The Turkish Military's Autonomy JDP Rule and the EU Reform Process in the 2000s: An Assessment of the Turkish Version of Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DECAF)
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
This article tackles the question of Europeanization in Turkey's civil-military relations and the extent to which the EU has served as an anchor in the civilian control over the Turkish Armed Forces. We argue that the EU ...
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 ...

Fully Decentralized and Collaborative Multilateration Primitives for Uniquely Localizing WSNs
(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2010)
We provide primitives for uniquely localizing WSN nodes. The goal is to maximize the number of uniquely localized nodes assuming a fully decentralized model of computation. Each node constructs a cluster of its own and ...
An efficient joint channel estimation and decoding algorithm for turbo-coded space-time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing receivers
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2008)
The challenging problem in the design of digital receivers of today's and future high-speed high data-rate wireless communication systems is to implement the optimal decoding and channel estimation processes jointly in a ...
MAP channel-estimation-based PIC receiver for downlink MC-CDMA systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
We propose a joint MAP channel estimation and data detection technique based on the expectation maximization (EM) method with paralel interference cancelation (PIC) for downlink multicarrier (MC) code division multiple ...
Design and performance analysis of a novel trellis coded space-time-frequency OFDM transmission scheme
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)
In this paper a new transmit diversity technique is proposed for wireless communications over frequency selective fading channels. The proposed technique utilises orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to transform ...
Anterior instrumentation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
(Springer Verlag, 2001)
Thirty-two patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis underwent anterior fusion with rigid single rod (third generation instrumentation) and titanium mesh cages. The mean follow-up was 31 (24-45) months and the mean age ...
The evaluation of microbial contamination in platelet concentrates prepared by two different methods
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001)
The microbial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by two different methods both with a high risk of bacterial contamination during preparation and storage were evaluated. For apheresis platelets the ...
