Does plant knowledge within urban forests and parks directly influence visitor pro-environmental behaviors
(MDPI, 2018-03-28)
Urban parks and forests provide many services to society and are becoming essential components within urban landscapes worldwide. While substantial research and actions have been taken to understand various ecosystem ...
On characterizing sectoral interactions via connections between employees in professional online social networks
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
The collaboration among individuals is essential to maximize economic efficiency. Today most of the technological and economical advancements require multidisciplinary efforts. Therefore promoting interaction and knowledge ...
Decision rule bounds for two-stage stochastic bilevel programs
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Publications, 2018)
We study two-stage stochastic bilevel programs where the leader chooses a binary here-and-now decision and the follower responds with a continuous wait-and-see decision. Using modern decision rule approximations, we construct ...
Introduction of a spatio-temporal mapping based POE method for outdoor spaces: Suburban university campus as a case study
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Outdoor spaces are important to sustainable cities because they establish a common identity for social life by improving quality of urban living. The relation between outdoor spaces and building groups, competency, use ...
Making a case over Greco-Turkish rivalry: major power linkages and rivalry strength
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2018)
The goal of the paper is to explore how the intensity of the Greco-Turkish rivalry (in the 19th and 20th centuries) was affected by variation in the intensity of rivalries between major powers that have political and ...

The motivation of this article is to analyze and define the barriers and opportunities in senior people’s adaptation to the Internet-based services in Turkey. Digitalization has emerged in developed countries where people’s ...
Design and comparison of 4 types of dual resonance proximity coupled microstrip patch antennas
(The Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society, 2018-10)
In this paper there are four different shapes of proximity patch antennas (straight, trimmed, trapezoid and ribbon). The minimum input match achieved with the straight proximity patch antenna as -39.68 dB. The maximum gain ...
Design and simulation of an optimal energy management strategy for plug-In electric vehicles
(IEEE, 2018)
Energy management algorithms play a critical role in improving the energy efficiency of modern electric vehicles. In order to be desirable for the customer, electric vehicles should be capable of long distance driving on ...
Democratization of HPC cloud services with automated parallel solvers and application containers
(Wiley, 2018-11-10)
In this paper, we investigate several design choices for HPC services at different layers of the cloud computing architecture to simplify and broaden its use cases. We start with the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer and ...
Evaluation of chemical mechanical polishing-based surface modification on 3D dental implants compared to alternative methods
(MDPI AG, 2018-11-15)
Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has been introduced in previous studies as a synergistic technique to modify the surface chemistry and topography of titanium-based implants to control their biocompatibility. In this ...
