(Wiley, 2020)
We analyzed the content of "Friday Khutbas" delivered in Turkish mosques between January 2001 and December 2018 to test the prediction of moral foundations theory (MFT) literature that threat salience would lead to an ...
Children in 2077: Designing children's technologies in the age of transhumanism
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020)
What for and how will we design children's technologies in the transhumanism age, and what stance will we take as designers? This paper aims to answer this question with 13 fictional abstracts from sixteen authors of ...
Network dynamics reconstruction from data
(Scıentıfıc Technıcal Research Councıl Turkey-Tubıtak, 2020)
We consider the problem of recovering the model of a complex network of interacting dynamical units from time series of observations. We focus on typical networks which exhibit heterogeneous degrees, i.e. where the number ...
Aluminum accumulation in treatment using submerged membrane electro-bioreactor of young landfill leachate: Statistical analysis
(Environmental Research & Technology (Online), 2020)
Herein, landfill leachate containing high amount of organic matter, which is quite difficult to treat, was first treated using the new submerged membrane electro-bioreactor (SMEBR) system. Aluminum (Al) electrode was used ...
ON SOFT ERRORS IN THE CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHOD: SENSITIVITY AND ROBUST NUMERICAL DETECTION
(SIAM PUBLICATIONS, 2020)
The conjugate gradient (CG) method is the most widely used iterative scheme for the solution of large sparse systems of linear equations when the matrix is symmetric positive definite. Although more than 60 years old, it ...
Flexible LED Index Modulation for MIMO Optical Wireless Communications
