Abortion services at hospitals in Istanbul
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)Objective: Despite the existence of a liberal law on abortion in Turkey there is growing evidence that actually securing an abortion in Istanbul may prove difficult. This study aimed to determine whether or not state ... -
Application of epidemic models to phase transitions
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) models describe the spread of epidemics in a society. In the typical case, the ratio of the susceptible individuals fall from a ... -
A combined fuzzy AHP-simulation approach to CAD software selection
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)In this paper a combined approach where the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and simulation come together is presented to select the best computer-aided design (CAD) software out of the available options in the market. ... -
Concept selection with hesitant fuzzy ANP-PROMETHEE II
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021)An integrated approach is given for the assessment and ranking of concepts as part of the new product development (NPD) process. Selection of the best concept in NPD involves multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) since ... -
Critical Exponents of Gelation and Conductivity in Polyacrylamide Gels Doped by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)Polyacrylamide (PAM) doped by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) gels were prepared with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt%. The PAM-MWNT composite gels were characterized by the steady ... -
The design of potent HIV-1 integrase inhibitors by a combined approach of structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)Bu araştırmanın amacı, AIDS olarak bilinen insan bağışıklık sistemine etki eden, duraksamayan ve depresif bir hastalığa neden olan HIV-1'in tedavisi için potansiyel inhibitörleri elde etmektir. HIV-1 integraz inhibitörleri, ... -
Elastic percolation of swollen polyacrylamide (PAAm)-multiwall carbon nanotubes composite
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)Polyacrylamide (PAAm)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites were prepared via free radical cross-linking copolymerization with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 50 wt%. The mechanical ... -
Electrical and optical percolations in PMMA/GNP composite films
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)Effects of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) addition on the electrical conductivity and optical absorbance of poly(methyl methacrylate)/graphene nanoplatelet (PMMA/GNP) composite films were studied. Optical absorbance and two ... -
Electrical optical and fluorescence percolations in P(VAc-co-BuA)/MWCNT composite films
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013)Effects of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) addition on the electrical conductivities optical transparencies and fluorescence emissions of poly(vinyl acetate-co-butyl acrylate) (P(VAc-co-BuA))/MWCNT composite films were ... -
Epidemic models for phase transitions: application to a physical gel
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)Carrageenan gels are characterized by reversible sol-gel and gel-sol transitions under cooling and heating processes and these transitions are approximated by generalized logistic growth curves. We express the transitions ... -
Genetic variations of the apolipoprotein B gene in Turkish patients with coronary artery disease
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005)Background: The results of studies that clarify the association of genetic markers at the apolipoprotein B (apo B) gene (EcoRI and XbaI polymorphisms) with coronary artery disease (CAD) are not consistent and suggest that ... -
In-between military and civilian: ongoing conflict, disability, and masculinity
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022)This article deals with the construction of militarised masculinity of disabled veterans in the interplay of official identity and embodied everyday experience in the context of an ongoing internal armed conflict. It ... -
An integrated approach to evaluating assembly-line design alternatives with equipment selection
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011)The design and implementation of assembly-line systems have been critical issues for companies since the first assembly-line was started at the Ford Highland Plant in 1913. From that time onwards most companies have met ... -
An interactive memetic algorithm for production and manufacturing problems modelled as a multi-objective travelling salesman problem
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)In this paper a preference-based interactive memetic random-key genetic algorithm (PIMRKGA) is developed and used to find (weakly) Pareto optimal solutions to manufacturing and production problems that can be modelled as ... -
Measurement of oxygen diffusion in PS/PNIPAM films using fluorescence quenching
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015)The diffusion of oxygen into pyrene labelled polystyrene (PS) latex/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) composite films (PS/PNIPAM) was studied based on PS content with the use of fluorescence quenching method. Fluorescence ... -
