  • A novel communication method for constrained IoT devices 

    Authors:Kocatekin, Tuğberk
    Publisher and Date:(2022-06)
    Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming an established part of life by interconnecting billions of devices in diverse areas such as healthcare, smart homes, industries, etc. However, these devices are limited in memory, energy and computational capabilities. Being constrained prevents them from applying complex cryptographic encryption algorithms which leads to lack of security and therefore lack of privacy. As a solution, we propose a novel secret sharing scheme based on underlying protocols of ...

  • High-pass and low-pass mixed element lossless two-port networks as phase shifters 

    Authors:ÇAKMAK, Gökhan
    Publisher and Date:(2022-07)
    Phase shifters are one of the sub-units in many systems. In active-phased array radar (APAR) systems, digital phase shifters (switched line, reflection, loaded-line, and high pass/low-pass which is the smallest in volume [17]) are used. High-pass/low-pass phase shifters was introduced over 50 years ago [28,40,44]. Besides the size advantage, if their power and phase-bandwidth capabilities are compared with other type phase shifters [7,23,39], high-pass/low-pass phase shifters are the best choice ...

  • Access to finance and firm performance in Africa 

    Authors:Ngalim, Lawrence Maishu
    Publisher and Date:(2022-07)
    Firm growth potentially translates positive effects to the economy, and thus likely to spur growth. Importantly, firm growth is heavily conditioned on financing. This thesis takes an interest on firms’ financing and investigates the importance of external finance for firm-growth in Africa––a geography where financial constraints significantly restrain firms from growth compared to other parts of the world. To understand these effects, I focus on two important regions within Africa–– first is a ...

As a result, this dissertation prefers to investigate inter-state relations among states that claim a common or similar identity. It reveals states' historical experiences and questions the extent of cooperation and the motivations for collaboration in a single framework. Understanding Turkic identity and its influence on Turkish Foreign Policy, revealing Turkey's and ...

  • Ontological insecurity on the European Union's periphery: The case of Greece-Turkey bilateral relations 

    Authors:SOFUOGLU, Nasuh
    Publisher and Date:(2022-06)
    Greece-Turkey bilateral relations have been complex and tense for centuries. Accordingly, Greek and Turkish nationalisms have evolved interrelated to and in contrast with one another. Since Greece and Turkey are located on Europe’s periphery, the European Union has been the persistent and pivotal third party in their bilateral relations. This thesis argues that the strained bilateral relations between Greece and Turkey are not the result of material disputes but the repercussion of the ontological ...

  • Models for electricity demand forecasting, classification, and imbalance reduction in competitive markets 

    Authors:Yükseltan, Ergün
    Publisher and Date:(2023-01)
    In liberalized energy markets, hourly forecasts of consumers and producers are crucial for efficiently using energy resources and reducing environmental impacts. In this study, the countries’ consumption in the ENTSO-E common network between 2006 and 2018 was analyzed using the time series method. With the created model, short, medium, and long-term demand forecasts are made using Fourier Series Expansion. In order to improve the error rate of short-term forecasts, a hybrid model was created with ...

  • Augmented virtual crossmatch for donor-induced antibody prediction by using high resolution human leukocyte antigen typing and human leukocyte antigen epitope mapping for better donor match 

    Authors:Karadeniz, Sedat Tanju
    Publisher and Date:(2023-01)
    The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) disparity between donors and recipients is the primary driver of Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA) formation and graft rejection after transplantation. We aimed to predict the DSA by finding the HLA antigen mismatches, searching the eplets of antigens that bind to the recipient's anti-HLA antibodies, calculating the number of shared eplets between the mismatched donor HLA antigens and the recipient's pre-transplantation anti-HLA antibody-bound antigens. We have used ...

  • Analysis of the stochastic skiving stock problem 

    Authors:KARACA, TOLGA KUDRET
    Publisher and Date:(2022-04)
    This study addresses the stochastic version of the one-dimensional skiving stock problem (SSP), a rather recent combinatorial optimization challenge. The tradi tional SSP aims to determine the optimal structure that skives (combines) small items of various sizes side-by-side to form as many large items (products) as possible that satisfy a target width. This study considers a single-product and multi-product cases for the stochastic SSP. First, two-stage stochastic programming model is pre sented ...

  • Milletlerarası özel hukukta çocuğun üstün yararı 

    Authors:TUNA, Ekin
    Publisher and Date:(2022-01)
    Çocuk savunmasız, masum ve duyarlı olması nedeniyle korunmaya muhtaçtır. Özellikle sınır aşan uyuşmazlıklarda çocuğun üstün yararının gözetilmesi ve çocuğun korunması önem arz etmektedir. Yabancı hukuklar bu konuda farklı düzenlemelere sahip olabileceğinden çocuğun yararını gerektiği gibi korumak her zaman mümkün olmayabilir. Bu çalışmada, Türk Milletlerarası Özel Hukuk ve Usul Hukuku Hakkında Kanunu'nda (MÖHUK) çocuğun üstün yararı kavramı, çocuğun üstün yararının nasıl ve ne ölçüde gözetildiği ...
