EVALUATING LOGISTICS VILLAGES IN TURKEY USING HYBRID IMPROVED FUZZY SWARA (IMF SWARA) AND FUZZY MABAC TECHNIQUES
(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2021)
Positioning in the right location for organizing logistics activities is a determinative factor in the aspect of costs, effectivity, productivity, and performance of these operations carried out by logistics firms. The ...
Revisiting destination competitiveness through chaos theory: The butterfly competitiveness model
(Elsevier, 2021)
The second decade of this century has been characterized by a particular emphasis on the significance of safety and security in human life in general and in tourist decision-making in particular. This study is therefore a ...
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 ...
Automatic Adaptation of Hypermutation Rates for Multimodal Optimisation
(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2021)
Previous work has shown that in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) the best static mutation rates to escape local optima with the ageing operator are far from the optimal ones to do so via large hypermutations and vice-versa. ...
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 ...
COVID-19 digitization in maritime: understanding cyber risks
(Springer Heidelberg, 2021)
Digitization is reshaping the maritime industry which is under increasing pressure to transform. Technology is more common as it offers improvements and carves out early adapters as more competitive. COVID-19 hastens ...
