A Bi-layered parallel training architecture for large-scale convolutional neural networks
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2019 , Article)
Benefitting from large-scale training datasets and the complex training network, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely applied in various fields with high accuracy. However, the training process of CNNs is very ...
Use of rice husk as an effective sorbent for the removal of cerium ions from aqueous solution: Kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
In this research, the sportive removal of cerium ions (Ce (IV) from aqueous solution by rice husk (RH) has been studied in batch mode at ambient temperature. The effect of operational parameters such as contact time, amount ...
Common Fixed Point Results of Set Valued Maps for Aφ-Contraction and Generalized ϕ-Type Weak Contraction
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The solutions for many real life problems may be obtained by interpreting the given problem mathematically in the form f(x)=x . One such example is that of the famous Borsuk–Ulam theorem in which, using some fixed point ...
Prediction-based delay optimization data collection algorithm for underwater acoustic sensor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The past years have seen a rapid development of autonomous underwater vehicle-aided (AUV-aided) data-gathering schemes in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs). The use of AUVs efficiently reduces energy consumption ...
Volatility forecasting, downside risk, and diversification benefits of Bitcoin and oil and international commodity markets: A comparative analysis with yellow metal
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
This study examines the diversification and hedging properties of Bitcoin (BTC) and gold assets for oil and S&P GSCI investors. We model and forecast the volatility performance of the pairs BTC–oil, gold–oil, BTC–S&P GSCI, ...
Antihypertensive indigenous lebanese plants: Ethnopharmacology and a clinical trial
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Hypertension is highly prevalent among the Lebanese adult population and is indeed the major cause of mortality in Lebanon. Traditional use of antihypertensive medicinal plants has long been practiced. The aim of this study ...
Design of Protograph-LDPC-Based BICM-ID for Multi-Level-Cell (MLC) NAND Flash Memory
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this letter, the optimization of protograph-low-density parity-check (LDPC)-based bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative detection and decoding (BICM-ID) with anti-Gray mapping is investigated over multi-level-cell ...
Vitamin E modifies high-fat diet-induced reduction of seizure threshold in rats: Role of oxidative stress
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
There is increasing evidence that oxidative stress is a causal factor in different neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. High-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to induce oxidative stress and ...
Finite element study of functionally graded porous femoral stems incorporating body-centered cubic structure
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The mismatch between stiffness of the femoral dense stem and host bone causes complications to patients, such as aseptic loosening and bone resorption. Three‐dimensional finite‐element models of homogeneous porous (HGP) ...
Robustness analysis of the FFT-based segmentation, feature selection and machine fault identification algorithm
(
British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing
, 2019 , Article)
This paper aims to experimentally investigate the robustness of a recently developed fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based segmentation, feature selection and fault identification algorithm for the development of practical ...
