A novel model based on the fuzzy Grey Relational Analysis (F-GRA) approach for selecting the appropriate high-speed train set
(Springer, 2023)
The high-speed train (HST) system is one of the most critical components of national and international passenger transportation networks. Selecting the appropriate train sets is a critical task for railway operators to ...
The Penetration of European Banking into Ottoman Lands During the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023)
We discuss the development of 'modern' banking in core Ottoman lands during the latter half of nineteenth century. We present evidence showing considerable local financial sophistication prior to European entry around 1856. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
ESG performance and dividend payout: A channel analysis

This paper investigates the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on corporate dividend policy. We employ a panel data set comprised of 1094 non-financial listed firms in 21 European countries ...
Modeling repair demand in existence of a nonstationary installed base
(Elsevier, 2023)
Life cycles of products consist of 3 phases, namely growth, maturity, and decline phases. Modeling repair demand is particularly difficult in the growth and decline stages due to nonstationarity. In this study, we suggest ...
Nano-design of ultra-efficient reversible block based on quantum-dot cellular automata
(Zhejiang Univ Press, 2023)
Reversible logic has recently gained significant interest due to its inherent ability to reduce energy dissipation, which is the primary need for low-power digital circuits. One of the newest areas of relevant study is ...
