Although most contest games are modeled in such a way that the outcome depends only on the efforts exerted by the contestants what is arguably more important is the contestants' effective efforts which may be influenced ...

We analyzed the urban logistics problems in Istanbul City and we tried to show the solutions of these problems thanks to intermodal freight terminals. Istanbul is a center of trade tourism and industry

How can we build a sense of perception through observing the 'seen' and the 'unseen' dimensions of the city? How can we perceive the living spaces with time and space in mind and capture the hidden meanings in the unknown ...

We develop hierarchical coordination frameworks to optimally manage active and reactive power dispatch of number of spatially distributed electric vehicles (EVs) incorporating distribution grid level constraints. The ...

A photon scattering technique for research on the sol-gel and gel-sol transitions in kappa-carrageenan-water systems with various carrageenan contents (CC) was utilized for characterizing the fractal dimensions during ...

Religion has been considered an inseparable part of culture. There is a considerable amount of research examining the relationship between religious affiliation and consumer behavior. Although past studies have confirmed ...

This research comprises two studies that extend the literature on the proactive behavior of feedback seeking. Study 1 uses cross-sectional data from frontline employees across 51 apparel stores to examine how feedback ...

In this paper a new computationally efficient and high performance channel estimation algorithm is proposed for the indoor visible light communication (VLC) sparse channels in the presence of a clipping noise. The clipping ...

This research is concerned with practical and research challenges related to understanding the nature of online interactive platforms. So-called network science is adopted to investigate the very nature of these systems ...

In this paper a new optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) method is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communications (VLC) systems. In the new scheme non-DC biased optical ...
