Turkish Foreign Policy in the Chaos of War, 1939-1945
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021)
The World War II marked an important watershed for Turkey's foreign policy. It caught Turkey in the middle of a nation and state-building processes as well as still recovering from the damages of the previous war. Thus ...
Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters optimization using adaptive grey wolf optimizer with local search
(Springer, 2021)
With the transformation of transmission and distribution grids into smart grids that are more dominated by renewable energy, power electronics-based inverters that can improve power quality are becoming more visible. In ...
Challenges of Teaching in a Different Culture: An Auto-Ethnographic Study
(Cognizant Communication Corp, 2021)
Teaching in a different culture and environment is always a challenging issue. This may last from a few months to a few years, depending on the consequences of personal characteristics and environmental situations. Based ...
Automatic Adaptation of Hypermutation Rates for Multimodal Optimisation
(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2021)
Previous work has shown that in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) the best static mutation rates to escape local optima with the ageing operator are far from the optimal ones to do so via large hypermutations and vice-versa. ...
The Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Energy Resource Planning
(IEEE, 2021)
This study presents a new formulation regarding optimal placement and sizing of multi-type distributed generations (DGs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) to enhance the reliability of a radial distribution system and to ...
Improved Physical Layer Security in Visible Light Communications by Using Focused Light Emitters
(IEEE, 2021)
A conventional visible light communication system consists of a transmitter, a jammer that includes a few light emitting diodes, a legal listener and an eavesdropper. In this work, a similar system is designed with a ...
Assessment of load and generation modelling on the quasi-static analysis of distribution networks
(Elsevier, 2021)
Quasi-static analysis of power systems can be performed by means of timeseries-based and probability density function-based models. In this paper, the effect of different load and generation modelling approaches on the ...
COVID-19 digitization in maritime: understanding cyber risks
(Springer Heidelberg, 2021)
Digitization is reshaping the maritime industry which is under increasing pressure to transform. Technology is more common as it offers improvements and carves out early adapters as more competitive. COVID-19 hastens ...
Financial technology in developing economies: A note on digital lending in Turkey
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2021)
We examine the differences in the loan performance of fintech and bank borrowers in Turkey. Using data of 5.5 million consumer loans by the fifth-largest private commercial bank in Turkey and its fintech subsidiary, we ...
Analysis and Optimization of the Network Throughput in IEEE 802.15.13 based Visible Light Communication Networks
(IEEE, 2021)
In line with the growing interest on visible light communication (VLC), IEEE has initiated standardization efforts on this emerging technology. In this work, we consider IEEE 802.15.13 Optical Wireless Personal Area Networks ...
