Solution approaches for the bi-objective Skiving Stock Problem
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023)
The Skiving Stock Problem (SSP) aims to determine an optimal plan for producing as many large objects as possible by combining small items. The skiving process may need different considerations depending on the production ...
Enhancing multiple-choice question answering through sequential fine-tuning and Curriculum Learning strategies
(Springer London Ltd, 2023)
With the transformer-based pre-trained language models, multiple-choice question answering (MCQA) systems can reach a particular level of performance. This study focuses on inheriting the benefits of contextualized language ...

(Univ Pittsburgh, Univ Library System, 2012)
The Maysles brothers' 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens, portrays the lives of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edith, known as Little Edie, the aunt and first cousin, respectively, of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. ...
Improvement of mechanical strength of mortars by different morphological zinc oxide nanoparticles
(ICE Publishing, 2022)
This study presents novel nano-mixtures containing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance the mechanical properties of cement mortars. Different morphological ZnO NPs were synthesised through the green sonochemical ...
Evaluating the phyto-complexity and poly-pharmacology of spices: The case of Aframomum melegueta K. Schum (Zingiberaceae)
(Elsevier, 2022)
The seeds of Aframomum melegueta K. Schum (grains of paradise, Zingiberaceae) are used as a common spice in African countries and a fine condiment in the European cuisine. In this study, we evaluated the phytochemical ...
Evaluating and selecting sustainable logistics service providers for medical waste disposal treatment in the healthcare industry
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023)
Health institutes are structurally growing depending on the population increase and escalating demands for health services. As a negative result, the health industry produces more healthcare waste daily. Its efforts and ...
Drug repositioning to propose alternative modulators for glucocorticoid receptor through structure-based virtual screening
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022)
Drug repositioning has recently become one of the widely used drug design approaches in proposing alternative compounds with potentially fewer side effects. In this study, structure-based pharmacophore modelling and docking ...
Sensitivity of computational fluid dynamics simulations against soft errors
(Springer Wien, 2021)
Computational capabilities of the largest high performance computing systems have increased by more than 100 folds in the last 10 years and keep increasing substantially every year. This increase is made possible mostly ...
Recycling Newton-Krylov algorithm for efficient solution of large scale power systems
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023)
Power flow calculations are crucial for the study of power systems, as they can be used to calculate bus voltage magnitudes and phase angles, as well as active and reactive power flows on lines. In this paper, a new approach, ...
Scarcity improves economic valuations when cognitively salient
(Elsevier, 2023)
In an influential article, Shah et al. (2015) hypothesized that resource scarcity weakens the effect of irrelevant contextual factors on economic valuations. The hypothesis that scarcity frames value qualifies the applicability ...
