This thesis presents mainly the findings of Germany’s minority policy in Romania. In doing so, the research concentrates on the German minority and considers the extent to which this minority plays a role in German-Romanian ...

Son yıllarda Avrupa Birliği (AB) içerisinde yaşanan en önemli krizlerden birisi hukukun üstünlüğü krizi olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Özellikle bu krizin bu kadar önemli görülmesinin sebeplerinden birisi üye ülkeler ve AB ...

Smart thermostats and home energy management systems (HEMSs) are generally studied separately. However, their joint use can provide a greater benefit. Therefore, this study primarily aims to combine a smart thermostat with ...

In this study, active controlled ten-story structures including soil-structure interaction (SSI) are investigated under different type of ground motions (near-fault and far ground motions) defined in FEMA P-695 to show the ...

Symmetric laminated composite plates are frequently used in structural design due to their high strength to weight ratio. The stacking sequence of these laminates is known to have a major impact on the performance of these ...

In the present study, an active structural control using metaheuristic tuned Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) type controllers is presented. The aim of the study is to propose a feasible active control application ...

In this study, new cooperative-quadrature spatial modulation techniques based on Euclidean distance and capacity optimized antenna selection techniques (EDAS-CQSM and COAS-CQSM) are proposed for cooperative communication ...

Natural fibers have drawn attention from the researchers and engineers in recent years due to their mechanical properties comparable to the conventional synthetic fibers and due to their low cost, eco-friendliness, and ...

In this study, the active controlled single degree of freedom (SDOF) structures with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 s period are investigated under various pulse-type ground motions (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 s) to optimally tune the parameters ...

This study proposes a new energy-efficient and high data-rated communication technique by combining media-based modulation (MBM) and differential chaos shift keying technique (DCSK), called DCSK–MBM. The MBM technique, ...
