Assessing cloud QoS predictions using OWA in neural network methods

open access: yesNeural Computing and Applications, 2022
AbstractQuality of Service (QoS) is the key parameter to measure the overall performance of service-oriented applications. In a myriad of web services, the QoS data has multiple highly sparse and enormous dimensions. It is a great challenge to reduce computational complexity by reducing data dimensions without losing information to predict QoS for ...

Pharmacological pain relief and postpartum bleeding in women with moderate or severe anemia: A cohort analysis of the WOMAN‐2 trial

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pain relief could minimize blood loss by limiting the adrenaline stress response to fear and trauma during birth. We examined the association between pharmacological pain relief and postpartum bleeding in a large cohort of women giving birth with anemia in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Experimental Study on the Fatigue Behavior of Ti‐6Al‐4 V Bolted Joints Containing Burrs

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One‐way assembly accelerates aerospace manufacturing operations but risks leaving drilling burrs within mechanical joints. The detrimental impact of burrs on fatigue strength is widely recognized in the literature, but the mechanisms driving this “knock‐down” remain unclear. This investigation focused on mechanically fastened Ti‐6Al‐4 V single‐
