qPCR validation of in vivo diagnostic importance and regulation by estrogen for CHRNA5 isoform expression in breast cancer
(Bilkent University, 2014)Breast cancer has multiple molecular subtypes; normal-like, basal-like, luminal A, luminal B and HER2 positive depending on receptor status of tumor cells. Cancer therapy is tailored according to the type of cancer; hence ... -
Quadratic assignment problem : linearizations and polynomial time solvable cases
(Bilkent University, 2006)The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the hardest combinatorial optimization problems known. Exact solution attempts proposed for instances of size larger than 15 have been generally unsuccessful even ... -
Quadrupedal gait in humans : identification and partial characterization of a novel gene WD repeat domain 81 (WDR81)
(Bilkent University, 2011)Identi cation of disease genes responsible for cerebellar phenotypes provides mechanistic insights into the development of cerebellum. Neural pathways involved in bipedal gait in humans is not completely understood. ... -
A qualitative research on consumer's perception of prices and their evaluation of price promotions in an inflationary environment
(Bilkent University, 1996)This study aims at the formation of an understanding on how consumers process price information, what opinion they hold of price promotions and how they interpret promotion signals, reference effects of price promotions, ... -
Qualitative test-cost sensitive classification
(Bilkent University, 2008)Decision making is a procedure for selecting the best action among several alternatives. In many real-world problems, decision has to be taken under the circumstances in which one has to pay to acquire information. In ... -
Quality and production control with opportunities and exogenous random shocks
(Bilkent University, 2005)In a production process, opportunities arise due to exogenous or indigenous factors, for cost reduction. In this dissertation, we consider such opportunities in quality control chart design and production planning for ... -
Quality assurance implementation in TUSAS Aerospace Industries Inc (TAI)
(Bilkent University, 1993)TAI established for F-16 aircraft production, is a unique organization in Turkey. Hiough it is a Turkish company TAI operates within an mtemational cliain in production and manages a Quality Assurance System tliat satisfies ... -
Quality measurement plan using Monte Carlo methods
(Bilkent University, 1997)This study considers the Quality Measurement Plan (QMP), a system implemented for reporting the quality assurance audit results to Bell system management. QMP is derived from a new Bayesian approach to the empirical Bayes ... -
Quality of motivation, well-being and achievement in preparatory programs for English language: implications for curriculum and instruction
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)This thesis investigates Turkish students’ autonomous and controlled motivation in preparatory programs for English language and their correlates. Specifically, the study examined (a) to what extent preparatory school ... -
Quality of service analysis for slotted optical burst switching networks
(Bilkent University, 2008)Optical burst switching (OBS) is proposed as the switching paradigm of nextgeneration optical Internet. In OBS, IP packets from access networks are assembled into longer units of bursts allowing a lower level of switching ... -
Quantifying and protecting genomic privacy
(Bilkent University, 2018-08)Today, genome sequencing is more accessible and affordable than ever. It is also possible for individuals to share their genomic data with service providers or on public websites. Although genomic data has significant ... -
A quantitative investigation of mathematical knowledge for teaching and self-efficacy: middle school mathematics teachers in Turkey
(Bilkent University, 2015-05)The purpose of this study was to investigate the mathematical knowledge for teaching and self-efficacy levels of middle school mathematics teachers in Turkey. The sample consisted of 42 teachers, working at 15 randomly-selected ... -
Quantum dot functionalized Titania systems for photocatalytic oxidative NOx storage
(Bilkent University, 2018-03)Increasing activities of industrial combustion systems, volcanic eruptions, agriculture activities and utilization of stationary and mobile fossil and biomass combustion systems are known to be the major causes of toxic ... -
Quantum entanglement and light propagation through Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
(Bilkent University, 2009)We investigate the optical response of coherent media, a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), to intense laser pump stimulations and weak probe pulse propagation. First, we adopt the coherence in sequential superradiance ... -
Quantum gases in rotating optical lattices
(Bilkent University, 2010)The thesis is structured into two main parts so as to cover bosons and fermions in rotating optical lattices separately. In the first part, after a brief introduction to ultracold atoms in optical lattices, we review the ... -
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of ultracold atomic systems
(Bilkent University, 2019-07)Here, we present our work and findings on ultracold atomic systems. We first present a semi-analytical work on density wave instability (DWI) and collective modes of a bilayer dipolar system of bosons and fermions. We ... -
Quantum polarization properties of radiation
(Bilkent University, 1999)New bosonic operators, describing the polarization properties of photons at any point with respect to a source, are introduced. It is shown that, unlike the classical picture, the local quantum description of polarization ... -
Quantum properties of multipole radiation
(Bilkent University, 2002)In this study, multipole expansion of quantum electromagnetic radiation is constructed and quantized by canonical transformation with increasing demand of some modern research areas of physics such as entanglement of the ... -
Quantum statistics of light interacting with matter
(Bilkent University, 1999)Studies on some systems in which light interacts with matter are performed from quantum statistical point of view. As a result of these studies a novel effect which can be utilized for detecting squeezed phonons is ...
