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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
ESG performance and dividend payout: A channel analysis
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2023)
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 ...
Investigation of dynamic micromechanical properties of biodegradable elastic material by continuous stiffness measurement analysis
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023)
Micromechanical properties of polymeric materials play a critical role in various biological applications in terms of their biocompatibility and mechanical durability. Apart from material properties such as modulus and ...
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 ...
A new QoS-aware method for production scheduling in the industrial internet of things using elephant herding optimization algorithm
(Springer, 2022)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical items implanted with software, sensors, etc., to link and exchange data with other devices. These devices vary in complexity from common household items to sophisticated ...
