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 ...

A new framework is proposed to assess web-based information systems (WISs) which is domain-independent, that is, can be applied for profit seeking as well as service oriented or non-profit seeking organizations. Assessment ...

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 ...

Feature selection has become an indispensable machine learning process for data preprocessing due to the ever-increasing sizes in actual data. There have been many solution methods proposed for feature selection since the ...

CAN FD is a new standard which provides fast. data rate while preserving the compatibility with CAN (controller area network). In this paper, a Configurable IP core architecture (A-CAN) which is compatible with the CAN FD ...
