Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Feature Selection for Protein Dihedral Angle Prediction(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-09) Aydin, Zafer; Kaynar, Oǧuz; Görmez, YasinConference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Combining Classifiers for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-09) Aydin, Zafer; Uzut, Ömmu GülsümArticle Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Π-Conjugated Donor-Acceptor Small Molecule Thin-Films on Gold Electrodes for Reducing the Metal Work-Function(Elsevier Science SA, 2016-10) Azum, Naved; Taib, Layla Ahmad; Al Angari, Yasser Mohammed; Asiri, Abdullah M.; Denti, Mitchel; Zhao, Wei; Facchetti, AntonioThis paper reports the design, facile synthesis and purification of four pi-conjugated donor-acceptor small molecules comprising heteroaromatic units, DA-1-DA-4, for surface and electronic structure modification of gold thin film. These molecules were characterized by H-1/C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Morphologically smooth thin-films (similar to 5 nm) of DA-1-DA-4 were deposited onto Au thin films via thermal evaporation and characterized by atomic force microscopy, theta-2 theta X-ray diffraction and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The work functions of the small molecule coated Au electrodes are shifted to lower energies by similar to 0.1-03 eV, compared to that of the bare Au film measured as a reference. The vapor-deposition of structurally,simple small molecules developed here shows great promise as a facile approach to reduce gold work function for electron injection/extraction between organic semiconductors and Au contacts in various opto-electronic devices.

Effects of the number of ethylene glycol units in OEGMA, chain length of hydrophobic P4VP block, pH, concentration and temperature on the solution behavior of the copolymers were investigated comprehensively. Copolymer chains formed micelles at pH values higher than 5 whereas unimeric polymers were observed to exist below pH 5, owing to the repulsion between positively charged P4VP blocks. The size of the micelles was dependent on the relative length of blocks, P4VP and POEGMA. Thermo-responsive properties of copolymers were investigated depending on the pH and length of P4VP block. The increase in the length of P4VP block decreased the LCST substantially at pH 7. At pH 3, LCST of copolymers shifted to higher temperatures due to the increased interaction of copolymers with water through positively charged P4VP block. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

In this investigation, we explore an important boundary condition of ethical leadership by exploring how employees' moral awareness may lessen the need for ethical leadership. Drawing on substitutes for leadership theory, we suggest that when individuals already possess a heightened level of moral awareness, ethical leadership's role in reducing deviant actions may be reduced. However, when individuals lack this strong moral disposition, ethical leadership may be instrumental in inspiring them to reduce their deviant actions. To enhance the external validity and generalizability of our findings, the current research used two large field samples of working professionals in both Turkey and the USA. Results suggest that ethical leadership's positive influence on workplace deviance is dependent upon the individual's moral awareness-helpful for those employees whose moral awareness is low, but not high. Thus, our investigation helps to build theory around the contingencies of ethical leadership and the specific audience for whom it may be more (or less) influential.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 23Women's Tertiary Education Masks the Gender Wage Gap in Turkey(Springer, 2017-03-10) Tekguc, Hasan; Eryar, Deger; Cindoglu, DilekThis paper investigates the gender wage gap for full-time formal sector employees, disaggregated by education level. The gap between the labor force participation rate of women with tertiary education and those with lower levels of education is substantial. There is no such gap for men. Hence, existing gender wage gap studies for Turkey, where we observe lopsided labor force participation rates by education levels, compare two very different populations. We disaggregate the whole sample by education level to create more homogenous sub-groups. For Turkey, without disaggregation, the gender wage gap was 13% in 2011, and women are significantly over-qualified relative to men on observed characteristics. Once we disaggregate the sample by education level, we show that the gender wage gap is 24% for less educated women and 9% for women with tertiary education in full-time formal employment. Observed characteristics only explain 1 % of this gap in absolute terms. We further disaggregate the data by public and private employment. The gender gap is higher in the private sector. However, women with tertiary education in the public sector are significantly better qualified compared to men, and consequently the adjusted gender wage gap is higher for women with tertiary education in the public sector. Our estimates also indicate a rise in the gender wage gap between 2004 and 2011.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 4Within Our Walls: White-Collar Crime in Greek Academia(Taylor and Francis, 2015) Georgoulas, Stratos; Voulvouli, AimiliaArticle Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Wireless Sensor Network-Based Communication for Cooperative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-01) Tuna, Gurkan; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri; Potirakis, Stelios M.; Zeadally, SheraliThis paper presents a novel approach of using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as the communication means for Multi-Robot, Cooperative, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (CSLAM) applications investigating the associated design challenges and suggesting corresponding solutions. Although the proposed approach brings several benefits including an increased coverage and communication range, self-organization capabilities, quick deployment, and flexible architecture, the realization is interrelated with performance in terms of energy efficiency and reliability. In this respect, the applicability of the WSNs for the presented approach is investigated. Centralized and distributed map merging methods in WSN-based CSLAM are evaluated in detail and the impacts of packet delays and losses on the performance of CSLAM algorithms are shown. Additionally, the involved network congestion and contention dynamics are presented, while the effects of observation range, speed, time intervals between observations, and odometry readings on the SLAM accuracy are shown based on an extensive set of simulation studies.

The wireless displacement sensing system, primarily designed for use in structural health monitoring (SHM), is composed of a comb-like nested split-ring resonator (NSRR) probe and a transceiver antenna. Although each complex medium scenario is predicted to have a detrimental effect on sensing in principle, it is demonstrated that the proposed sensor geometry is able to operate fairly well in all scenarios except one. In these scenarios that mimic real-life SHM, it is shown that this sensor exhibits a high displacement resolution of 1 mu m, a good sensitivity of 7 MHz/mm in average, and a high dynamic range extending over 20 mm. For the most disruptive scenario of placing concrete immediately behind NSRR, a solution based on employing a separator behind the probe is proposed to overcome the handicaps introduced by the medium. In order to obtain a one-to-one mapping from the measured frequency shift to the displacement, a numerical fit is proposed and used. The effects of several complex medium scenarios on this fit are discussed. These results indicate that the proposed sensing scheme works well in real-life SHM applications.Book Part Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Wireless MEMS for Smart Grids(Woodhead Publ Ltd, 2017) Tuna, G.; Gungor, V.
