    A low-SWaP, low-Cost transceiver for physically secure UAV communication with visible light
    (Springer, 2020) Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Ergen, Sinem Çöleri; Soner, Burak; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; 7211; N/A
    Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are expected to utilize optical wireless technologies alongside radio frequency technologies for reliable, secure and high bandwidth communications. While terrestrial and atmospheric laser-based solutions in the past have achieved physically secure communication with very complex beam tracking/pointing mechanisms with large and costly telescopes, such systems are neither suitable nor necessary for medium-range (<100 m) commercial UAV communications. With the proliferation of low-cost solid-state lighting equipment and visible band photodetectors, visible light communications (VLC) offer a low-size-weight-and-power (SWaP) and low-cost solution. This paper presents a novel low-SWaP and low-cost transceiver for physically secure VLC in medium-range commercial UAV applications. Full implementation details for a proof-of-concept prototype built completely with off-the-shelf components are also reported.

    Generalized unitarity relation for linear scattering systems in one dimension
    (Springer, 2019) Department of Physics; Department of Mathematics; Mostafazadeh, Ali; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; Department of Mathematics; College of Sciences; 4231
    We derive a generalized unitarity relation for an arbitrary linear scattering system that may violate unitarity, time-reversal invariance, PT - symmetry, and transmission reciprocity.

    DNA repair by photolyases
    (Elsevier, 2019) Öztürk, Nuri; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Kavaklı, İbrahim Halil; Gül, Şeref; Faculty Member; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; College of Sciences; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; 40319; N/A
    Photolyases belong to the cryptochrome/photolyase protein family (CPF) which perform different functions such as DNA repair, circadian photoreceptor, and transcriptional regulation. Photolyase is a flavoprotein that repairs UV-induced DNA damages of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproducts using blue-light as an energy source. This enzyme has two chromophores: flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor and a photoantenna such as methenyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF). The FAD is essential for catalysis of the DNA repair. The second chromophore absorbs photons from the blue light spectrum and transfers energy to FAD to increase the repair efficiency of the enzyme. Phylogenetic analysis in which amino acid sequences of several hundreds of CPF members are used suggests that they form more classes than we have considered so far. In this chapter, we discussed structure-functions and reaction mechanisms of different classes of photolyases.

    The changing waves of migration from the Balkans to Turkey: a historical account
    (Springer, 2015) Sert, Deniz; Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 207882
    Ahmet İçduygu and Deniz Sert tell the history of migration from the Balkans to Turkey from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. They relate this history to nation-building, but also to economic conditions and specific Turkish concerns, such as the perceived need for immigration to compensate for a declining population at that time. They also demonstrate that after 1990, ethnic migration decreased and irregular labour migration became more important.
