Yayın FCC-HH: The hadron collider: future circular collider conceptual design report volume 3(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-07-01) Bayındır, Cihan; Abada, Asmaa; Abbrescia, Marcello; AbdusSalam, Shehu S.In response to the 2013 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (EPPSU), the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched as a world-wide international collaboration hosted by CERN. The FCC study covered an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh), a highest-luminosity high-energy lepton collider (FCC-ee), the corresponding 100km tunnel infrastructure, as well as the physics opportunities of these two colliders, and a high-energy LHC, based on FCC-hh technology. This document constitutes the third volume of the FCC Conceptual Design Report, devoted to the hadron collider FCC-hh. It summarizes the FCC-hh physics discovery opportunities, presents the FCC-hh accelerator design, performance reach, and staged operation plan, discusses the underlying technologies, the civil engineering and technical infrastructure, and also sketches a possible implementation. Combining ingredients from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the high-luminosity LHC upgrade and adding novel technologies and approaches, the FCC-hh design aims at significantly extending the energy frontier to 100TeV. Its unprecedented centre of-mass collision energy will make the FCC-hh a unique instrument to explore physics beyond the Standard Model, offering great direct sensitivity to new physics and discoveries.Yayın Sustainability via extended warranty contracts: design for a consumer electronics retailer(MDPI, 2024-01) Aksezer, Sezgin ÇağlarWarranty is one of the most important attributes of any product, from both manufacturer and consumer points of view. Although the retailers connect manufacturers to customers by selling goods, traditionally, they have isolated themselves from warranty-related matters such as customer complaints and maintenance costs. However, recent trends in consumer behavior toward extended warranty contracts have changed this approach. While retailers have started to generate considerable revenue from the sale of these contracts, sustainability is also achieved by longer product life cycles. This study analyzed the failure behavior of different classes of cell phone products and their related costs through a chain of consumer electronics retailer operating in Türkiye. To compete on pricing and customer service, a novel policy was designed for the retailer to honor the contracts in house rather than underwriting to a third party insurer as the industry standard. The maintenance records of 328 previous failures were analyzed to plot a failure model. Failure mode and effects analysis was carried out to identify failure classes and the respective costs for extended warranty design for cell phones. The expected warranty costs for coverage of the third, fourth, and fifth years of operation were determined. The results show that the retailer may achieve the same level of profit by increasing customer satisfaction along with the sustainability of the product through repair actions.Yayın Preparing multipartite entangled spin qubits via pauli spin blockade(Nature Research, 2020-02-26) Buğu, Sinan; Özaydın, Fatih; Ferrus, Thierry; Kodera, TetsuoPreparing large-scale multi-partite entangled states of quantum bits in each physical form such as photons, atoms or electrons for each specific application area is a fundamental issue in quantum science and technologies. Here, we propose a setup based on Pauli spin blockade (PSB) for the preparation of large-scale W states of electrons in a double quantum dot (DQD). Within the proposed scheme, two W states of n and m electrons respectively can be fused by allowing each W state to transfer a single electron to each quantum dot. The presence or absence of PSB then determines whether the two states have fused or not, leading to the creation of a W state of n + m ? 2 electrons in the successful case. Contrary to previous works based on quantum dots or nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, our proposal does not require any photon assistance. Therefore the ‘complex’ integration and tuning of an optical cavity is not a necessary prerequisite. We also show how to improve the success rate in our setup. Because requirements are based on currently available technology and well-known sensing techniques, our scheme can directly contribute to the advances in quantum technologies and, in particular in solid state systems.Yayın Swelling of iota-carrageenan gels prepared with various CaCl2 content: A fluorescence study(European Polymer Federation, 2008-01-05) Tarı İlgin, Özlem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderIota carrageenan gels prepared with various CaCl2 content were completely dried and then swelled in water vapor. Steady-state fluorescence ( SSF) technique was used to monitor the swelling process of each iota carrageenan gels at various temperatures. Pyranine was used as a fluorescence probe. Apparent fluorescence intensity, I increased as swelling time increased for all gel samples. The increase in I was modelled using Li-Tanaka equation from which the swelling time constants, tau(1) and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c were determined. It was observed that D-c increased as the swelling temperature was increased. On the other hand at each temperature, it was seen that D-c decreased as CaCl2 content was increased. Activation energies for swelling were obtained and found to be 60.5, 61.0, 61.5 and 62.8 kJmol(-1) for the gels prepared with increasing amount of CaCl2 content.Yayın Surpassing the classical limit in magic square game with distant quantum dots coupled to optical cavities(Nature Research, 2020-12-17) Buğu, Sinan; Özaydın, Fatih; Kodera, TetsuoThe emergence of quantum technologies is heating up the debate on quantum supremacy, usually focusing on the feasibility of looking good on paper algorithms in realistic settings, due to the vulnerability of quantum systems to myriad sources of noise. In this vein, an interesting example of quantum pseudo-telepathy games that quantum mechanical resources can theoretically outperform classical resources is the Magic Square game (MSG), in which two players play against a referee. Due to noise, however, the unit winning probability of the players can drop well below the classical limit. Here, we propose a timely and unprecedented experimental setup for quantum computation with quantum dots inside optical cavities, along with ancillary photons for realizing interactions between distant dots to implement the MSG. Considering various physical imperfections of our setup, we first show that the MSG can be implemented with the current technology, outperforming the classical resources under realistic conditions. Next, we show that our work gives rise to a new version of the game. That is, if the referee has information on the physical realization and strategy of the players, he can bias the game through filtered randomness, and increase his winning probability. We believe our work contributes to not only quantum game theory, but also quantum computing with quantum dots.Yayın Dendrimers are the unique chemical trees with maximum spectral radius(Univ Kragujevac, 2012) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, JosefIt is shown that dendrimers have maximum spectral radius and maximum Collatz-Sinogowitz index among all chemical trees of given size. The result is also generalized for the class of chemical trees with prescribed number of pendant vertices.Yayın Landscape ecological evaluation of cultural patterns for the Istanbul urban landscape(MDPI, 2022-12) Aksu, Gül Aslı; Tağıl, Şermin; Musaoğlu, Nebiye; Seyek Canatanoğlu, Emel; Uzun, AdnanWith the widespread population growth in cities, anthropogenic influences inevitably lead to natural disturbances. The metropolitan area of Istanbul, with its rapid urbanization rate, has faced intense pressure regarding the sustainability of urban habitats. In this context, landscapes comprising patches affected by various disturbances and undergoing temporal changes must be analyzed, in order to assess city-related disturbances. In this study, the main objective was to understand how urbanization changed the function of the spatial distribution of the urban mosaic and, more specifically, its relationship with the size, shape, and connection among land-use classes. For this purpose, we took Besiktas, a district of Istanbul, as the study area. We evaluated the landscape pattern of the urban environment in two stages. First, we used medium-resolution satellite imagery to reveal the general interactions in the urbanization process. Landscape- and class-level landscape metrics were selected to quantify the landscape connectivity, and the distances between classes (green areas and artificial surfaces), patterns, and processes, using five satellite images representing a time span of 51 years (1963, 1984, 1997, 2005, and 2014). The general landscape structure was examined by looking at the temporal–spatial processes of artificial surface and green areas obtained from these medium-resolution satellite images. The trends in selected landscape-level metrics were specified and discussed through the use of a moving window analysis. We then used Pleiades high-resolution satellite imagery (2015) to analyze the landscape structure in more detail. This high-resolution base image allows us to recognize the possibility of classifying basic cultural landscape classes. The findings regarding the spatial arrangement of each class in the areas allocated to 14 cultural landscape classes were interpreted by associating them with the landscape functions. Finally, particulate matter (PM10) concentration data were collected and evaluated as an ecological indicator, in order to reveal the relationships between landscape structure and landscape function. In short, we first evaluated the whole landscape structure using medium-resolution data, followed by the classification of cultural landscapes using high-resolution satellite imagery, providing a time-effective—and, therefore, essential—auxiliary method for landscape evaluation. This two-stage evaluation method enables inferences to be made that can shed light on the landscape functions in an urban environment based on the landscape structure.Yayın NFC internal: An indoor navigation system(MDPI AG, 2015-04) Özdenizci Köse, Büşra; Coşkun, Vedat; Ok, KeremIndoor navigation systems have recently become a popular research field due to the lack of GPS signals indoors. Several indoors navigation systems have already been proposed in order to eliminate deficiencies; however each of them has several technical and usability limitations. In this study, we propose NFC Internal, a Near Field Communication (NFC)-based indoor navigation system, which enables users to navigate through a building or a complex by enabling a simple location update, simply by touching NFC tags those are spread around and orient users to the destination. In this paper, we initially present the system requirements, give the design details and study the viability of NFC Internal with a prototype application and a case study. Moreover, we evaluate the performance of the system and compare it with existing indoor navigation systems. It is seen that NFC Internal has considerable advantages and significant contributions to existing indoor navigation systems in terms of security and privacy, cost, performance, robustness, complexity, user preference and commercial availability.Yayın Channel modeling and characterization for VLC-based medical body sensor networks: trends and challenges(IEEE, 2021-11-15) Dönmez, Barış; Mitra, Rangeet; Miramirkhani, FarshadOptical Wireless Communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation media through the use of optical carriers, i.e., visible, Infrared (IR), and Ultraviolet (UV) bands. In this paper, we focus on indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC)-based Medical Body Sensor Networks (MBSNs) which allow the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to communicate between on-body sensors/subdermal implants and on-body central hubs/monitoring devices while also serving as a luminaire. Since the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of the communication systems depends heavily on realistic channel modeling and characterization, this paper aims at presenting an up-to-date survey of works on channel modeling activities for MBSNs. The first part reviews existing IR-based MBSNs channel models based on which VLC channel models are derived. The second part of this review provides details on existing VLC-based MBSNs channel models according to the mobility of the MBSNs on the patient’s body. We also present a realistic channel modeling approach called site-specific ray tracing that considers the skin tissue for the MBSNs channel modeling for realistic hospital scenarios.Yayın An application of the modified reductive perturbation method to a generalized boussinesq equation(Walter De Gruyter GMBH, 2013-02) Demiray, HilmiIn this work, we apply "the modified reductive perturbation method" to the generalized Boussinesq equation and obtain various form of generalized KdV equations as the evolution equations. Seeking a localized travelling wave solutions for these evolution equations we determine the scale parameters g(1) and g(2), which corresponds to the correction terms in the wave speed, so as to remove the possible secularities that might occur. Depending on the sign and the values of certain parameters the resulting solutions are shown to be a solitary wave or a periodic solution. The suitability of the method is also shown by comparing the results with the exact travelling wave solution for the generalized Boussinesq equation.
