Assessing the importance of international tourism for the Turkish economy: a social accounting matrix analysis
(Elsevier Science, 2012)The international tourism sector has grown rapidly in Turkey since the 1980s and Turkey ranks among the top ten countries in terms of tourist arrivals and receipts. Previous studies on international tourism in Turkey are ... -
An assessment of mining efficiency in Turkish lignite industry
(Elsevier Science, 2015)This article focuses on the mining activities of Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKI) the major lignite supplier in Turkey. First we analyzed the lignite production and overburden removal activities of TKI from a historical ... -
Carboxylic acid derivatives display potential selectivity for human histone deacetylase 6: Structure-based virtual screening molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies
(Elsevier Science, 2018)Human histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been shown to play a major role in oncogenic cell transformation via deacetylation of alpha-tubulin making it a viable target of anticancer drug design and development. The crystal ... -
Civilizational futures: Clashes or alternative visions in the age of globalization?
(Elsevier Science, 2010)This article underlines the existing similarities between Samuel Huntington's civilizational approach hypothesis and the fundamentals of political Islam. The similarity pertains to the argument related to the gradual ... -
Computing finite time non-ruin probability and some joint distributions in discrete time risk model with exchangeable claim occurrences
(Elsevier Science, 2017)In this paper we study a discrete time risk model based on exchangeable dependent claim occurrences. In particular we obtain expressions for the finite time non-ruin probability and the joint distribution of the time to ... -
Contraction and deletion blockers for perfect graphs and H-free graphs
(Elsevier Science, 2018)We study the following problem: for given integers d k and graph G can we reduce some fixed graph parameter pi of G by at least d via at most k graph operations from some fixed set S? As parameters we take the chromatic ... -
Critical phenomenon during photoinitiated gelation at different temperatures: A Photo-DSC study
(Elsevier Science, 2011)The behaviour of photoinitiated radical polymerization of an 80 wt% epoxy diacrylate (EA) and 20 wt% tripropyleneglycoldiacrylate (TPGDA) mixture with 2-mercaptothioxanthone (TX-SH) photoinitiator was studied at different ... -
Cumulative prospect theory preferences in rent-seeking contests
(Elsevier Science, 2018)We investigate the equilibrium behavior for agents with cumulative prospect theory preferences in rent-seeking contests. Characterizing the equilibrium effort levels we present results on the existence of equilibrium and ... -
Double branch outage modeling and simulation: Bounded network approach
(Elsevier Science, 2015)Energy management system operators perform regular outage simulations in order to ensure secure operation of power systems. AC power flow based outage simulations are not preferred because of insufficient computational ... -
The effect of a bump in an elastic tube on wave propagation in a viscous fluid of variable viscosity
(Elsevier Science, 2007)In the present work treating the arteries as a thin walled prestressed elastic tube with a bump and the blood as a Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a ... -
The effects of Dea:water ratio on the properties of ZnO nanofilms obtained by spin coating method
(Elsevier Science, 2014)In this work the ZnO were fabricated with the sol-gel spin coating method and the effects of the Dea:water ratios on the properties of the as-prepared ZnO thin films were determined by using a X-ray diffractometer transmission ... -
Energy consumption and income in Chinese provinces: heterogeneous panel causality analysis
(Elsevier Science, 2012)Recently energy production in China fell behind energy consumption. This poses important challenges for the rapidly growing Chinese economy. As a consequence the causal relationship between energy consumption and GDP is ... -
Fluorescence study of film formation from PS/Al2O3 nanocomposites
(Elsevier Science, 2014)Steady state fluorescence (SSF) and UV-vis (UVV) techniques were used to study the film formation behavior of pyrene (P) labeled polystyrene (PS) latex and Al2O3 (PS/Al2O3) composites depending on PS particles size and ... -
Forecasting the Coal Production: Hubbert Curve Application on Turkey's Lignite Fields
(Elsevier Science, 2016)The dependence on imported energy sources is one of the biggest challenges that Turkey and many other similar countries face in the 21st Century and the gap between production and consumption cannot be decreased without ... -
Implicit evaluations about driving skills predicting driving performance
(Elsevier Science, 2018)Self-reported measures of driving skills have the potential shortcomings of the general self report methodology such as social responding and self-enhancement biases. In the present study the Implicit Association Test (IAT) ... -
In situ steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique to study drying of PAAm hydrogels made of various cross-linker contents
(Elsevier Science, 2009)Drying experiments of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels were performed using steady-state fluorescence (SSF) spectrometer. Pyranine (P) was introduced as a fluorescence probe and intensity of P from various crosslinker content ... -
Lignite resources of Turkey: Geology reserves and exploration history
(Elsevier Science, 2014)This article aims to emphasize the importance of lignite which is the mostly used domestic energy source in the Turkish energy mix by briefly overviewing its geology reserves and exploration. Lignites are distributed in ... -
