Comparison of post outage bus voltage magnitudes estimated by harmony search and differential evolution methods
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2009)Contingency studies are indispensable tools of both the power system planning and operational studies. Real time implementation of operational problems makes necessary the use of high speed computational methods while requiring reasonable accuracies. On the other hand, accuracy of the results and the speed of calculation depend on branch outage modeling as well as solution algorithm used. This paper presents a comparison of post outage bus voltage magnitudes calculated by two meta-heuristic ...

Quantile Estimates for Social Returns to Education in Turkey: 2006–2009
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Routledge, 2013)Augmenting a Mincerian earnings function with regional data we estimate both private and external returns to education in Turkey using Instrumental Variables, Ordinary Least Squares, Quantile Regression and Instrumental Variables Quantile Regression methods. Our results indicate a median external return between 1.5% and 2.3% for 2006–2009. There is some evidence supporting the skill-biased technical change hypothesis. External returns are uniformly higher for women. We point out some policy implications.

Turkish-Russian relations in search of a way out of the rivalry-competition dilemma(Article) [Rekabet ve ışbirliği ıkileminde yönünü arayan Türk-Rus ılişkileri]
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Ahmet Yesevi University, 2015)Cooperation and strategic partnerships are the main concepts utilized in defining current Turkish-Russian relations. This new discourse indicates a fundamental transformation in bilateral relations and the removal of competition from the discourse that has been dominant in the 1990s. In addition, both actors aimed at Eurasia as the target region to further their common interests and bilateral cooperation. That represents another shift in the course of Turkish Foreign Policy making. This study aims ...

Untitled
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Natural Sciences Publishing USA, 2016)This article deals with the mathematical analysis of the inverse problem of identifying the distinguishability of input-output mappings in the linear time fractional inhomogeneous parabolic equation Dt α u(x, t)=(k(x)ux)x+r(t)F(x, t) 0 < α ≤ 1, with Dirichlet boundary conditions u(0, t) = Ψ0(t), u(1, t) = Ψ1(t). By defining the input-output mappings Φ[·]: K →C1[0,T ] and Ψ[·]: K → C1[0,T] the inverse problem is reduced to the problem of their invertibility. Hence, the main purpose of this study ...

A "flying high, landing soft" platform for supplier diversity
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IGI Global, 2016)Diversity management has emerged as a unique agenda of today's corporations in the global economy. One important area of corporate diversity management is supplier diversity, which is an inclusive growth program designed to help develop under-represented businesses into competitive suppliers of corporations. A major challenge of supplier diversity is that many minority suppliers lack the capability to deliver products which the corporate buyers need. Another major challenge is that few minority ...

Authors:
Publisher and Date:(International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, IIIS, 2016)Censorship is no longer limited to traditional media such as print media and TV. With the invention of Internet, the impact of censorship is felt much more strongly with regard to new media related resources of information and communication. With the escalation of terrorism in the 21stcentury, the governments all around the world have begun to use terrorist incidents as the main justification in their efforts to curb freedoms. Within this context, the primary argument of the governments in regulating ...

Determining the critical point of a sigmoidal curve via its fourier transform
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016)A sigmoidal curve y(t) is a monotone increasing curve such that all derivatives vanish at infinity. Let tn be the point where the nth derivative of y(t) reaches its global extremum. In the previous work on sol-gel transition modelled by the Susceptible-Infected- Recovered (SIR) system, we observed that the sequence {tn } seemed to converge to a point that agrees qualitatively with the location of the gel point [2]. In the present work we outline a proof that for sigmoidal curves satisfying fairly ...

Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Baski, 2019)In this study, an original DInSAR method was used to monitor landslides and deformation in a coal mine area. The open-pit mine operation belonging to the Ciner Group in Silopi, Sirnak was selected fort he case study. Between 21 November 2017 and December 31, 2017, 2-month Sentinel-1 data were analyzed every 12 days and interferometric results were obtained. It has been shown that the DInSAR method can be used effectively in order to monitor the mineral movements by using satellite images. The ...

Analyses of literary texts by using statistical inference methods
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(CEUR-WS, 2019)If a road map had to be drawn for Computational Criticism and subsequent Artificial Literature, it would have certainly considered Shakespearean plays. Demonstration of these structures through text analysis can be seen as both a naive effort and a scientific view of the characteristics of the texts. In this study, the textual analysis of Shakespeare plays was carried out for this purpose. Methodologically, we consecutively use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Singular Value Decomposition ...

Machine learning model for maternal quality in sheep
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Organising Committee of the 9th European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming (ECPLF), Teagasc, Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation Centre, 2019)This paper aims to identify determinant traits of ewes by measuring their impact on lamb survival. For that, we devised a machine learning model that correlates ewe traits to lamb survival, and figured out as to which ewe traits explain the correlation and hence help us to identify the better mother. In this study, we kept pregnant ewes under 24 h observation by two researchers starting approximately three days before expected parturition dates. We conducted the study using native and crossbreed ...

Ecological strategies for designing halys river: A landscape of flux
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Scibulcom Ltd., 2019)Natural and manmade disasters led to the emergence of new approaches in designing our environment in the postindustrial era. Modern technological infrastructures failure to respond to the challenges from environmental hazards led the designers to restructure the landscape. This in turn, led to a shift in landscape architecture, planning and architecture discipline. In the past decade green infrastructure has been a topic for debate among practitioners and theorists across different disciplines, ...

Acute myeloblastic leukemia achieving complete remission with Amifostine alone
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2002)Amifostine, a phosphorylated thiol-amine, is known as a cytoprotective agent especially for cisplatin containing chemotherapies. Apart from the cytoprotective role, Amifostine could also be used in the treatment of hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), as a treatment option or for potentiating the effects of cytotoxic agents. We tried to use Amifostine in a patient with AML, which did not respond to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy ...

A comparison of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in patients with hepatitis C infection
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2002)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains important due to difficulties in treatment up to a chronic state. It is considered that free radicals, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense play a role in various tissue damages, just as in certain types of viral hepatitis. Since only limited data has been reported concerning oxidative stress in viral hepatitis, a comparative study was planned for patients with hepatitis C. In this study, we searched for erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ...
