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 ...
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 ...
Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortars Incorporating Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2022)
In this study, the effects of zero-valent iron (ZVI) nanoparticles (NPs) on the mechanical performance of cementitious composites were investigated. For this purpose, the use of a novel nanomaterial containing ZVI NPs ...
Distributed energy resource allocation using multi-objective grasshopper optimization algorithm
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2021)
The penetration of small-scale generators (DGs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) into the distribution grid is growing rapidly and reaching a high percentage of installed generation capacity. These units can play ...
Leverage, corporate governance, and export intensity of heterogeneous firms: micro-level evidence for Pakistan
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022)
This study attempts to analyse the impact of leverage and corporate governance on export intensity of manufacturing firms quoted on Pakistan stock exchange for period 2013-2019. The results of a two-step system GMM method ...
Turkey's public-private partnership experience: a political economy perspective
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023)
Public-private partnerships (PPP) are the contractual arrangements between public and private parties to deliver infrastructure and services in which costs, risks, and benefits are shared. Good governance of PPPs, traditionally ...
The applications of the routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPL) on the internet of mobile things
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2022)
Internet of Mobile Things (IoMT) have become very popular recently. The routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (RPL) is standardized for static topologies. However, mobility is the nature of IoT. Mobility serves ...
Effect of diclofenac sodium on union of tibial fractures in rats
(2002)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used for 7 to 10 days after fracture because of their effects on bone metabolism. This study evaluated the effect of diclofenac sodium, administered at clinical dosage and ...
An online diary study testing the role of functional and dysfunctional self-licensing in unhealthy snacking
(Academic Press, 2023)
In the present study, we aimed to investigate how two types of self-licensing (functional and dysfunctional self-licensing) are related to unhealthy snack consumption. Self-licensing refers to the act of using justifications ...
