Impact of functional nanofluid coolant on radiator performance
(ASME, 2019-08)
While a number of liquids are preferred in many heating and cooling applications, their thermal capacity can be a limiting factor in many thermal systems. Therefore, a series of methods such as use of mixtures of two or ...
The ultimate co-creation: leveraging customer input in business model innovation
(Springer, 2019-12)
In order to stay competitive, organizations need to regularly revamp and innovate their business model (BM). A key catalyst for innovation—acknowledged by managers as well as academics—is input from customers. However, the ...

Poem to celebrate the seamless synergy of stone and timber: Ormana - a village located in the Taurus within southern Anatolia
(Center for Cities, University of Moratuwa, 2019-06)
This article focuses on the design principles of the houses of Ormana; a village located in the Taurus within southern Anatolia, Turkey—including their dual architectural identity and construction details. Ormana, with its ...
Multifractal behavior in precious metals: wavelet coherency and forecasting by varima and v-farima models
(World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Lt, 2019-06)
We introduce a new approach to improve the forecasting performance by investigating the multifractal features and the dynamic correlations of return on spot prices of precious metals, namely, gold and platinum. The Holder ...
Global trends in liquidity creation: The role of the off-balance sheet
(Peter Lang AG, 2019-03-28)
Banks create liquidity by transforming liquid liabilities into illiquid assets and this is one of their main functions. Yet excessive liquidity creation, especially via off-balance sheet activities, might have contributed ...
Speaking but not gesturing predicts motion event memory within and across languages
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2019)
In everyday life, people see, describe and remember motion events. We tested whether the type of motion event information (path or manner) encoded in speech and gesture predicts which information is remembered and if this ...
Tension field inclination angle in steel plate shear walls with beam- connected web plates
(National Technical University of Athens, 2019)
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are an efficient lateral force-resisting system with thin infill plates, main elements resisting the lateral force, connected to beams and columns on all four edges. Upon lateral loading, ...
Numerical assessment of the factors controlling the acoustic response of wind turbine blades
(Canadian Acoustical Association, 2019)
The blades of wind turbine are the most critical parts of the wind turbine system, which contribute to noise generated by wind turbine due to excitation from air streams across them. In this numerical study, the effect of ...
Assessment of using electric pumps on hybrid rockets
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2019)
In small hybrid rockets, liquid oxidizer is fed into the combustion chamber by pressurizing the oxidizer tank to achieve the desired injector pressure. However, larger applications employ propellant pumps to keep the ...
