A Moebial Ride through Polanski's Repulsion
(Univ Pittsburgh, 2020)
This article examines Roman Polonski's film Repulsion from a psychoanalytic perspective by attending Julia Kristeva's notion of abjection. This paper deals primarily with two main focal points. First, it focuses on the ...
Surfactant-free one-step fabrication of gelatin/PAAm/MWCNT composites for biomedical applications
(Springer, 2021)
Well-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and gelatin-enhanced polyacrylamide (PAAm) composites were synthesized via a free-radical copolymerization method. MWCNTs were added to the composite mixture in various ...
Using Random Forest Tree Classification for Evaluating Vertical Cross-Sections in Epoxy Blocks to Get Unbiased Estimates for 3D Mineral Map
(Gazi University, 2021)
Areal mineral maps are constructed from the polished sections of particles that settle to the bottom of epoxy resin. However, heavy minerals can preferentially settle to the bottom, making the polished surface rich in heavy ...
Post-synthetically elaborated BODIPY-based porous organic polymers (POPs) for the photochemical detoxification of a sulfur mustard simulant
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
Designing new materials for the effective detoxification of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is of current interest given the recent use of CWAs. Although halogenated borondipyrromethene derivatives (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a ...
Throughput Maximization for Full Duplex Wireless Powered Communication Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
In this paper, we consider a full duplex wireless powered communication network where multiple users with RF energy harvesting capabilities communicate to a hybrid energy and information access point. An optimization ...
Impacts of Load and Generation Volatilities on the Voltage Profiles Improved by Distributed Energy Resources
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
Weather-dependent distributed renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics (PVs) and wind turbines (WT) are increasingly being connected to distribution networks (DNs). Increased penetration of these intermittent sources ...
Voltage Profile Improving and Peak Shaving Using Multi-type Distributed Generators and Battery Energy Storage Systems in Distribution Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
Optimal sizing and siting of distributed generation (DG) units play an important role for improving voltage profile and reducing power losses. Moreover, battery energy storage system (BESS) units may help peak shaving. ...
Realistic Channel Estimation of IEEE 802.11af Systems in TV White Space
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
This work investigates the realistic performance of IEEE 802.11af systems released for the efficient spectrum utilization of TV white space (TVWS). These systems are operated over many contiguous or non-contiguous channels ...
Longitudinal effects of second language on first language narrative skills and executive functions of preschool children
(Selcuk University, 2020)
The present study investigated the longitudinal effects of early exposure to L2-English on L1-Turkish language competence, narrative skills and executive functioning. We asked whether early immersion-like exposure to L2, ...
Physical-layer security in visible light communications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
Optical wireless communications (OWC) and its potential to solve physical layer security (PLS) issues are becoming important research areas in 6G communications systems. In this paper, an overview of PLS in visible light ...
