV/FM station. There are 13 frequencies in FM and UHF frequency bands in pilot broadcast station. The analysis of results...

BACKGROUND: Computational prediction of inhibition efficiency (IE) for inhibitor molecules is a crucial supplementary way to design novel molecules that can efficiently inhibit corrosion onto metallic surfaces.
Accurate in silico predictions of chemical substance ecotoxicity has become an important issue in recent years. Most conventional methods, such as the Ecological Structure-Activity Relationship (ECOSAR) model, cluster chemical substances empirically ...
The objectives of this study were (1) to predict ruminal pH and ruminal ammonia and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations by developing artificial neural networks (ANN) using dietary nutrient compositions, dry matter intake, and body weight as inp...
Recent studies have demonstrated that mobile sampling can improve the spatial granularity of land use regression (LUR) models. Mobile sampling campaigns deploying low-cost (<$300) air quality sensors could potentially offer an inexpensive and practic...
Studies of patients afflicted by neurodegenerative diseases suggest that misfolded proteins spread through the brain along anatomically connected networks, prompting progressive decline. Recently, mouse models have recapitulated the cell-to-cell tran...
OBJECTIVE: Lipid peroxidation constitutes a molecular mechanism involved in early Alzheimer Disease (AD) stages, and artificial neural network (ANN) analysis is a promising non-linear regression model, characterized by its high flexibility and utilit...
