Turkish Efforts in Peacekeeping and the Introduction of the TUBAKOV Dataset: An Exploratory Analysis
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)
This study introduces the TUBAKOV dataset which offers extensive data on 57 peacekeeping operations (PKOs) that Turkey has contributed to between the years 1988-2015. TUBAKOV improves existing data in several ways. First ...
Re-Considering The Linkage Between The Antecedents and Consequences of Happiness
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
A growing number of studies examine the antecedents of happiness but only a handful of them appear to undertake an analysis of its consequences. Employing a unique cross-sectional data set of 413 adults we examine the ...
Weight Exchange in Distributed Learning
(IEEE, 2016)
Neural networks may allow different organisations to extract knowledge from the data they collect about a similar problem domain. Moreover learning algorithms usually benefit from being able to use more training instances. ...
Generalized LED Index Modulation Optical OFDM for MIMO Visible Light Communications Systems
(IEEE, 2016)
In this paper we propose a generalized light emitting diode (LED) index modulation scheme for multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) visible light communications (VLC) systems. ...
EM-Based MAP channel estimation and data detection for downlink MCC-CDMA systems
(IEEE, 2007)
In this work 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 multi-carrier (MC) code division ...
EM-based joint data detection and channel estimation for uplink MC-CDMA systems over frequency selective channels
(IEEE, 2007)
This paper is concerned with joint channel estimation and data detection for uplink multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems in the presence of frequency fading channel. The detection and estimation ...
