Mass migration movements to Turkey: the cases of Turks of Bulgaria, Northern Iraqis, and Syrians
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)This thesis analyzes the Turkish migratory responses towards three different mass migration movements, namely Turks of Bulgaria, Northern Iraqis and Syrians, to reveal similarities and differences. While doing so, it will ... -
Improvement and comparison of complex B₁ mapping techniques for use in MREPT
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)Impedance imaging, (i.e., conductivity, , and permittivity, ) provides helpful information about contrast between healthy and malignant tissues. As one of the impedance imaging techniques, Magnetic Resonance Electrical ... -
Combinatorial multi-armed bandits: applications and analyses
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)We focus on two related problems: Combinatorial multi-armed bandit problem (CMAB) with probabilistically triggered arms (PTAs) and Online Contextual Influence Maximization Problem with Costly Observations (OCIMP-CO) ... -
Large-scale semi-empirical pseudopotential electronic structure of self-assembled ingaas quantum dots
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The so-called second quantum revolution emerged at the beginning of the second millennium, opening up a path to realization of spin-qubit-based quantum computing by means of controlling and protecting quantum coherent ... -
“Metamuseum” information, design, and interaction: beyond the categorization of the museums
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The technological enrichment of visual communication has been reflected more and more in cultural heritage and museums. In particular, data visualizations are being used gradually by scholars, museum curators, and ... -
Deliberating in difficult times: lessons from public forums in Turkey
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)This dissertation examines how under semi-authoritarian political contexts and fragmented social structure public deliberation function, by in-depth analysis of three Public Park Forums in İzmir which were created during ... -
A conjecture on square-zero upper triangular matrices and Carlsson's rank conjecture
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)A well-known conjecture states that if an elementary abelian p-group acts freely on a product of spheres, then the rank of the group is at most the number of spheres in the product. Carlsson gives an algebraic version ... -
Variational study of interacting su-schrieffer-heeger model
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with nearest neighbor interaction in one dimension at half-filling is studied. To obtain ground state wave function, the Baeriswyl variational wave function is extended to account ... -
Investigation of AC electro-osmotic flow based microfluidic mixer with micro rods
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)AC electrokinetics (ACEK) is useful technique for providing species manipulation and liquid transportation. This method is applicable to many fields like cell separation, synthesis, pumping, mixing in microfluidics ... -
Design, control, modeling, and gait analysis in miniature foldable robotics
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)Miniature or micro robotic platforms are perfect candidates for accomplishing tasks such as inspection, surveillance, and hazardous environment exploration where conventional macro robots fail to serve. Such applications ... -
Experimental and model based investigation of the effects of high stimulus presentation rate on code-modulated visual evoked potential based brain-computer interfaces
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)Objective. Previous studies on code-modulated visual evoked potentials (c- VEP) have yielded important results regarding the performance of c-VEP based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in recent years. Since, speed is ... -
Algorithms for structural variation discovery using multiple sequence signatures
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)Genomic variations including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small INDELs and structural variations (SVs) are known to have significant phenotypic effects on individuals. Among them, SVs, that alter more than 50 ... -
Accelerating the understanding of life's code through better algorithms and hardware design
(Bilkent University, 2018-08)Our understanding of human genomes today is affected by the ability of modern computing technology to quickly and accurately determine an individual's entire genome. Over the past decade, high throughput sequencing (HTS) ... -

A study of extensions of the stable rule for roommate problems
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)Roommate problems might not have a stable solution. But for such problems we are still faced with the problem of matching the agents. One natural approach would be to match the agents in such a way that the resulting ... -
Assortment planning with premium services
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)We consider the assortment planning problem of an online retailer who offers products with multiple service types which differ in delivery time. We assume that customers make their choices according to the multinomial ... -
