Yayın Turkey's Kurdish opening: Long awaited achievements and failed expectations(Routledge Journals, 2014-01-02) Kayhan Pusane, ÖzlemTurkish state actors have used mainly military means to first suppress the Kurdish rebellions and then to end the PKK violence from 1984 onwards. However, after the AKP came to office in 2002, the government challenged the hardline state policy and initiated a Kurdish opening. This policy has the ultimate goal of disarming the PKK and resolving the Kurdish question. However, the Kurdish opening so far has failed to bring about the desired policy outcomes because the parties to the Kurdish question have been highly divided on the side of both the state and the Kurds in Turkey.Yayın Cognitive cooperative MAC with one primary and two secondary users: achievable rates and optimal power control(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2014-11) Edemen, Çağatay; Kaya, OnurWe consider a three-user fading cognitive cooperative multiple access channel (MAC) with one primary and two secondary transmitters. We propose two encoding/decoding strategies with varying levels of cooperation, based on block Markov superposition encoding and backward decoding. The first is an overlay model, where the secondary users (SUs) aid the transmission of the primary user (PU) by causally decoding the PU message and forwarding it while also cooperating among each other. The second is an underlay model, where the SUs cooperate by decoding and forwarding each other's messages while treating the signal received from the PU as noise. In either case, the PU is guaranteed to operate at its maximum achievable single user rate. We characterize the achievable SU rate region for both models and maximize this region as a function of the transmit powers. The simulation results show that the SU rate region can be significantly enlarged, particularly using the overlay model.Yayın A critical question for bariatric surgery candidates: why do you think you need surgery and are you ready for change?(Springer, 2014-08-26) Deveci, Ezgi; Yücel, Başak; Sertel Berk, Hanife Özlem; Barbaros, Umut; Türker, Fulya[No abstract available]Yayın Standing waves for a generalized Davey-Stewartson system(IOP Publishing, 2006-10-27) Eden, Osman Alp; Erbay, SaadetIn this paper, we establish the existence of non-trivial solutions for a semi-linear elliptic partial differential equation with a non-local term. This result allows us to prove the existence of standing wave ( ground state) solutions for a generalized Davey-Stewartson system. A sharp upper bound is also obtained on the size of the initial values for which solutions exist globally.Yayın Generalized frames in the space of strong limit power functions(Springer Basel AG, 2013-02) Ünalmış Uzun, BanuBy using the existence of a larger orthonormal basis, the space of strong limit power functions is extended. We use the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform to analyze strong limit power signals and we construct generalized frame decompositions using the discretized versions of these transforms.Yayın A gain-switched self-optimizer for braking controller(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017-06) Dinçmen, ErkinAn emergency braking controller is developed with improved operation characteristics near the maximum friction zone. The methodology is based on self-seeking a-priori unknown optimum operation point to maximize a performance function representing the optimal behavior of the considered dynamic system. Sliding mode with uncertain direction of control vector approach is utilized in the algorithm. An adaptive variable gain is utilized in the algorithm to improve its performance. Via the variable gain, both fast convergence to the a-priori unknown optimum operation point and reduced magnitude of oscillations in the braking moment inputs resulting less aggressive control action are achieved.Yayın Unnecessary bleeding, unnecessary suffering: normalcy and necessity of menstruation in promoting NovaSure (R)(Routledge, 2016-08) Erol Jamieson, MaralNovaSure (R) is an endometrial ablation procedure that destroys the inner lining of uterus to stop heavy bleeding. It is performed mostly on women entering menopause who are experiencing irregular and heavy bleeding. In this article, this biotechnology, promoted for women approaching the end of their reproductive life, is analyzed. The analysis is informed by a feminist science studies and medical anthropology background. The discourse of normal' menstruation and representations of menstruation in the promotional materials for NovaSure (R) are explored through a textual analysis of the NovaSure (R) website and patient brochure. The themes in the materials analyzed include the idea of getting back to life, normal' bleeding, and having a choice among different medical procedures and interventions. The possibility of getting rid of embarrassment that accompanies heavy bleeding is also emphasized. It will be argued that NovaSure (R) contributes to the redefinition of what is natural' and necessary' by combining the unnecessary period' idea of pills such as Seasonale (R), which is aimed toward women in their reproductive years, with the unnecessary suffering' idea related to menopausal complaints. While advertising the procedure, NovaSure (R) promotional materials co-construct the ideal user for the technology and reproduce the taboos and embarrassment that accompany menstruation.Yayın A note on the amplitude modulation of symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity(Springer, 2012-12) Demiray, HilmiWe study the amplitude modulation of a symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity through the use of the reductive perturbation method by introducing a new set of slow variables. The nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with seventh order nonlinearity is obtained as the evolution equation for the lowest order term in the perturbation expansion. It is also shown that the NLS equation with seventh order nonlinearity assumes an envelope type of solitary wave solution.Yayın A note on the exact travelling wave solution to the KdV-Burgers equation(Elsevier Science, 2003-10) Demiray, HilmiIn the present note, by use of the hyperbolic tangent method, a progressive wave solution to the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation is presented. The solution we introduced here is less restrictive and comprises some solutions existing in the current literature (see [Wave Motion 11 (1989) 559; Wave Motion 14 (1991) 369]).Yayın The relationship between a mother's attitude toward domestic violence and children's schooling outcomes in Turkey(Sage Publications Inc, 2014-09) Rende, SevinçThis study explores the relationship between a mother's attitude toward domestic violence and her children's schooling outcomes in Turkey. The sample is drawn from the 2003 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey and consists of 7,951 children within the ages of legally mandated compulsory education. A probit regression model is used to analyze the data. The results suggest that the daughters of mothers who find domestic violence acceptable are 2.6 percentage point less likely to enroll in school, all else being equal, than the daughters of mothers who do not tolerate abuse. In comparison, the schooling outcomes of male children are not statistically sensitive to the mother's attitude toward wife beating. The policy implications of the results are discussed.
