Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2A Tool To Enhance Cooperation and Knowledge Transfer Among Software Developers(2009) Aydin,S.; Mishra,D.Software developers have been successfully tailoring software development methods according to the project situation and more so in small scale software development organizations. There is a need to share this knowledge with other developers who may be facing the same project situation so that they can benefit from other people experiences. In this paper, an approach to enhance cooperation among software developers, in terms of sharing the knowledge that was used successfully in past projects, is proposed. A web-based tool is developed that can assist in creation, storage and extraction of methods related with requirement elicitation phase. These methods are categorized according to certain criteria which helps in searching a method that will be most appropriate in a given project situation. This approach and tool can also be used for other software development activities. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3A Short Note on Permutation Trinomials of Prescribed Type(Taylor & Francis inc, 2020) Akbal, Yildirim; Temur, Burcu Gulmez; Ongan, PinarWe show that there are no permutation trinomials of the form hox 1/4 x5 ox5oq1 xq1 1 over Fq2 where q is not a power of 2. Together with a result of Zha, Z., Hu, L., Fan, S., hox permutes Fq2 if q 1/4 2k where k 2 omod 4, this gives a complete classification of those q's such that hox permutes F-q(2).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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 7Some Almost Generalized (ψ, Φ)-Contractions in g-metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Aydi, Hassen; Amor, Sana Hadj; Karapinar, Erdal; Hadj Amor, SanaIn this paper, we introduce some almost generalized (psi, phi)-contractions in the setting of G-metric spaces. We prove some fixed points results for such contractions. The presented theorems improve and extend some known results in the literature. An example is also presented.Conference Object The Psychometric Properties of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale in the Turkish Context(Hogrefe Ag-hogrefe Ag Suisse, 2023) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Kozak, Ekin Doga; Yildirim, Julide CerenArticle Citation - Scopus: 5Real-World Data From Turkey: Is Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir With or Without Ribavirin Treatment for Chronic Hepatitis C Really Effective?(AVES, 2021) Demirtürk,N.; Aygen,B.; Çelik,İ.; Mıstık,R.; Akhan,S.; Barut,Ş.; Doğan,N.; Karakeçili, Faruk; Asan, Ali; Özel, Selcan Arslan; Ersöz, Gülden; Yıldız, Orhan; Şimşek, Sümeyra; Tarakçı, HüseyinBackground: In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir-based therapies in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in real-world clinical practice. Methods: Data from patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with SOF/LDV ± RBV or SOF/RBV in 31 centers across Turkey between April 1, 2017, and August 31, 2018, were recorded in a nationwide database among infectious disease specialists. Demographics, clinical, and virological outcomes were analyzed. Results: A total of 552 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 51.28 ± 14.2, and 293 (55.8%) were female. The majority had HCV genotype 1b infection (65%), 75.04% of the patients underwent treatment, and non-cirrhosis was present at baseline in 381 patients (72.6%). SOF/LDV ± RBV treatment was given to 477 patients and 48 patients received SOF/RBV according to HCV genotype. The total SVR12 rate was 99% in all patients. Five patients experienced disease relapse during the study and all of them were genotype 2. In patients infected with HCV GT2, SVR12 was 77.3%. SVR was 100% in all patients infected with other HCV genotypes. All treatments were well tolerated by patients without causing severe adverse events. Side effects and side effects-associated treatment discontinuation rates were 28.2% and 0.4%, respectively. Weakness (13.7%) was the common side effect. Conclusion: The present real-world data of 525 patients with HCV genotypes 1, 1a, 1b, 3, 4, and 5 who underwent SOF/LDV ± RBV treatment in Turkey demonstrated a high efficacy and safety profile. HCV GT2 patients should be treated with more efficacious treatment. © Copyright 2021 by The Turkish Society of Gastroenterology • Available online at turkjgastroenterol.orgConference Object Citation - WoS: 2A Multi-Paradigm Complexity Metric (mcm)(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2011) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim; Cafer, FeridHuge amount of researches and software metrics have been proposed for procedural and object-oriented languages. However, there are only few metrics available in the literature related with multi-paradigm programming languages. In this paper, we propose a metric to evaluate the code written in multi-paradigm language. Our proposed metric can be used for most of the programming paradigms, including both procedural and object-oriented languages.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7UTILIZATION OF REACTOR GRADE PLUTONIUM AS ENERGY MULTIPLIER IN THE LIFE ENGINE(Amer Nuclear Soc, 2012) Sahin, Sumer; Sahin, Haci Mehmet; Acir, AdemThe accumulated reactor grade (RG)-plutonium as nuclear waste of conventional reactors is estimated to exceed 1700 tonnes. Laser Inertial Confinement Fusion Fission Energy (LIFE) engine is considered to incinerate RG-plutonium in stockpiles. Calculations have been conducted for a constant fusion driver power of 500 MWth in S-8-P-3 approximation using 238-neutron groups. RG-plutonium out of the nuclear waste of LWRs is used in form of fissile carbide fuel in TRISO particles with volume fractions of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 %, homogenously dispersed in the Flibe coolant. Respective tritium breeding ratio (TBR) values per incident fits ion neutron are calculated as TBR = 1.35, 1.52, 1.73, 2.02 and 2.47 at start-up. With the burn up of fissionable RG-Pu isotopes in the coolant, TBR decreases gradually. Similarly, blanket energy multiplications are calculated as M-0 = 3.8, 5.5, 7.7, 10.8 and 15.4 at start-up, respectively. Calculations have indicated prospects of achievability of very high burn up values (> 400 000 MD.D/MT).Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Global Asymptotic Stability of Cellular Neural Networks With Unequal Delays Lmi Approach(Iee-inst Elec Eng, 2004) Singh, VA criterion for the global asymptotic stability and uniqueness of the equilibrium point of cellular neural networks with unequal delays is presented. The criterion is computationally efficient, since it is in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI).Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Reliability-Based Evaluation of Scouring Around Dual Bridge Piers(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2019) Yilmaz, Meric; Calamak, Melih; Yanmaz, A. MelihThe causes of uncertainty involved in temporal variation of the depth of cavern formation due to clear water scouring at dual piers with tandem arrangement are identified in this study. In an example, the probability of failure induced by scouring around dual piers is estimated for various pier spacing using probabilistic analysis. The effects of changes in the coefficient of variation of probabilistic scouring variables and probability distributions on the probability of the loss of stability, are also investigated. It was established that the effects of variations in the coefficient of variation on the probability of the loss of stability are more significant compared to that on the probability distributions of the scour depth.
