Evaluation of document classification is straightforward if complete information on the documents’ true categories exists. In this case, the rank of each document can be accurately determined and evaluated. However, in an unsupervised setting,...
Background/Objectives: Aging affects the face and eyebrow areas, with various resultant procedures for lifting the eyebrows. Recently, thread lifting using absorbable threads has become increasingly popular, with the advantages of a faster recovery a...
The aerodynamic performance of an aircraft can be enhanced by incorporating wingtip devices, or winglets, which primarily reduce lift-induced drag created by wingtip vortices. This study outlines an optimization procedure for implementing winglets on...
The volumes of soil required for the construction of an earth dam are usually of importance, so that, consequently, a key aspect to mitigate the negative impacts of dam construction, both from an economic and environmental point of view, is the use o...
Background/Objectives: Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (Y-T2D) incidence and severity rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during periods of widespread public health restrictions—including, but not limited to, virtual learning, stay-at-h...
Rock deformation is considered one of the essential rock properties used in designing and constructing rock-based structures, such as tunnels and slopes. This study applied two well-established ensemble techniques, including boosting and bagging, to...
This study introduces a fully uncertainty-aware forecasting framework for NBA games that integrates team-level performance metrics, rolling-form indicators, and spatial shot-chart embeddings. The predictive backbone is a recurrent neural network equi...

Empirical correlations are still fundamental in the modern design paradigm of axial turbines. Among these, the prominent Ainley and Mathieson correlation (Ainley D. and Mathieson G., 1951, “A Method of Performance Estimation for Axial-Flow Turb...
Topological spaces can be induced by various algebraic ordering relations such as, linear, partial and the inclusion-ordering of open sets forming chains and chain complexes. In general, the classifications of covering spaces are made by using fundam...
This study presents the PM10 concentration, respiratory and cardiovascular disease hospital admissions evolution in the Ciuc basin for a period of 9 years (2008–2016), taking into consideration different meteorological conditions: boundary layer, lif...
The paper starts by describing the manufacturing process of cups thermoformed from extruded foils of 80% recycled PET (80r-PET), which comprises heating, hot deep drawing and cooling. The 80r-PET foils were heated up to 120 °C, at heating rates o...
The turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over the hull surface of a water vehicle significantly elevates the drag force on the water vehicle. In this regard, effectively controlling the TBL can lead to a drag reduction (DR) effect and therefore improve the...
