    It has been suggested that drift loss to the magnetopause can be one of the major loss mechanisms contributing to relativistic electron flux dropouts. In this study, we examine details of relativistic electrons' drift physics to determine the extent to which the drift loss through the magnetopause is important to the total loss of the outer radiation belt. We have numerically computed drift paths of relativistic electrons' guiding center for various pitch angles, various measurement positions, and different solar wind conditions using the Tsyganenko T02 model. We specifically demonstrate how the drift loss effect depends on these various parameters. Most importantly, we present various estimates of relative changes of the omnidirectional flux of 1 MeV electrons between two different solar wind conditions based on a simple form of the directional flux function. For a change of the dynamic pressure from 4 nPa to 10 nPa with a fixed IMF B-Z = 0 nT, our estimate indicates that after this increase in pressure, the equatorial omnidirectional flux at midnight near geosynchronous altitude decreases by similar to 56 to similar to 97%, depending on the specific pitch angle dependence of the directional flux. The effect rapidly decreases at regions earthward of geosynchronous orbit and shows a general trend of decrease away from midnight. For a change of the IMF BZ from 0 nT to -15 nT with a fixed dynamic pressure of 4 nPa, the relative decrease of the omnidirectional flux at geosynchronous altitude on the nightside is much smaller than that for the pressure increase, but its effect becomes substantial only beyond geosynchronous orbit. Possibilities exist that our results may change to some extent for a different magnetospheric model than the one used here.

    Evcil hayvanlar için eylem tanıma ve izleme sistemi
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2018-07-05) Demir, Güneycan; Tüysüz Erman, Ayşegül
    Ülkemizde dünyada olduğu gibi evcil hayvan sahiplenme oranı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Evcil hayvan sahipleri hayvanlarının sağlıklarını takip etmek için çeşitli araçlar ve yöntemler kullanmaktadırlar. Hayvan sağlığının takibi için kullanılan yöntemlerin başında hayvanın hareketlilik seviyesinin gözlemlenmesi gelmektedir. Hareketlik seviyesinde azalma çoğu hayvan hastalığında ilk ve en belirgin semptomlardandır. Bu çalışmada, evcil hayvanların eylemlerinin otomatik olarak tanınması ve takibi için bir Nesnelerin Interneti sistemi geliştirilmiştir. Sistemde evcil hayvanın tasmasına takılan bir sensör düğüm, bu düğümün topladığı verileri bulut mimarisine aktaran bir mobil uygulama ve bulut mimaride verileri otomatik olarak sınıflandıran ve görselleştiren bir yazılım ve arayüz bulunmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler ile evcil hayvanın bir gün içindeki hareketliliği farklı eylem sınıfları (oturma, yürüme, koşma) gösterilerek belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada denek olarak köpek kullanılmıştır.

    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.
