Co-simulation is a technique to orchestrate multiple simulators in order to approximate the behavior of a coupled system as a whole. Simulators execute in a lockstep fashion, each exchanging inputs and output data points with the other simulators at pre-accorded time points. In the context of systems with a physical and a cyber part, the communication frequency with which the simulators of each...

Online media, such as websites and applications, have become a communication tool available on the internet. Social media is part of online that can be used to spread news, opinions, or even hoaxes, through Twitter. Although hoaxes are difficult eliminate, several systems been built using deep learning approaches process text images detect truthfulness news. In this study, four were methods, na...

Bi-layer hybrid biocomposites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique by reinforcing oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and jute fibre mats with epoxy matrix. Hybrid composites were prepared by varying the relative weight fraction of the two fibres. The physical (void content, density, dimensional stability), and chemical resistant properties of hybrid composites were evaluated. When the jute fi...

In this paper a bimodal discrete urban road network design problem with bus and car modes is investigated. The problem consists of decision making for lane addition to the existing streets, new street constructions, converting some two-way streets to one-way streets, lane allocation for two-way streets, and the allocation of some street lanes for exclusive bus lanes. Two objectives are consider...

The effects of E2 on the high-density lipoprotein receptor (HDL-R) scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) gene were examined. Four putative estrogen response element half-site motifs (ERE(1/2)) (-2176, -1726, -1622, and -1211, designated ERE(1/2)-1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) were identified in the HDL-R SR-BI promoter. Transfection studies and mutation analysis demonstrated that E2 signific...

Ni Bi3Ni Cu -40/250 Sn-Cu We have studied a novel high-temperature solder for mounting the power semiconductor devices used in the inverters of hybrid and fuelcell vehicles. The melting point of well-known lead-free solders such as Sn-based alloys is around 220 C, which is too low to allow their use with high-temperature compound power semiconductor devices such as those based on GaN and SiC. T...
