The strategic use of narratives and governance of the COVID-19 pandemic in major autocratisers in Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)
By the end of 2022, scholars had published heavily on authoritarian consolidation at the time of COVID-19 and explored how governments adopted measures weakening democratic checks and balances yet strengthened their regimes ...
Lump solutions of the fractional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation
(Springer, 2024-01)
Of concern is the fractional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (fKP) equation and its lump solution. As in the classical Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, the fKP equation comes in two versions: fKP-I (strong surface tension case) and ...
Reducing shape errors in the discrete dipole approximation using effective media
(Optica Publishing Group, 2023-12-18)
The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) simulates optical properties of particles with any given shape based on the volume discretization. These calculations cost a large amount of time and memory to achieve high accuracy, ...
Towards interactive explanation-based nutrition virtual coaching systems
(Springer, 2024-01)
The awareness about healthy lifestyles is increasing, opening to personalized intelligent health coaching applications. A demand for more than mere suggestions and mechanistic interactions has driven attention to nutrition ...
An efficient versatile video coding motion estimation hardware
(Springer, 2024-04)
Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the latest video coding standard. It provides higher compression efficiency than the previous video coding standards at the cost of significant increase in computational complexity. Motion ...
How to be a good guest: American ethnographers in Turkey in the long 1968
(Wiley, 2024-03)
The article uncovers a forgotten chapter in the history of anthropology by revealing the experiences of American ethnographers in Turkey between 1967 and 1969. Using original archival documents and oral history interviews, ...
Deep learning-based expressive speech synthesis: a systematic review of approaches, challenges, and resources
(Springer, 2024-02-12)
Speech synthesis has made significant strides thanks to the transition from machine learning to deep learning models. Contemporary text-to-speech (TTS) models possess the capability to generate speech of exceptionally high ...
Performance of the local reconstruction algorithms for the CMS hadron calorimeter with Run 2 data
(IOP Publishing, 2023-11)
A description is presented of the algorithms used to reconstruct energy deposited in the CMS hadron calorimeter during Run 2 (2015-2018) of the LHC. During Run 2, the characteristic bunch-crossing spacing for proton-proton ...
Price of regulations: Regulatory costs and the cross-section of stock returns
(Oxford University Press, 2024-01)
Regulations introduce significant fixed costs and add to operating leverage. Fixed regulatory costs that contribute to operating leverage should generate a risk premium. To explore whether such a premium exists, we introduce ...
A predictive multistage postdisaster damage assessment framework for drone routing
(Wiley, 2024-01)
This study focuses on postdisaster damage assessment operations supported by a set of drones. We propose a multistage framework, consisting of two phases applied iteratively to rapidly gather damage information within an ...
