    Web Privacy: Issues, Legislations, and Technological Challenges
    (IGI Global, 2008) Mishra,A.; Mishra,D.
    People all over the world increasingly are concerned about the privacy issues surrounding the personal information collected by private organizations, governments and employers. Privacy relates to issues regarding collection, secure transmission, storage, authorized access, usage, and disclosure of personal information. This information is used for commercial gain by many organizations. Individual privacy concerns significantly affects consumer willingness to engage in electronic commerce over the Internet. The increased use of the Internet and Web for everyday activities is bringing new threats to personal privacy. This chapter assessed various issues related to individual privacy on the Web, growing concerns among the Web users, technologies employed for collecting and protecting information on the Web, privacy-enhancing technologies and the legal provisions to curb the Web privacy. This chapter also reported detailed discussion about Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), its structure, present scenario of its implementation and its future success. Global consistency on Internet privacy protection is important to promote the growth of electronic commerce. To protect consumers in a globally consistent manner, legislation, self-regulation, technical solutions and combination solutions are different ways that can be implemented. © 2008, IGI Global.

    Clinical Development of Quinone-Based Drugs
    (Elsevier, 2024) Altuner, E.E.; Issa, G.; Ozalp, V.C.; Aldemir, O.; Torlak, Y.; Dar, U.A.
    This chapter provides a detailed explanation of the clinical investigations, pharmacological effects, and characteristics of quinone and quinone derivatives, along with references to pertinent sources. Although quinones have an oxygen group in their structure, they are quickly oxidized and interact with reactive oxygen species. This demonstrates how quinones work as drugs. Quinones and their derivatives are used as medications to treat a wide range of diseases, including cancer, lung, kidney, brain, and tumor disorders. Each of the following has effects on a different area of health; lapochols, anthraquinones, naphthoquinone and its derivatives, and other wide range of quinone derivatives are thoroughly explored in this chapter. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.

    Impacts of Economic and Institutional Dynamics on New Media Applications Penetration: Sample Country Analysis
    (IGI Global, 2020) Benli,H.E.
    New media applications become vital in order to compete as a country and as human beings. Despite the positive impact and increasing global usage of new media applications, some countries have low new media applications penetration when others have high. This should be analyzed and evaluated within the countries' own macroeconomic and institutional dynamics. Dynamic motives as institutional, macroeconomic, infrastructural, and political factors heavily divined and also easily damage the current and future conditions of the countries. This work conceptually and concretely investigated the role of specific factors. Macroeconomic factors are determined as population, GDP growth rate, and population rate of the countries. Institutional factors are evaluated through political stability index, rule of law index, and civil liberties index of each sample country. Infrastructural factors, business environment, and investments were analyzed with looking at international internet bandwidth per internet users and competitiveness data for countries. © 2021, IGI Global.

    A Multi Source Graph-Based Hybrid Recommendation Algorithm
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Kurt,Z.; Gerek,Ö.N.; Bilge,A.; Özkan,K.
    Images that widely exist on e-commerce sites, social networks, and many other applications are one of the most important information resources integrated into the recently deployed image-based recommender systems. In the latest studies, researchers have jointly considered ratings and images to generate recommendations, many of which are still restricted to limited information sources, sources namely, ratings with another input data, or which require the pre-existence of domain knowledge to generate recommendations. In this paper, a new graph-based hybrid framework is introduced to generate recommendations and overcome these challenges. Firstly, a simple overview of the framework is provided and, then, two different information sources (visual images and numerical ratings) are utilized to describe how the proposed framework can be developed in practice. Furthermore, the users’ visual preferences are determined based on which item they have already purchased. Then, each user is represented as a visual feature vector. Finally, the similarity factors between the users or items are evaluated from the user visual-feature or item visual-feature matrices, to be included the proposed algorithm for more efficiency. The proposed hybrid recommendation method depends on a link prediction approach and reveals the significant potential for performance improvement in top-N recommendation tasks. The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed appraoch using three quality measurements - hit-ratio, recall, and precision - on the three subsets of the Amazon dataset, as well as its flexibility to incorporate different information sources. Finally, it is concluded that hybrid recommendation algorithms that use the integration of multiple types of input data perform better than previous recommendation algorithms that only utilize one type of input data. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Design of Recycled Aluminium (AA7075)-Based Composites Reinforced with Nano Filler NiAl Intermetallic and Nano Niobium Powder Produced with Vacuum Arc Melting for Aeronautical Applications
    (CRC Press, 2023) Kasar,C.; Aslan,O.; Gatamorta,F.; Miskioglu,I.; Bayraktar,E.
    In the frame of the common research project, the mechanical properties of recycled gas atomized scrap aluminium (AA 7075)-based composites reinforced with nano filler NiAl intermetallic and niobium (Nb) elements have been evaluated. Firstly, the mixture was homogenized by means of a ball milling process for 4 hours. After cold compaction of the compositions, the final specimens have been produced with “vacuum arc melting” for aeronautical applications. Static and dynamic compression tests have been conducted. Additional tensile tests have also been carried out. Experimental results were compared with a finite element method. The interface and microstructure of these composites have also been evaluated by a scanning electron microscopy. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, N. M. Nurazzi, E. Bayraktar, M. N. F.
