Inter-trial effects in priming of pop-out: Comparison of computational updating models
(Public Library Science, 2021)
In visual search tasks, repeating features or the position of the target results in faster response times. Such inter-trial 'priming' effects occur not just for repetitions from the immediately preceding trial but also ...
Differential effects of resource scarcity and pathogen prevalence on heterosexual women's facial masculinity preferences
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2021)
The present research focused on how environmental harshness may affect heterosexual women's preferences of potential male mates' facial characteristics, namely masculinity-femininity. The evidence on this issue is mixed ...
Multi-objective Distributed Energy Resource Integration in Radial Distribution Networks
(IEEE, 2021)
Despite numerous studies on the optimal design and planning of distribution networks (DNs), little attention has been paid to improving the reliability of the distribution systems through optimal operation and planning of ...
Children's thinking-for-speaking Bidirectional effects of L1 Turkish and L2 English for motion events
(John Benjamins Publishing Co, 2021)
This study investigates how children lexicalize motion events in their first and second languages, L1-Turkish and L2-English. English is a satellite-framed language that conflates motion with manner expressed in the main ...
Allocation of Distributed Generators Using Parallel Grey Wolf Optimization
(IEEE, 2021)
This paper solves the allocation problem of distributed generators (DGs) in smart grids utilizing a grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm. By parallelizing GWO, it presents the impact of using various number of processors ...
The in-vivo assessment of Turkish propolis and its nano form on testicular damage induced by cisplatin
(Elsevier, 2021)
Objective: Chemotherapeutic drugs, such as cisplatin (CP), which are associated with oxidative stress and apoptosis, may adversely affect the reproductive system. This study tests whether administration of propolis and ...
Design and Practical Implementation of a Parallel-Switched Power Factor Correction Boost Converter
(IEEE, 2021)
In the past years, applications of Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost converter have increased significantly. One recent application field that requires an efficient PFC boost converter is the Wireless Power Transfer ...
Phase transitions of the variety of random-field Potts models
(Elsevier, 2021)
The phase transitions of random-field q-state Potts models in d = 3 dimensions are studied by renormalization-group theory by exact solution of a hierarchical lattice and, equivalently, approximate Migdal-Kadanoff solutions ...
Electric-field induced phase transitions in capillary electrophoretic systems
(Aip Publishing, 2021)
The movement of particles in a capillary electrophoretic system under electroosmotic flow was modeled using Monte Carlo simulation with the Metropolis algorithm. Two different cases with repulsive and attractive interactions ...
"Gruff Old Scientists" and "Rough Old Scholars": The Caricature of Intellectualism in Aldous Huxley's Short Stories
(Masaryk University, 2021)
This essay examines Aldous Huxley's short stories from early "Happily Ever After" to more accomplished "Chawdron" and "The Rest Cure". My analysis shows that criticism of perverted, one-dimensional intellectualism is one ...
