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 ...
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 ...
A Load Adaptive Cascade PI Controller for Buck Converters Operating in Wide Load Range in Cathodic Protection Systems
(IEEE, 2021)
This paper proposes a simple cascade PI controller for Buck converter to be used in impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems which aim to operate in wide voltage and current ranges for any load condition. The ...
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 ...
Orbital Characterization Study for the Hydrodynamic Micro Tweezers: Simulated Performance with a Passive Particle
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021)
Trapping and selecting a particle intelligently is aspired for the robotic systems in bioengineering. The key element of the process is not to damage the sample when working at a micro-scale. With physical damage, not only ...
In silico investigation of wound healing potential of some compounds in tubers of Asphodelus species with GSK3-? protein
(Marmara Univ, 2021)
Wound healing is a process that involves biochemical processes such as inflammation and cell proliferation and is controlled by many proteins. It is known that one of the most effective factors in this process is the ...
