Book Part Citation - Scopus: 03d Printing and Bioprinting Technologies in Pharmaceutics: Commercial Perspectives and Market Analytics.(CRC Press, 2023) Liu,S.; Liu,Y.; Hu,Q.; Zhang,H.; Park,J.-H.; Dashnyam,K.; Ramalingam,M.Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a fast-emerging applied technology that has had a major impact on healthcare applications, particularly the pharmaceutical field, over the last decades. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), has been used for building a wide range of 3D structures and complex geometries layer by layer through a computer-aided design since the early 1980s [1]. 3D printing widens the manufacturing window, allowing the production of customized medical devices from metals, ceramics, and polymers without the need for molds or machining which was typically used in conventional formative and subtractive manufacturing [1,2]. Since the early 2000s, 3D printing has been successfully applied in pharmaceutics, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine due to its capability for the fabrication of 3D biological constructs with high shape complexity and fidelity [3,4]. 3D printing involving biological substances is called 3D bioprinting, where bioinks, which comprise a choice of biomaterials, cells, drugs, proteins, or growth factors, play a major role in printing desired constructs or devices [5]. 3D bioprinting could transform the future of medicine, that is, the way drugs and complex living tissues are made. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Jose Luis Pedraz Muñoz, Laura Saenz del Burgo Martínez, Gustavo Puras Ochoa, Jon Zarate Sesma; individual chapters, the contributorsBook Part Citation - Scopus: 3Achieving Business Benefits From Erp Systems(IGI Global, 2008) Mishra,A.; Software EngineeringEnterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are becoming popular in medium and large-scale organizations all over the world. As companies have to collaborate across borders, languages, cultures, and integrate business processes, ERPs will need to take globalization into account, be based on a global architecture, and support the features required to bring all the worldwide players and processes together. Due to the high cost of implementation for these systems, organizations all over the world are interested in evaluating their benefits in the short and long terms. This chapter discusses various kinds of business benefits in a comprehensive way in order to justify the acquisition and implementation of ERP systems in organizations in the present global context. © 2008, IGI Global.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 10Acoustic Control of Flow Over Naca 2415 Aerofoil at Low Reynolds Numbers(Springer International Publishing, 2016) Serdar Genç,M.; Karasu,İ.; Hakan Açıkel,H.; Tuğrul Akpolat,M.; Özkan,G.; Airframe and Powerplant MaintenanceWithin the concept of this study, first low Reynolds number flow phenomena, including laminar separation bubble (LSB) and stall were explained. Then a literature review on the acoustic flow control was presented in three categories: flow control with constant frequency, flow control with constant amplitude, and flow control with variable frequency and amplitude. Aside from the review part, results of a comprehensive experimental study on the effects of acoustic flow control at low Reynolds numbers were presented. Within the scope of this experimental study, the effects of both parallel and perpendicular acoustic flow control were examined by means of pressure measurements, force measurements, hot-wire anemometry, flow visualization, and particle image velocimetry (PIV). In order to establish a baseline data, all of the measurements were first applied for the no control case. The effects of acoustic control were examined especially on the characteristics of LSB and stall. It was found that the acoustic excitation can be employed to decrease the height and length of LSB leading to increased lift coefficient and decreased drag coefficient. Also, acoustic flow control increased the angle of stall. It was also seen that the effective excitation frequency increases also, but the range of Zaman number (St/Re0.5) based on effective frequency still is approximately same with increasing Reynolds numbers. Finally, it was shown that the general aerodynamics performance of an aerofoil at low Reynolds numbers can easily be enhanced by employing acoustic flow control, and the parameters of the acoustic flow control can easily be adjusted in order to keep up with the changing conditions of flow. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Adaptive Intelligent Learning System for Online Learning Environments(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2013) Serçe,F.C.; Alpaslan,F.N.; Jain,L.C.; Information Systems EngineeringThe present chapter deals with an Adaptive Intelligent Learning System (AILS) which is designed to be used withany Learning Management System (LMS).

The transfer enabled the graphic novel to be used as popular genre to contribute to the construction of a national identity of Turkishness through icons and heroes of Turkish history going back to Central Asia before moving to Asia Minor (Anatolia). Hence, the evolution of the graphic novel in Turkey goes parallel with the growth of popular culture under the influence of state-led westernisation efforts in the Turkish society. The initiatives towards creating a modern, west-oriented society necessitated the dissemination of culture among layers of society which was producing its dynamics to absorb these efforts within the frame of economic and social developments on a global scale. Steps towards creating a modern Turkish literature and to enrich culture and strengthen a national identity fit in with the adoption of the graphic novel genre in the early years. The translations enabled Turkish artists to develop their own examples in the genre to produce an awareness of national identity and links with history in a creative and easily comprehensible way. The graphic novel as an accessible form of production became a part of the developing cultural polysystem. According to Tynjanov, literature of a nation or culture contains a multi-layered structure of elements which relate to and interact with each other.1 The evolution of the graphic novel in the Turkish polysystem comprised several layers of texts, i.e. visual texts, and verbal texts. It does not hold such a significant role now in the cultural polysystem but has become an influential genre in creating global fantastic icons, norms and images. © Inter-Disciplinary Press 2016.

The used geothermal water can also be used as a source of drinking water, which could reduce the pressure on the current clean water resources. On the other hand, geothermal fluids brought to the surface need to be treated in the most economical way before discharge into the surface environment or aquifer. Several processes have shown promising results for the treatment of geothermal water. Membrane processes such as nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) can be considered as a technology for obtaining good quality irrigation water from geothermal water. This chapter summarizes the application of NF for the recovery and reuse of wastewater and spent geothermal water. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Abdul Wahab Mohammad, Teow Yeit Haan and Nidal Hidal; individual chapters, the contributors.Book Part Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Approximation of Discontinuous Functions by q-bernstein Polynomials(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2016) Ostrovska, Sofia; Ozban, Ahmet Yasar; MathematicsThis chapter presents an overview of the results related to the q-Bernstein polynomials with q > 1 attached to discontinuous functions on [0, 1]. It is emphasized that the singularities of such functions located on the set Jq : = {0} boolean OR {q-l}(l=0, infinity), q > 1 are definitive for the investigation of the convergence properties of their q-Bernstein polynomials.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 0Architectural Competitions in a Maturing Milieu: Mapping the Agency of Actors(Springer, 2023) Bican,N.B.; Guneri,G.; ArchitectureThe last three decades, overwhelmed with capitalist competitive urbanisms, have witnessed a renewal of interest in the relationship between urban form and “the right to just cities,” mainly upon discussions over diversity and participation. The same period also witnessed the triumph of architectural competitions both as effectual tools of agonism and as potential means of cultivating participatory cultures in the production of urban space. Recent discussions, hereof, suggest that competitions’ agonistic vocations counteracted the pluralist. To solidify this critical rhetoric, withal, there is insufficient research on power dynamics, structures, and implications of competitions. Herein, this study, in its broadest sense, investigates the potency of architectural competitions in allocating spatial, social, political, and economic resources and capacities. The work critically and creatively maps the dynamics and structures of competitions and further testifies (potential) agencies of multifarious actors among these, specifically delving into the emergent local governance structures of two cities from a developing country: Istanbul and Ankara. With divergent spatial development histories and trajectories, the two become complementary cases, novel local governance models of which fundamentally operationalize architectural competitions as means of commoning and register a radical paradigm shift. From a critical and comparative framework, the research reviews literature and relevant data and relies on semi-structured interviews with local government officials, city councilors, competition organizers, jurors, and critics. The findings highlight repressive processual components and potential means and methods of cultivating public agency and a solid and longstanding tradition of public participation in urban space production via architectural competitions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 29Architecture of Bone Tissue and Its Adaptation To Pathological Conditions(Elsevier, 2020) Bilgiç,E.; Boyacıoğlu,Ö.; Gizer,M.; Korkusuz,P.; Korkusuz,F.; Basic SciencesBone tissue is a mineralized and viscous-elastic connective tissue, which exerts crucial functions in our body such as support and protection of other tissues and mineral storage. Bone can adapt itself through a remodeling process, which is controlled by its cells, various local and systemic factors. It is a very complicated process composed of both cellular reactions and its effects on the internal structure of the bone. An imbalance between bone resorption and formation due to disease may alter its structure and mechanics. Mechanical properties of bone tissue are affected by different loading grades. Collagen material found in the extracellular matrix gives bone its elasticity. Bone is, nevertheless, a fragile structure depending on the loading and mineral content that also strengthens the bone. In this chapter, the structure of the bone in micro and macro scale, its mechanical properties in physiological circumstances and adaptation to pathological conditions will be discussed. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Cybersecurity practices are conducted in cyberspace, and should be conducted both under the limitations and with the opportunities of this complex environment. Dynamic, totalistic, and adaptive approaches are required for cybersecurity; solely technical or financial measures would not be enough to ensure cybersecurity. Instead, a more holistic view that considers all aspects of cybersecurity would be more appropriate. In the aviation sector, where technical aspects are dominant and sensitivities are exceptionally high, it can be directly noticed that the associated complexities are heightened even further. This results in a requirement for a more concrete and detailed understanding and approach for cybersecurity in aviation. In this chapter, cybersecurity approaches and applications in aviation sector will be discussed extensively. © 2024, IGI Global.

One of them is the media in which there are several problems that need to be solved — like in all other post-Soviet countries. This chapter discusses the media landscape of Azerbaijan. It analyzes both the legal documents and the related studies through a comprehensive literature review to understand the current situation of the media in Azerbaijan. The legal system in Azerbaijan is based on Continental European law; however, there are still some remnants of the past Soviet communist system. The Republic of Azerbaijan's Law on Media was enacted at the end of 2021, and it came into force following its publication in the official gazette on 8 February 2022. The Venice Commission of Council of Europe emphasizes that the Law paves the way for regulating the media sector, including online media, and restricts the activities. © 2025 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Environmental friendly, fully biodegradable reinforced polymers or `green' composite materials will play a major role in making the products of the future to protect our environment. The use of biodegradable and environment-friendly plant-based natural fibers has been a promising choice for polymers to make them `greener'. In addition to being obtained from renewable sources, natural fibers suitable for composites are biodegradable and have enhanced properties. Bamboo is an excellent example for the development of sustainable natural fibers, since it can grow very fast per day, and the fibers of bamboo have excellent mechanical performance. Additionally, research in the development of bamboo-reinforced composites should be increased in the future, considering their enhanced properties, economical benefits and environmental friendly nature.Book Part Citation - WoS: 14Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Bitcoin Market Price Analysis and an Empirical Comparison With Main Currencies, Commodities, Securities and Altcoins(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2019) Pirgaip,B.; Dinçergök,B.; Haşlak,Ş.; BusinessThe purpose of this study is to analyze Bitcoin (BTC) market prices and to answer the question of whether there is a relationship between BTC and other asset prices, where other assets include currencies, commodities, securities and altcoins. In the empirical part, we evaluate the lead-lag relationships among each type of asset. Consequently, we compare BTC with major currencies and stock exchanges of the U.S., the EU, the U.K. and Japan (USD-SPX, EUR-DAX, GBP-FTSE and JPY-NIK), with currencies and stock exchanges of the U.S., the U.K., Russia, Venezuela and China where BTC is actively traded (USD-SPX, GBP-FTSE, RUB-MOEX, VEF-IBVC and YUAN-SSCE), with major commodities (GOLD and OIL) and with major altcoins (ETH, XRP and LTC) on a daily basis for the period spanning from 2010.07 to 2018.12. We employ Johansen co-integration, Granger causality, impulse response functions and forecast error variance decomposition analyses in our study. Our results show that BTC does not have a long-run relationship with any asset type, but that it has a short-run relationship with gold and especially altcoins, which are both significant and bidirectional. While BTC and altcoins are closely interrelated with each other, BTC price variation is mostly borne by its own prices in all cases. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Business Cycles and Energy Real Options Valuation(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Kenc,T.; Ekinci,M.F.; EconomicsThis paper uses a real options approach to value energy projects whose cash flows follow a normal distribution and subject to macroeconomic risks. Large and irreversible energy investments are usually modelled in real options frameworks with lognormal distributions. This line of research omits two important factors for energy investments. They are the existence of negative cash flows and the impact of business cycles. We developed a unified framework to capture the implications of these omitted features. The framework is based on an arithmetic Brownian motion (ABM) process for the dynamics of cash flows with regime shifts. Our numerical analysis provide results on investment triggering cash flow critical values, probability of investing and optimal investment time. Comparing these results with those obtained under a conventional real option value framework with geometric Brownian motion (GBM) suggests that there are significant differences across these models. The results indicate that ABM investors are more likely to invest within a specified period. Numerical analysis also points that macroeconomic risks are important for investors. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021, corrected publication 2021.
