Post-Donation Evaluation of Life of Donors of Liver Transplantation
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Aim: Liver transplantation from living donors affects not only recipients' but also donors' lives. The aim of this study was to explore living donors' experience of life. Methods: The sample consisted of 16 living donors ...
Modeling and Equalization of Indoor Visible Light Channnels
(IEEE, 2016)
In this paper a computationally efficient method is proposed for modeling the indoor visible light communications (VLC) channels using a non-sequential ray tracing technique. We created three dimensional realistic simulation ...
Level Densities of Heavy Nuclei in the Shell Model Monte Carlo Approach
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
Nuclear level densities are necessary input to the Hauser-Feshbach theory of compound nuclear reactions. However the microscopic calculation of level densities in the presence of correlations is a challenging many-body ...
Smart Systems From Design to Implementation of Embedded Smart Systems
(IEEE, 2016)
This paper aims to explain the design and implementation procedure of embedded Smart Systems. The idea is supported by four different Smart Systems as Smart Home Smart Agriculture Smart Campus and Seat and Study Module of ...
Does Firm Age Affect Profitability? Evidence From Turkey
(Int Inst Social & Economics Sciences-IISES, 2016)
The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of firm age on the profitability of Turkish firms listed on Borsa Istanbul. Using a dataset covering the years between 2005 and 2014 and consisting of 302 non-financial ...
Comparison of Compressed Sensing Based Algorithms for Sparse Signal Reconstruction
(IEEE, 2016)
Compressed sensing theory shows that any signal which is defined as sparse in a given domain can be reconstructed using fewer linear projections instead of using all Nyquist-rate samples. In this paper we investigate basis ...
Persistence of Vibrational Collectivity in Nuclear Level Densities
(E D P SCIENCES, 2016)
By applying the particle-number projection to the finite-temperature BCS theory to the state densities in the rare-earth nuclei and comparing its results to the SMMC ones we investigate effects of the particle-number ...
Optical Spatial Modulation OFDM System Design
(IEEE, 2016)
In this paper a new optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) method is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communications (VLC) systems. In the new scheme non-DC biased optical ...
Research Trends in Web Site Usability: A Systematic Review
(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2016)
The present study aims to review systematically all the studies of web site usability conducted in the years from 2005 to 2014 in order to present the research trends in usability issues of web sites. Regarding the inclusion ...
Bringing the Empire Back In: The Gradual Discovery of the Ottoman Empire in Turkish Foreign Policy
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2016)
This article traces the emergence of references to the Ottoman Empire in the discourse and practice of Turkish foreign policy since the late 1940s. It argues that present-day emphasis on the Ottoman Empire and its legacy ...
