Philosophical concerns in fine arts education
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012)
Due to the rapid changes in society it is increasingly important to ask why we teach the way we do which teaching methods we should adopt and which we should reject or abandon. As a result it is crucial that philosophical ...
An intelligent approach to CAM software selection
(IEEE, 2012)
In this paper an intelligent approach is presented to help the companies select most suitable CAM software for their current and future needs. For this purpose fuzzy AHP method is used to carry out CAM selection process ...
Complex event post processing for traffic accidents
(IEEE, 2012)
In this paper we describe a framework for an expert system that tries to predict effects of an accident based on past data using supervised learning employing artificial neural networks. For this purpose sensory data events ...
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 As a result design students continue to learn outdated methods ...
Hybrid MPI plus UPC parallel programming paradigm on an SMP cluster
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2012)
The symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) cluster system which consists of shared memory nodes with several multicore central processing units connected to a high-speed network to form a distributed memory system is the most ...
The Innovation Union Scoreboard: helping Europe become more innovative
(Int Business Information Management Assoc-IBIMA, 2012)
In this contribution we focus on the Europe 2020 growth strategy its targets initiatives and on EU tools on growth one of which is the 'Innovation Union Scoreboard' (IUS) which includes innovation indicators and trend ...
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 ...
