Across two studies (N-Study 1 = 101; N-Study 2 = 262) conducted among children in the UK, we incorporate Bandura's (1986) self-efficacy theory to intergroup contact literature and introduce the new construct of cross-ethnic ...

We investigated associations between cross-group friendships, perceived interethnic conflict, and outgroup attitudes in the context of intractable Turkish–Kurdish conflict in Turkey. Measures of cross-group friendship ...

For cross-sectional two-dimensional thermoacustic imaging of breast and brain, we explored solution of the wave equation using layered tissue model consisting of concentric annular layers on a cylindrical cross-section. ...

Given a bipartite graph G = (L0, L1, E) and a fixed ordering of the nodes in L0, the problem of finding an ordering of the nodes in L1 that minimizes the number of crossings has received much attention in literature. The ...

Recently, an encryption algorithm based on two-dimensional discretized chaotic maps was proposed [Xiang et al., Phys. Lett. A 364 (2007) 252]. In this Letter, we analyze the security weaknesses of the proposal. Using the ...

This paper introduces two different types of attacks on a recently proposed cryptosystem based on chaotic standard and logistic maps. In the two attacks, only a pair of (plaintext/ciphertext) was needed to totally break ...

We cryptanalyze Fridrich's chaotic image encryption algorithm. We show that the algebraic weaknesses of the algorithm make it vulnerable against chosen-ciphertext attacks. We propose an attack that reveals the secret ...

Purpose- As the cryptocurrency market is beginning to attract investors, a new portfolio of cryptocurrencies has been published in the literature on macro-economic factors affecting these currencies. This research also ...

This paper intends to shed light into the blockchain technology in general and the so-called cryptocurrency bubble in particular. After presenting the emergence of the blockchain technology in the context of the historical ...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new concept in Turkey. Leading companies including banks stress socially responsible activities in their marketing communications. The recent economic crisis put banks ...
