Publicized Intimacies on Reality Television: An Analysis of Voyeuristic Content and Its Contribution to the Appeal of Reality Programming
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009)
Given that reality television is not a cohesive genre a better understanding of the frequently noted voyeuristic appeal of reality programs would require an analysis of content features that may contribute to their voyeuristic ...
Monte Carlo Solutions for Blind Phase Noise Estimation
(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2009)
This paper investigates the use of Monte Carlo sampling methods for phase noise estimation on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. The main contributions of the paper are (i) the development of a Monte Carlo ...
Construction of Lossless Ladder Networks With Simple Lumped Elements Connected Via Commensurate Transmission Lines
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009)
In this work an algorithm to design lossless ladder networks with simple lumped elements connected via commensurate transmission lines is proposed. After giving the algorithm a lumped-element low-pass Chebyshev filter was ...
Guiding metaphors of nationalism: the Cyprus issue and the construction of Turkish national identity in online discussions
(Sage Publications Inc, 2008)
This article is a study of three major metaphors organizing nationalistic discourse about Cyprus in two online forums for Turkish university students. The analysis suggests that discussants symbolically warranted their ...

Modeling the optical properties of WO(3) and WO(3)-SiO(2) thin films
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008)
The optical properties and surface morphology of sol-gel spin coated WO(3) and WO(3)-SiO(2) composite films annealed at 250 and 400 degrees C are investigated. For the purpose of extracting the optical parameters of the ...
Five-year surveillance of nosocomial infections following orthopedic surgery in a private medical center
(Springer, 2008)
Introduction Nosocomial infections (NI) are a major problem in health care facilities resulting in extended length of stay substantial morbidity and mortality and excess cost. In this study we aimed to know the rates ...
Electrochromic properties of heat-treated thin films of CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 prepared by sol-gel route
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008)
CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 thin films were prepared using the sol-gel process and deposited on glass and ITO-coated glass substrates via dipcoating technique. The samples were heat treated between 100 and 500 degrees C. The heat ...
Performance of transmit and receive antenna selection in the presence of channel estimation errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008)
This letter considers the effect of channel estimation errors on the performance of space-time coded (STC) systems with transmit and receive antenna selection over quasi-static flat fading channels. By performing pairwise ...
