The population of the study in the general screening model is composed of 60 to 66-month old children attending to independent preschools registered by the Ministry of National Education in Konya, Turkey. The sample of this study is selected through stratified sampling method among schools, which represent families and their children of three different socio-e ...Daha fazlası

ARDIS: a Swedish historical handwritten digit dataset

CHEDDAD, Abbas | GRAHN, Håkan | HALL, Johan | KUSETOĞULLARI, Hüseyin | YAVARIABDI, Amir

This paper introduces a new image-based handwritten historical digit dataset named Arkiv Digital Sweden (ARDIS). The images in ARDIS dataset are extracted from 15,000 Swedish church records which were written by different priests with various handwriting styles in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The constructed dataset consists of three single-digit datasets and one-digit string dataset. The digit string dataset includes 10,000 samples in red–green–blue color space, whereas the other datasets contain 7600 single-digit images in different color spaces. An extensive analysis of machine l ...Daha fazlası

Welding Seam Profiling Techniques Based On Active Vision Sensing For İntelligent Robotic Welding

MUHAMMAD, Jawad | ALTUN, Halis | ABO-SERIE, Essam

Intelligent robotic welding involves replicating the role of a manual professional welder to adaptively control the welding process. This is necessary to achieve accurate, fast and high-quality welding process in addition to the challenging factors for humans to operate in the welding environment. Therefore, robotic welding exists since the early days of robotics and it is still an active research area. This is why there have been numerous researches in this area for a very long time. Among various techniques proposed by researchers for the adaptive control of the robotic welding process, visi ...Daha fazlası

Multiplicity and transverse momentum evolution of charge-dependent correlations in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

We report on two-particle charge-dependent correlations in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions as a function of the pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle difference, Δη and Δφ respectively. These correlations are studied using the balance function that probes the charge creation time and the development of collectivity in the produced system. The dependence of the balance function on the event multiplicity as well as on the trigger and associated particle transverse momentum (pT) in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=7, 5.02, and 2.76 TeV, respectively, are presented. In the low transverse mome ...Daha fazlası

Mobile Subscriber Profiling and Personal Service Generation using Location Awareness

ÖZTOPRAK, Kasım

In the mobile environment, the location and the next move of subscribers are important. In this study, a method to detect the next move of the subscribers is proposed. In addition to the categorization of subscribers by using their Internet usage history, the knowledge of the next move pattern of subscribers will provide the flexibility to guide them to decide the next move. During the tracking of subscribers, the mobile devices of the subscribers are used as sensors to get in-depth knowledge about their preferences in their social life. The method presented here is the first in the literature ...Daha fazlası

MOSTAVAFI SHIRAZI, Seyedeh Fatemeh

This chapter presents the subject area of the Internet as an international form of media and examines related issues. It begins by considering the Internet as a source of information in various forms of social network sites that enables any individual to post their experiences, opinions and evaluations of tourism destination. This provides a summary of the existing state of knowledge concerning to social network sites and word of mouth (WMO) recommendation. In addition, it serves to clarify the associated word of mouth and market share development. Introduction Using the Internet as an interna ...Daha fazlası

İşitme Kayıplı Bireylerin Ebeveynlerine Yönelik Aile Eğitim Programı Uygulaması Ve Programın Ebeveynler Üzerindeki Etkisinin İncelenmesi

KIZILTAŞ, Mustafa

Çocuklar yaşamın ilk yıllarını öncelikle bir aile ortamında geçirdikleri için evde alınan eğitim, sonraki yılların temelini oluşturmaktadır. Bu bakımdan ailenin eğitimiyle çocuğun gelişimi arasında doğru orantı vardır. Bir aile eğitimi uygulaması olan bu çalışma, işitme kayıplı bireye sahip ebeveynlerin, ebeveynlik becerilerini ve bilgilerini geliştirmesi, çocuklarının gelişimini desteklemesi ve karşılaşılan sorunlarla başa çıkabilme yöntemlerini keşfetmesi, aile yapısını güçlendirmesi ve aile üyelerinin daha sağlıklı ve mutlu olmalarını sağlayacak bilgi ve becerileri kazandırması açısından ön ...Daha fazlası

SpEnD: Linked Data SPARQL Endpoints Discovery Using Search Engines

YUMUŞAK, Semih | DOĞDU, Erdoğan | KODAZ, Halife | KAMILARIS, Andreas | VANDENBUSSCHE, Pierre-Yves

Linked data endpoints are online query gateways to semantically annotated linked data sources. In order to query these data sources, SPARQL query language is used as a standard. Although a linked data endpoint (i.e. SPARQL endpoint) is a basic Web service, it provides a platform for federated online querying and data linking methods. For linked data consumers, SPARQL endpoint availability and discovery are crucial for live querying and semantic information retrieval. Current studies show that availability of linked datasets is very low, while the locations of linked data endpoints change frequ ...Daha fazlası

Temperature measurements in a capacitive system of deep loco-regional hyperthermia.

ŞAHİNBAŞ, Hüseyin | ROSCH, Martin | DEMİRAY, Mutlu

Hyperthermia has been shown to be a medically useful procedure applicable for different indications. For the connection between clinical effects and heat, it is important to understand the actual temperatures achieved in the tissue. There are limited temperature data available when using capacitive hyperthermia devices even though this is worldwide the most widespread method for loco-regional heating. Hence, this study examines temperature measurements using capacitive heating. Bioequivalent phantoms were used for the measurements, which, however, do not consider perfusion in live tissue.

MIPs and Aptamers for Recognition of Proteins in Biomimetic Sensing

MENGER, Marcus | YARMAN, Aysu | ERDŐSSY, Júlia | YILDIZ, Hüseyin Bekir | GYURCSÁNYI, Róbert Ervin | SCHELLER, Frieder Wolfram

Biomimetic binders and catalysts have been generated in order to substitute the biological pendants in separation techniques and bioanalysis. The two major approaches use either "evolution in the test tube" of nucleotides for the preparation of aptamers or total chemical synthesis for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The reproducible production of aptamers is a clear advantage, whilst the preparation of MIPs typically leads to a population of polymers with different binding sites. The realization of binding sites in the total bulk of the MIPs results in a higher binding capacity, however ...Daha fazlası
