Anti-tobacco control industry strategies in Turkey
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2018-02-26)
Background: Transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) penetrated the Turkish cigarette market due to trade and investment liberalization in the post-1980 period and eventually secured full control. Despite tobacco control ...
Spherical coding algorithm for wavelet image compression
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009-05)
In recent literature, there exist many high-performance wavelet coders that use different spatially adaptive coding techniques in order to exploit the spatial energy compaction property of the wavelet transform. Two crucial ...
Minimally redundant 2-D array designs for 3-D medical ultrasound imaging
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009-07)
In real-time ultrasonic 3-D imaging, in addition to difficulties in fabricating and interconnecting 2-D transducer arrays with hundreds of elements, there are also challenges in acquiring and processing data from a large ...
Moral reasoning and moral orientation of U.S. and Turkish university students
(Ammons Scientific, 2010-10)
Participants from an individualistic society (USA) were compared with participants from a collectivistic society (Turkey) in terms of moral reasoning and orientation (justice and care). A total of 396 undergraduates (203 ...
Nonreciprocal switching of VO2 thin films on microstructured surfaces
(Optical Soc Amer, 2010-05-15)
We demonstrate that the combination of near-field focusing and a switchable oxide layer permits construction of a modulator with different optical switching thresholds in two opposing directions. For that purpose VO2 layers ...
NFC internal: An indoor navigation system
(MDPI AG, 2015-04)
Indoor navigation systems have recently become a popular research field due to the lack of GPS signals indoors. Several indoors navigation systems have already been proposed in order to eliminate deficiencies; however each ...
Rogue waves of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation in a chaotic wave field
(American Physical Society, 2016-03-01)
In this paper we study the properties of the chaotic wave fields generated in the frame of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation (KEE). Modulation instability results in a chaotic wave field which exhibits small-scale filaments with ...
Clinical and radiological results of oxford phase-3 medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
(Cureus INC, 2019-11-04)
Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the effectiveness of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) by showing the results of the radiological and clinical outcomes of the patients. Materials ...
Quantum metrology: Surpassing the shot-noise limit with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-11-09)
Entanglement is at the heart of quantum technologies such as quantum information and quantum metrology. Providing larger quantum Fisher information (QFI), entangled systems can be better resources than separable systems ...
Rogue wave spectra of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation
(Amer Physical Soc., 2016-06-15)
In this paper we analyze the rogue wave spectra of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation (KEE). We compare our findings with their nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) analogs and show that the spectra of the individual rogue waves ...
