Robust estimation of term structure and implied volatility in emerging markets
(2016-07)Despite powerful advances in interest rate curve modeling for data-rich countries in the last 30 years, comparatively little attention has been paid to the key practicalproblem of estimation of the term structure of interest ... -
Essays on pricing anomalies and the limits of arbitrage in emerging markets
(2016-07)It is a difficult task to explain market anomalies in standard models of asset pricing, as they are all based on the core idea of the law of one price: two assets with equal expected returns have equal values. Otherwise, ... -
Validating android permission requests by analyzing APP descriptions
(2016-07)Android applications can access sensitive user data if they are granted certain permissions. Android security model gives users the responsibility to approve permission requests of applications. For this, a user needs to ... -
Extending static analysis with application-specific rules by analyzing runtime execution traces
(2016-07)Static code analysis tools can generate alerts regarding only generic issues such as uninitialized variables. They cannot detect violations of application-speci c rules. Tools can be extended with specialized checkers that ... -
Coordinated inventory planning for humanitarian relief agencies
(2016-07)Pre-positioning relief supplies in strategic locations around the world is essential for effective disaster response, especially during the critical 72 hours immediately following the disaster. Most of the existing studies ... -
Development of the calibration scheme and system integration of the Ozyegin biopsy robot (OBR)
(2016-08)Imaging systems can fail to visualize cancerous tissues for proper diagnosis. Needle based procedures, like biopsies, increase the chances of accurate diagnosis of tumors. These procedures also have applications in minimally ... -
Diversity techniques for ultraviolet communications
(2016-08)Strong molecular and aerosol scattering in ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths enable mechanisms where transmitter can communicate with the receiver in the absence of line of sight (LOS) link. Recent advances in solid state ... -

Basic psychological needs satisfaction and identity statuses across two social contexts in emerging adulthood
(2016-08)The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived psychological needs satisfaction and identity statuses in emerging adults across two social contexts i.e., parents and best friend. Data were collected ... -
Enhanced unipolar OFDM based relay-assisted visible light communications
(2016-08)Due to spectrum scarcity of the conventional radio frequency (RF) and the higher demand for wireless services, visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a complementary solution to RF technology for ubiquitous ... -
Development of multifunctional tick repellent textiles
(2016-09)This thesis focuses on smart textile manufacturing with tick repellency through encapsulation of the natural extracts and applying them onto the fabric surfaces. Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a human viral infectious ... -
Performance, managerial skill and factor exposures in commodity trading advisors and managed futures funds
