Investigation of boiler energy consumption in the gas refinery units using RSM ANN and Aspen HYSYS.

In order to lower total energy consumption, this study focuses on optimizing energy use in refinery boilers. Using Aspen HYSYS simulations and modeling approaches like Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM), data from 579 days of boiler operation was gathered and examined. Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) techniques were used in the ANN modeling.

Comparative Evaluation of Canal Transport and Centralization Between ProTaper Next and XP-endo Shaper Systems Using CBCT Analysis: An In Vitro Study.

This study compared the apical transportation and centering ratio of ProTaper Next (PTN) and XP-endo Shaper (XPS) nickel titanium (NiTi) rotary files in curved root canals using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The current in vitro study involved the mesiobuccal canals of mesial roots in 44 extracted mandibular first molars that exhibited apical curvature ranging from 10° to 30°. Two experimental groups were randomly formed from the teeth ( = 22) and subjected to instrumentation with PTN and XPS.

Retrieval of carbon and inorganic phosphorus during hydrothermal carbonization: ANN and RSM modeling.

In this study, modeling and optimization of Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of Poultry litter were conducted to convert it into high-value materials. The aim was to understand the process and predict the effect of the influencing parameters on the product properties. The recovery of Inorganic Phosphorous (IP) and Carbon (C) was regarded as the model's response, although temperature and reaction time were thought to be important variables.

Pupillary Light Reflex and Menace Response in Neonatal Camel Calves (Camelus dromedarius).

Background: Pupillary light reflex (PLR) and menace response are among the tests used in neurological and ophthalmic examinations in animals.

Objective: The intent of this study was to investigate the development of the PLR and menace response in neonatal camel calves.

Methods: Thirty healthy camel calves were studied after birth until the menace response and PLR were well established.

Serological Survey of Antibodies Against PPR Virus in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran.

Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality in small ruminants. A clinical report of this disease in camels has been made in Iran; however, no accurate information is available about infection with this virus in the camel population of Iran.

Objectives: This study was designed and conducted to detect any trace of seroconversion in dromedary camels in Iran.
