Conference Object Citation - WoS: 24Effect of pH and Hydration on the Normal and Lateral Interaction Forces Between Alumina Surfaces(2006) Polat, Mehmet; Sato, Kimiyasu; Nagaoka, Takaaki; Watari, KojiNormal and lateral interaction forces between alumina surfaces were measured using Atomic Force Microscopy-Colloid Probe Method at different pH. The normal force curves exhibit a well-defined repulsive barrier and an attractive minimum at acidic pH and the DLVO theory shows excellent agreement with the data. The normal forces are always repulsive at basic pH and the theory fails to represent the measurements. Lateral forces are almost an order of magnitude smaller in the basic solutions. These differences, which have important implications in the study of stability and rheology, are attributed to the hydration of the alumina surface at basic pH. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Online Urban Information Systems(IGI Global, 2008) Yigitcanlar, Tan; Saygin, ÖmürCountless factors affect the inner workings of a city, so in an attempt to gain an understanding of place and making sound decisions, planners need to utilize decision support systems (DSS) or planning support systems (PSS). PSS were originally developed as DSS in academia for experimental purposes, but like many other technologies, they became one of the most innovative technologies in parallel to rapid developments in software engineering as well as developments and advances in networks and hardware. Particularly, in the last decade, the awareness of PSS have been dramatically heightened with the increasing demand for a better, more reliable and furthermore a transparent decision-making process (Klosterman, Siebert, Hoque, Kim, & Parveen, 2003). Urban planning as an act has quite different perspective from the PSS point of view. The unique nature of planning requires that spatial dimension must be considered within the context of PSS. Additionally, the rapid changes in socio-economic structure cannot be easily monitored or controlled without an effective PSS. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Urban Information Systems in Turkish Local Governments(IGI Global, 2008) Velibeyoǧlu, KoraySince the end of 1980s, different sectors have implemented geographical information systems (GIS) in Turkey. A study on GIS market in Turkey indicates that municipalities are the primary customers (Gülersoy & Yigiter, 1999). One of the earliest GIS projects in Turkey began with the production of digital maps covering the boundaries of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 1987. Since 1994, a rapid development process has occurred with the widespread diffusion of GIS especially in universities and large public sector organizations respectively. However, the early city-wide municipal GIS projects were initiated only after 1996 (Ucuzal, 1999). © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Information and Communication Technology for E-Regions(IGI Global, 2008) Velibeyoǧlu, Koray; Yigitcanlar, TanInformation and communication technologies (ICTs) are essential components of the knowledge economy, and have an immense complementary role in innovation, education, knowledge creation, and relations with government, civil society, and business within city regions. The ability to create, distribute, and exploit knowledge has become a major source of competitive advantage, wealth creation, and improvements in the new regional policies. Growing impact of ICTs on the economy and society, rapid application of recent scientific advances in new products and processes, shifting to more knowledge-intensive industry and services, and rising skill requirements have become crucial concepts for urban and regional competitiveness. Therefore, harnessing ICTs for knowledge-based urban development (KBUD) has a significant impact on urban and regional growth (Yigitcanlar, 2005). In this sense, e-region is a novel concept utilizing ICTs for regional development. Since the Helsinki European Council announced Turkey as a candidate for European Union (EU) membership in 1999, the candidacy has accelerated the speed of regional policy enhancements and adoption of the European regional policy standards. These enhancements and adoption include the generation of a new regional spatial division, NUTS-II statistical regions; a new legislation on the establishment of regional development agencies (RDAs); and new orientations in the field of high education, science, and technology within the framework of the EU’s Lisbon Strategy and the Bologna Process. The European standards posed an ambitious new agenda in the development and application of contemporary regional policy in Turkey (Bilen, 2005). In this sense, novel regional policies in Turkey necessarily endeavor to include information society objectives through efficient use of new technologies such as ICTs. Such a development seeks to be based on tangible assets of the region (Friedmann, 2006) as well as the best practices deriving from grounding initiatives on urban and local levels. These assets provide the foundation of an e-region that harnesses regional development in an information society context. With successful implementations, the Marmara region’s local governments in Turkey are setting the benchmark for the country in the implementation of spatial information systems and e-governance, and moving toward an e-region. Therefore, this article aims to shed light on organizational and regional realities of recent practices of ICT applications and their supply instruments based on evidence from selected local government organizations in the Marmara region. This article also exemplifies challenges and opportunities of the region in moving toward an e-region and provides a concise review of different ICT applications and strategies in a broader urban and regional context. The article is organized in three parts. The following section scrutinizes the e-region framework and the role of ICTs in regional development. Then, Marmara’s opportunities and challenges in moving toward an e-region are discussed in the context of ICT applications and their supply instruments based on public-sector projects, policies, and initiatives. Subsequently, the last section discusses conclusions and prospective research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Strengthening the Knowledge-Base of Cities Through ICT Strategies(IGI Global, 2008) Yigitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoǧlu, KorayThe chapter sets out to explain the KBD processes and challenges and opportunities in information acceptance and use in urban policy making. This chapter draws on providing a clear understanding on policy frameworks and relevant ICT applications of the Queensland Smart State experience. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Effect of Blending Conditions on the Properties of Epdm/Organoclay Nanocomposites(International Committee on Composite Materials, 2009) Karşal,C.; Tanoǧlu,M.; Odabaş,S.; Ersoy,O.G.; Karakaya,N.The effects of blending conditions on the microstructural and mechanical properties of EPDM / organo modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites at various clay loadings were investigated. The effects of the processing conditions were manifested in both the morphology and mechanical properties, which showed significant increase when optimized process conditions are applied.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 9Chemical Composition and Health Aspects of Chestnut (castanea Spp.)(CRC Press, 2008) Korel,F.; Balaban,M.Ö.[No abstract available]Book Part Reading Into the Mysteries of Artemis Ephesia(Taylor and Francis, 2009) Aktüre,Z.On 18 September 1956, Franz Miltner, head of the Austrian team of archaeologists working at the ancient site of Ephesos, near modern Selçuk in the Izmir province of Turkey, was informed by an enthusiastic Turkish excavation worker about the unearthing of a golden statue in the Prytaneion (see triptych1).2 On closer examination, the statue turned out to be not gold but, most probably, coated in gold on the upper half. The perfectly worked marble statue was named ‘Artemis the Beautiful’ by Miltner on the basis of its high-quality workmanship, distinguishing it from the later-discovered ‘Artemis the Colossal’, again from the Prytaneion, thus named because of its size. A third, smaller-than-life-size statue again from the Prytaneion would soon join the two.3 © 2009 Selection and editorial matter, Sarah Chaplin and Alexandra Stara; individual chapters, the contributors.

Learning is essential in project-based environments. The one-of-a-kind structure of the operations of architectural design firms triggers special learning needs and requires a continuous learning activity. Learning is considered to improve an architectural design firm’s efficiency by recognizing the role of individuals in enhancing the firm’s objectives. However, theoretical research on individual professionals’ learning process in the architectural design is rather uncommon. The process of individual learning is composed of (1) data acquisition (2) assessment of the acquired information and (3) implementation of the knowledge gained in a group setting. Ten factors were identified to assess the effectiveness of the learning processes of professionals. This study is the first study in the field of architecture that presents a conceptual model about the factors that affect the effectiveness of the learning process of professionals. © 2010 Taylor and Francis Group, London, UK.Book Part Curating the Nation: Turkish Pavilions in World Expositions(Taylor and Francis, 2009) Young,S.Y.World expositions predate the Republic of Turkey. They came into existence 72 years before the foundation of the Republic, in 1851, with London’s Great Exhibition. As Timothy Mitchell has stated, these were events to which ‘the “whole world” was to be invited in to see a fantastic and yet systematic profusion of material goods, all the new necessities and desires that modern capitalism could order up and display’.1 The nineteenth-century world expositions gave the opportunity to learn more about other cultures – those of the colonies and of potential new markets. During the nineteenth century, what accompanied the encounter with others was a curiosity to learn the place of one’s own nation in the world and an expectation to be convinced of its superiority over others. After all, world expositions were ‘great new rituals of self congratulation’.2 Consequently, while physically bringing different nations together, expo grounds were conceptually setting them apart. From the placement of the display grounds to the representations of other cultures, the world was hierarchically categorized into a modern, progressive West and its others. © 2009 Selection and editorial matter, Sarah Chaplin and Alexandra Stara; individual chapters, the contributors.
