Phase transitions between different spin-glass phases and between different chaoses in quenched random chiral systems
(Amer Physical Soc., 2017)
The left-right chiral and ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic double-spin-glass clock model with the crucially even number of states q = 4 and in three dimensions d = 3 has been studied by renormalization-group theory. We find ...
Energy in Turkey and Russia's Roller-Coaster Relationship
(Seta Foundation, 2017)
Energy relations between Turkey and Russia provide an excellent example of how energy and politics interrelate in countries with a historically up-and-down relationship. Having started in the 1960s the two countries' energy ...
RedNemo: topology-based PPI network reconstruction via repeated diffusion with neighborhood modifications
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
Motivation: Analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks provides invaluable insight into several systems biology problems. High-throughput experimental techniques together with computational methods provide ...
Factors that influence attitude and enforcement of the smoke-free law in Turkey: a survey of hospitality venue owners and employees
(Bmj Publishing Group, 2017)
Introduction In 2009 Turkey extended the smoke-free legislation to hospitality venues. Compliance however remains low in some hospitality venues. We identified characteristics associated with knowledge of health effects ...
Devil's staircase continuum in the chiral clock spin glass with competing ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic and left-right chiral interactions
(Amer Physical Soc., 2017)
The chiral clock spin-glass model with q = 5 states with both competing ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic and left-right chiral frustrations is studied in d = 3 spatial dimensions by renormalization-group theory. The global ...
A crude marriage: Iraq Turkey and the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
Since the discovery of oil at Kirkuk in northern Iraq oil has shaped relations between Iraq and Turkey as the former needed markets and export routes to the Mediterranean and the latter reliable sources of supply. This ...
Border Crossings between Georgia and Turkey: The Sarp Land Border Gate
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
The Sarp land border gate between Turkey and Georgia has become Turkey's gateway to the East in recent years. With a large number of individuals crossing every day it is also a labour gate where irregular Georgian immigrants ...
Turkey's Outward Foreign Direct Investment: Trends and Patterns of Mergers and Acquisitions
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
The aim of this study is to examine the recent evolution of Turkish outward foreign direct investment together with Turkish firms' cross-border acquisitions across time countries and industries. The article suggests that ...
Correlation of Experimental Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium Data for Ternary Systems Using NRTL and GMDH-Type Neural Network
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017)
In this work liquid liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary systems (water + propionic acid + solvent) were experimentally obtained at atmospheric pressure and 298.2 K. The ternary systems show type-1 behavior of ...
Beliefs of Living Donors About Recipients' End-Stage Liver Failure and Surgery for Organ Donation
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017)
Background. The concept of beliefs could provide a basis for how donors may perceive recipients' end-stage liver failure (ESLF) and surgery for organ donation. However there is no such quantitative study. Therefore the ...
