Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Assessing Team Work in Engineering Projects(Tempus Publications, 2015) Mishra, Deepti; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Hacaloglu, Tuna; Mathematics; Computer Engineering; Information Systems EngineeringTeam work is considered a valuable teaching technique in higher education. However, the assessment of an individual's work in teams has proved to be a challenging task. Consequently, self-and peer-evaluations are becoming increasingly popular for the assessment of individuals in a team work, though it is essential to determine whether students can judge their own as well as their peer's performance effectively. Self-and peer-evaluations have been applied in different disciplines and their authenticity with regard to teacher's assessment has been evaluated in the literature but this issue has not been investigated in the field of engineering education so far. In this study, a peer-and self-assessment procedure is applied to the evaluation of a project work conducted in teams of 3 or 4 students. The participants were engineering students taking two similar courses related with database design and development. It is found that a majority of the students were unable to assess themselves as objectively as their instructor. Further, it is observed that successful students tend to under-estimate, whereas unsuccessful students tend to over-estimate, their own performance. The paper also establishes that the results of self-assessments are independent from the gender factor.Article On the Lupas q-transform of Unbounded Functions(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2023) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetThe Lupa , s q-transform comes out naturally in the study of the Lupa , s q-analogue of the Bernstein operator. It is closely related to the Heine q-distribution which has a numerous application in q-boson operator calculus and to the Valiron method of summation for divergent series. In this paper, the Lupa , s q-transform (lambda(q)f)(z), q is an element of (0, 1), of unbounded functions is considered in distinction to the previous researches, where only the case f is an element of C[0, 1] have been investigated. First, the condition for a function to possess the Lupa , s q-transform is presented. Also, results concerning the connection between growth rate of the function f (t) as t -> 1(-) and the growth of its Lupa , s q-transform (lambda(q)f)(z) as z -> infinity are established.

Lately, various features of this operator have been investigated from several angles. It has been proved that the smoothness of f is an element of C[0, 1] affects the possibility for an analytic continuation of its image B-q f. This work aims to investigate the reciprocal: to what extent the smoothness of f can be retrieved from the analytical properties of B-q f.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1On the q-moment Determinacy of Probability Distributions(Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Soc, 2020) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetGiven 0Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9The Approximation of Logarithmic Function by q-bernstein Polynomials in the Case q > 1(Springer, 2007) Ostrovska, SofiyaSince in the case q > 1, q-Bernstein polynomials are not positive linear operators on C[ 0, 1], the study of their approximation properties is essentially more difficult than that for 0 < q < 1. Despite the intensive research conducted in the area lately, the problem of describing the class of functions in C[ 0, 1] uniformly approximated by their q-Bernstein polynomials ( q > 1) remains open. It is known that the approximation occurs for functions admitting an analytic continuation into a disc {z : | z| < R}, R > 1. For functions without such an assumption, no general results on approximation are available. In this paper, it is shown that the function f ( x) = ln( x + a), a > 0, is uniformly approximated by its q-Bernstein polynomials ( q > 1) on the interval [ 0, 1] if and only if a >= 1.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2On the q-bernstein Polynomials of the Logarithmic Function in the Case q > 1(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2016) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe q-Bernstein basis used to construct the q-Bernstein polynomials is an extension of the Bernstein basis related to the q-binomial probability distribution. This distribution plays a profound role in the q-boson operator calculus. In the case q > 1, q-Bernstein basic polynomials on [0, 1] combine the fast increase in magnitude with sign oscillations. This seriously complicates the study of q-Bernstein polynomials in the case of q > 1. The aim of this paper is to present new results related to the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B- q of discontinuous functions in the case q > 1. The behavior of polynomials B-n,B- q(f; x) for functions f possessing a logarithmic singularity at 0 has been examined. (C) 2016 Mathematical Institute Slovak Academy of SciencesArticle Citation - WoS: 7On the Approximation of Analytic Functions by the q-bernstein Polynomials in the Case q > 1(Kent State University, 2010) Ostrovska, SofiyaSince for q > 1, the q-Bernstein polynomials B(n,q) are not positive linear operators on C[0, 1], the investigation of their convergence properties turns out to be much more difficult than that in the case 0 < q < 1. In this paper, new results on the approximation of continuous functions by the q-Bernstein polynomials in the case q > 1 are presented. It is shown that if f is an element of C[0, 1] and admits an analytic continuation f(z) into {z : |z| < a}, then B(n,q) (f; z) -> f (z) as n -> infinity, uniformly on any compact set in {z : |z| < a}.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2The Limit q-bernstein Operators With Varying q(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Almesbahi, Manal Mastafa; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, Mehmet[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1The Continuity in Q of the Lupaş Q-Analogues of the Bernstein Operators(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2024) Yilmaz, Ovgue Gurel; Turan, Mehmet; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, Mehmet; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, Mehmet; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Mathematics; MathematicsThe Lupas q-analogue Rn,q of the Bernstein operator is the first known q-version of the Bernstein polynomials. It had been proposed by A. Lupas in 1987, but gained the popularity only 20 years later, when q-analogues of classical operators pertinent to the approximation theory became an area of intensive research. In this work, the continuity of operators Rn,q with respect to parameter q in the strong operator topology and in the uniform operator topology has been investigated. The cases when n is fixed and n -> infinity have been considered. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.

In this paper, the distributions of random variable X-P, p > 0, where X has the Kummer distribution, are considered with the conditions being IFR/DFR, some properties of moments depending on the parameters and the moment-(in) determinacy. In the case of moment-indeterminacy, exemplary Stieltjes classes are constructed.
