Prediction of biogas production from chemically treated co-digested agricultural waste using artificial neural network by Almomani F.

“…An ANN model consists of three layers, 15 neutrons and 260 epochs accurately predict the CMP with 99.1% of data within ±10% deviation of the mean experimental value. The developed model can be used to forecast the CMP as a function of operating temperature, the substrate composition, and chemical dose, and can be used for scaling-up and cost analysis purposes.…”

Independent and combined effects of antioxidant supplementation and circuit resistance training on selected adipokines in postmenopausal women by Saeidi, Ayoub

“…These findings suggest that Zataria Multiflora supplementation by itself has little effect on measured adipokines; however, its combination with CRT produced noticeable effects on circulating levels of these adipokines, even more than CRT alone. Consequently, a combination of CRT and Zataria Multiflora supplementation may represent a potentially beneficial non-pharmacologic intervention on some selected adipokines in postmenopausal women.…”
