Europeanization under membership uncertainty: The cases of environmental and energy policy in Turkey
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2013)This article examines modalities of rule adoption from the EU’s acquis communautaire under conditions of membership uncertainty. Drawing upon the case of Turkey, we probe into the viability of a policy-type approach (drawing upon Theodor Lowi). Our main contention is that the substantive design of policies (distributive or redistributive qualities) has consequential implications for the form (conflict-free vs. veto player constellations) and outcome (transposition likelihood) of the subsequent ...

Flow Structure in a Mixing Layer Developing Over Flat Bed at High Reynolds Numbers
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IAHR-INT ASSOC HYDRO-ENVIRONMENT ENGINEERING RESEARCH, 2015)Results of a high resolution Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) are used to characterize the evolution of a shallow mixing layer developing between two parallel streams in a long open channel with a flat bed at a high Reynolds number (ReD= 160000). The influence of Reynolds number on the development of the mixing layer as well as the vertical nonuniformity in the mixing layer structure is discussed. The numerical results show that as Reynolds number increases the mixing layer development ceases earlier. ...
