The use of a single set of outriggers equipped with oil viscous dampers increases the damping ratio of tall buildings in about 6–10%, depending on the loading conditions. However, could this ratio be further increased by ...

Building sector consumes a greater portion of energy for heating and cooling applications. The utilization of fossil fuels for space and water heating in buildings cause a negative effect on the environment by producing ...

Effects of chitosan coating combined with sumac on the quality of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets stored in refrigerated condition (4°C) for 12 days were evaluated. The treatments in this study were—T1, control; ...

Food loss in supply chain is a growing problem due to its environmental, social and economic impacts. Especially in emerging economies losses mostly occur in the first stages of the supply chain including agricultural ...

In this research, a genetic programming (GP) method is proposed for producing pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) for lightweight devices, especially wireless identification and sensing platform (WISP) family devices. ...

Is the value spread useful for forecasting returns on quantitative equity strategies for country selection? To test this, we examine a sample of 120 country-level equity strategies replicated within 72 stock markets for ...

This paper presents faster inversion-free point addition formulas for the curve y(1 + ax2) = cx(1 + dy2). The proposed formulas improve the point doubling operation count record (I, M, S, D, a are arithmetic operations ...

In the software engineering, we use the words 'evolution', 'improvement', 'enhancement', 'development', 'change' or 'maintenance' to emphasize the activities after the delivery of a software product. These isomorphic words ...

In this paper, the microstrip to Substrate Integrated Waveguide(SIW) transition bandpass filter is designed and fabricated. It can be used in satellite communication, 5G and radar technology. SIW waveguide conditions and ...

In this paper, we consider a general 2-neuron network model with reaction–diffusion term and time delay. We study the effect of time delay in kinetic terms of reaction–diffusive system. We mainly investigate the effects ...
