Efficient application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in nano-devices and nano-materials requires comprehensive understanding of their mechanical properties. As observations suggest size dependent behaviour, non-classical ...

Objective: Accumulating empirical research has emphasized that a wide range of online activities-such as using social networking sites-can be performed in order to compensate unattained needs or to cope with negative affect ...

Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov's valence-dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) ...

Distributed flow shop scheduling is a very interesting research topic. This paper studies the distributed permutation flow shop scheduling problem with mixed no-idle constraints, which have important applications in practice. ...

The friction coefficients of single-layer epitaxial graphene grown on the Si-terminated and C-terminated faces of Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate were measured under ambient conditions using Friction Force Microscope (FFM). ...

The investigation of sediment transport in tropical rivers is essential for planning effective integrated river basin management to predict the changes in rivers. The characteristics of rivers and sediment in the tropical ...

This study uses Dove's (Turkish) TV advertisement "My Hair Is beyond the Rules" to develop a feminist critique of the new advertising method known as femvertising. The study begins by identifying four common points shared ...
