In this study, we used a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to address a variation of the non-deterministic polynomial-time NP-hard traveling tournament problem, which determines the optimal schedule for a double round-robin tournament, for an even number of teams, to minimize the number of trips taken.Our proposed algorithm iteratively ex
Finite element analysis in defining the optimal shape and safety factor of retentive clasp arms of removable partial denture
Bacground/Aim.Retentive force of removable partial denture (RPD) directly depends on elastic force of stretched retentive clasp arms (RCAs).During deflection RCA must have even stress distribution.Safety factor is the concept which can be applied in estimating durability and functionality of RCAs.This study was based on analyzing properties of clas
Digital Convergence and Divergence in EU and ASEAN Economies
This study examines the evolving digital economy in terms of convergence and divergence in European Union (EU) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries over the period from 2010 to 2024, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.This research uses a range of digital economy indices, including the ICT Development Index, E-Go
Antecedent occipital alpha band activity predicts the impact of oculomotor events in perceptual switching
Oculomotor events such as blinks and saccades transiently interrupt the visual input and, even though this mostly goes undetected, these brief interruptions could still influence the percept.In particular, both blinking and saccades facilitate switching in ambiguous figures such as the Necker cube.To investigate the neural state antecedent to these
