Article Citation - Scopus: 1Polarization Sensitive Reflection and Dielectric Spectra in Gase Thin Films(Hindawi Ltd, 2016) Khanfar, Hazem K.; Qasrawi, Atef A.The light polarization effects on the optical reflective and dielectric spectra of GaSe thin films are studied in the incident light wavelength range of 200-1100 nm. In this range of measurement, the angle of incidence (theta(i)) of light was varied between 30 degrees and 80 degrees. In addition, at theta(i) of 30 degrees the light polarizing angle (delta) was altered in the range of 0-90 degrees. Regardless of the value of lambda, for all theta(i) > 65 degrees, the total reflectance sharply decreased with increasing theta(i). In addition, when theta(i) is fixed at 30 and delta was varied, the amplitudes ratio of the polarized waves exhibits a resonance-antiresonance phenomenon at a wavelength that coincides with the film's thickness (800 nm). This behavior was assigned to the coupled interference between incident and reflected waves and to the strong absorption effects. Two main resonance peaks are observed as response to s-polarized and normal incident beam: one is at similar to 540 (556 nm) and the other at similar to 420 THz (714 nm). The dielectric constant of the GaSe films exhibits anisotropic characteristics that nominate it for use as multipurpose optoelectronic devices.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 20Some Results on Best Proximity Points of Cyclic Contractions in Probabilistic Metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2015) De la Sen, Manuel; Karapinar, ErdalThis paper investigates properties of convergence of distances of p-cyclic contractions on the union of the p subsets of an abstract set X defining probabilistic metric spaces and Menger probabilistic metric spaces as well as the characterization of Cauchy sequences which converge to the best proximity points. The existence and uniqueness of fixed points and best proximity points of p-cyclic contractions defined in induced complete Menger spaces are also discussed in the case when the associate complete metric space is a uniformly convex Banach space. On the other hand, the existence and the uniqueness of fixed points of the p-composite mappings restricted to each of the p subsets in the cyclic disposal are also investigated and some illustrative examples are given.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Truncated q-bernstein Polynomials in the Case q > 1(Hindawi Ltd, 2014) Turan, MehmetThe truncated q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B-m,B-q (f; x), n is an element of N, and m is an element of N-0 emerge naturally when the q-Bernstein polynomials of functions vanishing in some neighbourhood of 0 are considered. In this paper, the convergence of the truncated q-polynomials on [0, 1] is studied. To support the theoretical results, some numerical examples are provided.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 20Coupled Coincidence Point Theorem in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces Via Implicit Relation(Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Nguyen Manh Hung; Karapinar, Erdal; Nguyen Van LuongWe prove a coupled coincidence point theorem for mappings F : X x X -> X and g : X -> X, where F has the mixed g-monotone property, in partially ordered metric spaces via implicit relations.

Examples are also given to illustrate our work.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9On Cyclic Generalized Weakly c-contractions on Partial Metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Karapinar, Erdal; Rakocevic, VladimirWe give new results of a cyclic generalized weakly C-contraction in partial metric space. The results of this paper extend, generalize, and improve some fixed point theorems in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 32Development of Decision Support Model for Selecting a Maintenance Plan Using a Fuzzy Mcdm Approach: a Theoretical Framework(Hindawi Ltd, 2018) Abdulgader, Fathia Sghayer; Eid, Rajeh; Rouyendegh (B Erdebilli), Babak DaneshvarIn complex decision making, using multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies is the most scientific way to ensure an informed and justified decision between several alternatives. MCDMs have been used in different ways and with several applications that proved their efficiency in achieving this goal. In this research, the advantages and disadvantages of the different MCDM methodologies are studied, along with the different techniques implemented to increase their accuracy and precision. The main aim of the study is to develop a hybrid MCDM process that combines the strengths of several MCDM methods and apply it to choose the best fit maintenance policy/strategy for industrial application. Moreover, fuzzy linguistic terms are utilized in all of the used MCDM techniques in order to eliminate the uncertainty and ambiguity of the results. Through an extensive literature review performed on studies that have used MCDM methods in a hybrid context and using fuzzy linguistic terms, a model is developed to use fuzzy DEMATEL-AHP-TOPSIS hybrid technique. The model with its application is the first of its kind, which combines the strengths of fuzzy DEMATEL in establishing interrelationships between several criteria, as well as performing a pairwise comparison between the criteria for prioritization using the fuzzy AHP method. Thereafter, the alternatives are compared using fuzzy TOPSIS method by establishing negative and positive solutions and calculating the relative closeness for each of the alternatives. Furthermore, six main criteria, twenty criteria, and five alternatives are selected from the literature for the model application.Article Citation - WoS: 62Best Proximity Points for Generalized α-ψ-Proximal Contractive Type Mappings(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Jleli, Mohamed; Karapinar, Erdal; Samet, BessemWe introduce a new class of non-self-contractive mappings.

This statement generates an imperative issue in emergency medical services (EMS). Designing a system that brings simplicity in locating emergency scenes is a step towards improving response time. This paper therefore implemented and evaluated the performance of an SMS-based emergency geolocation notification system with emphasis on its SMS delivery time and the system's geolocation and dispatch time. Using the RAS metrics recommended by IEEE for evaluation, the designed system was found to be efficient and effective as its reliability stood within 62.7% to 70.0% while its availability stood at 99% with a downtime of 3.65 days/year.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 7Some Almost Generalized (ψ, Φ)-Contractions in g-metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Aydi, Hassen; Amor, Sana Hadj; Karapinar, ErdalIn 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.
