Persia was the early name for the territory that is currently recognized as Iran. Iran's proud history starts with the Achaemenid Empire, which began in the 6th century BCE (c. 550). The Iranians provided numerous innovative ...
Performance Analysis of Saccades for Primary and Confirmatory Target Selection
(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2022)
In eye-gaze-based selection, dwell suffers from several issues, e.g., the Midas Touch problem. Here we investigate saccade-based selection techniques as an alternative to dwell. First, we designed a novel user interface ...
Synthesis and molecular modeling of MetAP2 of thiosemicarbazides, 1,2,4-triazoles, thioethers derived from (S)-Naproxen as possible breast cancer agents
(Elsevier, 2022)
New thiosemicarbazides (3, 5-6), 1,2,4-triazoles (14-15) and thioethers (22-68) from derived (S)-Naproxen were synthesized in this study. The structure of these compounds were elucidated by spectral (FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 ...
Round-robin scheduling with regard to rest differences
(Springer, 2023)
Fairness is a key consideration in designing sports schedules. When two teams play against each other, it is only fair to let them rest the same amount of time before their game. In this study, we aim to reduce, if not ...
A hybrid approach for latency and battery lifetime optimization in IoT devices through offloading and CNN learning
(Elsevier, 2023)
Offloading assists in overcoming the resource constraints of specific elements, making it one of the primary technical enablers of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT devices with low battery capacities can use the edge to ...
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and behavioral restrictions on electricity consumption and the daily demand curve in Turkey
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022)
The rapid spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many sectors, including the electricity sector. The reliability of the electricity sector is critical to the economy, health, and welfare of society; therefore, supply and ...
Inclusive globalization or old wine in a new bottle? China-led globalization in sub-Saharan Africa
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022)
This article questions whether China's economic initiatives lead to 'inclusive globalization' or tend to sustain the distributional inequalities of neoliberal globalization in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. It argues ...
A multi-objective optimization evaluation framework for integration of distributed energy resources
(Elsevier, 2021)
Renewable distributed generation and energy storage systems (ESSs) have been a gamechanger for a reliable and sustainable energy supply. However, this new type of generation should be optimally planned and operated to ...
Minimum Length Scheduling for Multi-Cell Full Duplex Wireless Powered Communication Networks
(Mdpi, 2021)
Wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) will be a major enabler of massive machine type communications (MTCs), which is a major service domain for 5G and beyond systems. These MTC networks will be deployed by using ...
