An optimization-based heuristic for the machine reassignment problem
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
We address the machine reassignment problem proposed in the context of the ROADEF/EURO challenge 2012 in partnership with Google. The problem consists in reassigning a set of processes to a set of multiple-resource machines ...
Metronidazole in conjunction with penicillin neither prevents recurrence nor enhances recovery from peritonsillar abscess when compared with penicillin alone: A prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial
(
Oxford University Press
, 2016 , Article)
Objectives
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of metronidazole in conjunction with penicillin in preventing the recurrence of peritonsillar abscess (PTA) and to learn whether metronidazole enhances ...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify and list critical success factors (CSFs) of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) framework affecting and influencing quality, operational and financial performance of small and medium ...
Joint Optimal Placement, Routing, and Flow Assignment in Wireless Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Sensor node placement optimization has a significant role in wireless sensor networks, especially in structural health monitoring. Since sensor node placement affects the routing, optimization should be Jointly done for ...
Eco-Friendly Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials from Flexible Reduced Graphene Oxide Filled Polycaprolactone/Polyaniline Nanocomposites
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Hybrid nanocomposites have the unique ability of enhancing material properties due to the existing synergistic effect of the fillers. In this study, the authors report such an eco-friendly hybrid nanocomposite comprising ...
Pilot-scale spiral wound membrane assessment for THM precursor rejection from upland waters
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The outcomes of a pilot-scale study of the rejection of trihalomethanes (THMs) precursors by commercial ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (UF/NF) spiral-wound membrane elements are presented based on a single surface water ...
Photoelectrochemical Conversion from Graphitic C3N4 Quantum Dot Decorated Semiconductor Nanowires
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Despite the recent progress of developing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a metal-free photocatalyst, the synthesis of nanostructured g-C3N4 has still remained a complicated and time-consuming approach from its bulk ...
Epitaxial Growth of Lattice-Mismatched Core-Shell TiO2@MoS2 for Enhanced Lithium-Ion Storage
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Core-shell structured nanohybrids are currently of significant interest due to their synergetic properties and enhanced performances. However, the restriction of lattice mismatch remains a severe obstacle for heterogrowth ...
Do changes in current flow as a result of arrays of tidal turbines have an effect on benthic communities?
(
Public Library of Science
, 2016 , Article)
Arrays of tidal energy converters have the potential to provide clean renewable energy for future generations. Benthic communities may, however, be affected by changes in current speeds resulting from arrays of tidal ...
Face Recognition in the Scrambled Domain via Salience-Aware Ensembles of Many Kernels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
With the rapid development of Internet-of-Things (IoT), face scrambling has been proposed for privacy protection during IoT-targeted image/video distribution. Consequently, in these IoT applications, biometric verification ...
