Investigating and counteracting popularity bias in group recommendations
(Elsevier, 2021)
Popularity bias is an undesirable phenomenon associated with recommendation algorithms where popular items tend to be suggested over long-tail ones, even if the latter would be of reasonable interest for individuals. Such ...
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 ...
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 ...
Evaluation of the microhardness of different resin-based dental restorative materials treated with gastric acid: Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis
(Wiley, 2021)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the microhardness, relative surface roughness,
and elemental changes of resin-based dental restorative materials (RDRMs) after gastric
acid treatment. Five different RDRMs (Group 1 ...
Efficient adsorption of Basic Blue 41 from textile wastewaters by natural and magnetically modified Manisa-Gordes clinoptilolite
(Elsevier, 2021/12/1)
A new magnetic zeolite was prepared by the chemical co-precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the presence of natural
Manisa- G ̈ordes clinoptilolite. The adsorption of Basic Blue 41 (BB41) from aqueous solutions on natural ...
Synthesis and characterization of chitosan–vermiculite composite beads for removal of uranyl ions: isotherm, kinetics and thermodynamics studies
(Springer, 2021)
In this study, a new material containing Chitosan (Ch)–Vermiculite (V) composite beads was synthesized with epichlorohydrin cross-linking agent and used to remove uranyl ions from the aqueous solution. The prepared new ...
Neuro-fuzzy modeling of deformation parameters for fusion-barriers
(Science Direct, 2021)
The fusion-barrier distribution is very sensitive to the structure of the colliding nuclei such as nuclear quadrupole and hexadecapole deformation parameters and their signs. If the nuclei that enter the fusion reaction ...
An investigation of corrosive effects on zirconia with different crystal structures
(Wiley, 2021)
This study aimed to compare the time-related corrosive resistance in different corrosive solution environments after sintering of zirconia with different crystal structures. The zirconia samples were produced in pellet ...
