Overlapping board connections with banker directors and corporate loan terms: Evidence from syndicated loans
(Elsevier, 2021)
I look at the relationship between corporate loan terms and board members' connections to bankers through employment on other boards, a connection relatively unaffected by confounding factors. Using syndicated loan data, ...
Channel Estimation Using Optical MIMO OFDM Based LED Index Modulation
(IEEE, 2021)
In this paper, a new MIMO channel estimation technique is proposed for generalized LED index modulation (GLIM-OFDM) developed for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based VLC ...
Incentivizing Farmers to Invest in Quality through Quality-Based Payment
(Wiley, 2021)
We consider a for-profit cooperative that sets a quality-based payment to its risk-averse farmers in order to incentivize them to invest in quality improvements. The quality of the farmer's harvest is affected by his ...
EFFECTIVENESS OF FINANCIAL AUDITING IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH SECTOR: EVALUATION OF TURKEY
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2021)
On the one hand, the auditing of the public hospitals regarding their financial information is carried out by the State Audit Court which is the Supreme Auditing Institution in our country, on the other hand it is carried ...
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 ...
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 ...
