NATO and Turkey in the post-Cold War world: between abandonment and entrapment
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
For the last two decades two fears have largely shaped Turkey's view of NATO. These are fears of entrapment and abandonment. Both are symptoms of a type of security dilemma that is peculiar to military alliances and ...
The NATO-EU-Turkey trilogy: the impact of the Cyprus conundrum
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
The Cyprus conundrum presents a major challenge to western security structures and relationships in particular with regard to Turkey's European Union (EU) accession process and the stalled Berlin plus arrangements between ...
Preparation and characterization of self-assembled thin film of MPS-capped ZnS quantum dots for optical applications
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
For this study we prepared colloidal ZnS quantum dots using 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) as the capping agent. Colloidal ZnS quantum dots were directly deposited on glass substrates by a spin coating process. ...
Signatures of phase transitions in nuclei at finite excitation energies
(Amer Inst Physics, 2012)
The mean-field approximation predicts pairing and shape phase transitions in nuclei as a function of temperature or excitation energy. However in the finite nucleus the singularities of these phase transitions are smoothed ...
Recent developments in the shell model Monte Carlo approach to nuclei
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2012)
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) approach provides a powerful method for the microscopic calculation of statistical and collective nuclear properties in model spaces that are many orders of magnitude larger than those ...
Between anchors and aspirations: a new family of bargaining solutions
(Springer, 2019)
We study the salience and power of reference points in determining the effective anchors and aspirations in bargaining problems. Along this line we enrich the analysis of the standard bargaining model with two new parameters: ...
Electronic government services in Europe: Strategies projects and applications
(Academic Journals, 2011)
In Europe national electronic government incentives have made a significant contribution to the modernization of administration and its processes as well as its customer oriented services. In this study European strategies ...
New Trellis Code Design for Spatial Modulation
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2011)
Spatial modulation (SM) in which multiple antennas are used to convey information besides the conventional M-ary signal constellations is a new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique which has recently ...
The behaviour of the Istanbul Stock Exchange Market: An intraday volatility/return analysis approach
(Academic Journals, 2011)
This study investigates intraday effects in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) during the latest period of financial turmoil which began in August 2007 and extended to February 2010. We tested for the possible existence of ...
Study of Thermal Phase Transitions in Iota Carrageenan Gels via Fluorescence Technique
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
The effect of carrageenan concentration on thermal phase transitions of the iota carrageenan gels was investigated by using fluorescence technique. During heating and cooling processes scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence ...
