Article Citation - WoS: 6A Light Bulb in Every House the Istanbul General Electric Factory and American Technology Transfer To Turkey(Johns Hopkins Univ Press, 2022) Tunc, Tanfer Emin; Tunc, GokhanIn 1946, Turkish entrepreneur Vehbi Koc signed an agreement with the U.S. firm General Electric to build and operate its first light bulb factory in the Near/Middle East, in Istanbul. This private joint venture introduced new manufacturing techniques, business practices, and consumer habits to Turkey, opening channels of postwar technological exchange. Closer examination of the GE-Koc partnership reveals that during the early Cold War, the transfer and embedding of American technologies in Turkey was a politically complicated process of innovation that required constant adaptation. Fraught with unforeseeable obstacles, it also required cautious negotiation with multiple transnational actors. The story of the GE-Koc partnership thus adds a new dimension to historical understandings of the Turkish Cold War experience and the Americanization of the region. It illustrates how transferring a nonmilitary, soft-power, domestic technologythe light bulb-played a significant role in Turkish-American relations and therefore contributes to studies of U.S. Cold War diplomacy through transnational investment in innovation.Book Part Kinetics of Co2 Capture by Carbon Dioxide Binding Organic Liquids(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2016) Orhan, Ozge Yuksel; Kayi, Hakan; Alper, Erdogan[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Strong D*2(2460)0 → D+π- Transition in QCD(E D P Sciences, 2014) Sarac, Y.; Azizi, K.; Sundu, H.This work presents the analysis of the transition D*(2)(2460)(0) > D+pi(-). In the calculation three point QCD sum rules method is applied and the value of the coupling constant for the considered vertex is obtained as gD*(2) D pi = (12.72 +/- 3.56) GeV-1.The result of the calculation is also utilized in the decay width and branching ratio calculations of the considered transition.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Steady Mixed Convection in a Heated Lid-Driven Square Cavity Filled With a Fluid-Saturated Porous Medium(Springer Verlag, 2015) Pekmen,B.; Pekmen, Bengisen; Tezer-Sezgin,M.; Pekmen, Bengisen; Mathematics; MathematicsSteady mixed convection flow in a porous square cavity with moving side walls is studied numerically using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). The equations governing the two-dimensional, steady, laminar mixed convection flow of an incompressible fluid are solved for various values of parameters as Darcy (Da), Grashof (Gr), and Prandtl (Pr) numbers. The results are given in terms of vorticity contours, streamlines and isotherms. Further, average Nusselt number variations with respect to the problem parameters are also presented. The fluid flows slowly as Da decreases since the permeability of the medium decreases, and the increase in Grashof number causes the flow to pass to the natural convective behavior. DRBEM has the advantage of using considerably small number of grid points due to the boundary only nature of the method. This provides the numerical procedure computationally cheap and efficient. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.Conference Object Inverse Spectral Problems for Complex Jacobi Matrices(Springer New York LLC, 2013) Guseinov,G.S.The paper deals with two versions of the inverse spectral problem for finite complex Jacobi matrices. The first is to reconstruct the matrix using the eigenvalues and normalizing numbers (spectral data) of the matrix. The second is to reconstruct the matrix using two sets of eigenvalues (two spectra), one for the original Jacobi matrix and one for the matrix obtained by deleting the last row and last column of the Jacobi matrix. Uuniqueness and existence results for solution of the inverse problems are established and an explicit procedure of reconstruction of the matrix from the spectral data is given. It is shown how the results can be used to solve finite Toda lattices subject to the complex-valued initial conditions. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013.Article Steady mixed convection in a heated lid-driven square cavity filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium(Springer Verlag, 2015) Pekmen,B.; Tezer-Sezgin,M.Steady mixed convection flow in a porous square cavity with moving side walls is studied numerically using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM).

The hydrothermal system was isolated from the environment and hydrothermal reactions were allowed to execute at 130 degrees C for 36 h at autogeneous pressure, and at a stirring rate of 250 rpm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that TiO2 nanofibers formed instead of nanotubes upon utilization of amorphous TiO2 precursor. After hydrothermal synthesis, the powders were acid treated by HCl several times. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identified that the synthesized powders were Na-titanate and remained Na-titanate even after subjecting to acidic treatments several times. The photocatalytic performance of the powders was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution in UV illumination. Results were compared with nanotubes which were synthesized previously using P25 commercial titania powder and have shown that TiO2 in tubular structure offers better photocatalytic performance for the degradation of MB solution under UV illumination as compared to fiber-like structure.
