One of the major goals in the process of designing structural components is to achieve the highest possible buckling load of the structural component while keeping the cost and weight at a minimum. This paper illustrates ...

It has been known that the power ultrasound is used as a pretreatment and rarely applied as a simultaneous method to improve grade and recovery during froth flotation processes. This work aimed at investigating the impact ...

Glycan-based alginate hydrogels have great potential in creating new vehicles with responsive behavior and tunable properties for biomedicine. However, precise control and tunability in properties present major barrier for ...

In this paper, a two step multi-objective optimization framework of renewable energy planning is proposed for Turkey. In the first step, optimization process is performed and in the second step a multicriteria decision ...

We analyze the dependence structure of economic policy uncertainty in four Latin American economies (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico) using vine copula modeling with various forms of tail dependence. Our results suggest ...

Context. A comparison of solar and stellar brightness variations is hampered by the difference in spectral passbands that are used in observations, and also by the possible difference in the inclination of the solar and ...

Successful short-term implementation of nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys as implants has been a motivation for the development of long-term applications. However, rendering these as safe implant materials is challenging. The ...

Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and ytterbium (Yb)-doped Y2O3 particles were synthesized via the sol-gel method from the aqueous solution of their nitrate salts. The synthesized powders were then deposited on Corning glass substrates ...

In recent years, Janus interface materials with wettability contrast have attracted remarkable attention because of their beneficial properties and versatile potential applications in materials science including transport, ...

Purpose As the global freight transport network has experienced high vulnerability and threats from both natural and man-made disasters, as a result, a huge amount of data is generated in freight transport system in form ...
