Conference Object COMPARISON OF COMPUTER-BASED PROPAGATION MODELS WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA COLLECTED IN AN URBAN AREA AT 1800 MHz(Ieee, 2015) Acar, Tarik; Caliskan, Fatma; Aydin, ElifNowadays a lot of models are set for the efficient and economic usage of frequency band since the band is a limited source. Therefore, the propagation models created for this purpose were studied in the literature. These models are Free Space Path Loss (Fspl) + Reflection plus Multiple Diffraction (RMD), COST-Hata and COST-WI models. In order to compare the success of the models, electric field strength measurements were taken in a chosen district (Mustafa Kemal Mahallesi Ankara, Turkey) where an irregular structure style can be observed. First set of measurements were recorded at random coordinates and second set of measurements were collected by the following coordinates tracking on a single line. As a conclusion, measured values were compared with the results which were taken from the mentioned models with graphical presentations. The most appropriate model was tried to be found and as another aim of the study, a correction factor was generated as a modification for COST-Hata propagation model.Article Citation - WoS: 56Best Proximity Point on Different Type Contractions(Natural Sciences Publishing Corp-nsp, 2011) Karapinar, Erdal; Erhan, Inci M.In this manuscript, some proximity points are obtained by using different types cyclic contractions.

Radial vibration-assisted milling is effective but it needs an advanced control of vibration trajectory hence is not easy to implement. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of axial ultrasonic vibrations on stability through disturbing the chip regeneration. A simple way of predicting the stability increase is proposed using missed-cut effect that reduces the effective number of teeth in cut. The axial vibrations are shown to introduce radial runout such that a regular cutter will show the characteristics of a serrated tool. For a 2-tooth bull nose cutter, the proposed method was verified by milling of Ti-6Al-4V material. The results showed that the axial ultrasonic vibrations increased limit axial depth of cut by more than 40%. Therefore, applying axial vibrations would be a simple solution to improve chatter resistance in machining difficult-to-cut materials while avoiding the cost and complexity of serrated rounded edges. The attention on using axial ultrasonic vibrations in milling is increasing, hence further research on modelling the machining dynamics combined with the velocity effects will be needed following this study.

Software development methodologies are heavily utilized to organize these individuals and keep track of the entire software development process. Although previously proposed software development methodologies meet the needs of the industry and the firms, they are not usually suitable for research-based software projects that are carried by universities and individual researchers. In this paper, we aim to show the necessity of a new software development methodology for research-based problems carried by universities. The literature review will show the differences between industry and university software projects from certain aspects. These findings will be supported by the authors own research on the area. This qualitative research involves collecting data through interviews and applying Grounded Theory to better understand the development process. © 2018 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Characterization of Satellite Transponder Impairments Based on Simulations with Test Data(Ieee, 2015) Ulubey, Orhan; Gulgonul, Senol; Kara, AliA satellite transponder simulator based on actual test data of TURKSAT 3A satellite has been developed to analyze degradation in multicarrier scenarios. Communication impairment sources through a transponder are explained in conjunction with a methodology defined to characterize total degradation resulting from them. Several transponder utilization scenarios are studied with respect to total degradation and optimum operation conditions are demonstrated.Conference Object How To Teach Usage of Equipments in a Remote Laboratory(IEEE, 2007) Alparslan, N. Ceren; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Ozen, Mustafa; Aydin, ElifEuropean Remote Radio Laboratory (ERRL) is an e-learning project for students, teachers and technicians of the universities who will use the very important devices of this laboratory remotely. These devices are very expensive to buy and can be broken easily while they have been using by the people who does not really know how to use them professionally. As a solution we have developed an e-leaming system which aims to support the ERRL learners while studying on how to use equipments in the system. The system is developed according to the electronic performance support systems (EPSS) approach. An EPSS is a computer-based, well-structured system which improves the performance of individuals. It is an electronic infrastructure that contains, stores and distributes personal (individual) or corporate knowledge to enable people to reach necessary levels of performance in the fastest possible time and with minimum teaching support of other people. This paper discusses how the content for such a system is developed and how this content is interactively used in the EPSS platform. The technical details of the developed EPSS are also discussed in this study. We believe that this paper will help instructional system designers for designing different alternatives to improve learners' performance.Article Effect of Training Based on Travelbee's Human-To Relationship Model on Prenatal Attachment, Fear of Childbirth, and Anxiety in Pregnant Women With Fear of Childbirth a Randomized Controlled Trial(Slack Inc, 2025) Sari, T.; Gürhan, N.; Guerhan, NerminPURPOSE: To investigate the effects of education provided to pregnant women with fear of childbirth according to Travelbee's Human-to-Human Relationship Model on fear of birth, prenatal attachment, and anxiety. METHOD: This prospective, randomized controlled study was conducted between June and August 2023. Participants included 62 pregnant women divided into intervention and control groups. Pregnant primiparous women who had fear of childbirth were selected for the intervention group, receiving an eight-session educational program based on Travelbee's model. RESULTS: At the end of the educational program, decreased fear of childbirth, lower anxiety, and higher prenatal attachment were detected in the intervention group. Results showed a statistically significant difference in the intervention group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Birth preparation education prepared according to Travelbee's model is an effective method for reducing pregnant women's fear of childbirth and anxiety and increasing prenatal attachment level.Article Exploring the Link Between English Language Instructors’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Satisfaction with Teaching Online(Dr. Khairi Obaid Tayyeh Al-Zubaid, 2024) Tayşı, Eda; Alagözlü, NurayThe aim of this study was to explore the relationship between English language instructors’ perceived levels of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and their satisfaction with teaching online. 205 English instructors working at universities in Turkey participated in the study. A mixed-method approach was employed for data collection, incorporating quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were obtained through the TPACK-EFL and the Online Faculty Satisfaction (OFSS) scale, while qualitative data were gathered via in-depth interviews with the instructors. The findings revealed a significant relationship between instructors' TPACK and their satisfaction with teaching online. This research carries several important implications for TPACK in language teaching and its implementation in both online and classroom settings. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
