Publication Metadata only Circulating iPad: Koç University Suna Kıraç Library(Üniversite ve Araştırma Kütüphanecileri Derneği (ÜNAK), 2013) N/A; N/A; Zencir, Mithat Baver; Yeşiltaş, Kamil; Other; Other; Suna Kıraç Library; Suna Kıraç Library; N/A; N/AToday's technology has reached a milestone, that forces library services to go beyond just book lending. With this mind, Suna Kiraç Library has added iPad to its lending list in 2011, which already included technological tools such flash disks, laptops and calculators. While lending this relatively new technological tool, various aspects of loan should be considered and correct policies & procedures need to be established along with the technical infrastructure. This article provides information on defining policies and creating technical infrastructure that will be useful for libraries that plan to offer iPad lending services. In addition, results of the iPad using survey will be shared in this article. Based on the findings, there will be recommendations provided for libraries that setting up an iPad lending Program in the near future.Publication Metadata only Internet of energy harvesting cognitive radios(Springer Nature, 2020) Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; N/A; Akan, Özgür Barış; Çetinkaya, Oktay; Özger, Mustafa; Faculty Member; Researcher; PhD Student; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; 6647; N/A; N/AThe Internet of Things (IoT) offers enhanced connectivity so that any system, being, or process can be reached from anywhere at any time by perpetual surveillance, which results in very large and complex data sets, i.e., Big Data. Despite numerous advantages, IoT technology comes with some unavoidable drawbacks. Considering the number of devices to be added to the current electromagnetic spectrum, it is a fact that wireless communications will severely suffer and eventually become inoperable. Furthermore, as wireless devices are equipped with limited capacity batteries, frequent replenishments and/or maintenance will be needed. However, this is neither practical nor achievable due to the excessive number of devices envisioned by the IoT paradigm. Here, the unification of Energy Harvesting (EH) and Cognitive Radio (CR) stands highly promising to alleviate the current drawbacks, enabling more efficient data generation, acquisition, and analysis. This chapter outlines a new vision, namely Internet of Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radios (IoEH-CRs), to take the IoT-enabled Big Data paradigm a step further. It discusses the basics of the EH-assisted spectrum-aware communications and their implications for the IoT, as well as the challenges posed by the unification of these techniques. An operational framework together with node and network architectures is also presented.
