Comparative study of the magnetic behaviour of Carbon-based materials
(2019-09-12)The discovery of anomalous magnetic and transport properties in Highly-Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) showed that significant research work is still needed to fully understand the basic properties of carbon materials. ... -
A Comparative Study of the Mass Distribution of Extreme-Ultraviolet selected White Dwarfs
(1999)We present new determinations of e ective temperature, surface gravity, and masses for a sample of 46 hot DA white dwarfs selected from the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUV E) and ROSAT Wide Field Camera bright source ... -
A comparative study of three neural networks that use soft competition
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)This report provides a comparative study of three proposed self-organising neural network models that use forms of soft competition. The use of soft competition helps the neural networks to avoid poor local minima and so ... -
Comparative Study on Chemical Kinetics Mechanisms for Methane-Based Fuel Mixtures under Engine-Relevant Conditions
(2021-05-14)The use of natural gas in pure or in a blended form with hydrogen and syngas in spark ignition (SI) engines has received much attention in recent years. They have higher diffusion coefficient and laminar flame speed, a ... -
Comparative Study on High Strain Rate Fracture Modelling Using the Application of Explosively Driven Cylinder Rings
(2021-07-29)The effect of different constitutive modelling choices is crucial under a high strain rate as encountered in ballistic applications. Natural fragmentation of explosively driven cylinder rings is chosen as a simplified ... -
A Comparative Study on Machine Learning Algorithms for Assessing Energy Efficiency of Buildings
(Springer Nature, 2021-09-17)An increase in energy demand in buildings continues to give rise to air pollution with a consequent impact on human health. To curb this trend, energy efficiency assessment plays a crucial role in helping to understand the ... -
A Comparative Study on Machine Learning Algorithms for Predicting Construction Projects Delay
(Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, 2021-07-08)The perpetual occurrence of a global phenomenon – delay in construction industry despite considerable mitigation efforts remains a huge concern to its policy makers. Interestingly, this industry which produces massive ... -
Comparing Acute, High Dietary Protein and Carbohydrate Intake on Transcriptional Biomarkers, Fuel Utilisation and Exercise Performance in Trained Male Runners
(2021-12-08)Manipulating dietary macronutrient intake may modulate adaptive responses to exercise, and improve endurance performance. However, there is controversy as to the impact of short-term dietary modification on athletic ... -
Comparing Chinese and Arab Cultural Constructs: Guanxi and Wasta
(2017-09-05)We start from the premise that cultural considerations are important both to understand inter-firm relationships and networks (from the scientific perspective), and to manage relationships and networks (from the managerial ... -
Comparing computational and human measures of visual similarity
(World Scientific Publishing, 2005)There have been many attempts to quantify visual similarity within different categories of objects, with a view to using such measures to predict impaired recognition performance. Although many studies have linked measures ... -
Comparing different pneumoperitoneum (12 Vs 15 mm Hg) pressures with cytokine analysis to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients undergoing Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy and Intra-Corporeal Robotic Urinary Diversion
(2023-04-11)Background Robotic cystectomy is the mainstay surgical intervention for treatment-refractory non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, paralytic ileus complicates the post-operative recovery, and may ... -
Comparing different pneumoperitoneum (12 vs. 15 mmHg) pressures with cytokine analysis to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients undergoing robotic‐assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy and intracorporeal robotic urinary diversion
(2023-09-25)BACKGROUND: Robotic cystectomy is the mainstay surgical intervention for treatment-refractory nonmuscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, paralytic ileus may complicate the postoperative recovery and ... -
Comparing Different Prenexing Strategies for Quantified Boolean Formulas
(Springer Nature, 2004)The majority of the currently available solvers for quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs) process input formulas only in prenex conjunctive normal form. However, the natural representation of practicably relevant problems in ... -
Comparing Different Text Similarity Methods
(University of Hertfordshire, 2007)This paper reports experiments on a corpus of news articles from the Financial Times, comparing different text similarity models. First the Ferret system using a method based solely on lexical similarities is used, then ... -
Comparing emission- and absorption-based gas-phase metallicities in GRB host galaxies at z = 2−4 using JWST
(2024-04-15)Much of what is known of the chemical composition of the universe is based on emission line spectra from star-forming galaxies. Emission-based inferences are, nevertheless, model-dependent and they are dominated by light ... -
Comparing flashbulb memories of September 11 and the death of Princess Diana : effects of time delays and nationality
(2003)This study examines flashbulb memories of a salient recent and a distant public event to assess patterns of forgetting in the formal characteristics of these memories. Memories of a recent event (September 11) were compared ... -
Comparing GC and Field LMXBs in elliptical galaxies with Deep Chandra and Hubble Data
(2009-09-01)We present a statistical study of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations of three nearby, old elliptical galaxies: NGC 3379, NGC 4278, and NGC 4697. With a cumulative ~1 Ms Chandra ACIS observing time, we detect ... -
