Large-scale global optimization based on hybrid swarm intelligence algorithm
(
IOS Press
, 2020 , Article)
There are numerous large-scale global optimization problems encountered in real-world applications including engineering, manufacturing, economics, networking fields. Over the last two decades different varieties of swarm ...
Computation of conformal invariants
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
We study numerical computation of conformal invariants of domains in the complex plane. In particular, we provide an algorithm for computing the conformal capacity of a condenser. The algorithm applies to a wide variety ...
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 ...
Estimation of health-related quality of life in the presence of missing Values in EQ-5D
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2021 , Article)
One of the notes worthy problems in analysis of clinical and observational studies is missing data and nonresponse from patients. Turning a blind eye to the missing behavior may provide biased results with overestimated ...

In this study, fourteen coffee samples were collected from local markets in Doha, Qatar according to different variables i.e. packed or unpacked, beans or powder, roasted or raw bean samples. The coffee samples were subjected ...
Polymers to improve the world and lifestyle: physical, mechanical, and chemical needs
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Book chapter)
The wide-ranging applications of polymers are due to their important advantages that involve their relatively low cost, low density, resistance to corrosion, resistance to most chemicals, and easier manufacturing designs. ...
Effect of acute melatonin administration on physiological response to prolonged exercise
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2020 , Article)
Exogenous melatonin supplementation may enhance endurance performance because of its pre-cooling effect. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of acute melatonin ingestion on rectal temperature (Tre) response to ...
