Measuring energy intensity in Japan: A new method
(Elsevier, 2017)
Energy intensity and energy conservation have been important pillars of energy policies in Japan. Recently the government has introduced new initiatives to enhance energy efficiency and reduce energy intensity. We analyze ...
Personality Motivation and Math Achievement Among Turkish Students: Evidence from PISA Data
(Sage Publications Inc, 2017)
Using the Turkish portion of the Programme for International Student Assessment dataset (N=4848
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 ...
Evaluation of Secondhand Smoke Using PM2.5 and Observations in a Random Stratified Sample in Hospitality Venues from 12 Cities
(MDPI, 2019)
Background: Turkey passed a law banning smoking in all indoor public places in 2008. In response to the indoor smoking restriction many smokers may have relocated to outdoor areas of venues. The aim of this study was to ...
Corrected Panel-Reactive Antibody Positivity Rates for Hypersensitized Patients in Turkish Population With Calculated Panel-Reactive Antibody Software
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017)
however the rate was 86.2% using the cPRA. Discussion. cPRA shows the rate of the rejected donors according to all unacceptable antigens. The need for a list of unacceptable antigens in place of the PRA positivity rate is ...
Facebook as a Boundary Object in Industrial Design Studio. A SoTL Study
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
We introduced Facebook groups as instructional tools in our industrial design studio courses. One of us experienced the effects of Facebook on freshmen while the other examined it with sophomores and juniors. Our analysis ...
Epidemic models for phase transitions: application to a physical gel
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
Carrageenan gels are characterized by reversible sol-gel and gel-sol transitions under cooling and heating processes and these transitions are approximated by generalized logistic growth curves. We express the transitions ...
High-pass/low-pass section design for 0 degrees-360 degrees lumped-element phase shifters via the real frequency technique
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2017)
In this paper an algorithm based on the real frequency technique (RFT) is proposed to design high-pass and low-pass sections of a 0 degrees-360 degrees wide range lumped-element phase shifter. The switching process however ...
Towards better child protection programmes: a qualitative evaluation of Youth Disseminating Life Skills Programme
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
The present study aimed to assess the acceptability of a 12-week training programme Youth Disseminating Life Skills Programme whose aims were to help university students acquire knowledge on and to increase sensitivity ...
Characterization of MWCNT-TiO2 Qps and TiO2 QDs in self-assembled films
(Elsevier, 2017)
In this study the solution which includes TiO2 quantum dots (QDs) was mixed with the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to prepare MWCNT-TiO2 QDs composite films. The effect of microstructures on the structural and optical ...
