Article Adaptation of the Student Expectations of Online Learning Survey Revised (seols-R) Into Turkish(Karadeniz Technical University, 2020) Dağhan, G.; Akkoyunlu, B.; Arslan, Ö.The aim of this study is to adapt the Student Expectations of Online Learning Survey Revised [SEOLS-R] developed by Harris, Larrier and Castano-Bishop (2011) into Turkish. For this purpose, the adaptation process of the scale, which consists of 7 factors and 43 items in the 5-point Likert structure, started first with the necessary permissions, and then a translation and cultural adaptation process was carried out. After the cultural adaptation process, the construct validity of the scale was tested with 411 students who study in distance education programs of Amasya University. After the construct validity findings, the reliability values of the scale were examined. In line with the findings, it was concluded that the Turkish version of the SEOLS-R scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool suitable for Turkish culture. © 2020 Karadeniz Technical University.

Fixed-weight (FW) linear combination is derived and used for comparison with ADF. Wind speeds and turbulence intensities are predicted from the existing wind speed data and computed turbulence intensities, respectively, using the ADF and FW methods. Simulations are carried out for each season and the results are tested on mean absolute percentage error criterion. It is shown that the proposed model captured the system dynamic behavior and made accurate predictions based on the seasonal wind speed characteristics of the site. The procedure described here can be used to estimate the local velocity and turbulence intensity in a wind power plant during a storm.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5An Algebraic Stability Test for Fractional Order Time Delay Systems(Ramazan Yaman, 2020) Baleanu, Dumitru; Ozyetkin, Munevver MineIn this study, an algebraic stability test procedure is presented for fractionalorder time delay systems. This method is based on the principle of eliminatingtime delay. The stability test of fractional order systems cannot be examineddirectly using classical methods such as Routh-Hurwitz, because such systemsdo not have analytical solutions. When a system contains the square roots ofs, it is seen that there is a double value function of s. In this study, a stabilitytest procedure is applied to systems including ps and/or different fractionaldegrees such as s where 0 < α < 1, and αǫR. For this purpose, the integerorder equivalents of fractional order terms are first used and then the stabilitytest is applied to the system by eliminating time delay. Thanks to the proposedmethod , it is not necessary to use approximations instead of time delay termsuch as Pad´e. Thus, the stability test procedure does not require the solutionof higher order equations.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Analysis of Heat Transfer Enhancement in Tubes With Capsule Dimpled Surfaces and Al2o3-Water Nanofluid(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2022) Ibrahim, Mahmoud Awni A. Haj; Turkoglu, Hasmet; Yapici, Ekin OzgirginThis study aims to numerically investigate and evaluate the enhancement of heat transfer by new capsule dimples on tube surfaces for flow of water and Al2O3-water nanofluid with different concentrations, under uniform surface heat flux. The originality of this work lies in combining two passive heat transfer enhancement methods such as geometrical improvements and nanofluids together. Capsule dimples with different depths were considered. Al2O3- water nanofluid was modeled as a single-phase flow based on the mixture properties. The effects of dimple depth and nanoparticle concentrations on Nusselt number, friction factor and performance evaluation criteria (PEC) were studied. Numerical computations were performed using ANSYS Fluent commercial software for 2000-14000 Reynolds number range. It was found that when laminar, transient and fully developed turbulent flow cases are considered, increase in the dimple depth increases the Nusselt number and friction factor for both pure water and Al2O3-water nanofluids cases. Also, the friction factor increases as dimple depth increases. Results show that increase in PEC is more pronounced in the laminar region than in the transition region, it starts to decrease for turbulent flows. For nanofluid, PEC values are considerably higher than pure water cases. The variation of PEC for capsule dimpled tubes are dependent on flow regimes and dimple depths. Increasing the nano particle volume concentration and dimple depth in laminar flows increase the PEC significantly.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Analysis of Mixed-Order Caputo Fractional System With Nonlocal Integral Boundary Condition(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2018) Khodabakhshi, Neda; Baleanu, Dumitru; Akman Yildiz, TugbaThis paper deals with a mixed-order Caputo fractional system with nonlocal integral boundary conditions. This study can be considered as an extension of previous studies, since the orders of the equations lie on different intervals. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of the solution using fixed point methods. We enrich the study with an example.Article Architectural Design - Structural System Conformity Problems Encountered in the Design and Application Processes of Stick Aluminium Curtain Wall Systems in Turkey(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2022) Ozmen, Cengiz; Saban, MugeStick aluminium curtain wall (SACW) systems are common curtain wall systems in Turkey. These sytems offer many advantages including architectural variation, modular design, ease of production and assembly. Beside their architectural properties SACW systems create significant load effects on structural systems. These load effects include lateral loads such as seismic and wind loads as well as static vertical loads. This load transfer is not one way. The vertical and lateral displacements of building structures also act on curtain walls. Healthy load transfer between the SACW and the building depends on architectural decisions during the design and construction process. Due to their wide use SACW systems are prone to architectural mistakes. These mistakes often represent themselves at latter stages of the construction and require solutions which will affect the architectural characteristics and structural behavior of buildings. This study focuses on SACW design and construction processes to find the effects of architectural decisions on curtain wall behavior. Case studies that include architectural design mistakes are selected to classify and study the reasons and the solutions of these mistakes. The importance of cooperation between all the stakeholders including the architects and engineers is emphasized for the prevention of these mistakes.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 19Artificial Intelligence Applications in Earthquake Resistant Architectural Design: Determination of Irregular Structural Systems With Deep Learning and Imageai Method(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2020) Bingol, Kaan; Akan, Asli Er; Ormecioglu, Hilal Tugba; Er, ArzuAlthough the architectural design process is carried out with the collaboration of experts who are experienced in many different areas from the main preferences to the detailing stage, the major decisions such as plan organization, mass design etc. are taken by the architect. Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs are generally effective after the major decisions of the design are taken. For this reason, it is common for the main decisions, taken during the design process, to be changed during the analysis of the structural system. In order to prevent this, in the early stages of architectural design, earthquake system awareness and structural system design should be included as an design input; as, the failure of the structural system which did not considered well in the architectural design phase leads to unexpected revisions in the implementation project phase and thus leads to serious losses in both time and cost. The aim of this study is to create an Irregularity Control Assistant (IC Assitant) that can provide architects general information about the appropriateness of structural system decisions to earthquake regulations in the early stages of design process by using the deep learning and image processing methods. In this way, correct decisions will be made in the early stages of the design and unexpected revisions that may occur during the implementation project phase will be prevented.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Barış Eğitimi: Evrimleşmiş bir Şiddetsizlik Bilinci için Eğitim(Center Foreign Policy & Peace Research, 2016) Yemenici, AlevBu makale beyin temelli ön bir barış eğitimi modeli sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Benzer şekilde, sınıf ortamlarında da diğer dil bileşenleri ve becerileri ile karşılaştırıldığında başarılı bir iletişim için daha arka planda olduğuna inanıldığı için telaffuz öğretimine daha az ilgi gösterilmektedir. Bununla birlikte son zamanlarda telaffuz araştırmalarına olan ilginin artmakta olduğu da gözlenmektedir. Yabancı dil öğretimi ile ilgili alan yazında sınıf içi aktivitelerin etkili dil öğrenimi için, özellikle de kelime kazanımı için yeterli olmadığı, sınıf dışında da alıştırma ve uygulama çalışmaları yapılması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu telaffuz öğrenimi için de geçerlidir. Sınıf içinde yapılan öğretim tek başına öğrencilerin konuşma yeteneğini çok az geliştirebilmektedir. Cep telefonlarının sahip olduğu ulaşılabilirlik, kişiselleştirilebilirlik ve taşınabilirlik gibi kendine özgü nitelikler, sınıf dışında yapılması gereken alıştırma ve uygulama çalışmalarının gerçekleştirilmesinde büyük bir potansiyele sahiptir ve birçok yarar sağlayabilir. Örneğin, öğrencilerin/kullanıcıların ders çalışmaya başlamalarını zorlaştıran motivasyon ile ilgili problemlerin ortadan kaldırılmasında cep telefonlarının çoklu ortam veya kısa mesaj özelliği kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada, öğrencilere çoklu ortam mesajları ile alıştırma ve uygulama materyalleri gönderilerek çalışmaya teşvik edilmektedirler. Bu sayede öğrenciler ders notu ya da ders kitabını açmadan, herhangi bir web sitesine bağlanmadan ya da bilgisayar karşısına geçmeden, özel bir öğretim yazılımı kullanmadan yer ve zamandan bağımsız olarak konu tekrarı, alıştırma ve uygulama yapabilmektedirler. Böylece, birçok öğrenci için aşması zor olan ders çalışmaya başlama motivasyonu dış kaynaktan gelen bir itici uyaran aracılığıyla aşılmaktadır. Yukarıda bahsedilen potansiyelleri kullanarak dil öğreniminde cep telefonlarının kullanımını araştıran çok az sayıda çalışma vardır. Aynı zamanda öğrencilerin telaffuzlarının geliştirilmesinde cep telefonlarının kullanılması üzerine yapılan araştırmalar yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu çalışma bu eksikliği gidererek alan yazına anlamlı katkılar sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırmanın Amacı: Bu çalışmanın temel amacı cep telefonu teknolojisini kullanarak eğitim ve öğretim süreçlerinin etkin ve verimli hale getirilmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile İngilizce eğitiminde, cep telefonlarının kullanımı ile ilgili potansiyelleri ortaya çıkarmak ve özellikle cep telefonlarının telaffuz öğrenimine olan etkilerinin araştırması hedeflenmektedir. Araştırmanın Yöntemi: Bu araştırmada nitel veriler, nicel verilerle elde edilen bulguları desteklemede kullanılmıştır. Toplanan nitel ve nicel veriler hibrit yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Nicel veriler ANOVA analizine tabi tutulmuş; nitel verilen analizinde ise örüntü analizi işe koşulmuştur. Araştırmanın nicel kısmında ön-test/son-test yarı-deneysel tasarım deseni kullanılmıştır. Nitel kısmında ise araştırma sonunda öğrencilerle yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmış ve açık uçlu soruların yer aldığı değerlendirme anketi uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları Ankara’da bulunan bir üniversitemizin İngilizce hazırlık okulundaki öğrencilerdir. Cep telefonlarının etkinliğini araştırmak için aynı içeriğin cep telefonu yoluyla, web sayfası üzerinden ve çalışma notları dağıtılması ile işlenmesinin kelimelerin doğru telaffuzlarının öğrenilmesinde etkililiği karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın Bulguları: Nicel verilerin analiz sonuçları cep telefonu kullanımının telaffuz öğreniminde olumlu etkileri olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada kullanılan üç farklı yöntem ile telaffuz öğrenimleri desteklenen cep telefonu, web sayfası ve çalışma notları gruplarının sontest ile ön-test arasındaki farklarının ortalamaları diğer bir ifadeyle telaffuz kazanımları sırasıyla şu şekildedir: 11.94, 6.81 ve 6.81. Bu sonuçlara göre cep telefonu grubundaki öğrencilerin telaffuz testi ile ölçülen telaffuz kazanımları diğer gruplara göre daha yüksektir. Varyans analizi (one-way ANOVA) testi analiz sonuçları da cep telefonu ve kontrol gruplarının telaffuz kazanımları arasındaki farkın istasistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğunu göstermektedir (F (2, 21) = 5.000, p = .017). Bu anlamlı farkın hangi gruplar arasında olduğunu anlamak için Tukey HSD testi kullanılarak Post hoc karşılaştırmalar yapılmış ve bu test sonucunda cep telefonu grubu öğrencilerinin telaffuz kazanımlarının diğer iki gruptaki öğrencilerin kazanımlarından anlamlı olarak farklı olduğu (p=.032) ortaya çıkmıştır. Diğer taraftan web sayfası ve çalışma notu gruplarındaki öğrencilerin birebir aynı sayıda kelimenin telaffuzlarını öğrendikleri ortaya çıkmıştır (p=1.000). Özet olarak, bu sonuçlar cep telefonu üzerinden öğrencilere gönderilen ek materyallerin telaffuz kazanımı için daha etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Görüşmelerde ve açık uçlu anket sorularına verilen cevaplar bu sonucu desteklemektedir. Bütün katılımcılar kullanılan cep telefonu uygulaması hakkında olumlu geri bildirimler vermişlerdir. Örneğin bir öğrenci bu uygulamanın faydaları ile ilgili görüşlerinin istendiği soruya şu şekilde cevap vermiştir: “Sesli boyut kelimelerin telaffuzunu düzgün öğrenmemizi sağlıyor. Görsel efektlerle desteklendiği için daha kalıcı olabiliyor” Benzer bir cevap olarak başka bir öğrenci de“Telaffuzları kolay bir şekilde öğrenebildim. MMS şeklinde yollanması sayesinde görsel ve işitsel olarak gördüğümüz kelimelerin telaffuzları daha hafızada kalıcı oldu.” ifadelerini kullanmıştır. Araştırmanın Sonuçları ve Önerileri: Cep telefonları genç nüfus için teknolojik aygıtlar arasında en popüler olanıdır ve çoğu kişinin yaşamında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu çalışmada temel hedeflerden bir tanesi genç nüfus tarafından cep telefonlarına gösterilen büyük ilgiden faydalanarak, ülkemizde bu teknolojinin eğitimde kullanımının önünü açmaktır. BuArticle Citation - Scopus: 41Characterization of Loose Powder Sintered Porous Titanium and Ti6al4v Alloy(2009) Bor, Şakir; Esen, Ziya; Bor, Elif TarhanPorous titanium and Ti6Al4V alloy, biomedical candidate materials for use in orthopedic and dental implants, were manufactured by sintering the powders at various temperatures in loose condition. The characteristics of the corresponding powders and utilized sintering temperatures limited the final porosities in the range 30-37.5 vol. %. Similar to wrought alloys, compression stress-strain curves of porous samples exhibited 3 distinct deformation regions containing an elastic region, subsequent to yielding strain hardening region up to a peak stress and fast fracture after small straining. The mechanical properties of porous samples of both types were observed to obey minimum solid area (MSA) models in which the bond regions between particles perpendicular to loading direction are assumed to dominate in transmission of stress. A linear relation was obtained between yield strength and square of neck size ratio, (X/D)2, where X and D represent the average neck and particle diameters, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Classification of Low Probability of Intercept Radar Waveforms Using Gabor Wavelets(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2021) Ergezer, HalitLow Probability of Intercept (LPI Radar) is a class of radar with specific technical characteristics that make it very difficult to intercept with electronic support systems and radar warning receivers. Because of their properties as low power, variable frequency, wide bandwidth, LPI radar waveforms are difficult to intercept by ESM systems. In recent years, studies on the classification of waveforms used by these types of radar have been accelerated. In this study, Time-Frequency Images (TFI) has been obtained from the LPI radars waveforms by using Choi-Williams Distribution method. From these images, feature vectors have been generated using Gabor Wavelet transform. In contrast to many methods in the literature, waveform classification has been performed by directly comparing the feature vectors obtained without using any machine learning method. With the method we propose, classification accuracies were obtained at intervals of 2 dB between -20 dB and 10 dB and performed at reasonable classification accuracy rates up to -8 dB SNR value. Better results than the best reported in the literature were obtained for some signal types. The results obtained for all waveform types are given in comparison with the results of the existing methods in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 20Common Fixed Point Theorems in Cone Banach Spaces(Hacettepe Univ, Fac Sci, 2011) Abdeljawad, Thabet; Tas, Kenan; Karapınar, ErdalRecently, E. Karapınar (Fixed Point Theorems in Cone Banach Spaces, Fixed Point Theory Applications, Article ID 609281, 9 pages, 2009) presented some fixed point theorems for self-mappings satisfying certain contraction principles on a cone Banach space. Here we will give some generalizations of this theorem.Article A Comparative Research on Space of Women in Prayer Place Interiors of Celestial Religions: Cases From Istanbul(Gazi Univ, 2020) Disli, Gulsen; Ozcan, ZuhalCross-cultural comparison has been used in architecture mostly to discuss the components of culture, knowledge, and value systems, yet to date there is not a specific comparative study on gendered architecture in prayer places of celestial religions, namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Hence, this study aims to reveal how attendance of women in prayer places with different national, historic, religious, and cultural characteristics shaped architectural space organization and to assess potential similarities and differences of women's section in prayer spaces of celestial religions by examining literature survey, archival and historic research, including field observations. In addition to general observations in building scale, some exemplary historic synagogues, churches, and mosques in Istanbul still in use have been chosen as case studies, and their plan typologies, as well as types and locations of women's galleries/sections have been discussed. Cross-cultural comparison parameters were; development of women's section in prayer places as a structured architectural space and basic architectural terminologies used to define women's section. The major conclusion of the study is that originally women had right to worship in prayer spaces without any physical separation in all three religions, yet in time the place of women had a more defined/divided/structured character especially in Islam and Judaism. The study also indicates that while at present day, gendered architecture is still the predominant approach in Islam and in Orthodox Judaism; mix congregation in a single-unsegregated space for both sexes is more common in contemporary society of Christianity.Article Citation - Scopus: 6The Comparison of Performance of Electrolytic Cu and Cube Tool Electrodes in Electric Discharge Machining of Ti6al4v Alloy(TUBITAK, 2021) Bozkurt, F.; Özerkan, H.B.; Çoğun, C.; Uslan, İ.; Urtekin, L.The most crucial cost element of Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is the production of tool electrode (shortly electrode). Copper, its alloys, and graphite are the most commonly used electrode materials. Selecting the proper electrode material with low production and material cost, high workpiece material removal rate (MRR) and low tool electrode wear rate (TWR) is key to reducing machining costs with EDM. In this study, the EDM performance of CuBe tool electrodes in the machining of Ti6Al4V alloy was experimentally investigated in comparison to electrolytic Cu (E-Cu) electrodes for different pulse time (ts) and discharge current (I) settings. An increase in MRR and a decrease in TWR and relative wear (RW=TWR/MRR) were observed in machining with CuBe electrodes. However, the high raw material cost of CuBe alloy is an essential drawback in widely using these electrodes in industrial applications. A new performance index formulation is introduced for EDM applications that factor in the production cost of the electrode and its life (i.e., RW). According to our results, the CuBe could be used advantageously as the electrode material at medium current settings. However, at low and high current settings, the low raw material cost of E-Cu makes it more favorable. © 2021, TUBITAK.

Not so long ago, the accepted practice was to createimpermeable exterior walls by using moisture-proof and vapour-prooflayers in their sectional compositions. However, any failure, such as tinycracks in any one of these impermeable layers, causes accumulation ofentrapped moisture which could not escape by evaporation from the wallsurface (Hughes, 1986; Massari and Massari, 1993; Richardson, 2001). Thisresults in a decrease in the lifetime of building materials, visible defects onwall surfaces, such as discoloration, cracking, scaling and flaking on finishcoats, and unhealthy interiors (Bochen et al., 2005). The concept of the"breathing wall", therefore, gained importance in the last few decades andexternal wall compositions, allowing the passage of water vapour back andforth through it, were started to be constructed.Along with this, energy efficient buildings and improvement ofconstruction technology in this regard became a current issue incontemporary buildings. In addition to installing more efficient fuelburningequipment, the use of both thermal insulation layers andlightweight porous masonry blocks and/or panels for its walls proper,should be incorporated within the compositions of the building envelope.However, due to their high water absorption characteristics, light-weightporous masonry needs to be protected from rainwater by means ofwatertight protective coatings and/or by water repellents (Andolsun et al.2006; Kuş, 2004). For these reasons, the exterior finishing systems consistingof under- and finish-coats, having low water permeability but high watervapour permeability properties are necessary.The matter which has not yet been foreseen, even overlooked, for multilayerconstructions is "compatibility with neighbouring materials". Thecompatibility of finishing/complementing layers with the porous masonry, in fact, has vital importance for contributing to the long-term durabilityand thermal performance of masonry wall structures. However, thebasic performance and compatibility properties of those layers, such aswater vapour permeability, water impermeability, thermal resistance,dilatation, modulus of elasticity characteristics, are as yet not well known.Comprehensive studies are, therefore, needed to derive this informationso that the performance expected of such systems in providing healthyinteriors can be improved.Materials are considered to be compatible with each other if theyhave similar characteristics in terms of some physical, mechanical andcompositional properties (Sasse and Snethlage, 1997; Fassina et al., 2002;Andolsun et al., 2005, 2006; Karoglou et al., 2007). The two importantparameters of compatibility are water vapour permeability and modulus ofelasticity (MoE):-o What is required of the finish coat is to permit water vapourtransmission while resisting droplet penetration from rain or surfacewash; in other words, being essentially watertight (Kuş, 2004;Harderup, 1996; Cerny, et al., 1996). It is also necessary to ensurecontinuity in this vapour transmission property throughout allthe layers making up the wall section in order to avoid interstitialcondensation.o The compatibility assessment of a layer with its neighbouring layers interms of MoE is still under discussion. The MoE is defined as the ratioof stress to strain and indicates the deformation ability of a materialunder external forces (Timoshenko, 1970). According to studiesdiscussing this subject, the MoE of coating layers should not exceedthat of the underlying masonry (Caner, 2003; Fabbri and Grossi, 2000;Kovler and Frostig, 1998; Sasse and Sneathlage, 1997). This means that,any compatible layer should be expected to have MoE not higher thanthat of the base material which is in contact so as to prevent mechanicaldamage in any of the weaker intermediate layer(s). If not so done,failures-especially in the form of tiny cracks-are liable to develop onthe fine coat and/or on sub-layers, which is often followed by flakingand scaling.Here, a number of proprietary exterior finish coats produced in Turkeywere examined in order to determine their compatibility for insulatedmasonry walls with an emphasis on their water vapour permeability andmodulus of elasticity characteristics (Örs, 2006) (1). It was expected toreveal not only their individual material properties, but also to developawareness in architects, builders and manufacturers about the significanceof compatibility in attaining an integrated building envelope.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 26Completion of Cone Metric Spaces(Hacettepe Univ, Fac Sci, 2010) Abdeljawad, ThabetIn this paper a completion theorem for cone metric spaces and a com- pletion theorem for cone normed spaces are proved.
