The Mineral Liberation Analyzer (MLA) can be used to obtain mineral maps from backscattered electron (BSE) images of particles. This paper proposes an alternative methodology that includes random forest classification, a prospective machine learning algorithm, to develop mineral maps from BSE images. The results show that the overall accuracy and kappa statistic of the proposed method are 97% and 0.94, respectively, proving that random forest classification is accurate. The accuracy indicators ...

Before infants produce words, they can discriminate changes in motion event components such as manner (how an action is performed) and path (trajectory of an action). Individual differences in nonlinguistic event categorization are related to children's later verb comprehension (Konishi, Stahl, Golinkoff, & Hirsh-Pasek, 2016). We asked: (a) Do infants learning Turkish, a verb-framed language, attend to both manner and path changes in motion events? (b) Is early detection of path and manner related ...

The purpose of this thesis is to claim that even though there are centuries between the plays, they share and display the basic fight of the human nature which happens between the reason and the insanity. The duality of the mind actually gives life to existence of tragedy. However, concept of "madness" which is caused by this duality mostly results in violence that cannot be controlled in spite of the reason. This idea suggests that the ups and downs of the characters in the plays that have a ...

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, ...

Using a sample of 2977 private and listed banks in the EU-5 countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, France) for the years 2009–2018, this paper explores the impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) on credit growth. Using panel data fixed effects methodology and controlling for endogeneity using two-step difference GMM estimators, our findings indicate that uncertainty in economic policies hampers the credit growth of European banks. Our bank type-based analyses indicate that the ...

This paper proposes a new approach for edge detection using steerable filters and cellular neural networks (CNNs) where the former yields the local direction of dominant orientation and the latter provides iterative filtering. For this purpose steerable filter coefficients are used in CNN as a B template. The results are compared to the results where only CNN or steerable filters are used. As a result of this study the performance of the system can be improved since iterative filtering property ...

Eşler, evlilik birliği kurarken veya kurmadan önce kanunda seçimlik olarak öngörülen mal rejimlerinden birini kabul edecekleri gibi mal rejimi seçmedikleri takdirde de yasal mal rejimi olan edinilmiş mallara katılma rejimini kabul etmiş sayılacaktır. Edinilmiş mallara katılma rejimi tasfiyesinin mutlaka açılacak bir dava ile yapılması zorunlu olmayıp eşlerin veya eşlerden birinin ya da her ikisinin ölmüş olması durumunda mirasçılarının kendi aralarında yapacakları bir anlaşma (sözleşme/ protokol) ...
