Towards A More Socially Inclusive Urban Space Stimulated By Sports: The Case Of 19 Mayis Sports District, AnkaraBican, Nezih Burak 01 July 2009 (has links) (PDF)
The thesis puts forward the problematic situation in the very urban center of Ankara with an
analytical method to investigate the roots of several problems. Building its argument on historical
facts, in depth observations, and political, social, and urban analysis, it proposes a rational basis
for the rehabilitation of 19 Mayis Sports District, mainly focusing on the means of elevating the
physical quality through the capacity of social inclusion concerning the sports activity settings
and places in the region. All in all, the basic argument stands on the belief that the spatial basis of
the 19 Mayis Sports District and the neighboring urban tissue around it might be re-defined and
rehabilitated, if only its historical, political, ideological, and socio-cultural bases are redefined.
Therefore, the study searches for rehabilitation of the 19 Mayis Sports District in Ulus, Ankara,
by adapting and integrating sports with other cultural collective practices, and defining it as an
alternative life-style for citizens. Because the district lays on the second division of Atatü / rk
Culture Center Region, a sports culture and its policy should be defined and designed for to
amend that division of the region by preparing a principal master plan for the region and for the
division.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the functioning of teacher unions and provide feedback to union managements, members of the unions, teachers, academics and education officials concerning TQM applications in teacher unions by investigating the implementation degree of TQM principles in teacher unions in Ankara. Several studies have been done on the implementation of TQM in the field of education mainly for state/private schools and state/private universities / nevertheless, no researches have been carried out regarding TQM applications in teacher unions which is an important stakeholder in Turkish education system with more than 400.000 members. A Total Quality Management Questionnaire was developed by the researcher based on the existing literature on basic TQM principles to be applied to union members in state schools in Ankara. Descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data obtained. The results revealed no difference between Egitim-Sen and Tü / rk Egitim-Sen members&rsquo / perceptions concerning the application of 38 TQM proposals in their unions. However, Mann-Whitney U results yielded significant differences on the application of 16 TQM proposals included in the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics results also revealed that more than half of the union members were not aware whether the TQM proposals were applied in their unions or not and about 40% of the members participated in the study perceive that TQM principles are implemented in their unions.
Keywords: Total Quality Management, Teacher Unions, Egitim-Sen and Tü / rk Egitim-Sen

Post-paleogene Deformation In Northernmost Tip Of Tuzgolu Fault Zone (pasadag, South Of Ankara), TurkeyCeliker, Dilara Gulcin 01 December 2009 (has links) (PDF)
The research area is located to the northern tip of Tuzgolu fault zone in the junction of neotectonic structures, namely, EskiSehir-Cihanbeyli, Sungurlu-Kirikkale and Tuzgö / lü / fault zones (Central Anatolia).
The study is carried out in Paleocene sequences of PaSadag group on the structural analysis of bed, gash vein, fault and fault plane slippage data. The method of study based on i) the rose and stereo analysis of the planar structure (beds, gash veins and faults) on ROCKWORKS 2009 software and ii) on fault slip analysis on ANGELIER 1979 software.
The bed analyses done on 605 measurements manifest N10° / -20° / E bedding attitude. The analysis done on 64 gash veins shows a general trend of NNE-SSW (N15° / E). The final analysis done on 160 fault planes pointed out a general trend of NNWSSE (N20° / W).
Analysis based on the fault plane slip data manifest two stages of faulting under almost NE-SW compression during post-Paleocene &ndash / pre-Miocene period and one stage of faulting under WNW-ESE extension most probably during post-Miocene.
To conclude, the Paleocene sequences are deformed continuously under WNW-ESE directed compression which is followed by a NE-SW to N-S compression resulted in the development of a reverse to dextral strike slip faulting during post-Paleocene &ndash / pre-Miocene period.

Analysis Of Turkish Art Music Songs Via Fractal DimensionTarikci, Abdurrahman 01 February 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Forty songs are randomly selected from four randomly selected maqams. Songs are restricted to be in sofyan usü / l (sofyan rhythmic form) to check the statistical significance. Next, fractal dimensions of the these songs are calculated by using two different method and two different scattering diagrams. In the first method, fractal dimensions are calculated via two different box sizes. As for second method, successively decreased box sizes are used. In addition, standard deviation and mean values of the fractal dimensions are calculated to check the relation between fractal dimension and maqam. T test and F test are applied to check the statistical significance. After these calculations, it is verified that fractal dimension can be used as an information source concerning the Turkish art music songs which are nonlinear dynamical systems. Moreover, it is showed that maqams can have their own fractal dimension for low resolutions. On the other hand, it is seen that for high resolutions all songs have almost same fractal dimension.

Alpha-beta Transition In QuartzLider, Mustafa Cem 01 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Alpha-Beta transition in quartz is studied using the Raman scattering. The Raman frequencies
of some lattice modes are analyzed at various temperatures close to the alpha beta transition
in quartz. For this analysis, the experimental data from the literature is used and the soft mode
behavior of those Raman phonons is investigated . On the basis of the predictions of some
models, the temperature dependencies for the Raman frequencies of the lattice modes which
move towards zero (soft mode) and their bandwidths close to the transition temperature Tc are
explained for the alpha-beta transition in quartz. In addition, by using the experimental volume
data from literature, calculation of the temperature dependence of the Raman frequencies
through the Grü / neisen parameter have been studied near the phase transition.

The Examimnation Of Metal Working Technology In Kultepe In Assyrian Trade Colonies PeriodErcanli, Levent 01 February 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Metal played important role in the social and economic development of societies since its discovery. It is so important that the some part of humankind historical development were designated by the type of metal which was extensively used depending upon the level of technology of that period enabling the processing of metal like bronze age and iron age.
In this frame, the rich metal deposits of Anatolia made this region a very important metal working and civilization center.
Kü / ltepe where it was the center of the trade organization in Anatolia realized between Assur and Anatolia during 1945-1730 B.C called Assyrian Trade Colonies Period was one of the most important metal working center of Anatolia at that
period.
In this thesis, it is aimed to make a contribution to understand the metal working technology in Kü / ltepe by examining the uncovered metal artifacts dated to that period.
For this purpose, the metal artifacts uncovered from Kü / ltepe Ancient Site belonging to Colonies Period which are exhibited in the Anatolian Civilization Museum were examined by portable XRF (PXRF) to obtain the quantity of elements
that constituted the artifacts without giving any harm to the artifact.
Besides the examination of exhibited artifacts in the Anatolian Civilization Museum, the uncovered metal artifact parts belonging to Colonies Period which are not suitable for exhibition and separated for studying were examined by energy
dispersive X-ray unit of scanning electron microscope for elemental analysis and by X-ray diffraction for the analysis of minerals.
The microstructures of artifacts were examined by scanning electron microscope and optical microscope for revealing the operations on metal applied by ancient metalsmith.
In addition to analysis mentioned above, in order to make a contribution to understand the copper trade between Kü / ltepe and its environs lead isotope analysis of some samples from the separated metal artifacts for studying was also performed.
As a result of all those analyses, it was concluded that Kü / ltepe ancient metalsmiths in Colonies Period had the knowledge to smelt the copper and to pour molten metal into a mold to produce an object of desired shape. Moreover, they also discovered that the addition of some elements to copper hardens the structure. In this frame the bronze to be obtained by deliberately adding of tin to copper was attained.
In addition, they were aware of shaping the casted object by hammering. In the meantime, they had the knowledge of heat treatment that allows them forging the object many times till giving the desired shape without causing the fracture in the structure.

A Study On Flood Management Practices For GuzelyurtSahin, Erdal 01 August 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This study deals with the investigation of characteristics of a flash flood and development of design of flood mitigation facilities occurred in Gü / zelyurt in North Cyprus on 18th of January, 2010 and development of design of flood mitigation facilities. Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of this flood event has been utilized to develop solutions for preventing the region from the flood. Topographical maps and soil properties are used in hydrological modeling. The data are inserted into a geographical information system program (ARC-GIS) where basin properties are obtained. Since there is no any stream flow gauging station along the creeks in the study area, the synthetic unit hydrograph is developed by using Soil Conversation Service Method to obtain design flood hydrographs. In hydraulic modeling, the cross-section data of Fabrika Creek and Bostanci Creek are taken by using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device and total station. These data are entered into the HEC-RAS program. Flood inundation maps are generated for both creeks. After hydrological and hydraulic modeling, two solutions are proposed. The first one is to build a detention basin for storing water and a lateral channel.
for diverting extra flow from Bostanci Creek to Fabrika Creek. The second solution is to build a lateral channel from Bostanci Creek to Gü / zelyurt Dam for diverting all water during a flood event. Based on hydrologic, hydraulic, and cost analysis, the first solution is accepted to be the feasible solution. In addition, flow carrying capacities of the creeks are improved.

The Triangle Of Publicness, Communication And Democracy In HabermasTuran, Omer 01 September 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis develops the Triangle Model, to offer a general framework through which the work of Jü / rgen Habermas could be better understood and assessed. Accordingly, it is argued that, it is possible to derive a triangle in Habermas&rsquo / s thought, formed by the concerns of publicness, communication, and democracy. Each corner of the triangle corresponds to a major concern and focus of Habermas&rsquo / s project chronologically. The Triangle Model provides an overview of continuities and discontinuities in Habermas&rsquo / s work. The main discontinuity found is between the first and the second corners of the triangle, namely between publicness and communication. It is argued that this rapture stems from an interpretive turn, composed of three points: the influence of Hegelian philosophy of human interaction, the concomitant criticism of Kantian foundationalism, and the incorporation of Arendt&rsquo / s communicative concept of power.
This study also emphasises that there are points indicating continuity, or unity in Habermas&rsquo / s thought. First, an intersubjective theory of truth is employed in all three concerns or corners of the triangle. Second, in all these concerns, Habermas searches for an answer to the same question: &ldquo / how to produce legitimate norms&rdquo / . The principle of publicity and the authority of the better argument voiced in the first corner of the triangle -publicness-, the discourse ethics of the second corner, and the deliberative politics of the third corner are formulated and adapted by Habermas in order to find the ways of producing legitimate norms. In this context, it is argued that the deliberative politics is based on publicness and communication / or publicness and communication are indispensable for deliberative politics.

On The Expected Value Of The Linear Complexity Of Periodic SequencesOzakin, Cigdem 01 July 2004 (has links) (PDF)
In cryptography, periodic sequences with terms in F2 are used almost everywhere. These sequences should have large linear complexity to be cryptographically strong. In fact, the linear complexity of a sequence should be close to its period. In this thesis, we study the expected value for N-periodic sequences with terms in the finite field Fq. This study is entirely devoted to W. Meidl and Harald Niederreiter&rsquo / s paper
which is &ldquo / On the Expected Value of the Linear Complexity and the k-Error Linear Complexity of Periodic Sequences&rdquo / We only expand this paper, there is no improvement. In this paper there are important theorems and results about the expected value of linear complexity of periodic sequences.

Internet Based Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Software Development For R/c BuildingsYalim, Baris 01 December 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Structural evaluation and seismic vulnerability assessment of Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings have especially become the focus of many researches in Turkey and abroad especially after the August 17, 1999 earthquake causing major life and property losses. A devastating earthquake being expected in Istanbul-Marmara region raises many questions on how well the existing buildings are constructed and whether they can stand a major earthquake. Evaluation of existing buildings for seismic vulnerability requires time consuming input preparation (pre-processing), modelling, and post processing of analysis results. The objective of the study is to perform automated seismic vulnerability assessment of existing R/C buildings automatically over the internet by asking internet users to enter their building related data, and streamlining the modelling-analysis-reporting phases by intelligent programming. The internet based assessment tool is prepared for two levels of complexity: (a) the detailed level targets to carry out seismic evaluation of the buildings using a linear structural analysis software developed for this study / (b) the simplified level produces seismic evaluation index for buildings, based on simple and easy to enter general building information which can be entered by any person capable of using an internet browser. Detailed level evaluation program includes a user friendly interface between the internet user and analysis software, which will enable data entry, database management, and online evaluation/reporting of R/C buildings. Building data entered by numerous users over the internet will also enable formation of an extensive database of buildings located all around Turkey.
36 buildings from Dü / zce damage database, generated by the cooperation of Scientific and Research Council of Turkey (TÜ / BiTAK) and Structural Engineering Research Unit (SERU) after the 17 August 1999 Kocaeli and the 12 November 1999 Dü / zce earthquakes, are used in the analyses to identify relationship between calculated indices and observed damage levels of buildings, which will enable prediction of building damage levels for future earthquakes. The research is funded by Science Research Program (BAP 2003-03-03-03), NATO-SfP 977231, and TUBITAK ICTAG-I574 projects.
The contribution of the research is composed of a) online building index -performance analysis/evaluation software which might be used by any average internet user, b) an ever-growing R/C building database entered by various internet users.
