Losses due to eddy currents in an open-type transformer core are significantly reduced by the lamination of the transformer core. In order to further reduce the eddy current losses, the open-type core often has a multi-part structure, i.e., it is com...

Online social networks are part of our daily life. They are widely used among university students. These platforms have positive and negative aspects. Focusing on the positive aspects, positive reinforcement social networks (PRSNs) have been used to...

In this study, chromium (Cr)-doped nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited by employing selective lateral doping of Cr in NiO by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering at different doping times ranging from 0 s (undoped) to 80 s. The structural, o...

We tested whether changes in prestimulus neural activity predict behavioral performance (decision time and errors) during a prolonged visual task. The task was to classify ambiguous stimuli—Necker cubes; manipulating the degree of ambiguity fro...

Our paper aims to present three cases of committed suicide in SARS-CoV-2 infection during the quarantine period. We investigated if there is a role for the infection itself in triggering the suicidal act or if it is augmented by other risk factors su...

Light is a powerful tool for the non-invasive and non-destructive analysis of several organic and inorganic materials [...]

The shear failure of rock is a major cause of rock slope instability and consequent landslides. To determine the forming mechanism of infrasonic waves during the loss of stability of sandstone slopes, experiments were carried out using a shear loadin...

In this paper, an approach through a Deep Learning architecture for the three-dimensional reconstruction of outdoor environments in challenging terrain conditions is presented. The architecture proposed is configured as an Autoencoder. However, inste...

Sensors in the medical field to detect specific tissues, such as radars, must provide accurate signals from frequency generators. In order to supply an accurate frequency signal, the oscillator must have a low phase noise. Therefore, the resonator us...

Combined cycle systems have an important role in power generation. In the present study, three different configurations of combined Brayton and Rankine cycle system are studied from the perspective of energy, exergy, exergoeconomic and environmental...
