(IGI Global, 2013)
Despite growing global concerns regarding the reliability of the American economy in general and the Dollar as a Negotiated Currency in particular US-shaped regime of international finance will survive the present difficulties. ...
Self-efficacy and hemodialysis treatment: A qualitative and quantitative approach
(Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health, 2013)
The theoretically driven approach to the measurement of self-efficacy fails to capture the challenges that hemodialysis patients experience in following their dietary and fluid restrictions. Aims: A combination of qualitative ...
Exploring distinct binding site regions of beta(2)-adrenergic receptor via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2013)
beta(2)-Adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that is highly flexible and able to recognize a wide range of ligands through its conformational variations. Active and inactive conformations revealed ...
Design of practical broadband matching networks with commensurate transmission lines
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2013)
To design broadband matching networks for microwave communication systems commercially available computer aided design (CAD) tools are always preferred. But these tools need proper matching network topology and element ...
An econometric analysis of imported timber demand in Turkey
(WFL PUBL, 2013)
This paper attempts to understand and explain determinants of Turkish demand for foreign timber imported to Turkey. Explanatory variables in the propounded model include price of imported timber price of domestically-produced ...
An Efficient SAGE-based Data Detection Algorithm for OFDM Systems in the Presence of Very Fast Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2013)
In this paper an iterative and computationally efficient data detection algorithm is proposed based on the space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) technique for orthogonal division multiplexing (OFDM) ...
Shifted-modified Chebyshev filters
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2013)
This paper introduces a new type of filter approximation method that utilizes shifted-modified Chebyshev filters. Construction of the new filters involves the use of shifted-modified Chebyshev polynomials that are formed ...
Bivariate Pseudo-Gompertz distribution and concomitants of its order statistics
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013)
This paper presents a new bivariate Pseudo-Gompertz distribution that sprouts from the classical Gompertz distribution and possesses the features of pseudo-distribution functions. In addition to some standard properties ...
CAMPways: constrained alignment framework for the comparative analysis of a pair of metabolic pathways
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Motivation: Given a pair of metabolic pathways an alignment of the pathways corresponds to a mapping between similar substructures of the pair. Successful alignments may provide useful applications in phylogenetic tree ...
