Analysis of assembly systems for interdeparture time variability and throughput
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)This paper studies the effect of the number of component stations (parallelism), work transfer, processing time distributions, buffers and buffer allocation schemes on throughput and interdeparture time variability of ... -
Analysis of design parameters in safety-critical computers
(IEEE Computer Society, 2018)Nowadays, safety-critical computers are extensively used in many civil domains like transportation including railways, avionics, and automotive. In evaluating these safety critical systems, previous studies considered ... -
An analysis of manipulated information and respective alternative costs in information systems and in decision making structures
(International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, IIIS, 2006)Today Information Technologies create base for the most important decision support systems for the practices in academia, business and politics. The effectiveness and success of operations that are supported by information ... -
Asymptotic analysis of reliability for switching systems in light and heavy traffic conditions
(Birkhäuser, Boston, 2000)An asymptotic analysis of flows of rare events switched by some random environment is provided. An approximation by nonhomogeneous Poisson flows in case of mixing environment is studied. Special notions of S-set and ... -
Bluetooth broadcasting performance: reliability and throughput
(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2006)This paper studies the performance of Bluetooth broadcasting scheme. The transmission of a Bluetooth broadcast packet is repeated several times to increase the reliability of broadcast. We have analyzed the effects of ... -
Boolean normal forms, shellability, and reliability computations
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2000)Orthogonal forms of positive Boolean functions play an important role in reliability theory, since the probability that they take value 1 can be easily computed. However, few classes of disjunctive normal forms are known ... -
Comparison of different balance scales in Parkinson's disease
(Turkey Association of Physiotherapists, 2009)Purpose: The main purpose of our study is finding out whether different methods used in evaluating balance are reliable and valid for Parkinson Disease. Material and methods: In the study, thirty idiopathic Parkinson ... -
Compiler directed network-on-chip reliability enhancement for chip multiprocessors
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2010-04)Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are expected to be the building blocks for future computer systems. While architecting these emerging CMPs is a challenging problem on its own, programming them is even more challenging. As the ... -
Cultural affordances: Does model reliability affect over-imitation in preschoolers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-03)One general perspective on why children over-imitate is that they are learning about the normatively correct way of doing things. If correct, then characteristics of the demonstrator should be relevant. Accordingly, the ... -
Custom hardware optimizations for reliable and high performance computer architectures
(Bilkent University, 2020-09)In recent years, we have witnessed a huge wave of innovations, such as in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet-of-Things (IoT). In this trend, software tools are constantly and increasingly demanding more processing ... -
The distribution of the residual lifetime and its applications
(Bilkent University, 1991)Let T be a continuous positive random variable representing the lifetime of an entitle This entity could be a human being, an animal or a plant, or a component of a mechanical or electrical system. For nonliving objects ... -
An evaluation of the reliability of probability judgments across response modes and over time
(Wiley, 1993)Despite the importance of probability assessment methods in behavioral decision theory and decision analysis, little attention has been directed at evaluating their reliability and validity. In fact, no comprehensive ... -
Facet cooling in high-power InGaAs/AlGaAs lasers
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019)Several factors limit the reliable output power of a semiconductor laser under CW operation, such as carrier leakage, thermal effects, and catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD). Ever higher operating powers may be ... -
Fair task allocation in crowdsourced delivery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)Faster and more cost-efficient, crowdsourced delivery is needed to meet the growing customer demands of many industries. In this work, we introduce a new crowdsourced delivery platform that takes fairness towards workers ... -

Improving chip multiprocessor reliability through code replication
(Pergamon Press, 2010)Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are promising candidates for the next generation computing platforms to utilize large numbers of gates and reduce the effects of high interconnect delays. One of the key challenges in CMP design ... -
Instruction-level reliability improvement for embedded systems
(IEEE, 2020-09)With the increasing number of applications in embedded computing systems, it became indispensable for the system designers to consider multiple objectives including power, performance, and reliability. Among these, reliability ... -
Language evolution and information theory
(IEEE, 2004-06-07)The use of Nowak's model to study the language evolution and to settle a conjecture by Nowak was discussed. These models explained the ways by which natural selection can lead to the gradual emergence of human language. ... -
Network design problems and value of control mechanisms in power systems
(Bilkent University, 2019-05)Power systems planning and operations is one of the most challenging problems in energy field due to its complex, large-scale and nonlinear nature. Operating power systems with uncertainties and disturbances such as ... -
A new method of probing the phonon mechanism in superconductors, including MgB2
(2001)Weak localization has a strong influence on both the normal and superconducting properties of metals. In particular, since weak localization leads to the decoupling of electrons and phonons, the temperature dependence of ...
