Publication Metadata only “And in the soup kitchen food shall be cooked twice every day”: gustatory aspects of Ottoman mosque complexes(Taylor and Francis, 2016) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and HumanitiesN/APublication 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 ‘Culture’ in EU–Turkey relations(Ashgate Publishing Ltd, 2011) Department of International Relations; 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.

While social ecology, spearheaded by Murray Bookchin, stresses the tangle of ecological and socio-political issues and advocates for a transformative viewpoint in both spheres, new materialism destabilizes the nature/culture dichotomy by reading the production of matter and meaning as co-extensive praxes and by defining phenomena, in Karen Barad’s terms, as the “ontological inseparability of intra-acting agencies.” Ergin reads social ecology and new materialism, respectively, in relation to deconstruction to tease out the different models of entanglement in each school of thought and to elucidate what is at stake in the motif of entanglement. She rethinks these three strands of thought vis-à-vis each other to capture some of the breadth and variety in reconceptualizations of natural-social and material-discursive entanglements.Publication Metadata only 1.07 - Rubberlike elasticity(Elsevier, 2012) Mark, J.E.; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Erman, Burak; Faculty Member; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; College of Engineering; 179997Molecular structure, molecular and phenomenological theories, and computer simulations of amorphous rubberlike polymeric networks of rubber elasticity are discussed. Behavior of responsive gels, multimodal, liquid-crystalline, and reinforced elastomers in the state of thermodynamic equilibrium are outlined. Characterization of structure and properties based on stress–strain experiments, optical and spectroscopic techniques, scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, small-angle and Brillouin scattering, and pulse wave propagation are outlined. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

These include software tools for 3D video compression and streaming, 3D video players, and their interfaces. Other types of tools widely used in research studies and development of new networking solutions, such as network simulators, emulators, testbeds, and network analysis tools are also covered. In addition, several 3D video evaluation tools, which have been specifically designed for testing and evaluation of 3D video sequences subject to network impairments, are further described. The chapter also presents several examples of recent works that have been carried out based on one or more simulation, emulation, test, and/or evaluation tools in research studies or innovative solutions for relevant problems affecting 3D multimedia delivery.Publication Metadata only A finite-volume front-tracking method for computations of multiphase flows in complex geometries(Frontiers, 2005) N/A; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Muradoğlu, Metin; Faculty Member; Department of Mechanical Engineering; College of Engineering; 46561A finite-volume/front-tracking (FV/FT) method is developed for computations of multiphase flows in complex geometries. The front-tracking methodology is combined with a dual time-stepping based FV method. The interface between phases is represented by connected Lagrangian marker points. An efficient algorithm is developed to keep track of the marker points in curvilinear grids. The method is implemented to solve two-dimensional (plane or axisymmetric) dispersed multiphase flows and is validated for the motion of buoyancy-driven drops in a periodically constricted tube with cases where drop breakup occurs.Publication Metadata only A look into the future: how digital tools may advance language development(Taylor and Francis, 2020) Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Küntay, Aylin C.; Göksun, Tilbe; Oranç, Cansu; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Researcher; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 178879; 47278; N/AN/APublication Open Access 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/AUnmanned 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.
