Yayın Topography of inland deltas: Observations, modeling, and experiments(Amer Geophysical Union, 2010-04-28) Seybold, Hansjörg J.; Molnar, Peter; Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Doumi, M.; Tavares, M. Cavalcanti; Shinbrot, Troy; Andrade, Jose Soares; Kinzelbach, Wolfgang; Herrmann, Hans JürgenThe topography of inland deltas is influenced by the water-sediment balance in distributary channels and local evaporation and seepage rates. In this letter a reduced complexity model is applied to simulate inland delta formation, and results are compared with the Okavango Delta, Botswana and with a laboratory experiment. We show that water loss in inland deltas produces fundamentally different dynamics of water and sediment transport than coastal deltas, especially deposition associated with expansion-contraction dynamics at the channel head. These dynamics lead to a systematic decrease in the mean topographic slope of the inland delta with distance from the apex following a power law with exponent alpha = -0.69 +/- 0.02 where the data for both simulation and experiment can be collapsed onto a single curve. In coastal deltas, on the contrary, the slope increases toward the end of the deposition zone.Yayın Optimal deployment in randomly deployed heterogeneous WSNs: A connected coverage approach(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-11) Sevgi, Cüneyt; Koçyiğit, AltanWireless sensor networks (WSNs) are resource-scarce networks and the optimization of the resources is challenging. As far as random deployment is concerned, the optimization of these resources becomes even more difficult In this paper, a novel framework is proposed for solving optimal deployment problems for randomly deployed and clustered WSNs. In several existing approaches to solve these problems, either only partial-coverage is considered or only connectivity is analyzed when full-coverage is assured. Through this study, we aim to contribute to the better understanding of partial connected coverage. For this purpose, we introduce cluster size formulations which provide network designers with estimating partial-coverage easily. While the proposed framework facilitates our cluster size formulations for coverage estimations, it also adopts the percolation theory to analyze the degree of connectivity when the targeted degree of partial-coverage is achieved. As the partial connected coverage approach reflects real-life deployment scenarios, the use of percolation theory results in generic solutions of optimal deployment problems, which indeed makes the solution independent from any routing algorithms. Moreover, a practical optimal deployment problem is formulated to find the cheapest WSN application that satisfies the targeted degree of partial connected coverage. Further, in this paper, the cost effectiveness of the node heterogeneity is investigated through comparing the heterogeneous WSNs with their homogeneous counterparts.Yayın Local elections and the Turkish voter: Looking for the determinants of party choice(Routledge Journals, 2014-10-02) Kalaycıoğlu, Mahmut ErsinOn 30 March 2014 Turkish voters elected their local (city) councillors. Their party preferences seem to indicate considerable correspondence with the national vote choices. So, do voters' choices in local elections differ from voters' party preferences at the national legislative elections? Based on previous research findings on Turkish voting behaviour, a list of hypotheses was compiled and tested, using binary logistic regression analyses and survey data collected immediately prior to the 2009 and 2014 local elections. The main findings are that the party lists are supported at the ballot boxes on the basis of the voters' party identification, ideological positions, and economic (dis)satisfaction, whether in national or local elections.Yayın Constructing quantum logic gates using q-deformed harmonic oscillator algebras(Springer, 2014-04) Altıntaş, Azmi Ali; Özaydın, Fatih; Yeşilyurt, Can; Buğu, Sinan; Arık, MetinWe study two-level q-deformed angular momentum states, and using q-deformed harmonic oscillators, we provide a framework for constructing qubits and quantum gates. We also present the construction of some basic one-qubit and two-qubit quantum logic gates.Yayın Optimal deployment in randomly deployed heterogeneous WSNs: A connected coverage approach (vol 46, pg 182, 2014)(Academic Press LTD- Elsevier Science LTD, 2015-05) Sevgi, Cüneyt; Koçyiğit, Altan[No abstract available]Yayın Logic programming approach to automata-based decision procedures(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017-01) Ünel, Gülay; Toman, DavidWe propose a novel technique that reduces the decision problem of WSnS (weak monadic second-order logic with n successors) to the problem of evaluation of Complex-value Datalog queries. We then show how the use of advanced implementation techniques for Logic Programs, in particular the use of tabling in the XSB system, yields a considerable improvement in performance over more traditional approaches. We also explore various optimizations of the proposed technique based on variants of tabling and goal reordering. Although our primary focus is on WS1S, the logic of single successor, we show that it is straightforward to adapt our approach for other logics with existing automata-theoretic decision procedures, for example WS2S.Yayın Generating multi-photon W-like states for perfect quantum teleportation and superdense coding(Springer New York LLC, 2016-05-06) Li, Ke; Kong, Fanzhen; Özaydın, Fatih; Yang, Qing; Cao, Zhuo-Liang; Yang, MingAn interesting aspect of multipartite entanglement is that for perfect teleportation and superdense coding, not the maximally entangled W states but a special class of non-maximally entangled W-like states are required. Therefore, efficient preparation of such W-like states is of great importance in quantum communications, which has not been studied as much as the preparation of W states. In this paper, we propose a simple optical scheme for efficient preparation of large-scale polarization-based entangled W-like states by fusing two W-like states or expanding a W-like state with an ancilla photon. Our scheme can also generate large-scale W states by fusing or expanding W or even W-like states. The cost analysis shows that in generating large-scale W states, the fusion mechanism achieves a higher efficiency with non-maximally entangled W-like states than maximally entangled W states. Our scheme can also start fusion or expansion with Bell states, and it is composed of a polarization-dependent beam splitter, two polarizing beam splitters and photon detectors. Requiring no ancilla photon or controlled gate to operate, our scheme can be realized with the current photonics technology and we believe it enable advances in quantum teleportation and superdense coding in multipartite settingsYayın Elucidation of the complete set of H-2 electronic states' vibrational data(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-11) Yarman, Nuh TolgaWe have previously established that, the vibration period T of a diatomic molecule, can be expressed as T = [4pi(2)/(rootninjh)]rootgM(0)m(e)r(2), where M-0 is the reduced mass of the nuclei, M-e the mass of the electron, r the internuclear distance of the molecule at the given electronic state, It the Planck Constant, and g a dimensionless and relativistically invariant coefficient, which appears to be a characteristic of the electronic configuration of the molecule. Herein we validate this relationship, chiefly on the basis of vibrational data of H-2 molecule's electronic states, and achieve its calibration, vis-a-vis the quantum numbers that it is to involve. This, basically yields, the elucidation of the complete set of H-2 spectroscopic data. Thus, the composite quantum number n(1)n(2) along our finding is nothing but the ratio of the internuclear distance r at the given electronic state, to the internuclear distance r(0) at the ground state. This makes that for electronic states configured alike, for which g is expected to remain the same, T-2 versus r(3), should exhibit a linear behavior. Our approach can well be applied to other molecules.Yayın On the identification of microstretch elastic moduli of materials by using vibration data of plates(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2008-06) Kırış, Ahmet; İnan, EsinIn the present work, the vibration problems of rectangular plates modeled by Eringen's microstretch theory are investigated for the identification of the upper bounds of the microstretch moduli of the plate material. The calculated frequencies of the plates are obtained by extending the Ritz method to the microstretch plates. The three dimensional (3D) vibration analysis of the plates shows that some additional frequencies occur among the classical frequencies as characterizing the microstretch effects. Then it is also observed that these additional frequencies disappear and only the classical frequencies remain with the increasing values of microstretch constants. The inverse problem is established for the identification of the upper bounds of the microstretch elastic constants as an optimization problem where an error function is minimized.Yayın Design and implementation of a smart beehive and its monitoring system using microservices in the context of IoT and open data(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05) Aydın, Şahin; Aydın, Mehmet NafizIt is essential to keep honey bees healthy for providing a sustainable ecological balance. One way of keeping honey bees healthy is to be able to monitor and control the general conditions in a beehive and also outside of a beehive. Monitoring systems offer an effective way of accessing, visualizing, sharing, and managing data that is gathered from performed agricultural and livestock activities for domain stakeholders. Such systems have recently been implemented based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) and IoT to monitor the activities of honey bees in beehives as well. Scholars have shown considerable interests in proposing IoT- and WSN-based beehive monitoring systems, but much of the research up to now lacks in proposing appropriate architecture for open data driven beehive monitoring systems. Developing a robust monitoring system based on a contemporary software architecture such as microservices can be of great help to be able to control the activities of honey bees and more importantly to be able to keep them healthy in beehives. This research sets out to design and implementation of a sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring platform using a microservice architecture. We pointed out that by adopting microservices one can deal with long-standing problems with heterogeneity, interoperability, scalability, agility, reliability, maintainability issues, and in turn achieve sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring systems.
