Wafer Map Defect Pattern Recognition using Imbalanced Datasets
(2022)The accurate and automatic inspection of wafer maps is vital for semiconductor engineers to identify defect causes and to optimize the wafer fabrication process. This research work seeks to address the pattern recognition ... -
Wakfs in kavala, Greece: A legal, political and architectural heritage issue
(2013)The present paper examines wakfs in Greece, and focuses on a case study in the city of Kavala. The case of the wakfs in Kavala is analyzed as an issue of planning legislation, as a matter of architectural heritage, and as ... -
Walking kinematics and kinetics following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
(2013)The goal of this investigation was to investigate how walking patterns are affected following muscle-damaging exercise by quantifying both lower limb kinematics and kinetics. Fifteen young women conducted a maximal isokinetic ... -
WALL-TO-BED HEAT-TRANSFER IN GAS SOLID FLUIDIZED-BEDS - PREDICTION OF HEAT-TRANSFER REGIMES
(1992)When studying heat transfer between a fluidized bed and immersed surfaces, three modes of heat transfer can occur, viz. conduction (particle convection), gas convection and radiation. A classical definition of the dominant ... -
Wall-triggered interfacial resonance in laminar gas-liquid flow
(1998)Laminar gas-liquid flow through a channel with corrugated bottom, driven by a combination of gravity and pressure drop, is considered. A linear analysis, valid for small-amplitude disturbances but arbitrary wavelength and ... -
War and democracy in ancient Greece
(2014)In the present paper we analyse some of the preconditions for the emergence of democracy in Ancient Greece. For democracy to emerge in Ancient Greece a combination of several enabling factors proved decisive: the development ... -
War for profit: English corsairs, institutions and decentralised strategy
(2018)In this study, we propose that in states with relatively weak central authorities, decision-makers had to develop market-oriented organisation solutions to successfully face a grave external threat, and these solutions ... -
Warming and Acidification Effects on Planktonic Heterotrophic Pico- and Nanoflagellates in a Mesocosm Experiment
(2016)We studied the response of the heterotrophic flagellate (HF) community to the combined impact of warming and ocean acidification in a mesocosm experiment with a plankton community from the western Baltic Sea. We performed ... -
WarmStart colorimetric LAMP for the specific and rapid detection of HPV16 and HPV18 DNA
(2019)Background and objectives: Persistent infection with High-Risk HPV genotypes is the principal cause for the development of cervical cancer with HPV16 and HPV18 to be the most frequently identified HPV genotypes observed ... -
WarmStart colorimetric RT-LAMP for the rapid, sensitive and specific detection of Enteroviruses A–D targeting the 5′UTR region
(2021)Aims: The aim of the present study was to develop a colorimetric LAMP assay for the detection of enteroviruses belonging to species A–D targeting the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of enteroviruses genome. Methods and ... -
Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network to Address the Imbalanced Data Problem in Real-Time Crash Risk Prediction
(2022)Real-time crash risk prediction models aim to identify pre-crash conditions as part of active traffic safety management. However, traditional models which were mainly developed through matched case-control sampling have ... -
Waste Management for the Food Industries
(2008)The continuously increasing human population, has resulted in a huge demand for processed and packaged foods. As a result of this demand, large amounts of water, air, electricity and fuel are consumed on a daily basis for ... -
Waste management in Larissa prefecture, Greece
(2004)It is the objective of this study to evaluate the management of air waste, wastewater and solid waste in the prefecture of Larissa, Greece. The levels of air pollution in the prefecture are not so high. Nevertheless, ... -
A ‘waste product’ to save the day in the field of transplantation: The evolving potential of extracellular vesicles
(2022)Graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease constitute the leading causes of morbidity and early mortality after solid organ and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, respectively. Despite the current advances in ... -
