Article Citation - WoS: 5Component Importance in Coherent Systems With Exchangeable Components(Cambridge Univ Press, 2015) Eryilmaz, SerkanThis paper is concerned with the Birnbaum importance measure of a component in a binary coherent system. A representation for the Birnbaum importance of a component is obtained when the system consists of exchangeable dependent components. The results are closely related to the concept of the signature of a coherent system. Some examples are presented to illustrate the results.Article Citation - WoS: 12Skeletonization-based beam finite element models for stochastic bicontinuous materials: Application to simulations of nanoporous gold(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018) Soyarslan, Celal; Argeso, Hakan; Borgmann, SwantjeAn efficient representative volume element generation strategy is developed in modeling nanoporous materials. It uses periodic 3D beam finite element (FE) models derived from skeletonization of spinodal-like stochastic microstructures produced by a leveled random field. To mimic stiffening with agglomeration of the mass at junctions, an increased Young's modulus is assigned to the elements within the junction zone. The effective Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and universal anisotropy index are computed. A good agreement of the Young's modulus predictions with those obtained from experimental results for phase volume fractions 0.20 < phi(B) < 0.50 is observed. Moreover, the elastic anisotropy index of the generated beam networks shows sufficient proximity to isotropy. Finally, it is demonstrated that, as compared to the simulation statistics of voxel-FE models, for the beam-FE models over 500-fold computational acceleration with 250-fold less memory requirement is provided.Book Part Citation - WoS: 4Continued Fractions: Real Numbers(Cambridge Univ Press, 2008) Khrushchev, Sergey[No Abstract Available]Book Part Article A boundary value problem for second-order nonlinear difference equations on the integers(Cambridge Univ Press, 2005) Dal, F; Guseinov, GSIn this study, we are concerned with a boundary value problem (BVP) for nonlinear difference equations on the set of all integers Z, under the assumption that the left-hand side is a second-order linear difference expression which belongs to the so-called Weyl-Hamburger limit-circle case. The BVP is considered in the Hilbert space l(2) and includes boundary conditions at infinity. Existence and uniqueness results for solution of the considered BVP are established.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A Note on Public Investment, Public Debt, and Macroeconomic Performance(Cambridge Univ Press, 2011) Ismihan, Mustafa; Ozkan, F. GulcinThis paper provides an assessment of public capital spending within a macroeconomic policy model with explicit monetary and fiscal interactions, in contrast to most of the existing analyses of public investment that utilize "real" general equilibrium models. As such, we are able to consider the interactions of public investment with inflation, taxation, and public debt. Our results indicate that a clear trade-off exists between the costs and benefits of public investment, as is the case in the existing literature. However, the use of a monetary-fiscal policy model rather than a "real" general equilibrium one enables us to trace the macroeconomic channels including monetary ones through which these costs and benefits are transmitted to the rest of the economy. To the extent that these costs and benefits vary between countries, our results provide a potential explanation for the mixed empirical findings on the real effects of public capital spending.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Air Refueling Optimisation for More Agile and Efficient Military Deployment Operations(Cambridge Univ Press, 2022) Toydas, M.; Malyemez, C.Strategic airlift is a crucial capability for any country that wants to protect its global interests around the world. Air refueling may offer more agile and efficient airlift capabilities by increasing cargo aircraft payload and shortening airlift time. We investigated whether air refueling can shorten the total time of an airlift operation and decrease the number of cargo aircraft sorties required in a deployment scenario, especially where the distance between origin and destination is within the range of cargo aircraft. We introduced two mathematical models to compare the total airlift time and number of cargo aircraft required for given origin-destination and tanker base locations and total freight to be moved. We optimised initial cargo and fuel amount for cargo aircraft along with rendezvous point coordinates to minimise total airlift time. We used a numerical example to show that substantial airlift time and cargo aircraft sortie savings are possible through air refueling.Book Part Continued Fractions: Analysis(Cambridge Univ Press, 2008) Khrushchev, Sergey[No Abstract Available]Editorial Orthogonal Polynomials and Continued Fractions From Euler's Point of View Preface(Cambridge Univ Press, 2008) Khrushchev, Sergey[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Determination of Disaster Response Self-Efficacy and Related Factors of Nurses Working in Surgical Clinics(Cambridge Univ Press, 2025) Kulekci, Emel; Tamer, Fazilet; Tug, OzgurObjectives Disasters experienced in the world and in our country in recent years have made it necessary for health professionals to have high levels of disaster response self-efficacy. Nurses, as an important member of the health care team, have a key role in disaster management, especially in disaster response. Therefore, it is extremely important for nurses to be ready for disaster response and to have high levels of self-efficacy in disaster response. This study was conducted to determine the disaster response self-efficacy status and related factors of nurses working in surgical clinics.Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 127 nurses working in surgical clinics between June and August 2023. "Sociodemographic Data Collection Form" was used to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses and "Of the Disaster Response Self-efficacy Scale" was used to assess their disaster response self-efficacy.Results The findings of the study show that nurses working in surgical clinics have a high level of disaster preparedness. Previous on-duty disaster experience and feeling competent about disaster are positively associated with disaster response self-efficacy.Conclusions It may be recommended to provide evidence-based, high-quality, and up-to-date training programs at regular intervals to increase and maintain the emergency response competencies of nurses. The originality of this study is that it was conducted only with surgical nurses.
