(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Background Weight-management camp interventions for obese children are eff ective for short-term weight loss. However, there is little evidence indicating how gains made with such interventions can be maintained in the ...
MODAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ROAD ROUGHNESS RECONSTRUCTION USING DYNAMIC VEHICLE ACCELERATIONS AND ANNS
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Road networks are considered huge and critical infrastructures that support the development and growth of societies. These infrastructures deteriorate over time due to regular usage and/or external environmental factors. ...
Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...

Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ...
