Structural equation modeling of public transport use with COVID-19 precautions: An extension of the norm activation model
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study aims to identify the travelers' attitudes and preferences towards the use of public transport during COVID-19 through the Norm-Activation Model (NAM). A questionnaire survey was designed to assess the traveler's ...
Point-Denoise: Unsupervised outlier detection for 3D point clouds enhancement
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
3D point cloud denoising is an increasingly demanding field as such type of data structure is getting more attention in perceiving the 3D environment for diverse applications. Despite their novelty, recently proposed ...

The drastic increase in freshwater and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumption poses severe environmental and economic challenges worldwide. This study; therefore, explores the mechanical and durability properties of ...
Thermal integrity testing of cast in situ piles: An alternative interpretation approach
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Integrity testing of deep cast in situ concrete foundations is challenging due to the intrinsic nature of how these foundations are formed. Several integrity test methods have been developed and are well established, but ...
Deep Learning Framework for Liver Segmentation from T1-Weighted MRI Images
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
The human liver exhibits variable characteristics and anatomical information, which is often ambiguous in radiological images. Machine learning can be of great assistance in automatically segmenting the liver in radiological ...
