    Technology and politics: have the ICTs turned into a domain for civil-military relations in Turkey?
    (Routledge Journals, 2016-07-02) Karakaya Polat, Rabia; Kayhan Pusane, Özlem
    The implications of technology have been widely acknowledged in international relations. Studies ranging from the causes of war and military effectiveness to terrorism and nuclear proliferation have explored how technology shapes international politics. However, the implications of technology in domestic politics have not been scrutinised much. This paper helps fill this vacuum through an analysis of Turkey's civil-military relations. Although civilian control over the Turkish military has improved in the past decade, this process has not been smooth. With a focus on the recent court cases involving the military, the 2007 e-memorandum and the transfer of electronic military intelligence apparatus to the civilian authority, this paper demonstrates how technology has become an important domain for civil-military relations in Turkey.

    Imaging of rough surfaces by RTM method
    (IEEE, 2024) Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, Ali; Yelkenci, Tanju
    An electromagnetic imaging framework is implemented utilizing a single frequency reverse time migration (RTM) technique to accurately reconstruct inaccessible two-dimensional (2D) rough surface profiles from the knowledge of scattered field data. The unknown surface profile, which is expressed as a 1D height function, is either perfectly electric conducting (PEC) or an interface between two penetrable media. For both cases, it is assumed that the surface is illuminated by a number of line sources located in the upper medium. The scattered fields, which should be collected by real measurements in practical applications, are obtained synthetically by solving the associated direct scattering problem through the surface integral equations. RTM is subsequently applied to generate a cross-correlation imaging functional which is evaluated numerically and provides a 2D image of the region of interest. A high correlation is observed by the functional in the regions where the transitions between two media occur. Hence, it results in the acquisition of the unknown surface profile at the sites where the functional attains its highest values. The efficiency of the proposed method is comprehensively tested by numerical examples covering various types of scattering scenarios.

    A higher-order model for transverse waves in a generalized elastic solid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2002-11) Hacınlıyan, Avadis Simon; Erbay, Saadet
    In the present study, the nonlinear modulation of transverse waves propagating in a generalized elastic solid is studied using a multi-scale expansion of quasi-monochromatic wave solutions. In particular, to include the higher-order nonlinear and dispersive effects in the evolution equations, higher-order perturbation equations are considered, and it is shown that the modulation of two transverse waves is governed by a pair of the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger (HONLS) equations. In the absence of one of the transverse waves, the coupled HONLS equations reduce to the single HONLS equation that has already been obtained in the context of nonlinear optics. Some special solutions to the coupled HONLS equations are also presented.
