Conference Object Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 21Place Management of a Creative City: the Case of Izmir(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2017) Mengi, Onur; Durmaz Drinkwater, Sıdıka Bahar; Öner, Aslı Ceylan; Velibeyoğlu, KorayThis study investigates how place management is used to render a creative city through the combination of soft factors as intangible characteristics and hard factors as tangible characteristics of the built environment. The study focuses on Izmir, Turkey; exploring its potential as an emerging creative city. The methodology is a descriptive analysis of recent urban design and planning activities of creative cities, reviews projects and strategies in Izmir. Findings provide a framework for place management tools and their strategic use for integration of art, design, creativity and knowledge in creative cities. Place management is used as a tool for image building and identity enhancement, and for quality of place to attract creative and knowledge workers. In the case of Izmir, hard factors triggered the formation process whereas soft factors have taken strengthen the initiative. However, both of them are yet not strong enough to creative public awareness and critical mass.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Monitoring Excimer Formation of Perylene Dye Molecules Within Pmma-Based Nanofiber Via Flim Method(SPIE, 2016) İnci, Mehmet Naci; Açıkgöz, Sabriye; Demir, Mustafa MuammerConfocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy method is used to obtain individual fluorescence intensity and lifetime values of aromatic Perylene dye molecules encapsulated into PMMA based nanofibers. Fluorescence spectrum of aromatic hydrocarbon dye molecules, like perylene, depends on the concentration of dye molecules and these dye molecules display an excimeric emission band besides monomeric emission bands. Due to the dimension of a nanofiber is comparable to the monomer emission wavelength, the presence of nanofibers does not become effective on the decay rates of a single perylene molecule and its lifetime remains unchanged. When the concentration of perylene increases, molecular motion of the perylene molecule is restricted within nanofibers so that excimer emission arises from the partially overlapped conformation. As compared to free excimer emission of perylene, time-resolved experiments show that the fluorescence lifetime of excimer emission of perylene, which is encapsulated into NFs, gets shortened dramatically. Such a decrease in the lifetime is measured to be almost 50 percent, which indicates that the excimer emission of perylene molecules is more sensitive to change in the surrounding environment due to its longer wavelength. Fluorescence lifetime measurements are typically used to confirm the presence of excimers and to construct an excimer formation map of these dye molecules.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Documentation of Historic Structures for the Assessment of Heritage Characteristics(Locke Science Publishing Company Inc., 2011) Turan, Mine; Akbaylar, İpekCorrect identification of heritage characteristics is a prerequisite for the conservation of historic structures. This study summarizes the developments in image-based documentation techniques and explores a way of combining them with conventional documentation techniques for architectural conservation. The processes of architectural photogrammetry and pictorial photography help the architect-conservator examine the many details of architectural heritage, making the assessment of heritage characteristics easier. Nevertheless, site observations and historical research are indispensable tools that support the evaluation process. A 19th centwy Ottoman church in western Turkey has been documented by combining the above techniques. Scaled drawings, a 3D model, maps on rectified image mosaics, and image albums make it possible to perceive the spatial qualities and conception of the original construction techniques, together with their alterations. The assessment results are presented in thematic tables with links to visual documents, and the heritage values and conservation problems of the church are clarified. Finally, this study illustrates one example of a successful heritage assessment leading to a conservation design.Conference Object Approximate Best Linear Unbiased Channel Estimation for Multi-Antenna Frequency Selective Channels With Applications To Digital Tv Systems(SPIE, 2004) Özen, Serdar; Pladdy, Christopher; Nerayanuru, Sreenivasa M.; Fimoff, Mark J.; Zoltowski, Michael D.We provide an iterative and a non-iterative channel impulse response (CIR) estimation algorithm for communication receivers with multiple-antenna. Our algorithm is best suited for communication systems which utilize a periodically transmitted training sequence within a continuous stream of information symbols, and the receivers for this particular system are expected work in a severe frequency selective multipath environment with long delay spreads relative to the length of the training sequence. The iterative procedure calculates the (semi-blind) Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) of the CIR. The non-iterative version is an approximation to the BLUE CIR estimate, denoted by a-BLUE, achieving almost similar performance, with much lower complexity. Indeed we show that, with reasonable assumptions, a-BLUE channel estimate can be obtained by using a stored copy of a pre-computed matrix in the receiver which enables the use of the initial CIR estimate by the subsequent equalizer tap weight calculator. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the novel algorithms for 8-VSB ATSC Digital TV system. We also provide a simulation study of the robustness of the a-BLUE algorithm to timing and carrier phase offsets.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Selection of Alternative Landfill Location by Using a Geographical Information System. European Side of Istanbul. Case Study(Technical University of Wroclaw, 2016) Demir, Göksel; Kolay, Umut E.; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Alyüz, Ümmügülsüm; Bayat, CumaOne of the most difficult tasks encountered when implementing waste management practices in Turkey involves the selection of the most suitable area for a landfill. The Geographic Information System (GIS) which possesses the ability to imitate and process economic and environmental constraints, presents itself as a useful and effective decision support tool. This study will utilize the GIS to determine feasible alternative landfill areas on the European side of Istanbul, which has a high density population, showing that accurate selection results can be achieved at lower cost.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Design of a Haptic Device for Teleoperation and Virtual Reality Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Selvi, Özgün; Bilgincan, Tunç; Kant, YalkınHaptics technology has increased the precision and telepresence of the teleoperation and precision of the in-house robotic applications by force and surface information feedback. Force feedback is achieved through sending back the pressure and force information via a haptic device as the information is created or measured at the point of interest. In order to configure such a system, design, analysis and production processes of a haptic device, which is suitable for that specific application, becomes important. Today, haptic devices find use in assistive surgical robotics and most of the teleoperation systems. These devices are also extensively utilized in simulators to train medical and military personnel. The objective of this work is to design a haptic device with a new structure that has the potential to increase the precision of the robotic operation. Thus, literature is reviewed and possible robot manipulator designs are investigated to increase the precision in haptics applications. As a result of the investigations, conceptual designs are developed. Ultimately, final design is selected and produced after it is investigated in computer-aided- design (CAD) environment and its kinematic and structural analyses are carried out.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Instability Phenomena in Microcrystalline Silicon Films(National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Finger, Friedhelm; Carius, Reinhard; Dylla, Thorsten; Klein, Stefan; Okur, Salih; Güneş, MehmetMicrocrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) for solar cell applications is investigated with respect to the material stability upon treatment of the material in various environments, followed by annealing. The material can be separated into two groups: (i) material with high crystalline volume fractions and pronounced porosity which is susceptible to in-diffusion of atmospheric gases, which, through adsorption or oxidation affect the electronic properties and (ii) compact material with high or low crystalline volume fractions which show considerably less or no influence of treatment in atmospheric gases. We report the investigation of such effects on the stability of μc-Si:H films prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition and hot wire chemical vapour deposition.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Properties of Reactive O2 Ion Beam Sputtered Tio2 on Si Wafers(National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Ulucan, Savaş; Özyüzer, Gülnur Aygün; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Eğilmez, Mehmet; Turan, RaşitTiO2 thin films were deposited on silicon (100) p-type wafers, using the reactive ion beam sputtering method in high vacuum as an alternative to conventional Argon ion beam sputtering in an O2 environment. Oxygen ions with 1000 eV energy were formed in a thruster and bombarded a high purity Ti target. The molecules of TiO2 were deposited on a Si (100) wafer at various substrate temperatures. The structural and optical properties were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in the range of 400-4000 cm-1. An ellipsometer was used to measure the thickness and refractive index of the deposited films. In order to determine the dielectric constant and capacitance of the deposited TiO2, the electrical properties were studied using an MOS capacitor. The effects of substrate temperature and deposition time on the dielectric properties of TiO2 are discussed.
