Disaster related social media content processing for sustainable cities
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The current study offers a hybrid convolutional neural networks (CNN) model that filters relevant posts and categorises them into several humanitarian classifications using both character and word embedding of textual ... -
Disaster-Resilient Design of Manufacturing Facilities Through Process Integration: Principal Strategies, Perspectives, and Research Challenges
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2020 , Article)Extreme events cause significant damage and disruption to the manufacturing sector, associated supply chains, and adjacent communities. These disastrous shocks may include natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, floods, ... -
Disclosing Agent for Resin Composite Based on Adsorption Surface Treatment
( American Chemical Society , 2021 , Article)A composite disclosing agent can help dentists distinguish resin boundaries from the tooth structure and facilitate its complete removal while avoiding damage to the surrounding sound tooth structures. In this study we ... -
Discontinuous coupling and transition from synchronization to an intermittent transient chimera state
( Sharif University of Technology , 2021 , Article)Coexistence of coherent and incoherent clusters, called chimera state, has been observed in different coupling configurations. A majority of studies have considered a static scheme for the network. In this paper, synchronization ... -
A Discontinuous PWM Method for Balancing the Neutral Point Voltage in Three-Level Inverter-Fed Variable Frequency Drives
( IEEE , 2008 , Article)The paper describes a new discontinuous carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (PWM) method for use in variable frequency drives (VFD) driven by three-level inverters. The method introduces three different switching patterns ... -
Discontinuous space vector pulse width modulation techniques for a five-phase quasi Z-source inverter
( IEEE , 2015 , Conference Paper)In this paper, discontinuous space vector pulse width modulation for a five-phase quasi Z-source inverter is presented. Two schemes are introduced for the continuous SVM of five-phase qZSI (SVQ1 & SVQ2) and two schemes of ... -
Discourse relation recognition in translation: a relevance-theory perspective
( Routledge , 2016 , Article)The use of discourse markers in argumentation is an area in which the rhetorical traditions of Arabic and English diverge. While English allows implicit logical links, Arabic demands explicitly marked coherence. Such ... -
Discoursing ‘democratic knowledge’ & knowledge production in North Africa
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Other)North Africa (interchangeably used with the term ‘Maghrib’) has historically featured as a contributor to Euro-Med cultures and civilisations. Mesopotamia, Egypt and Phoenicia all at one point in time or another mediated ... -
Discovering citizens reaction toward e-government: factors in e-government adoption
( TECSI FEA USP , 2014 , Article)E-government has been considered as one approach for changing the face of government in the eyes of the citizenry. Therefore, citizens’ socialization in relation to their engagement with e-government should be explored. ... -
Discovering influential users in micro-blog marketing with influence maximization mechanism
(2012 , Conference Paper)Micro-blog marketing has become a main business model for social networks nowadays. On social networking sites (e.g., Twitter), micro-blog marketing enables the advertisers to put ads to attract customers to buy their ... -
Discovery and systematic characterization of risk variants and genes for coronary artery disease in over a million participants
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)The discovery of genetic loci associated with complex diseases has outpaced the elucidation of mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) ... -
Discovery of new therapeutic targets in ovarian cancer through identifying significantly non-mutated genes
( BioMed Central Ltd , 2022 , Article)Background: Mutated and non-mutated genes interact to drive cancer growth and metastasis. While research has focused on understanding the impact of mutated genes on cancer biology, understanding non-mutated genes that are ... -
Discovery of Novel Pyridine Derivatives as Anti-Cancer Agents
(2015 , Master Thesis)The International Agency for Research on Cancer indicated that cancer burden was raised in 2012 to 14.1 million incidence cases and 8.2 mortality cases. Consequently, novel approaches are urgently required for further ... -
Discrepancy in MALDI-TOF MS identification of uncommon Gram-negative bacteria from lower respiratory secretions in patients with cystic fibrosis
( Dovepress , 2015 , Article)Introduction: Early identification of microbial organisms from respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is important to guide therapeutic decisions. The objective was to compare the accuracy of ... -
Discrepancy in the Critical State Void Ratio of Poorly Graded Sand due to Shear Strain Localization
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2020 , Article)The critical state (CS) concept is a theoretical framework that models the constitutive behavior of soils, including sand and other granular materials. It supports the notion of a unique postfailure state, where the soil ... -
Discrete Element Modeling Of Railroad Ballast Under Simulated Train Loading
(2019 , Master Thesis)Ballasted tracks have been widely used in many countries around the world. Ballast layer is the main element in ballasted track. After service, ballast aggregates degrade and deform. Periodical maintenance for ballast ... -
Discrete event simulation for sustainable batch production in food processing
