İlgili literatür kapsamında, gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan birçok ülke için YÖİS ve bu istekliliğe etki eden faktörler incelenmesine rağmen, daha önce bu alanda Türkiye üzerine bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu projenin amacı, Türkiye?deki vatandaşların YÖİS ve bu istekliliği etkileyen değişkenleri inceleyerek literatürdeki bu boşluğu doldurmaktır. Ayrıca, Sundt ve Rehdanz (2015) ?ın meta-analiz çalışması, ilgili literatürdeki çoğu makalenin yaş, eğitim seviyesi, gelir düzeyi ve çevresel duyarlılık gibi faktörlerin olası etkisini analiz etmesine rağmen sadece bir kaç makalenin hanehalkı sayısını ekonometrik modele dahil ettiğini göstermiştir. Bu proje, coğunlukla kullanılan demografik faktörlerin yanısıra hanehalkı sayısınında YÖİS?i etkileyip etkilemediğini araştıracaktır. Bu projeyi gerçekleştirebilmek için koşullu değer yöntemiyle hazırlanan toplam 2 bölüm ve 26 sorudan oluşan bir anket kullanılacaktır. Yüzyüze görüşme yöntemiyle Türkiye?nin 12 farklı İBBS bölgesinden toplam 2,500 kişiyle yüzyüze görüşme yöntemiyle doldurulacak anketlerden elde edilecek bilgiler sayesinde, Türkiye?de ikamet eden hanehalkının ortalama YÖİS miktarı ve hangi faktörlerin bu istekliliği anlamlı yada anlamsız etkilediği çeşitli yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edilecektir. Türkiye, Avrupa Birliğine aday bir ülke, G-20 ekonomilerinden birisi ve NATO?ya dahil bir ülke olmasının yanısıra, Dünya ve Avrupa enerji piyasasında da önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Ayrıca, yenilenebilir enerji alanında kısa ve orta vadede yapılması hedeflenen yatırımlarda göz önüne alındığında, Türkiye bu literatür içerisinde araştırılması gereken ülkelerin arasındadır. Bununla birlikte, son zamanlarda küresel ısınma, gaz emisyonu ve çevresel kirlilik gibi faktörler global bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Yenilenebilir enerjinin kullanımı daha temiz bir çevre için önemli bir unsurdur. Türkiye enerjide dışa bağımlı bir ülkedir. Ayrıca, Türkiye'nin elektrik enerjisinin %48'inin doğal gazdan üretiliyor olmasının yarattığı kırılganlığın son dönem Rusya krizi ile görülmüş olması sonrasında enerji karmasında çeşitlendirme çok daha hassasiyet kazanmıştır. Yenilenebilir enerjinin artırılması bağımlılığı azaltacak önemli bir araçtır. Hanehalklarının katılımı, hedeflenen yenilenebilir enerji projelerinin hayata geçirilmesini kolaylaştıracaktır. Bu proje dört ana hedefe ulaşmak üzerine odaklanmıştır: i) Türkiye?de ikamet eden hanehalklarının yenilenebilir kaynalardan üretilen elektrik enerjisi almak için ödemeye razı oldukları ortalama miktarı bulmak, ii) YÖİS?i etkileyebilecek yaş, cinsiyet, gelir düzeyi, egitim seviyesi, çevreye olan duyarlılık ve hanehalkı sayısı gibi faktörleri analiz etmek, iii) yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının hanehalkları tarafından desteklenmesine olanak sağlayacak bir politikanın Türkiye?de uygulanabilirliğini ortaya koymak, iv) bu proje çıktılarını uluslararası indekslerce taranan bir dergide yayınlatmak.Conference Object Real-Time Robotic Car Control Using Brainwaves and Head Movement(IEEE, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2018) Ozturk, Nedime; Yilmaz, Bulent; Onver, Ahmet YasinEmotiv Epoc Headset is a portable and low-cost device. In this study, Emotiv Epoc headset was used in order to obtain real-time gyro and EEG signals. The aim of this study was to control a robotic car in real-time by using head movement and opening and closing of the eyes. The maximum and minimum amplitude of the gyro signal, and the ratios of the beta waves of O1 and O2 channel to alpha waves of the same channels were used as threshold values. These threshold values were used to determine the direction of the robotic car. Because of its low-cost and easy implementation, Arduino Uno was used to manage the robotic car. This study has shown that brain waves and head movements can control a device in real time. This system has the potential to be used in neurofeedback and brain-computer interface applications.Master Thesis PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS OF SINGLE MODE OPTICAL RECEIVER FOR DEGRADED VISUAL FIELD AND PHOTONIC LANTERN BASED COHERENT DETECTION(Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, 2016) ORAN, ABDULLAHImaging at degraded visual environments is one of the biggest challenges in today’s imaging technologies. Especially military and commercial rotary wing aviation is suffering from impaired visual field in sandy, dusty, marine and snowy environments. For example, during landing the rotor churns up the particles and creates dense clouds of highly scattering medium, which limits the vision of the pilot and may result in an uncontrolled landing. The vision in such environments is limited because of the high ratio of scattered photons over the ballistic photons that have the image information. In this thesis, we propose to use optical spatial filtering (OSF) method in order to eliminate the scattered photons and mainly collect the ballistic photons at the receiver. OSF is widely used in microscopy; to the best of our knowledge this thesis will be the first application of OSF for macroscopic imaging. Our experimental results show that most of the scattered photons are eliminated using the spatial filtering in a highly scattering degraded visual field. The results are compared with a standard broad area photo detector which shows the effectiveness of spatial filtering. Free space optical systems have applications in different areas such as laser ranging, three-dimensional imaging, weather predictions and optical wireless communication. Some applications require very high performance free space optical systems that are not available today. The need of systems with higher performance and lower size, weight and power (SWaP) is the biggest research motivation of free space optical systems. Between various detection techniques, vi coherent optical detection comes forward for applications that require high sensitivity and bandwidth. Coherent detection based LIDAR systems have the potential to provide quantum noise limited performance. However coherent systems suffer from poor free space to fiber collection efficiency due to the single mode detection characteristics and small size of the optical fiber. In order to overcome this problem, photonic lantern is introduced to effectively collect the multimode beam coming from free space and convert it to a number of single mode fibers. The photonic lantern consists of a multimode fiber to a number of single-mode fibers. The collection efficiency enhancement of photonic lanterns have been investigated, however there is no study on the signal to noise ratio –performance- improvement on the photonic lantern based free space coherent systems. In this thesis; the effect of random distribution of the optical power in the 19-port photonic lantern will be investigated mathematically. The photonic lantern based coherent detection system performance will also be simulated by using the MATLAB software. The output of this thesis may open the path to experimental demonstration and maybe even to a prototype.Master Thesis Phase noise filtering effects of mode-locked lasers(Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, 2018) MBONDE, HAMIDUThe subject of Mode-Locked Lasers has experienced a massive growth over the last two decades. Previously meant as the source of ultra-short optical pulses, its concepts have recently expanded to be applicable in areas beyond Optics such as Biomedical[1], Micro-machining[2], Sensing[3] and RF/Microwaves communication[4]. In particular this thesis focuses on application of Mode-Locked Lasers in RF/Microwave communications. One of the common problems with RF communication systems is signal integrity. Due to the nature of oscillation systems that are used to produce RF signals there is always an inevitable amount of undesirable signal associated with main signal being generated. These spurious (noise) signals have significant effect on the efficient performance of particular RF system. Low noisy RF signals are highly desirable and have many applications in high speed communication, RADAR and electronic warfare. Therefore it is critical to have an efficient means of producing low noise RF signals. Generating RF signals by Optical means has emerged as a major solution to this problem. Various methods for optically generating lower noise RF signals of high frequency have been developed such as frequency stabilized mode-locked lasers[5], phase locked loop based oscillators[6] and optoelectronic oscillators[7]. In this thesis a novel approach to this problem is presented, instead of generating lower noise signals a unique method of efficiently filtering the noise of RF signal using Mode-Locked Laser is explained. The first two chapters give brief introduction to mode-locked lasers and phase noise in oscillator, the concepts which will be used throughout this thesis. Then the experimental setups of the proposed system with the results obtained are presented in Chapter 3. Furthermore, theoretical study and analysis of limitations of this method is presented in ii Chapter 4. This includes analysis of these limitations as well as supporting simulations results. Phase noise is frequency domain term which in time domain is referred to as jitters. For various applications it is necessary to determine total jitters value of the system in order to estimate its bit error rates and other performance features. Chapter 5 of this thesis is dedicated to introducing jitter concept and a numerical method of converting a phase noise spectrum into jitter Probability Density Function (PDF).Together with the MATLAB code for aforementioned simulation a special GUI (Graphical User Interface) has been developed for the purpose of converting any given phase noise spectrum into its corresponding jitter PDF. The last chapter gives some concluding remarks and look at the possible futures of this work.Conference Object In-silico Identification of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Molecular Mechanisms(IEEE, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2019-04) Ersoz, Nur Sebnem; Guzel, Yasin; Bakir-Gungor, BurcuRepresenting approximately 70% to 80% of thyroid cancers, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancers. PTC is seen in all age groups, but it is seen more frequently in women than in men. Detection of biomarker proteins of papillary thyroid cancinoma plays an important role in the diagnosis of the disease. In this study, we aim to find target genes and pathways that are associated with papillar thyroid carcinoma, by integrating different bioinformatics methods. For this purpose, usingin-silico methodologies, candidate genes and pathways that could explain disease development mechanisms are identified. Throughout this study, firstly we identified differentially expressed genes as the amount of their protein product differ between patient and healthy groups. Secondly, by using active subnetworks search algorithms, topologic analyses and functional enrichment tests, candidate proteins,which could be thought as PTC biomarkers, and affected pathways are identified.
