Conference Object Producing Synthetic Speech From Turkish Text Via a Single Sound Synthesizer Ic;(2010) Tora,H.; Cengizler,Ç.In this study, new speech sounds were created for Turkish letters from the allophones listed in SpeakJet Magnevation complex sound synthesizer IC, which is intended for English, by selecting and paring the most similiar phonems. Consequently, Turkish Text to Speech synthesizer was implemented with minimum enviroment elements and no physical modification on IC. Paring based on SAMPA showed that all Turkish phonems can be obtained from English allophones with high compatibility. The text to speech and paring algorithm presented herein is developed to be embedded in a microcontroller and capable to vocalize a random Turkish text with SpeakJet IC.Article İNSAN HAKLARININ İNSANİ ULUSLARARASI HUKUK NORMLARININ OLUŞUMUNDA ETKİSİ(2016) Arsava, A. Fusunİnsan haklarının 1945’ten itibaren gösterdiği gelişme insani uluslararası hukuku etkilemektedir. Askeri operasyonlar çerçevesinde alınan önlemler sadece insani uluslararası hukuka veya uluslararası ceza hukukuna göre değil, insan haklarına göre de denetlenmektedir. Cenevre Konvansiyonlarında ve bu konvansiyonlara ilişkin I No.lu ek protokolde çok sayıda kişi ve obje zararla karşılığın uygulama alanı dışında bırakılmış olsa da, uluslararası hukuk enstrümanı olarak sivil halka karşı zararla karşılık uygulaması devam etmektedir. Makalede sivil halka karşı silahlı güç içeren zararla karşılığın meşruiyeti ve haklı- lığı tartışmaları yanısıra, bu çerçevede insani uluslararası hukukun şekillenmesinde insan haklarının oynadığı role ışık tutulmaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Berinde Mappings in Ordered Metric Spaces(Springer-verlag Italia Srl, 2015) Karapinar, Erdal; Sadarangani, KishinRecently, Samet and Vetro proved a fixed point theorem for mappings satisfying a general contractive condition of integral type in orbitally complete metric spaces (Samet and Vetro, Chaos Solitons Fractals 44:1075-1079, 2011). Our aim in this paper is to present a version of the results obtained in the above mentioned paper in the context of ordered metric spaces. Some examples are presented to distinguish our results from the existing ones.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Physical Properties of the Bi1.5zn0.92-2x< Solid Solutions(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2016) Al Garni, S. E.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Mergen, A.The Hf doping effect on the structural, compositional, optical, electrical and dielectric properties of the bismuth-zinc-niobium oxide pyrochlore ceramics is explored by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible light spectroscopy in the wavelength range of 200-1100 nm, temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements in the range of 300-460 K and dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range of 0.1-1.0 GHz. The optimum solubility limit in the Bi1.5Zn0.92-2xHfxNb1.5O6.92 solid solution is observed for the Hf content of 0.06. Increasing the Hf content from 0.03 to 0.06 decreased the room temperature, lattice constant, strain, dislocation density, optical energy band gap and electrical resistivity. It also increased the crystallite size and the dielectric constant. The energy band gap of the pure BZN (3.30 eV) decreased to 2.21 and reached 2.10 eV as the Hf content increased from 0.03 to 0.06. This behavior of the BZN suggests its suitability for optical applications of the visible region of light like photovoltaic devices. In addition, the remarkable increase in the dielectric constant from 258 to 280 and 456 nominates the Hf doped pyrochlore for passive mode operation devices like microwave capacitors.

In our study, we address the outlier problem for classification by using the Mean Shift Outlier Model (CLMSOM). Since the MSOM has more coefficients than the linear regression model, the complexity of the model MSOM is high. Therefore, we consider feature selection for MSOM by using fused Lasso (FLasso), which is beneficial and helpful in the cases where the number of explanatory variables or features is greater than the sample size. FLasso is penalizing both the coefficients and their successive differences by the L-1-norm, and it allows sparsity for both of them, while Lasso only allows the coefficients by considering a nonsmooth optimization problem. In this study, we take into account Iterated Ridge approximation which enables us to use a smooth optimization for FLasso problem. Generated smooth optimization problem is solved by using one of continuous optimization techniques called Conic Quadratic Programming (CQP), which is enabling the utilization of interior point methods. The newly developed method is called Conic FLasso for classification by MSOM (C-FLasso-CLMSOM) and is applied to real world data set to show its performance.Article A New Approach for Attaining Admissible and Applicable Output Through A Sustainable and Iterative Design Education Process(2023) Ünal, Bülent; Çalgüner, Alper; Bodur, Gizem; Demirci, Hatice MerveAs an interactive project-based problem-solving process, design education entails a sustainable but applicable approach systematically combining a cognitive network’s morphological, functional, and conceptual aspects. The framework presented in this study has been designated for ensuring the framework of a specific design education process, demonstrating logic-oriented phases, necessitating an overall scaled association process that consists of a range of alternative ideas sample solutions, and a set of anti-thesis for each case. The operating process portrays a multi-linear flow that should be formulated with a linear structure that could be defined visually by a rounded path to illustrate the comprehensiveness across the timeline along the traditional track through a systematic vision. The framework stated in this study is a compiler guideline aiming to enable provisional circumstances for a specific system structure that effectuate various components due to design education. Besides attaining admissible and applicable student output, it also can pave the way for creative student works in various disciplines basing on studio education.Article ISAR Imaging of Drone Swarms at 77 GHz(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2025) Coruk, Remziye Busra; Kara, Ali; Aydin, ElifThe proliferation of easily available, internet-purchased drones, coupled with the emergence of coordinated drone swarms, poses a significant security threat for airspace. Detecting these swarms is crucial to prevent potential accidents, criminal misuse, and airspace disruptions. This paper proposes a novel inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging technique for high-resolution reconstruction of drone swarms at 77 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency, offering a valuable tool for military and defense antidrone systems. The key parameters affecting down-range and cross-range resolution (0.05 m), ultimately enabling the generation of detailed ISAR images are discussed. Here, we create diverse scenarios encompassing various swarm formations, sizes, and payload configurations by employing ANSYS simulations. To enhance image quality, different window functions are evaluated, and the Hamming window is selected due to its highest peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) (16.3645) and structural similarity (SSIM) (0.9067) values, ensuring superior noise reduction and structural preservation. The results demonstrate that the effectiveness of high-resolution ISAR imaging in accurately detecting and characterizing drone swarms pave the way for enhanced airspace security measures.Article Kuru Kafalarda Processus Mastoideus Morfometrisi(2020) Çalışkan, Selma; Akkaşoğlu, Sinem; Sargon, Mustafa Fevzi; Demiryürek, Deniz; Demıryurek, Mehmet DenızAmaç: Çalışmamızda processus mastoideus anatomisinin detaylarını tanımlamak ve cerrahlar, anatomistler, antropologlar ve adli bilimler ile ilgilenenlere ışık tutmak amaçlanmıştır Gereç ve Yöntemler: Processus mastoideus temporal kemikte meatus acusticus externus’un postero-inferioru’ndan aşağı doğru uzanan bir yapıdır.

This model has a potential application in various fields such as inventory, insurance and system reliability. In this paper, we study run-related generalization of this model such that the system fails when k consecutive interarrival times are less than a threshold delta. The survival function and the mean value of the failure time of the system are explicitly derived for exponentially distributed interarrival times. We also propose a new combined shock model which considers both the magnitudes of successive shocks and the interarrival times. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

This study aimed to examine associations between mother's primary involvement in caregiving and intensive parenting, as well as their potential sources, thereby focusing on: family social status, characteristics of the national economy (income inequality and social mobility) and culture (individualism-collectivism) in 11 culturally diverse countries. Participants were 2535 mothers of children aged between 6 and 10. Mothers reported on their intensive parenting behaviors, entailing both supportive and undermining aspects of meeting their child's needs, as well as their level of involvement in daily caregiving tasks and the subjective family social status. Hypotheses were tested controlling for country level response style. Results revealed that: mothers who were more often the primary caregiver across daily tasks used more intensive parenting behaviors; high social status mothers were using less child need undermining yet more supportive intensive parenting behaviors, and less frequently served as the primary caregiver for daily tasks; the undermining intensive parenting behaviors related positively to country-level individualism and income inequality, whereas relations with social mobility were mixed.
