Optimizing Non-linear Granular Layer Coefficients of a Flexible Pavement for Mechanistic-Empirical Method
(2021)
In recent years, mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design methods are preferred in the design of
flexible pavements instead of empirical methods using equations based on the road
performance tests. However, the calibration of ...
Effect of functional grading on the performance of flexible pavements
(2021)
Fatigue failure is an important type of pavement distress which is considered in the pavement design. In
this study, it is aimed to increase the fatigue strength of the pavement without using any additives. For this
purpose, ...
Novel automatic group identification approaches for group recommendation
(Elsevier, 2021)
Group recommender systems are specialized in suggesting preferable products or services to a group of users rather than an individual by aggregating personal preferences of group members. In such expert systems, the initial ...
Effects of nano-sized titanium dioxide powder and ultraviolet light on superficial veins in a rabbit model
(Wroclaw Medical University, 2021)
Background. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely used in many fields such as food, cosmetics, and paper industries. Studies on the photocatalytic properties of TiO2 on living tissue are limited.
Objectives. To examine the ...
Comparison of one-year patency rates of end-to-side and side-to-side anastomosis technique in proximal forearm region radial-cephalic fistulas
(Sage, 2021)
Objectives: In this study, the effects of anastomosis techniques on the results of patients with autogenous radialcephalic
proximal forearm fistula were investigated.
Methods: Patients who underwent radial-cephalic ...
Nanoparticles with PDT and PTT synergistic properties working with dual NIR-light source simultaneously
(2021)
A non-toxic nano system using a cleverly designed dual light can be an important treatment strategy in
cancer therapy. Here, we propose a unique concept of synergistic non-toxic nanoplatform, which
operates with dual ...
Association between lower extremity venous insufficiency and duration of atrial fibrillation
(Sage, 2021)
Objective: Physiologic studies have shown that atrium has an active role in venous blood return from lower extremity.
In this context we investigated the association between AF and chronic venous disease (CVD).
Methods: ...
Developing of a Novel Integrated MCDM MULTIMOOSRAL Approach for Supplier Selection
(2021)
The main aim of the article is to propose a new multiple criteria decision-making approach for selecting alternatives, the newly-developed MULTIMOOSRAL approach, which integrates advantages of the three well-known and ...
A GREY HYBRID MODEL TO SELECT THE OPTIMAL THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS PROVIDER
(2021)
Enterprises need to work with a proper third-party logistics provider to
reduce costs and increase their logistics performance; so the third-party
logistics (3PL) provider selection problem is a significant one for them. ...
Selection of insulation materials with PSI-CRITIC based CoCoSo method
(2021)
The performance effect of construction on energy conservation substantially depends upon application of correct materials and energy saving
methodologies. A sizable financial impact is accomplished through insulated walls. ...
