Heuristic Optimization Approaches for Capacitor Sizing and Placement: A Case Study in Kazakhstan
(Mdpi, 2022)
Two methods for estimating the near-optimal positions and sizes of capacitors in radial distribution networks are presented. The first model assumes fixed-size capacitors, while the second model assumes controllable ...
Profitability and drug discovery
(Oxford Univ Press, 2022)
Pharmaceutical firms are highly profitable due to high markups enabled by high drug prices. This is justified by the argument that high profits provide incentives for innovation and help fund high research and development ...
Spin-s spin-glass phases in the d=3 Ising model
(Amer Physical Soc, 2021)
All higher-spin (s >= 1/2) Ising spin glasses are studied by renormalization-group theory in spatial dimension d = 3, exactly on a d = 3 hierarchical model and, simultaneously, by the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation on the ...
THE INFINITE WARDROBE: FEMALE CONSUMERS' VALUE PERCEPTIONS REGARDING COLLABORATIVE CONSUMPTION OF APPAREL
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2021)
Understanding the potential factors and underlying mechanisms to engage in collaborative consumption practices has become a significant concern for academics and practitioners. However, collaborative consumption research ...
Perceived Intensities of Normal and Shear Skin Stimuli Using a Wearable Haptic Bracelet
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2022)
Our aim is to provide effective interaction with virtual objects, despite the lack of co-location of virtual and real-world contacts, while taking advantage of relatively large skin area and ease of mounting on the forearm. ...
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 ...
Phenolic Profile, Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Activities of Leaves from Two Cassia and Two Senna Species
(Mdpi, 2022)
Several species within the genera Cassia or Senna have a treasure of traditional medicines worldwide and can be a promising source of bioactive molecules. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the phenolic ...
A new triazolothiadiazine derivative inhibits stemness and induces cell death in HCC by oxidative stress dependent JNK pathway activation
(Nature Portfolio, 2022)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly heterogeneous cancer, and resistant to both conventional and targeted chemotherapy. Recently, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been shown to decrease the incidence ...
3D self-assemble formation of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-doped polyacrylamide (PAAm) composite hydrogels
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2022)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm), a renowned member of the hydrogel class, has many uses throughout a wide range of industrial processes, including water absorbed diapers, contact lenses, wastewater treatment, biomedical applications ...
