Various criteria feature in blood supply chain (BSC) designs, where cost-based and time-based are the most commonly found in the literature. In the current study, total annual cost is used together with a new time-based ...

A naval task group (TG) is a collection of naval combatants and auxiliaries that are grouped together for the accomplishment of one or more missions. Ships forming a TG are located in predefined sectors. We define determination ...

The organ segmentation in computed tomography (CT) examination is a tedious and error prone task. The local similarity of the pixels from different organs, and the differences between the pixels of the same organ observed ...

A penta-band printed monopole antenna based on a hexagonal open loop shape is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna demonstrated a variety in the polarization. Antenna is loaded with some parts and two stair-shaped ...

This study has focused on the influence of size and content of SiC particle incorporation on the wetting behavior of the Ticusil brazing filler alloy and on its brazing performance in C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints. ...

A comparison was established between two iterative Fourier transform algorithms (IFTAs), such as the original Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) and the mixed-region amplitude freedom (MRAF) algorithms, for the hologram reconstruction ...

The radiation shielding properties of three different stainless steels have been investigated. For this purpose, linear attenuation coefficients at photon energy levels of 662 keV and 1250 keV have been mea sured. The ...

Concept-Based Sentiment Analysis (CBSA) methods are considered to be more advanced and more accurate when it compared to ordinary Sentiment Analysis methods, because it has the ability of detecting the emotions that conveyed ...

In this study, a decision support system (DSS) based on the interactive use of location models and geographical information systems (GIS) was developed to determine the optimal positions for air defence weapons and radars. ...

In this work we present the results of a detailed theoretical research for the small Li(n)B(m) clusters and their hydrogen storage properties by means of density functional theory. All calculations were performed by using ...
