Glassy dynamics of two poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives in the bulk and in nanometric confinement as reflected in its inter- and intra-molecular interactions
(AIP Publishing, 2018-08)
The inter- and intra-molecular interactions as they evolve in the course of glassy solidification
are studied by broadband dielectric—and Fourier-transform infrared—spectroscopy for oligomeric
derivatives of poly(ethylene ...
Synergetic Application of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Models to Credit Granting Decision Problems
(2019-11-22)
Although various algorithms have widely been studied for bankruptcy and credit risk prediction, conclusions regarding the best performing method are divergent when using different performance assessment metrics. As a ...
Exploring the synergetic effects of sample types on the performance of ensembles for credit risk and corporate bankruptcy prediction
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Credit risk and corporate bankruptcy prediction has widely been studied as a binary classification problem using both advanced statistical and machine learning models. Ensembles of classifiers have demonstrated their ...
Evaluation of an Age-Friendly City and Its Effect on Life Satisfaction: A Two-Stage Study
(MDPI, 2019-12-12)
Due to the ageing of the world’s population, age-friendly cities are emerging to promote active ageing by optimising opportunities for health, participation and safety, in order to improve the quality of life of older ...
Recognizing white blood cells with local image descriptors
(Elsevier, 2019-01)
Automatic and reliable classification of images of white blood cells is desirable for inexpensive, quick and accurate health diagnosis worldwide. In contrast to previous approaches which tend to rely on image segmentation ...
Loss compensation in time-dependent elastic metamaterials
(American Physical Society, 2018)
Materials with properties that are modulated in time are known to display wave phenomena showing energy
increasing with time, with the rate mediated by the modulation. Until now there has been no accounting for ...
Engineered Diffraction Gratings for Acoustic Cloaking
(American Physical Society, 2019)
We show that engineered diffraction gratings can considerably simplify the design of acoustic ground
cloaking devices. Acoustic reflecting gratings are designed in such a way that all the incident energy is
channeled ...
High sampling rate single-pixel digital holography system employing a DMD and phase-encoded patterns
(Optical Society of America, 2018)
A single-pixel digital holography system with phase-encoded illumination using a
digital micromirror device (DMD) as a spatial light modulator (SLM) is presented. The
enhanced switching rate of DMDs, far exceeding the ...
Assessing the Gap between Technology and the Environmental Sustainability of European Cities
(Springer, 2019-02)
The growth of cities’ population increased the interest in the opportunities and challenges that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have on carbon footprint reduction, which fosters their environmental ...
A high-resolution, integrated system for rice yield forecasting at district level
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-01)
To meet the growing demands from public and private stakeholders for early yield estimates, a high-resolution (2 km × 2 km) rice yield forecasting system based on the integration of the WARM model and remote sensing (RS) ...
