Book Part A Typo-Structural Exploration of the Monumental Portals of Sinan’s 16th-Century Ottoman Mosques in Istanbul(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2026) Elagöz Timur, Bahar; Timur, Bahar ElagozOttoman architectural portals are significant as grand entrances to mosque complexes, symbolizing the transition from the secular to the sacred. Their design reflects the artistic sophistication of the Ottoman Empire, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. This article highlights significant aspects of monumental portal construction, showcasing a blend of form, materials, and engineering that exemplifies architectural progress. These portals are monumental entrances to mosque complexes, embodying the structural integrity and aesthetic of Ottoman architecture. Key features include load-bearing systems that distribute weight and provide stability, combining arches and columns to create large openings without sacrificing strength. These elements enhance the portals' visual grandeur and durability time. A study was conducted on the monumental portals of 16th-century mosques designed by Architect Sinan, widely regarded as the most famous Turkish architect. Within the scope of this study, the structural analysis of these masonry portals of five mosques - Sehzade Mehmed, Uskudar Mihrimah Sultan, Rustem Pasha, Edirnekapi Mihrimah Sultan, and Kilic Ali Pasha mosques- will be carried out. It examines the material properties, the arrangement of structural elements, and the relationship between the portals and the main structures according to the load-carrying principles. The analysis is supported by typological studies and 3d models, allowing for a comprehensive comparison across the selected examples. These, commissioned by prominent political figures and built by Turkey's greatest architect, are significant historical architectural components that establish a connection with the public. Therefore, these structural analyses and documentation are proposed to contribute to their conservation.Book Part Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Learning from Damaged Historic Constructions: Recent Earthquakes in Turkey(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2026) Kishalı, Emre; Balcı, Esra; Almaç, Umut; Semiz, Nisa; Türer, Ahmet; Kambek, Erkan; Koç, SüheylaIn February 2023, the southeastern region of Turkiye was struck by significant earthquakes along the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone, resulting in widespread destruction and substantial loss of life. The intense ground movements caused severe damage to the area's architectural heritage, impacting numerous historic buildings that represent a range of periods, functions, scales, construction techniques, and materials. The regions affected by these earthquakes presented a unique opportunity for analysing the damage to cultural assets, a chance that may not present itself again for some time. It is crucial to collect data on the damage sustained by these structures and to leverage this knowledge for their future preservation. The quality of masonry walls in damaged buildings raises important concerns, particularly regarding the bond patterns and the quality of the binding mortar. Damage has also been observed in vaulted monuments. Many of these structures lack tie systems capable of withstanding lateral forces, which would enhance the structural behaviour during earthquakes. Additionally, past restoration efforts warrant attention, particularly in repair interventions such as reintegration; it has been noted that traditional construction practices were often overlooked. The structural relationship between old and new materials was not fully established, and insufficient measures were taken to reinforce this connection, rendering the repairs less effective. The text highlights the evaluation of earthquake damage at the scale of individual structures, with a particular emphasis on damage types associated with restoration practices implemented in the past. This methodology enables the development of appropriate recommendations to address conservation issues. The data used in this study were derived from various projects, particularly those focused on assessing architectural heritage affected by the February 2023 earthquakes, in which the authors were actively engaged.Book Part Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Wireless MEMS for Smart Grids(Woodhead Publ Ltd, 2017) Tuna, G.; Gungor, V.

Birkan; Kuran, M. Sukru; Tugcu, Tuna; Şükrü Kuran, M.Understanding Communication via Diffusion (CvD) is key to molecular communications research since it dominates the movement at the nano-scale. The researcher needs to properly understand the random diffusion of the molecules for the analysis of a molecular communication system. This chapter aims explaining the dynamics of diffusion from a communication engineer's perspective as well as providing useful hints for an effective simulation design by discussing some key intricacies. The chapter starts with a brief survey of simulators for molecular communications, followed by the basics of the simulation of Brownian motion and CvD. Several intricacies are addressed to help the researcher in simulation design, such as the number of replications required in terms of movement and bit sequence. We utilize this information further by discussing the design of more complex CvD systems such as tunnel-based approach that utilizes destroyer molecules and distributed simulator design based on HLA. Introduction of more complex CvD systems provides significant improvements in data rate and communications in general, bridging the gap between human-scale and nano-scale systems and enabling nanonetworking as a viable technology.Book Part Citation - WoS: 1Turkey(Routledge, 2017) Yoney, Nilufer Baturayoglu; Salman, Yildiz; Polat, Ebru OmayBook Part The Implementation of the 4+4+4 Educational Policy in Turkey: Reflections From English Classrooms(Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) Birdal, Tugba; Vural, SeniyeBook Part The Geography of Daily Urban Spatial Mobility During COVID: The Example of Stockholm in 2020 and 2021(Springer Nature Switzerland Ag, 2023) Shuttleworth, Ian; Toger, Marina; Turk, Umut; Osth, JohnBook Part Citation - WoS: 3Sustainable New Product Development(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd, 2018) Genc, Ebru; Di Benedetto, C.
