Extraction of sunflower oil with supercritical CO2: Experiments and modeling
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2006)
Extraction of sunflower oil from sunflower seeds (Heliantus annuus L.) using supercritical CO2 was studied. The shrinking core model was applied to the modeling of the packed-bed extraction process. The experimental data ...
Deformational behaviour of continental lithosphere deduced from block rotations across the North Anatolian fault zone in Turkey
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 1997)
Theoretical considerations of lithosphere deformation across transform plate boundaries predict an expression in terms of distributed deformation. The magnitude of rotation is expected to diminish away from the fault zone ...
Gypsum: An additive for stabilization of swelling clay soils
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Low rise buildings are particularly vulnerable to ground movements sourced from swelling and shrinking of the expansive clay soils. Geotechnical engineers have long recognized that swelling of expansive clays caused by ...
Photo-degradation of some dyes using Ag-loaded titaniumdioxide
(KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL, 2001)
The photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes using TiO2 and silver-loaded TiO2 has been studied. The dyes which were chosen (methyl violet, a cationic dye; Cibacron Blue FMR, a reactive dye; and Maxilon Red GRL, a mono ...
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 ...
Treating adverse effects of blockbuster bias on beyond-accuracy quality of personalized recommendations
(Elsevier, 2022)
Collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms are vulnerable against the popularity bias, including the most popular items repeatedly into the produced ranked lists. However, the research on popularity bias focuses ...
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 ...
An entropy empowered hybridized aggregation technique for group recommender systems
(Elsevier, 15.03.2021)
Group recommender systems aim to suggest appropriate products/services to a group of users rather than individuals. These recommendations rely solely on determining group preferences, which is accomplished by an aggregation ...
