New forms of design education
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012)
Design has been in a period of change for the last decade but design education and more specifically design educators haven't kept up with these transformations. As a result design students continue to learn outdated methods ...
NATO and Turkey in the post-Cold War world: between abandonment and entrapment
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
For the last two decades two fears have largely shaped Turkey's view of NATO. These are fears of entrapment and abandonment. Both are symptoms of a type of security dilemma that is peculiar to military alliances and ...
The NATO-EU-Turkey trilogy: the impact of the Cyprus conundrum
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
The Cyprus conundrum presents a major challenge to western security structures and relationships in particular with regard to Turkey's European Union (EU) accession process and the stalled Berlin plus arrangements between ...
Preparation and characterization of self-assembled thin film of MPS-capped ZnS quantum dots for optical applications
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
For this study we prepared colloidal ZnS quantum dots using 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) as the capping agent. Colloidal ZnS quantum dots were directly deposited on glass substrates by a spin coating process. ...
Signatures of phase transitions in nuclei at finite excitation energies
(Amer Inst Physics, 2012)
The mean-field approximation predicts pairing and shape phase transitions in nuclei as a function of temperature or excitation energy. However in the finite nucleus the singularities of these phase transitions are smoothed ...
Recent developments in the shell model Monte Carlo approach to nuclei
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2012)
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) approach provides a powerful method for the microscopic calculation of statistical and collective nuclear properties in model spaces that are many orders of magnitude larger than those ...
The stage: a space for queer subjectification in contemporary Turkey
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
This article focuses on the role of the stage in complex modes of gender performativity in the work of three Turkish performers: Zeki Muren (1931-1996) Bulent Ersoy (b. 1952) and Seyfi Dursunoglu (b. 1932) a.k.a. Huysuz ...
A numerical study of the laminar necklace vortex system and its effect on the wake for a circular cylinder
(Amer Inst Physics, 2012)
Large eddy simulation (LES) is used to investigate the structure of the laminar horseshoe vortex (HV) system and the dynamics of the necklace vortices as they fold around the base of a circular cylinder mounted on the flat ...
Energy consumption-GDP nexus: heterogeneous panel causality analysis
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012)
Existing studies examining the Granger causality relationship between energy consumption and GDP use a panel of countries but implicitly assume that the panels are homogeneous. This paper extends the Granger causality ...
Molecular docking study based on pharmacophore modeling for novel PhosphodiesteraseIV ınhibitors
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)
In this study pharmacophore modelling was carried out for novel PhosphodiesteraseIV (PDEIV) inhibitors. A pharmacophore-based virtual screening which resulted in 1959 hit compounds was performed with six chemical databases. ...
