Constrained metric learning by permutation inducing isometries
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The choice of metric critically affects the performance of classification and clustering algorithms. Metric learning algorithms attempt to improve performance, by learning a more appropriate metric. Unfortunately, most of ...
Generic medicines entry into the Malaysian pharmaceutical market
(
Pro Pharma Communications International
, 2016 , Article)
Due to the rising costs of pharmaceuticals and a prevailing economic crisis, the availability of generic equivalents of trademark innovator medicines has become crucial to the Malaysian healthcare system. In 2003, Malaysia ...
International note: Prediction of mathematics work ethic and performance from behavioral, normative, and control beliefs among Qatari adolescents
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
Over half-a-million adolescents take part in each cycle of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). Yet often, researchers and policy makers across the globe tend to focus their attention primarily on the ...
A molecular dynamics study on aminoacid-based ionic liquids
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of aminoacid based ionic liquids are studied using classic molecular dynamic simulations. Ionic liquids comprising glycine, serine, alanine and phenyl alanine anions combined with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, ...
Identification of Adolescents with Adiposities and Elevated Blood Pressure and Implementation of Preventive Measures Warrants the Use of Multiple Clinical Assessment Tools
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Background: The burden of abdominal adiposity has increased globally, which is recognized as a key condition for the development of obesity-related disorders among youth, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, ...
Effect of two types of graphene nanoplatelets on the physico-mechanical properties of linear low-density polyethylene composites
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of two types of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the physico-mechanical properties of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) was investigated. The addition of these two types of GNPs - designated as grades ...
Solar hydrogen production via a samarium oxide-based thermochemical water splitting cycle
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
The computational thermodynamic analysis of a samarium oxide-based two-step solar thermochemical water splitting cycle is reported. The analysis is performed using HSC chemistry software and databases. The first (solar-based) ...
Optimization and Prediction of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Graphene/LLDPE Nanocomposites by Using Artificial Neural Networks
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
The focus of this work is to develop the knowledge of prediction of the physical and chemical properties of processed linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/graphene nanoplatelets composites. Composites made from LLDPE ...
Influence of the heteroatom on the optoelectronic properties and transistor performance of soluble thiophene-, selenophene- and tellurophene-vinylene copolymers
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
We report the first soluble poly(3-dodecyl tellurophenylene-vinylene) polymer (P3TeV) by Stille copolymerization and compare its properties to the analogous thiophene and selenophene containing polymers. The optical band ...
A new numerical method for heat equation subject to integral specifications
(
International Scientific Research Publications
, 2016 , Article)
We develop a numerical technique for solving the one-dimensional heat equation that combine classical and integral boundary conditions. The combined Laplace transform, high-precision quadrature schemes, and Stehfest inversion ...
