    Ephesos in a Capitalist World
    (Green Lines inst Sustainable development, 2010) Akture, Z.
    In this paper, the use of the registered site of Ephesos for archaeological excavations and restorations that enliven tourism activities is analyzed as a response to mechanisms of the competitive market in our capitalist world, by putting the site to its socially most valued use and harvesting its productive capacity. The question remains whether the transformation of Ephesos into Turkey's most important tourism capital as such legitimizes its preservation as archaeological heritage, in the sense of public approval at large. The discussion is carried along the axis of property rights to decide whether or not a legitimacy crisis is being experienced in the Ephesos case. This is done by adopting Habermas' definition of crisis in accord with the idea of sustainability, as 'the phase of an illness in which it is decided whether or not the organism's self-healing powers are sufficient for recovery', to scrutinize the sustainability of preserving our archaeological heritage through tourism activities.

    Teaching Accelerated Computing with Hands-On Experience
    (IEEE Computer Soc, 2025) Oz, Isil; Iheme, Leonardo O.
    Heterogeneous computing systems maintain high-performance executions with parallel hardware resources. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) with many parallel efficient cores and high-bandwidth memory structures enable accelerated computing for high-performance, deep learning, and embedded programs from diverse domains. The expertise in GPU programming requires a significant effort to utilize parallel computational units efficiently. Teaching programming for heterogeneous systems also becomes difficult due to dedicated hardware requirements and up-to-date course materials. In this paper, we present our teaching experience in an undergraduate parallel programming course, where we adopt NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute workshop and teaching kit contents and GPU devices at different scales to expose students to a set of hardware platforms with hands-on coding experience.

    A Capsular Polysaccharide from a Healthy Human Microbiota Member Activates a Lag-3-NK Cell Axis to Restrain Colon Cancer and Augment Immunotherapy
    (Cell Press, 2025) Weis, Allison M.; Tang, William W.; Stephen-Victor, Emmanuel; Bell, Rickesha; Brown, D. Garrett; Round, June L.
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing globally, making identification of preventative measures necessary. Transplantation of the microbiota from CRC and non-CRC patients into mice demonstrates that non-diseased individuals possess organisms that reduce tumor formation and highlights Bacteriodes uniformis as protective. B. uniformis is reduced in humans with CRC, and proactive treatment with B. uniformis slows tumor growth in mice. Natural killer (NK) cells, but not T cells, are required for B. uniformis-mediated protection. CRC is recalcitrant to immunotherapies; however, addition of B. uniformis restores response to alpha-CTLA-4 treatment in an NK cell-dependent manner. We report that high Lag-3 expression is associated with greater survival in CRC patients and that B. uniformis-mediated protection is reliant on Lag-3 in innate cells. Induction of NK cell activity and reduced tumor growth is dependent on a specific B. uniformis capsular polysaccharide. Thus, healthy individuals possess tumor suppressor microbes that prevent cancer development and can be harnessed therapeutically.

    Reconfigurable Polyhedral Mechanisms Using Scissor-Like Elements with Cantellation Transformation Between Dual Geometries
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Liao, Yuan; Kiper, Gokhan; Krishnan, Sudarshan
    Deployable polyhedron mechanisms (DPMs) have garnered significant interest in architecture, aerospace, and robotics, where reconfigurable and space-efficient structures are crucial. This paper presents a tangential design method for DPMs using scissor-like elements (SLEs). Scissor units are placed along the edges of an equilateral polyhedron, tangential to its midsphere. This method enables the mechanisms to transform between a polyhedron and its dual, following the cantellation operation. Using screw theory, the kinematic properties of these mechanisms are analyzed. Results show that the DPMs exhibit 1-degree of freedom (DOF) under normal conditions and gain additional DOFs at multifurcation points, allowing for reconfigurable motion modes. Physical models based on various geometries, including Platonic, Archimedean, Johnson, and Catalan solids, help to validate the method's feasibility. Observations indicate that this method is only applicable to equilateral supporting polyhedra. The transformability and reconfigurability observed in these mechanisms demonstrate the potential of this approach for applications in architecture, aerospace, and robotics.

    The Influence of The Bauhaus Approach on Industrial Ceramic Design
    (Anadolu Univ, 2025) Dogukan, Hazal
    The desire to move away from traditionalism caused by the intense discussions on art in the 19th and 20th centuries and to break traditional patterns that followed, initiated the search for new concepts, methods and techniques. In the Bauhaus School, the subjects of art and craft, form and meaning, aesthetics and function were reconsidered through different materials. Ceramics are also among the materials that gained a new meaning with Bauhaus. Before Bauhaus, ceramics, which were processed with detailed patterns and forms through handicraft and accepted as a traditional material, gained a modern and industrial identity in Bauhaus with standardized molds, forms suitable for function, far from processing and ornamentation. Bauhaus Ceramics Workshop has revealed approaches and methods that guide industrial ceramic design. The pots made by craftsmen have given way to minimal products designed with basic design principles and having a conceptual substructure. This innovation has formed the basis of the minimalism approach in today's industrial design. In line with the ideas and radical approach of the Bauhaus school, which started a new era for the field of design, this study aims to investigate the effects of the school on today's industrial ceramic product design, and many data found in the literature were used and content analysis was made on ceramic products made by Bauhaus artists. Bauhaus interpretations and reflections in industrial design were discussed. By presenting the Bauhaus references in ceramic product design, the study aims to contribute to the literature and offer a new perspective to researchers and designers in the field.

    Deposition of (La,Sr)CoO₃-δ and (La,Sr)₂CoO₄-δ Cathode Layers on Gadolinia-Doped Ceria by Electrospray Deposition
    (Springer, 2025) Ergen, Emre; Akkurt, Sedat
    La-, Sr-, and Co-based oxides have proven their performances in the cathode layers of intermediate temperature levels of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), and hence have been frequently studied. They are deposited on the electrolyte layer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), screen printing, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), etc. The electrospray deposition (ESD) proved itself as an effective and facile method for cathode deposition. Cathode layers deposited on gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) with the compositions of (La0.5Sr0.5)CoO3, (La0.8Sr0.2)CoO3, (La0.5Sr0.5)2CoO4, and (La0.8Sr0.2)2CoO4 are known to provide low resistance values which are critical in cell performance. In this study, ESD is used for the first time as the coating method of these compositions. Area-specific resistance (ASR) measurements made by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed promising results. Particularly, the sample coated in (La0.5Sr0.5)CoO3 composition showed an ASR value of 0.11 Omega.cm2 at 700 degrees C. ESD showed the ability to control the cathode coating microstructure by controlling the spraying parameters.

    Making Hierarchically Aware Decisions on Short Findings for Automatic Summarisation
    (Elsevier, 2025) Inan, Emrah
    An impression in a typical radiology report emphasises critical information by providing a conclusion and reasoning based on the findings. However, the findings and impression sections of these reports generally contain brief texts, as they highlight crucial observations derived from the clinical radiograph. In this scenario, abstractive summarisation models often experience a degradation in performance when generating short impressions. To address this challenge in the summarisation task, our work proposes a method that combines well-known fine-tuned text classification and abstractive summarisation language models. Since fine-tuning a language model requires an extensive, well-defined training dataset and is a time-consuming task dependent on high GPU resources, we employ prompt engineering, which uses prompt templates to programme language models and improve their performance. Our method first predicts whether the given findings text is normal or abnormal by leveraging a fine-tuned language model. Then, we apply a radiology-specific BART model to generate the summary for abnormal findings. In the zero-shot setting, our method achieves remarkable results compared to existing approaches on a real-world dataset. In particular, our method achieves scores of 37.43 for ROUGE-1, 21.72 for ROUGE-2, and 35.52 for ROUGE-L.

    A Critical Analysis of Pulverization Mechanism During Hydrogen Decrepitation of End-Of Ndfeb Magnets
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Habibzadeh, Alireza; Gokelma, Mertol
    Given the increasing demand and limited availability of rare earth elements (REEs), innovative solutions are critical to managing supply risks. Recycling is a key strategy in mitigating these risks, particularly for NdFeB magnets, which consume a large portion of REEs. Among the various recycling processes, hydrogen decrepitation (HD) has gained popularity due to its efficiency in producing fine powders for magnet-to-magnet recycling. While the HD mechanism is commonly attributed to hydride formation in the Nd-rich grain boundary phase, this study presents new findings that challenge this assumption. Through the hydrogenation of End-of-Life (EoL) NdFeB magnets at temperatures ranging from 25 to 400 & ring;C, the results indicate that the primary mechanism of pulverization arises from hydride formation in the Nd2Fe14B matrix rather than in the Nd-rich phase, especially at low temperatures where NdH2 formation is kinetically unfavorable. This revised mechanism was supported by evidence from X-ray diffraction, BSE and SE-SEM imaging, particle size analysis, diffusion modeling, and stress analysis.

    Modules Whose Maximal Submodules Have Τ-Supplements
    (Luhansk Taras Shevchenko Natl Univ, 2010) Buyukasik, Engin
    Let R be a ring and tau be a preradical for the category of left R-modules. In this paper, we study on modules whose maximal submodules have tau-supplements. We give some characterizations of these modules interms their certain submodules, so called tau-localsubmodules. For some certain preradicals tau, i.e. tau=delta and idempotent tau, we prove that every maximal submodule of M has a tau-supplement if and only if every cofinite submodule of M has a tau-supplement. For a radical tau onR-Mod, we prove that, forevery R-module every submodule is a tau-supplement if and only if R/tau(R) is semisimple and tau is hereditary

    Design Education for Adaptive Reuse
    (Archnet-ijar, 2010) Eyuce, Ozen; Eyuce, Ahmet
    Builtform is subject to various types of obsolences in the course of time. Among these functional obsolesences, taking place as an outcome of ever changing modes of production and consumption, are of crucial importance so far as their fate of existing urban fabric is concerned. Defunct buildings become derelict and often subject to demolition which amounts to the eradication of the collective memory. In this connection the process of adaptive reuse can be defined as the task of adjusting functionally obsolete buildings for new program requirements through building conversion. Adaptive reuse projects entail not only alterations within the boundaries of an existing building envolope but also radical changes/transformations in the space configuration so as to accomodate the new set of functional requirements. Therefore, the development of an architectural design scheme in the light of potentials offered and the constraints imposed by an existing architectural entity is essential. Although adaptive reuse projects require case specific approaches depending on the peculiarities of the original structure three main areas of concern can be discerned during the elaboration of the design scheme. These areas of concerns are the space configuration, tectonic aspects of the context within which the project will be realized. The paper addresses itself to the elucidation of these concern areas and the interrelations with the final scheme.
