Civil war and democratization: A micro‐level analysis
(Wiley, 2020-03)
Objective In this study we draw on the conflict between the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Turkey to explore how exposure to violence can engender support for democracy at the individual level.
Methods We rely on ...
Thermal analysis of perlite-reinforced concrete panels at varying moisture contents
(Begell House Inc., 2020)
Research on composite materials to be used in building insulation is presented. Building energy efficiency gained much broader significance following the COP 21 Paris agreement. In light of this outcome, this study focuses ...
Asymptotic performance of generalized transmit laser selection over lognormal turbulence channels
(IEEE, 2020-08)
In free space optical communication systems, transmit laser selection (TLS) has been proposed as an efficient fading-mitigation technique over turbulence channels. In TLS, the transmitter is equipped with a number of laser ...
Spectrally selective filter design for passive radiative cooling
(The Optical Society, 2020-04-01)
Radiative cooling is potentially one of the most innovative approaches to reducing energy density in buildings and industry, as well as achieving higher levels of energy efficiency. Several studies have reported the design ...
FASStR: A framework for ensuring high-quality operational metrics in health care
(Managed Care & Healthcare Communications, LLC, 2020-06)
OBJECTIVES: Poorly defined measurement impairs interinstitutional comparison, interpretation of results, and process improvement in health care operations. We sought to develop a unifying framework that could be used by ...
Outage performance of mixed RF-FSO systems over DGG and nakagami-m channels
(IEEE, 2020-12)
In mixed RF (radio frequency)-FSO (free space optical) systems, the FSO link is used for backhauling while RF is used for wireless access. In many practical deployment scenarios especially in urban environments, more than ...
Experimental validation of a novel RLL code for visible light communication
(IEEE, 2020)
Flicker arising in visible light communication (VLC) system is typically mitigated by run-length-limited (RLL) codes. The IEEE 802.15.7 standard proposes RLL codes according to the modulation type and data rate. In this ...
An experimental and theoretical analysis of vapor-to-liquid phase change on microstructured surfaces
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
In this work, an experimental and a theoretical study was carried out on condensation heat transfer on vertically aligned bare unstructured, micro V-grooved and square-grooved copper substrates. During the experiments, ...
Investigation of the effect of particle stability on the transport properties and thermal behavior of ethylene glycol-water/SiO2 binary nanofluids
(IOP Publishing, 2020-04-09)
Nanofluids (Nfs) are considered as an effective working media in different thermal processes. Over the years, much attention has been paid to the problem of nanoparticle stability in base fluids in an unconfined area of ...
Comparison of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations in the long-wave limit
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-11-17)
We consider a general class of convolution-type nonlocal wave equations modeling bidirectional nonlinear wave propagation. The model involves two small positive parameters measuring the relative strengths of the nonlinear ...
