Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11g-metric Spaces in Any Number of Arguments and Related Fixed-Point Theorems(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2014) Roldan, Antonio; Karapinar, Erdal; Kumam, PoomInspired by the notion of Mustafa and Sims' G-metric space and the attention that this kind of metric has received in recent times, we introduce the concept of a G-metric space in any number of variables, and we study some of the basic properties. Then we prove that the family of this kind of metric is closed under finite products. Finally, we show some fixed-point theorems that improve and extend some well-known results in this field.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Differences in System Justification With Respect To Gender, Political Conservatism, Socio-Economic Status and Religious Fundamentalism(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Dirilen-Gumus, Ozlem; Department of PsychologyIn this research, we investigated the differences in system justification in relation to gender, political conservatism, socioeconomic status (SES) and religious fundamentalism. Three hundred Turkish University Students were given System Justification Scale, Political Ideology and Religiosity Scale. They also supplied their demographic information. Muslim Religious Orientation Scale was also included into the questionnaire in order to identify those who have extrinsic, intrinsic, quest and fundamentalist orientation. It was found that masculinity, having a conservative political ideology, religious fundamentalism and having a low SES will lead to more individuals having system-justifying thoughts. These findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

METHODS: The magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance arthrography images of patients with paraglenoid labral cysts who presented to our clinic between 2016 and 2018 were examined. In patients with paraglenoid labral cysts, the location of the cysts, the relation between the cyst and the labrum, the location and extent of glenoid labrum damage, and whether there was contrast medium passage into the cysts were investigated. The accuracy of magnetic resonance arthrographic information was evaluated in patients undergoing arthroscopy. RESULTS: In this prospective study, a paraglenoid labral cyst was detected in 20 patients. In 16 patients, there was a defect in the labrum adjacent to the cyst. Seven of these cysts were adjacent to the posterior superior labrum. In 13 patients, there were contrast solution leak into the cyst. For the remaining seven patients, no contrast-medium passage was observed in the cyst. Three patients had sublabral recess anomalies. Two patients had rotator cuff muscle denervation atrophy accompanying the cysts. The cysts of these patients were larger compared to those of the other patients. CONCLUSION: Paraglenoid labral cysts are frequently associated with the rupture of the adjacent labrum. In these patients, symptoms are generally accompanied by secondary labral pathologies. Magnetic resonance arthrography can be successfully used not only to demonstrate the association of the cyst with the joint capsule and labrum, but also to reliably demonstrate the presence and extension of labral defects.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1On Some Permutation Trinomials in Characteristic Three(Hacettepe Univ, Fac Sci, 2025) Temür, Burcu Gülmez; Özkaya, Buket; Gülmez Temür, BurcuIn this paper, we determine the permutation properties of the polynomial x3 +xq+2 −x4q−1 over the finite field Fq2 in characteristic three. Moreover, we consider the trinomials of the form x4q−1 + x2q+1 ± x3. In particular, we first show that x3 + xq+2 − x4q−1 permutes Fq2 with q = 3m if and only if m is odd. This enables us to show that the sufficient condition in [34, Theorem 4] is also necessary. Next, we prove that x4q−1 + x2q+1 − x3 permutes Fq2 with q = 3m if and only if m ̸≡ 0 (mod 4). Consequently, we prove that the sufficient condition in [20, Theorem 3.2] is also necessary. Finally, we investigate the trinomial x4q−1 + x2q+1 + x3 and show that it is never a permutation polynomial of Fq2 in any characteristic. All the polynomials considered in this work are not quasi-multiplicative equivalent to any known class of permutation trinomials.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 24The New Middle Class in Emerging Markets: How Values and Demographics Influence Discretionary Consumption(Wiley, 2019) Belbag, Aybegum G.; Uner, M. Mithat; Cavusgil, Erin; Cavusgi, S. Tamer; Cavusgil, S. TamerThe rise of new middle-class consumers in rapidly transforming emerging markets has attracted the attention of Western business executives. What they know about this growing segment of customers will determine whether they succeed or fail in these markets. The present study examines the factors that drive the discretionary consumption of this new middle class, including the effects of consumerist values, religious values, occupation, education levels, and ownership of fixed assets. The study draws its insights from data gathered from 391 new middle-class consumers in Ankara, the second-largest city in Turkey. The findings provide important implications for businesses, both indigenous and foreign. An overall implication is that managers ought to understand and qualify the new middle class in emerging markets not simply by their access to disposable income but by deeper attitudinal and behavioral characteristics.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Spline Based Sparseness and Smoothness for Partially Nonlinear Model Via C-Fused Lasso(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2025) Taylan, P.; Yerlikaya-¨Ozkurt, F.; Tez, M.; Yerlikaya-Ozkurt, FatmaOne of the most beneficial and widely used models for data analysis are partially nonlinear models (PNLRM), which consists of parametric and nonparametric components. Since the model includes the coefficients of both the parametric and nonparametric parts, the complexity of the model will be high and its interpretation will be very difficult. In this study, we propose a procedure that not only achieves sparseness, but also smoothness for PNLRM to obtain a simpler model that better explains the relationship between the response and covariates. Thus, the fused Lasso problem is taken into account where nonparametric components are expressed as a spline basis function, and then the Fused Lasso estimation problem is built and expressed in terms of conic quadratic programming. Applications are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method by considering commonly utilized measures. Promising results are obtained, especially in the data with nonlinearly correlated variables. © (2025), (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences).

According to the model, the system fails when the time between two consecutive shocks is less than a prespecified level. This is the discrete time version of the so-called delta-shock model which has been previously studied for the continuous case. We obtain the probability mass function and probability generating function of the system's lifetime. We also present an extension of the results to the case where the shock occurrences are dependent in a Markovian fashion. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The main advantage of this technique is that the bulk properties of the material remain unchanged while the surface properties and biocompatibility are enhanced. Polymers are used in many biomedical applications; such as implants, because of their variable bulk properties. On the other hand, their surface properties are inadequate which demands certain surface treatments including atmospheric pressure plasma treatment. In biomedical applications, surface treatment is important to promote good cell adhesion, proliferation, and growth. This article aim is to give an overview of different atmospheric pressure plasma treatments of polymer surface, and their influence on cell-material interaction with different cell lines.Data Paper Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 65A Database for the Radio Frequency Fingerprinting of Bluetooth Devices(Mdpi, 2020) Uzundurukan, Emre; Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, AliRadio frequency fingerprinting (RFF) is a promising physical layer protection technique which can be used to defend wireless networks from malicious attacks. It is based on the use of the distinctive features of the physical waveforms (signals) transmitted from wireless devices in order to classify authorized users. The most important requirement to develop an RFF method is the existence of a precise, robust, and extensive database of the emitted signals. In this context, this paper introduces a database consisting of Bluetooth (BT) signals collected at different sampling rates from 27 different smartphones (six manufacturers with several models for each). Firstly, the data acquisition system to create the database is described in detail. Then, the two well-known methods based on transient BT signals are experimentally tested by using the provided data to check their solidity. The results show that the created database may be useful for many researchers working on the development of the RFF of BT devices.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Lyapunov Type Inequalities for Nth Order Forced Differential Equations With Mixed Nonlinearities(Amer inst Mathematical Sciences-aims, 2016) Agarwal, Ravi P.; Ozbekler, AbdullahIn the case of oscillatory potentials, we present Lyapunov type inequalities for nth order forced differential equations of the form x((n))(t) + Sigma(m)(j=1) qj (t)vertical bar x(t)vertical bar(alpha j-1)x(t)= f(t) satisfying the boundary conditions x(a(i)) = x(1)(a(i)) = x(11)(ai) = center dot center dot center dot = x((ki))(ai) = 0; i = 1, 2,..., r, where a(1) < a(2) < ... < a(r), 0 <= k(i) and Sigma(r)(j=1) k(j) + r = n: r >= 2. No sign restriction is imposed on the forcing term and the nonlinearities satisfy 0 < alpha(l) < ... < alpha a(j) < 1 < alpha a(j+1) < ... < alpha(m) < 2. The obtained inequalities generalize and compliment the existing results in the literature.
