C-Stream: A coroutine-based elastic stream processing engine
(Bilkent University, 2015)Stream processing is a computational paradigm for on-the-fly processing of live data. This paradigm lends itself to implementations that can provide high throughput and low latency, by taking advantage of various forms ... -
Cache locality exploiting methods and models for sparse matrix-vector multiplication
(Bilkent University, 2009)The sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMxV) is an important kernel operation widely used in linear solvers. The same sparse matrix is multiplied by a dense vector repeatedly in these solvers to solve a system of ... -
Caching techniques for large scale web search engines
(Bilkent University, 2011)Large scale search engines have to cope with increasing volume of web content and increasing number of query requests each day. Caching of query results is one of the crucial methods that can increase the throughput of ... -
Calculation of masses of dark solitons in 1D Bose-Einstein condensates using Gelfand Yaglom method
(Bilkent University, 2016-11)Nonlinear excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) play important role in understanding the dynamics of BECs. Solitons, shape preserving wave packets, are the most fundamental nonlinear excitations of BECs. They ... -
Calculation of scalar optical diffraction field from its distributed samples over the space
(Bilkent University, 2010)As a three-dimensional viewing technique, holography provides successful threedimensional perceptions. The technique is based on duplication of the information carrying optical waves which come from an object. Therefore, ... -
Calendar anomalies at Istanbul Stock Exchange
(Bilkent University, 1993)A securities market in which market prices fully reflect all relevant information is called efficient. The Weak Form Efficient Market Hypothesis claims that there should not be any consistent patterns in security ... -
Camera-based 3D interaction for handheld devices
(Bilkent University, 2010)Using handheld devices is a very important part of our daily life. Interacting with them is the most unavoidable part of using them. Today’s user interface designs are mostly adapted from desktop computers. The result ... -
Can we measure service quality?
(Bilkent University, 1995)Affected by the motto "you cannot improve what you cannot measure" and joining the enthusiasm of TQM movement, service companies are trying to measure their service quality. SERVQUAL is an intrument to measure service ... -
Can we see non-human animals are agents?
(Bilkent University, 2020-06)In this thesis, I investigate non-human animal agency and I question whether we can see non-human animals are agents or not. I shall adopt a Moorean approach to animal agency and argue that we can see animals are agents ... -
Can Yücel'in Shakespeare çevirilerinde "Sadakat"
(Bilkent University, 2006)This study aims at analysing three translations of Shakespeare by Can Yücel using Raymond van den Broeck’s method regarding the analytic function of translation. The poetics, the ideology, the language and the discourse ... -
Cancer testis gene expression as a biomarker of one-carbon metabolic activity, drug sensitivity and phenotypic heterogeneity in non-small cell lung cancer and malignant melanoma
(Bilkent University, 2016-09)Expression of cancer-testis (CT) genes on X chromosome (CT-X) is restricted to tumors, with very low or no expression in normal adult tissues. CT-X gene expression is one of the factors contributing to tumor heterogeneity ... -
Cancer-testis gene expression as a biomarker of the genetic variation in the one carbon metabolic pathway
(Bilkent University, 2008)S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) is the sole methyl donor for all biological reactions in humans. Folate consumption, required for SAM generation, is also essential for dTMP synthesis and both events occur via enzymes of the ... -
Canonical induction for trivial source rings
(Bilkent University, 2013)We discuss the canonical induction formula for some special Mackey functors by following the construction of Boltje. These functors are the ordinary and modular character rings and the trivial source rings. Making use ... -
Canonical induction, Green functors, lefschetz invariant of monomial G-posets
(Bilkent University, 2019-06)Green functors are a kind of group functor, rather like Mackey functors, but with a further multiplicative structure. They are defined on a category whose objects are finite groups and whose morphisms are generated by ... -
A Capacitated and distance-limited continuous location-allocation problem for spatial planning of decentralized distribution systems
(Bilkent University, 2017-09)We introduce a new continuous location-allocation problem with capacitated and distance-limited facilities for spatial planning of decentralized distribution systems to contribute the green eld development. Our aim is ... -
Capacitated assortment optimization and pricing problems under mixed multinomial logit model
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)We study capacitated assortment optimization problem under mixed multinomial logit model where a retailer wants to choose the set of products to offer to various customer segments with the goal of maximizing revenue while ... -
Capacity and spectrum efficiency analysis of an asymmetric PMR system with DAB downlink
(Bilkent University, 2003)Different trunked Private Mobile Radio (PMR) systems have been designed over the last several decades, all of which have symmetric downlink and uplink channel capacities. Due to this symmetry, those systems may not be ... -
Capacity of noisy, discrete memoryless channels under input constraints
(Bilkent University, 1990)In this thesis work, we examine the capacity of discrete memoryless channels under input constraints. We consider a certain class of input-restricted channels for which constrained sequences can be modeled as outputs of ... -
Capital ratios over the cycle : evidence from the Turkish banking sector
(Bilkent University, 2015)This study examines the behavior of capital ratios of Turkish banks over the business and financial cycles in the period of 1993:Q4-2014:Q3 and the sub-period 2003:Q1-2014:Q3. Capital adequacy ratio defined by Basel Committee ... -
Capital structure determinants of Turkish SMEs in manufacturing industry
(Bilkent University, 2011)This thesis investigates the determinants of capital structure of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) from manufacturing sector in Turkey. Hypotheses about leverage decisions and debt maturity choices of firms are ...
