Publication Metadata only “Das recht auf vergessen" im rahmen des schutzes personenbezogener daten und die beurteilung in bezug auf die Türkei(İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, 2017) N/A; N/A; Önok, Rıfat Murat; Faculty Member; Law School; 178418Das “Recht auf Vergessen” hat in den letzten Jahren in der internationalen Literatur an Popularität gewonnen. Die Zahl der wissenschaftlichen Studien zu diesem Thema nimmt rasch zu. Wir sind jedoch weit entfernt davon, einen Konsens in der Lehre über die Grundlage dieses Rechts, sein Zweck und noch wichtiger über sein Inhalt und Umfang zu erzielen. Nach der Google-Entscheidung des EuGH, das hinsichtlich der Existenz (oder Nichtexistenz) eines solchen Rechts eine neue Dimension aufwirft und in Bezug auf Individuen an Bedeutung gewinnt, ist es nunmehr notwendig, das Recht auf Vergessen unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Es fällt auf, dass auch der “Yargıtay” damit begonnen hat, dieses Recht in seinen Entscheidungen zu nennen. In diesem Zusammenhang werden in diesem Aufsatz die Begriffsbestimmung, streitige Fragen in Bezug auf den Inhalt dieses Rechts, die Verbindung und Folgen der Google-Entscheidung mit diesem Recht, sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Fragen, die sich aus dem EUGH-Urteil und der Umsetzung eines solchen Rechts ergeben können, sowie eine Reihe von Fragen, die sich im Zusammenhang mit diesem Recht für die Türkei ergeben können untersucht. / Son yıllarda uluslararası literatürde popülarite kazanan kavramlardan biri“unutulma hakkı”dır. Konuya dair akademik çalışmaların sayısı hızla artmakla birlikte;hakkın dayanağı, hizmet ettiği amacı ve daha da önemlisi, tam içeriği ve kapsamı hakkın-da doktrinde görüş birliği sağlanmasına henüz uzağız. Buna rağmen, böyle bir hakkınvarlığının (veya yokluğunun) bireyler açısından önemi ve konuya yeni bir boyut kazandı-ran, Avrupa Birliği Adalet Divanı’nın Google kararı sonrasında, unutulma hakkının irde-lenmesi zorunluluk arz etmektedir. Yargıtay’ımızın da kararlarında kavrama yer vermeyebaşladığı dikkati çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada; kavramın tanımı, içeriğine dairtartışmalı hususlar, Google kararının bu hakla bağlantısı ve sonuçları, gerek ABAD kara-rından gerekse böyle bir hakkın uygulanmasından kaynaklanabilecek teorik ve pratiksorunlar, Türkiye açısından bu hakla bağlantılı birtakım meseleler incelenmiştir.Publication Metadata only “Smart poisoning” of Co/SiO2 catalysts by sulfidation for chirality-selective synthesis of (9,8) single-walled carbon nanotubes(2016) Yuan, Yang; Karahan, H. Enis; Wei, Li; Zhai, Shengli; Lau, Raymond; Chen, Yuan; N/A; Yıldırım, Cansu; Birer, Özgür; Master Student; Researcher; Koç University Surface Science and Technology Center (KUYTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Yüzey Teknolojileri Araştırmaları Merkezi (KUYTAM); N/A; N/A; N/AThe chirality-selective synthesis of relatively large (diameter > 1 nm) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is of great interest for a variety of practical applications, but only a few catalysts are available so far. Previous studies suggested that S (compounds) can enhance the chirality-selectivity of Co catalysts in SWCNT synthesis, however, the mechanism behind is not fully understood, and no tailorable methodology has yet been developed. Here, we demonstrate a facile approach to achieve the chirality-selective synthesis of SWCNTs by the sulfidation-based poisoning of silica-supported Co catalysts using a mixture of H2S and H2. The UV-vis-NIR, photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy results together show that the resulting SWCNTs have a narrow diameter distribution of around 1.2 nm, and (9,8) nanotubes have an abundance of ∼38% among the semiconducting species. More importantly, the carbon yield achieved by the sulfided catalyst (2.5 wt%) is similar to that of the nonsulfided one (2.7 wt%). The characterization of the catalysts by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and H2 temperature-programmed reduction shows that the sulfidation leads to the formation of Co9S8 nanoparticles. However, Co9S8 nanoparticles are reduced back to regenerate metallic Co nanoparticles during the synthesis of SWCNTs, which maintain a high carbon yield. In this process, Co9S8 nanoparticles seemingly intermediate the production of Co nanoparticles with narrow size distribution. Due to the fact that the poisoning step improves the quality of the end-product rather than hampering the growth process, we have coined the process developed as “smart poisoning”. This study not only reveals the mechanism behind the beneficial role of S in the selective synthesis of relatively large SWCNTs but also presents a promising method to create chirality-selective catalysts with high activity for scalable synthesis.Publication Metadata only ‘Culture’ in EU–Turkey relations(Taylor and Francis, 2016) Department of International Relations; N/A; Rumelili, Bahar; İşler, Didem Çakmaklı; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51356; 260783Contemporary socio-political and economic situations in the countries of SEE greatly influence their mutual relationships which are already bearing heavy loads from the past as well as distinct visions of the future. Politicians are forced to change their own priorities, sometimes even decisions, to fit the daily demands of their coalition partners or the expectations of public opinion which are often influenced by populist officials and media. The government and majority representatives condemning crimes committed in Srebrenica approved the decision of the European Parliament. Yugoslav cultural diplomacy was tuned equally toward West and East and also toward countries of the third world. All Balkan countries are open to global cultural flows but, paradoxically, their institutional systems are still closed towards the products of mass culture of neighbouring countries, particularly in the case of ethno-pop or folk music. International dimensions of national cultural policies of the Balkans primarily focus on transferring knowledge, improving the national image and increasing national influence.Publication Metadata only 1200 nm pumped Tm3+:Lu2O3 ceramic lasers(Optical Soc Amer, 2018) Özharar, Sarper; N/A; Department of Physics; Toker, Işınsu Baylam; Sennaroğlu, Alphan; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; N/A; College of Sciences; N/A; 23851We report on an experimental demonstration of a 1200-nm pumped Tm3+:Lu2O3 ceramic laser. By using a gain-switched, tunable Cr4+:forsterite laser, the excitation spectrum was measured, with optimum pumping bands centered near 1198 nm, 1204 nm, and 1211 nm. The highest slope efficiency of 21.5% was obtained at the pump wavelength of 1204 nm. Comparative energy efficiency measurements performed near 1200-nm and 800-nm pumping further showed that nearly 40% improvement was obtained in slope efficiency measured with respect to the incident pump energy for 1200-nm pumping. A transition was further observed from single-wavelength operation at 2066 nm to dual-wavelength operation near 2066 nm and 1967 nm for absorbed pump energies above 50 mu J. In this regime, two consecutive output pulses were observed in the time domain. The shortest temporal duration of the first pulse was 1.1 mu s at the incident pulse energy of 105 mu J. The duration and build-up time of the second pulse remained around 5.9 mu s and 18.5 mu s. We believe that the improved energy efficiency demonstrated for the 1.5% Tm3+:Lu2O3 ceramic with 1200-nm pumping can be used as an alternative scheme for the excitation of Tm3+:Lu2O3 ceramic lasers.Publication Metadata only 16.4: the optics of an autostereoscopic multiview display(SID, 2010) Baghsiahi, Hadi; Selviah, David R.; Willman, Eero; Fernández, Anibal; Day, Sally E.; Surman, Phil A.; N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Erden, Erdem; Chellappan, Kishore Velichappattu; Ürey, Hakan; Master Student; Researcher; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; 8579An autostereoscopic head-tracked back projection display that uses an RGB laser illumination source and a fast light engine is described. Images are horizontally scanned columns controlled by a spatial light modulator that directs two or more images in the directions of the apposite viewers 'eyes.Publication Metadata only 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in a patient with a rare diagnosis of sarcomatoid malignant peritoneal mesothelioina(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013) Tokmak, Handan; Demirkol, Onur M.; Kaban, Kerim; N/A; Mandel, Nil Molinas; Dilege, Şükrü; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; School of Medicine; 194197; 122573Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is an uncommon but deadly disease arising from serosal surfaces of the peritoneum. Asbestos exposure is the most recognized risk factor. We report a case of diffuse, sarcomatoid malignant peritoneal mesothelioma who presented to the hospital with abdominal pain. The patient had an abdominal MRI scan as initial scanning which demonstrated nonspecific findings suspected of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The patient was admitted to our department for the metabolic characterization of the lesions with F-18-FDG PET/CT imaging and the diagnosis of the primary malignancy. F-18-FDG PET/CT imaging revealed diffusely increased metabolic activity throughout the peritoneum and the histopathological features were compatible with sarcomatoid malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.Publication Metadata only 18F-FDG PET/CT mean suv and metabolic tumor volume for mean survival time in non-small cell lung cancer(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2015) Kurtipek, Ercan; Çaycı, Mustafa; Düzgün, Nuri; Esme, Hıdır; Terzi, Yüksel; Bakdık, Süleyman; Ünlü, Yaşar; Burnik, Cengiz; Bekçi, Taha Tahir; N/A; Aygün, Murat Serhat; Teaching Faculty; School of Medicine; Koç University Hospital; 291692Objective: The study was designed to determine the relationship between survival time of standardized uptake value (SUVmax and SUVmean) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and examine the impact of demographic, clinical, and radiological data of these patients on survival. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the records of 79 patients with NSCLC who presented to our hospital between May 2010 and March 2013, received a final diagnosis, and underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging. Clinical, radiological, and 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters with an impact on prognosis such as the SUVmax of the primary tumor as calculated by the volumetric region of interest in the 18F-FDG PET/CT scans during initial diagnosis, mean SUV of the tumor, and MTV obtained with a threshold of SUVmax greater than 2.5 were recorded and statistically analyzed. A statistical analysis was carried out based on the clinical, radiological, and PET/CT findings of the patients who were divided into 2 groups: survivors and nonsurvivors. Results: Seventy patients (88.6%) were men, and 9 (11.4%) were women. The mean age was 63.65 ± 11.51 years in the nonsurvivor group (n = 40) versus 62.74 ± 10.60 years in the survivor group (n = 39) (Table 1). The mean survival time from diagnosis was 7.9 ± 6.52 months in the nonsurvivor group versus 14.09 ± 7.41 months in the survivor group. The mean survival time was 12.9 ± 7.9 months for those aged 60 or younger, whereas it was 9.9 ± 7.2 years for those aged 60 or older. According to the Cox regression analysis, higher MTV [relative risk (RR), 1.006; P = 0.03] and mean SUVmax (mSUV) (RR, 1.302; P = 0.03) had a significant impact on shortening of the mean survival time. However, no statistical significance was reached for SUVmax measurements (RR, 0.970; P = 0.39). Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between increased tumor size (andlt;2 cm, 2-4 cm, and ≥4 cm) and shortened mean survival time (P = 0.03). Conclusion: The present study showed that MTV and mSUV of FDG PET/CT scans of the tumor, but not SUVmax, had a significant impact on survival time of patients with NSCLC. Based on this result, we believe that we might have more accurate information about the survival time of our patients if we also evaluate mSUV and MTV in combination with mSUV, which is frequently used for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with NSCLC during our daily practice. © 2015 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Music took an important position in the Ottoman Court, both in education and performance practices. The Sultans were raised with a music culture. In the Ottoman Empire, music was a part of life not only in the Court but also in the Military (as in the case of janissary music); therefore a reorganization in music was encountered both in the Court and the Military. During 19th century, Ottoman Empire encountered a “Westernization process” in music (as well as in other areas). With the enterance of polyphonic western music into the Ottoman Court, beginning with Selim III, but mainly during the period of Mahmud II, a great reconstruction in the Ottoman music begins. The reformations of Mahmud II, which were the first movements of polyphony in Turkey, were a break point in the Turkish music history. In this research, the enterance and development of Western music in the Ottoman Empire is discussed based on the music politics of each Sultan in rule, chronogically. / Türk müziği, yüzyıllar boyunca, batı müziği sisteminden farklı olarak tek sesli ve kendi makam ve usulleri çerçevesinde gelişme göstermiştir. Osmanlı saraylarında müzik, gerek eğitimi gerek icrası açısından çoğunlukla büyük önem taşımış, sultanlar müzik kültürüyle iç içe büyümüşlerdir. Osmanlı’da müzik sadece sarayda değil, askeri alanda da yoğun olarak kullanılmış, dolayısıyla müziğin gelişimi saray müziğinin yanısıra bu boyutta da ağırlıklı olarak etkilenmiştir. 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda müzikte (ve diğer alanlarda) batılılaşma eğilimi görülmektedir. Çok sesli batı müziğinin III. Selim zamanından başlayarak ve esas olarak II. Mahmud’la birlikte Osmanlı sarayına girmesiyle Osmanlı müziğinde büyük bir yeniden yapılanma başlar. II. Mahmud’un reformlarının Türk müziğinde bir dönüm noktası oluşturmasıyla ortaya çıkan hareket Türkiye’deki çok sesliliğin ilk adımlarıdır. Bu araştırmada, batı müziğinin Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na girişi ve gelişimi süreci, II. Mahmud’dan itibaren 19. yüzyıl boyunca hükümdar olan her padişahın müzik politikaları bağlamında kronolojik sırasıyla ele alınmıştır.Publication Metadata only 2.3-μm Tm3+: YLF laser passively Q-switched with a Cr2+: ZnSe saturable absorber(Optical Soc Amer, 2017) N/A; N/A; Canbaz, Ferda; Yorulmaz, İsmail; Sennaroğlu, Alphan; PhD Student; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Koç University Surface Science and Technology Center (KUYTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Yüzey Teknolojileri Araştırmaları Merkezi (KUYTAM); Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; N/A; N/A; 23851We report, what is to our knowledge, the first passively Q-switched operation of a 2.3-mu m Tm3+ : YLF laser by using a Cr2+ : ZnSe saturable absorber. In the experiments, a tunable Ti3+ : sapphire laser was used to end pump the Tm3+ : YLF gain medium inside an x cavity. A Cr2+ : ZnSe saturable absorber was also included in the cavity to initiate passive Q switching. At all pump power levels above lasing threshold, passively Q-switched operation of the Tm3+ : YLF laser could be obtained at 2309 nm with pulse durations and repetition frequencies in the ranges of 1.21.4 mu s and 0.3-2.1 kHz, respectively. Analysis of power dependent repetition rate data further gave an estimated value of 3.1% for the round-trip saturable loss of the Cr2+ : ZnSe saturable absorber.Publication Metadata only 21 fs Cr:LiSAF laser mode locked with a single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber(Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Bae, Ji Eun; Rotermund, Fabian; Demirbaş, Ümit; N/A; N/A; N/A; Department of Physics; Tanısalı, Gökhan; Toker, Işınsu Baylam; Taşçı, Mısra; Sennaroğlu, Alphan; PhD Student; PhD Student; Undergraduate Student; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; Koç University Surface Science and Technology Center (KUYTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Yüzey Teknolojileri Araştırmaları Merkezi (KUYTAM); Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; School of Medicine; College of Sciences; N/A; N/A; N/A; 23851We report the shortest femtosecond pulses directly generated from a solid-state laser that is mode locked by using a single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). In the experiments, we used a 660 nm diode-pumped, low-threshold extended-cavity Cr:LiSAF laser operating around 850 nm with a repetition rate of 47.9 MHz. The SWCNT-SA mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser produced 21 fs pulses with a time-bandwidth product of 0.56 by using only 210 mW of pump power. Pump-probe spectroscopy measurements showed that the SWCNT-SA exhibited saturable absorption with slow and fast decay times of 2.7 ps and 0.4 ps. The single-pass modulation depth and saturation fluence of the SWCNT-SA were further determined as 0.3% and 45 mu J/cm(2) at the pump wavelength of 850 nm.
