Effects of roller burnishing on the surface integrity and mechanical properties of duplex and 316L stainless steels
(2021-01-15)Roller burnishing (RB) or deep rolling is a mechanical surface treatment method to enhance the surface integrity of manufactured components which affects component’s performance. Although there are some valuable researches ... -
The effects of social support, differentiation of self and locus of control on anxiety
(2019-07)This quantitative cross-sectional study was designed to examine the effects of social support, locus of control and differentiation of self on anxiety. Using the Bowen’s Family Systems Theory, we aimed at examining the ... -
The effects of the child, maternal and environmental characteristics on behavioral problems in early childhood period
(2018-01)The main aim of the present thesis study was to compare the mothers and children from low- and high-socioeconomic status (SES) in terms of the mothers' social support, stress, perception of the child intentionality, and ... -
Effects of unbonded mild steel on seismic performance of unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete shear walls
Seismic energy dissipation of precast concrete lateral force-resisting systems constructed based on non-emulative or jointed connections is very limited since these systems experience little to no damage during seismic ... -
An efficient algorithm for disparity map compression based on spatial correlations and its low-cost hardware architecture
This thesis proposes a low-cost Disparity Map (DM) compression algorithm and its hardware architecture for high resolution and high frame rate applications, where limited computational capacity and power consumption make ... -
Efficient methodologies for actualizing haptic feedback in consumer electronics
(2021-06-11)There are significant limitations to creating effective haptic illusions in mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. The main limitations are that these devices are too small in size to accommodate complex actuators ... -
Electrical and financial analyses of ev charging stations by statistical and probabilistic simulation
Increasing environmental pollution with the increase of vehicles that have internal combustion engines has led people to alternative methods due to the transportation sector's share in environmental pollution. Last decade, ... -

(2019-06-10)In this thesis, the relationship between the interbank connections and the systemic risk have been analyzed in the Turkish Banking System. The data is gathered from the financial statements of banks on a yearly basis between ... -
Encoding inferential evidence for events in language: evidence from Turkish speaking children and adults
Learning and communicating about events are fundamental aspects of an individual’s life. Yet, how people learn about events often vary with some events perceived in their entirety and others are inferred based on available ... -
Energy and exergy efficiency analyses of high-performance buildings
(2018-11-26)Reducing building energy density has become one of the global requirements to a decrease fuel consumption and emission production, and consequently making our world sustainable. The high value of energy consumed by buildings ... -
Energy consumption modeling and optimization of speed profile for plug-in electric vechiles
(2018-05)In recent years, there is a surge in research on Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs), as PEVs are one of the ways that we can reduce carbon emissions. Dramatic cost reduction in PEVs has resulted in their becoming mainstream ... -
Energy efficiency analysis and improving performance of light emitting diodes
(2018-12)Energy efficiency of light sources continually increases as the technology advance. Traditional light sources have inefficiency, large sizes, short life times and poisonous mercury vapor. On the other hand, the improvements ... -
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 ... -
Enhancement of 360-video experience during head motion
Efficient use of available bandwidth is vital when streaming 360-degree videos, as users rarely have enough bandwidth for a pleasant experience. The combination of viewport-dependent streaming (VDS) and rate adaptation is ... -
