Performance, managerial skill and factor exposures in commodity trading advisors and managed futures funds
(2016-09)
Understanding risk is important. Prior to 2008, as the yields on safe assets hit rock bottom, investors turned their focus to an alphabet soup of more complex instruments. These complex securities were rated AAA, they ...
Measurement of the X(3872) production cross section via decays to J/psi pi(+)pi(-) in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013-04)
The production of the X(3872) is studied in pp collisions at root s = 7TeV, using decays to J/psi pi(+)pi(-), where the J/psi decays to two muons. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment and correspond to an integrated ...
Use of corn-steep liquor as an alternative carbon source for biomineralization in cement-based materials and its impact on performance
(Elsevier, 2018-03-20)
Early age microcracks are generally the primary cause for a decrease in service life of cement-based structures. Recent studies suggested that it might be possible to develop a smart cement-based material that could self-heal ...
Colour gamut enhancement with remote light conversion mechanism
(2018-01)
The colour gamut of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) depends on the backlight unit spectrum. For the light emitting diode (LED) based backlight units, either phosphors or quantum dots are used to convert the blue light of ...
Teachers' innovativeness and teaching approach: The mediating role of creative classroom behaviors
(Scientific Journal Publishers, 2018-10)
We examined the associations between teachers' innovativeness, creative classroom behaviors, and teaching approach (constructivist and traditional) focusing in particular, on the mediating role of teachers' creative classroom ...
Measurement of the ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) cross sections in pp collisions at =7 TeV
(Elsevier, 2013-11-25)
The Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) production cross sections are measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.8±1.4 pb−1 of proton–proton collisions at s√=7 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at ...
Citizenship ethics: German-Turkish return migrants, belonging, and justice
(Sage, 2018-08-01)
This article examines citizenship for German-Turkish return migrants attending monthly meetings of the Rückkehrer Stammtisch (Returner’s Meetings) in Istanbul. Meeting attendees call themselves “world citizens” and remain ...
Device-to-device communication in 5G cellular networks: challenges, solutions, and future directions
(IEEE, 2014-05)
In a conventional cellular system, devices are not allowed to directly communicate with each other in the licensed cellular bandwidth and all communications take place through the base stations. In this article, we envision ...
Performance analysis of parallel relaying in free-space optical systems
(IEEE, 2015-11)
In this paper, we investigate the information theoretic performance of parallel relaying in free-space optical (FSO) communications over Gamma-Gamma fading channels. We consider an intensity modulation/direct-detection ...
Model-based software product line testing by coupling feature Mmodels with hierarchical Markov chain usage models
(IEEE, 2016)
Model-based testing automates test case generation based on usage models of a system. In this paper, we introduce an approach for systematic reuse of these models for testing a large family of products. In our approach, ...
