Effects of BIM in Enhancing Prefabricated Construction
(2021-12)
The use of prefabricated construction is not new in the industry. However, recent advances in digital technology, predominantly Building Information Modelling (BIM), has created renewed momentum for extensive use of this ...
Investigations of the Co-Pt alloy phase diagram with neutron diffuse scattering, inverse cluster variation method, and Monte Carlo simulations
(American Physical Society, 2020)
The short-range order in a CoPt alloy was determined at 1203 and 1423 K using neutron diffuse scattering measurements. The effective pair interactions provided by data analysis reproduce well the experimental order-disorder ...
Joshi’s Split Tree for Option Pricing
(MDPI, 2020)
In a thorough study of binomial trees, Joshi introduced the split tree as a two-phase binomial tree designed to minimize oscillations, and demonstrated empirically its outstanding performance when applied to pricing American ...
Fractional Integrodifferentiation and Toeplitz Operators with Vertical Symbols
(Birkhäuser, 2020)
We consider the so-called vertical Toeplitz operators on the weighted Bergman space over the half plane. The terminology “vertical” is motivated by the fact that if a is a symbol of such Toeplitz operator, then a(z) depends ...
Metronidazole conjugated magnetic nanoparticles loaded with amphotericin B exhibited potent effects against pathogenic Acanthamoeba castellanii belonging to the T4 genotype
(Springer, 2020)
Acanthamoeba castellanii can cause granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and Acanthamoeba keratitis. Currently, no single drug has been developed to effectively treat infections caused by Acanthamoeba. Recent studies have ...
The effect of maps permutation on the global attractor of a periodic Beverton-Holt model
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)
Consider a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn(xn) with a global attractor. How does a permutation [fσ(p−1), . . . , fσ(1), fσ(0)] of the maps affect the global attractor? In this paper, we limit this general question ...
Gold-Conjugated Curcumin as a Novel Therapeutic Agent against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(ACS Publications, 2020)
Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are free-living amoebae that cause infection of the central nervous system, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) and primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), respectively. ...
A Robotic System for Automatic Identification and Collection of Recyclable Plastic Bottles
(2020-05)
Plastics have become a cornerstone of modern life, but they are also hazardous for the environment. Manually collecting and sorting such recyclable plastic waste from a mix of other refuse is tedious work, and has accompanying ...
On some bounds for frequencies of membranes and plates.
(2020-05)
The problem of optimizing a domain dependent functional, while keeping a domain’s measure (its volume, perimeter, etc.) fixed, is called an isoperimetric problem. The isoperimetric inequalities have a long history in ...
