Social media platforms are a popular choice for extremist organizations to disseminate their perceptions, beliefs, and ideologies. This information is generally based on selective reporting and is subjective in content. However, the radical presentat...
Thanks to recent technological developments in 3D surveys, computer graphics and virtual reality, new scenarios have been opened for the documentation and enhancement of ancient sculptures. When not totally preserved, sculptures can be digitally repr...
The Islamic State (ISIS) has repeatedly targeted Jews in terrorist attacks and incited against Jews in its propaganda. Anti-Semitism and the belief that Jews are engaged in a war against Islam has been central to Islamist thought since its inception....
This paper aims to assess the impact of ISIS’s presence in Iraq on the reputation of listed firms on the Iraq Stock Exchange. This paper’s method is descriptive–correlational, and the selected sample includes 35 listed firms on the...
FTN signalling is an effective communication method that achieves a high spectral efficiency. However, employing a symbol rate faster than the Nyquist rate disrupts the orthogonality between symbols, leading to unavoidable inter-symbol interference (...
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with intolerance of positive airway pressure therapy. Comorbid insomnia is quite prevalent in OSA patients. We investigated the impact of insomnia and exce...
The ISIS is an ultra-fast image sensor with in-pixel storage. The evolution of the ISIS in the past and in the near future is reviewed and forecasted. To cover the storage area with a light shield, the conventional frontside illuminated ISIS has a li...

The first purpose of this study was to verify the association between Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS) and Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation (RSD) after a first episode treated conservatively. The second aim is to identify the risk factors associ...
Traditional in-service inspection (ISI) methods for pipelines have certain limitations in identifying pipeline leakages. When these methods are directly applied to the ISI of Hua-long pressurized reactor (HPR1000) nuclear power plants, where the syst...
Chaotic baseband wireless communication system (CBWCS) suffers bit error rate (BER) degradation due to their intrinsic intersymbol interference (ISI). To this end, an ISI-free chaotic filter based on root-raised-cosine (RRC) division is constructed t...
This qualitative interpretative case study aimed to investigate how the developed isiNdebele scientific language register for Natural Sciences influences learners’ classroom interactions and discourses. Data were collected from stakeholders thr...
Aperiodic pseudo-random impulse (APPI) trains represent deterministic yet reproducible sequences that mimic the irregularity of natural processes. They allow complete control over inter-spike intervals (ISIs) and pulse widths (PWs). Such signals are...
Although the joint source-channel coding (JSCC) system based on double protograph low-density parity-check (DP-LDPC) codes has been shown to possess excellent error performance over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, it cannot perform wel...
