N-tangle Kanenobu knots with the same Jones polynomials
(Bilkent University, 2010)It is still an open question if there exists a non-trivial knot whose Jones polynomial is trivial. One way of attacking this problem is to develop a mutation on knots which keeps the Jones polynomial unchanged yet alters ... -
N/pi and N/sigma interactions of the amide linkage with its N-substituents : a quantum chemical study
(Bilkent University, 2002)The overall contribution of backbone-backbone H-bonding to the stability of proteins remains an unresolved issue. However, a wealth of spectroscopic, structural, and thermodynamic evidence indicates that the strength of ... -
Nahid Sırrı Örik, kıskanmak ve psikanaliz
(Bilkent University, 2001)Nahid Sırrı Örik stands apart from other writers in the Republican Era through his ability to portray protagonists’ evil. Örik began to publish in 1928, writing critiques, travel memoirs, plays, stories, and novels. His ... -
Nahit Sırrı Örik'in romanlarında narsisist entrikalar
(Bilkent University, 2009)This study focuses on the novels of Nahit Sırrı Örik (1894-1960), one of the most significant authors of the 20th. century Turkish literature. The novels that have been analyzed are Kıskanmak (Jealousy, 1937), Yıldız ... -
Naming faces on the web
(Bilkent University, 2010)In this study, we introduce a method to name less-frequently appearing people on the web via naming frequently appearing ones first. Current image search engines are widely used for querying a person, however; retrievals ... -
Nanofibrous nanocomposites via electrospinning
(Bilkent University, 2011)In recent years, numerous studies have been reported for fabrication of composite nanofibers from polymeric and inorganic materials by using electrospinning method. In the first part of this study, TiO2 and ZnO ... -
Nanogap based label-free impedimetric biosensors
(Bilkent University, 2012)Despite lots of research going on to find a hope, cancer is still a major cause of death in today‘s world. It has been reported that cancer has some biomarkers in human body and detecting these biomarkers timely can pave ... -
Nanomechanical characterization of materials by enhanced higher harmonics of a tapping cantilever
(Bilkent University, 2005)In a tapping-mode atomic force microscope, the periodic interaction of the tip with the sample surface creates a tip-sample interaction force, and the pure sinusoidal motion of the cantilever is disturbed. Hence, the ... -
Nanoscience for sustainable energy production
(Bilkent University, 2011)Hydrogen economy towards the utilization of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source has three ingredients. These are (i) hydrogen production; (ii) hydrogen storage; and (iii) fuel cells. Optimization of fuel ... -
Nanosecond optical parametric oscillators generating eye-safe radiation
(Bilkent University, 1998)In this thesis, construction and characterization of nanosecond optical parametric oscillators (OPO’s) generating eye-safe radiation are presented. These OPO’s convert the output of an Nd:YAG laser at 1.06 μ,\ι\ wavelength ... -
Nanosecond upconversion optical parametric oscillators
(Bilkent University, 2005)In this thesis, we demonstrate a technique for highly efficient red beam generation using nanosecond upconversion optical parametric oscillators based on KTiOAsO4 crystals that are simultaneously phase matched for optical ... -
Nanostructured materials and devices for sensing and energy harvesting applications
(Bilkent University, 2015-08)A closer look into the fundamental challenges of the modern world reveals that the increasing demand for energy threatens the evolution of science and technology. Energy-efficiency is thus a fundamental issue in engineering ... -
Nanostructured materials for biological imaging and chemical sensing
(Bilkent University, 2014-11)In the recent years, the design and synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles for biological and chemical sensing applications have received considerable attention due to the excellent photostability and emission intensity ... -
Nanotribological properties of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto silicon oxide substrates
(Bilkent University, 2015)To extend the lifespan of mechanical systems, wear and friction must be minimized with the utilization of lubricants. On the other hand, traditional fluid-based lubrication schemes fail in nano- and micro-scale systems ... -
NAPO as a novel apoptosis marker

Narrative strategies in Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End and The Good Soldier
(Bilkent University, 1996)In opposition to theories which gave the author pride of place as the creator of literary works embodying definite meanings, the French thinker Roland Barthes maintained that it was the reader, and not the author, ... -
Narrative techniques in Doris Lessing's stories and sketches
(Bilkent University, 1996)The aim of this thesis is to analyze the themes of Doris Lessing's short stories and sketches, with particular reference to the narrative techniques developed mainly by the French Structuralists Roland Barthes and Gerard ... -
Narratives of the ideal Turk image in Turkish collective memory: an analysis of TV dramas “Payitaht: Abdülhamid II” and “Mehmetçik Kût-ül Amâre”
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)This thesis analyzes the construction of the ideal Turk images by the television dramas Payitaht: Abdülhamid II and Mehmetçik Kût-ül Amâre in relation to the production of collective memory. They are examined within ... -
Nash bargaining solution under predonation
(Bilkent University, 2008)We consider two person bargaining problems under predonation. Before the bargaining solution is applied we allow the alteration of the bargaining set by means of pre-donations of a share in one’s would-be payoffs to one’s ... -
Nash equilibria in claim based estate division problems
(Bilkent University, 2014)Estate division game is an allocation of an estate between players based on a rule. In this thesis, we consider estate division games and study the necessary and sufficient conditions for division rules under which Nash ...
