Yayın Relative effects of marketing effectiveness dimensions on firm performance: An empirical analysis with a multi-industry sample(Bogazici Universitesi, 2009) Gül, Mısra ÇağlaThe aim of this study is to understand the influence of marketing operational efficiency and marketing system effectiveness on firm performance dimensions. Marketing operational efficiency and marketing system effectiveness are two dimensions of marketing effectiveness derived as a result of the exploratory factor analysis performed on the data. Firm performance dimensions used in the study are overall performance, ROI, percentage of new product sales, change in market share, and sales growth, all measured relative to competitors. Multiple respondent firm level data are collected through a survey of 74 firms operating in a variety of industries, resulting in 296 individual surveys. Findings indicate that marketing operational efficiency, a set of short-term, operational dimensions, positively influences all of the firm performance dimensions. On the other hand, marketing system effectiveness, measuring longer-term, strategic factors, does not have such an impact.Yayın A broadband microwave amplifier design by means of immittance based data modelling tool(IEEE, 2002) Kılınç, Ali; Pınarbaşı, Hacı; Şengül, Metin; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this paper a practical broadband microwave amplifier design algorithm is introduced utilizing the immittance data-modelling tool. In the course of design, first, the optimum input and output terminations for the active device are produced employing the real frequency technique. Then, these terminations are modelled utilizing the new immittance-modelling tool to synthesize the front-end and back-end matching networks. An example is included to exhibit the implementation of the proposed design algorithm to construct a single stage BJT amplifier over a wide frequency band. It is expected that the proposed design algorithm will find applications to realize wideband microwave amplifiers put on MMIC for mobile communication.Yayın Afghanistan's security: Political process, state-building and narcotics(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-06) Aras, Bülent; Toktaş, ŞuleEstablishing political authority and constructing a state instrument would increase trust, which would contribute to stability.1 The lack of political institutions necessary for stability encourages the interference of individuals and groups with "special" interests, at both the state and societal levels.2 Stability is not only a prerequisite for the development of the political process and security within the country; it is also a risk to security, as it would require the involvement of groups and factors in the political process that might hinder security itself. [...] in a setting where fierce security measures are needed, running security operations without supplying adequate security personnel and munitions is an absolute risk.48 CONCLUSION The long-term objective for Afghanistan is to strengthen the state structurally and to set mechanisms in place that would prevent it from working only for narrow or factional interests.Yayın The general equation of motion via the special theory of relativity and quantum mechanics(2004) Yarman, Nuh TolgaHerein we present a whole new approach to the derivation of the Newton's Equation of Motion. This, with the implementation of a metric imposed by quantum mechanics, leads to the findings brought up within the frame of the general theory of relativity (such as the precession of the perihelion of the planets, and the deflection of light nearby a star). To the contrary of what had been generally achieved so far, our basis merely consists in supposing that the gravitational field, through the binding process, alters the "rest mass" of an object conveyed in it. In fact, the special theory of relativity already imposes such a change. Next to this fundamental theory, we use the classical Newtonian gravitational attraction, reigning between two static masses. We have previously shown however that the 1/r2 dependency of the gravitational force is also imposed by the special theory of relativity. Our metric is (just like the one used by the general theory of relativity) altered by the gravitational field (in fact, by any field the "measurement unit" in hand interacts with); yet in the present approach, this occurs via quantum mechanics. More specifically, the rest mass of an object in a gravitational field is decreased as much as its binding energy in the field. A mass deficiency conversely, via quantum mechanics yields the stretching of the size of the object in hand, as well as the weakening of its internal energy. Henceforth one does not need the "principle of equivalence" assumed by the general theory of relativity, in order to predict the occurrences dealt with this theory. Thus we start with the following interesting postulate, hi fact nothing else, but the law conservation of energy, though in the broader relativistic sense of the concept of "energy".Yayın An essential approach to the architecture of diatomic molecules: 1.Basic theory(Optical Soc Amer, 2004-11) Yarman, Nuh TolgaWe consider the quantum-mechanical description of a diatomic molecule of electronic mass m(0e), internuclear distance R-0, and total electronic energy E-0e. We apply to it the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, together with the relation E(0e)m(0e)R(0)(2) similar to h(2) (which we established previously), written for the electronic description (with fixed nuclei). Our approach yields an essential relationship for T-0,T- the classical vibration period, at the total electronic energy E-0e; i.e., T-0 = [4pi(2)/(rootn(1)n(2)h)] rootgM(0)m(e) R-0(2). Here, At,0 is the reduced mass of the nuclei; m(e) is the mass of the electron; g is a dimensionless and relativistically invariant coefficient. roughly around unity (this quantity is associated with the particular electronic structure under consideration; thus, it remains practically the same for bonds bearing similar electronic configurations); and n(1) and n(2) are the principal quantum numbers of electrons making up the bond(s) of the diatomic molecule in hand: because of quantum defects, they are not integer numbers. The above relationship holds generally, although the quantum numbers n(1) and n(2) need to be refined. This task is undertaken in our next article, yielding a whole new systematization regarding all diatomic molecules.Yayın An essential approach to the architecture of diatomic molecules: 2. how are size, vibrational period of time, and mass interrelated?(Optical Soc Amer, 2004-11) Yarman, Nuh TolgaIn our previous article, we arrived at an essential relationship for T the classical vibrational period of a given diatomic molecule, at the total electronic energy E-, i.e., T = [4pi(2)/(rootn(1)n(2)h)] rootgM(0)m(e) R-2, where M-0 to is the reduced mass of the nuclei; m(3) is the mass of the electron; R is the internuclear distance: g is a dimensionless and relativistically invariant coefficient, roughly around unity; and n(1) and n(2) are the principal quantum numbers of electrons making up the bond(s) of the diatomic molecule, which, because of quantum defects. are not integer numbers. The above relationship holds generally. It essentially yields T similar to R 2 for the classical vibrational period versus the square of the internuclear distance in different electronic states of a given molecule. which happens to be an approximate relationship known since 1925 but not understood until now. For similarly configured electronic states, we determine n(1)n(2) to be R/R-0, where R is the internuclear distance in the given electronic state and R-0 is the internuclear distance in the ground state. Furthermore. from the analysis of H-2 spectroscopic data, we found out that the ambiguous states of this molecule are configured like alkali hydrides and Li-2. This suggests that, quantum mechanically, on the basis of an equivalent H-2 excited state. we can describe well, for example, the ground state of Li-2. On the basis of this interesting finding, herein we propose to associate the quantum numbers n(1) and n2 With the bond electrons of the ground state of any diatomic molecule belonging to a given chemical family in reference to the ground state of a diatomic molecule still belonging to this family but bearing, say, the lowest classical vibrational period, since g, depending only on the electronic configuration. will stay nearly constant throughout. This allows us to draw up a complete systematization of diatomic molecules given that g (appearing to be dependent purely on the electronic structure of the molecule) stays constant for chemically alike molecules and n(1)n(2) can be identified to be R-0/R-00 for diatomic molecules whose bonds are electronically configured in the same way, R-00 then being the internuclear distance of the ground state of the molecule chosen as the reference molecule within the chemical fan-Lily under consideration. Our approach discloses the simple architecture of diatomic molecules, otherwise hidden behind a much too cumbersome quantum-mechanical description. This architecture, telling how the vibrational period of Lime. size. and mass are determined, is Lorentz-invariant and can be considered as the mechanism of the behavior of the quantities in question in interrelation with each other when the molecule is brought into uniform translational motion or transplanted into a gravitational field or, in fact, any field with which it can interact.Yayın Azerbaijan's Far Eastern orientation and South Korea(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009-09) Aras, Bülent; Yılmaz, RehaThis paper focuses on Azerbaijan's outreach toward East Asian countries and its relationship with South Korea. Despite their geographical distance from Azerbaijan, countries in the Far East, especially China, Japan, and South Korea, have demonstrated an interest in engagement and explored potential avenues of cooperation. Azerbaijan established support for its political priorities and for its stance on the Karabakh issue as prerequisites and confidence-building measures for potential investors. East Asian states easily fulfilled these two criteria, due to their geographical and ideological distance from the political dynamics of the Caucasus. South Korea showed a genuine concern for Azerbaijan's national interests and problems and played a key role in its economic development. While South Korea was a latecomer, mutual political trust and fruitful economic relations were quickly established. The Azeri administration has entrusted South Korean public and private investors with many significant current and future projects in the oil-and non-oil-related fields. This paper concludes that these projects are indicators of the central role that South Korea will play in Azerbaijan's future.Yayın Virtual team effectiveness using dyadic teams(IEEE, 2007) Karayaz, Gamze; Keating, Charles B.The importance of effectiveness for virtual teamwork continues to gain momentum as technology and globalization of work accelerate. The implementation of virtual teams provides one approach to enhance competitiveness, overcoming the disadvantages of space and time differences through collaborative technologies. The influence of structure to virtual team performance has not been clearly established in the literature. The purpose of this research study was to investigate the effectiveness of a dyad structured approach for virtual teams using a quasi-experimental research design. A virtual dyadic team is considered as two person-structured teams working on a particular task in a virtual collaborative environment. This research investigated four questions related to the influence of structure on virtual team effectiveness related to task performance, communication frequency, and team satisfaction.The results showed significance differences between the two virtual teams. Dyadic teams performed better in arriving at the task solution using less communication to finish the task. Dyadic teams were also more satisfied with their task solution than the self-structured teams. However, results indicated that dyadic teams were not satisfied with operating as a dyadic team in this study. The research also demonstrated that team satisfaction was the most significant predictor of virtual team effectiveness. The paper concludes with implications for technology managers and suggests guidance for improved effectiveness in design and implementation of virtual teams.Yayın Dances with wolves: Russia, Iran and the nuclear issue(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006-12) Aras, Bülent; Özbay, FatihThe Iran-Iraq War, combined with escalating tension with the United States, paved the way in Iranian security circles to new ideas on obtaining nuclear weapons to defend Iran in a hostile regional and international environment. Whether for peaceful nuclear purposes or for producing nuclear weapons, there was a desperate need for external support to pursue a nuclear program. Russian experts spent an initial three months at the site planning how to finish the nuclear plant and placing new reactors in it.3 Under this deal, Russia agreed to educate 20 to 30 Iranian experts in nuclear science at Russian institutes and promised to provide technological and scientific assistance and supply three light-water reactors (1000 MW each) to the nuclear plant.Yayın An essential approach to the architecture of diatomic molecules. 2.
