Physically-based animation of elastically deformable models
(Bilkent University, 1994)Although kinematic modeling methods are adequate for describing the shapes of static objects, they are insufficient when it comes to producing realistic animation. Physically-based modeling remedies this problem by ... -
Physics and applications of coupled-cavity structures in photonic crystals
(Bilkent University, 2002)We proposed and demonstrated a new type of propagation mechanism for the electromagnetic waves in photonic band gap materials. Photons propagate through coupled cavities due to interaction between the highly localized ... -
Physics and applications of photonic crystals
(Bilkent University, 2000)We first fabricated a dielectric based layer-by-layer photonic crystal, with a three-dimensional photonic band gap at microwave frequencies. We investigated the transmission, reflection and defect characteristics of the ... -
Physics of nonradiative energy transfer in the complex media of 0D, 2D and 3D materials
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)Quantum-confined colloidal nanostructures with strong excitonic properties have emerged as promising light harvesting components in photonics and optoelectronics over the past 20 years. With their favorable photophysical ... -
A phytolith study from Kinet Höyük Hatay
(Bilkent University, 2019-12)Phytolith studies are now an established subbranch of archaeobotanical studies. However, there is a very limited number of phytolith studies focused on Anatolia. Kinet H oyük is one of the eligible sites since extensive ... -
Piatetski-shapir prime number theorem and chebotarev density theorem
(Bilkent University, 2015-07)Let K be a nite Galois extension of the eld Q of rational numbers. In this thesis, we derive an asymptotic formula for the number of the Piatetski-Shapiro primes not exceeding a given quantity for which the associated ... -
A pictorial representation within a postmodern manner
(Bilkent University, 1992)The thesis aims to analyze the postmodern debate which has been subject of intense debate in the western societies in particular. The thesis discusses the postmodern discourse, and constitutes a body of theoretical work ... -
Pictorial space: a comparative account of projective versus constructivist theories of graphic perception
(Bilkent University, 1996)This study aims at constructing an 'overall theoretical outline' that would structure the existing approaches to graphic perception within a comprehensible whole. In this context, two dominant theoretical paradigms, namely ... -
PID controller design for first order unstable time delay systems
(Bilkent University, 2009)In this thesis, problem of designing P, PI and PD-like controllers for switched first order unstable systems with time delay is studied. For each type of controller, the problem is solved in two steps. First, the set of ... -
Piezoelectric power generation using heart motion
(Bilkent University, 2006)The presence of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) is considered historically a contraindication to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Main reason behind this contraindication is the current induced ... -
Pious endowments and land in seventeenth century Ottoman Empire : the Vakf of Şeyhülislam Feyzullah Efendi
(Bilkent University, 2013)Within the context of land system and transformation of property relations in the Ottoman State, this study is an analysis and evalution of the primary sources belonging to the vakfs of Şeyhülislam Feyzullah Efendi which ... -
Pipelined fission for stream programs with dynamic selectivity and partitioned state
(Bilkent University, 2014-12)There is an ever increasing rate of digital information available in the form of online data streams. In many application domains, high throughput processing of such data is a critical requirement for keeping up with the ... -
The PKK the "Kurdish Question" as factors in Turkish-German relations, 1984-1994

Place attachment in gated communities : a case study in Bilkent housing settlements
(Bilkent University, 2004)This study brings out an analytical framework to the issue of place attachment in relation with the concepts such as place identity and environmental preferences in newly emerging communities in Turkey. With the increasing ... -
The place of social identity in Turkey's foreign policy options in the post-Cold War era in the light of liberal and constructivist approaches
(Bilkent University, 2001)This thesis aims to describe the positions of diverse social identities in Turkey concerning Turkey’s foreign policy options in the post-Cold War era. This exercise will be placed within the framework of the theoretical ... -
The Place of the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Circassian War (1830-1864)
(Bilkent University, 2004)In this work, the Ottoman policy regarding the Circassians, the indigenous inhabitants of the North-western Caucasus, and in that respect the Russo-Ottoman relations will be analyzed. This study will cover the period ... -
Placement of express links in a DWDM optical network
(Bilkent University, 2005)With the introduction of DWDM technology in telecommunication network systems, important advancements have been achieved in the problem of routing the increasing signal traffic between demand-supply nodes. The choice of ... -
Planar p-center problem with Tchebychev distance
(Bilkent University, 1994)The p-center problem is a model for locating p facilities to serve clients so that the distance between a farthest client and its closest facility is minimized. Emergency service facilities such as fire stations, hospitals ... -
Plane sextics with a type E7 singular point
(Bilkent University, 2011)The computation of the fundamental grup of a plane sextic (i.e., curves B ⊂ P 2 ) still remain unanswered problem. There is an huge effort on this subject. In this thesis, we study plane sextic curves with a type E7 ... -
Plane-wave dynamics of single crystal upconversion optical parametric oscillators
(Bilkent University, 1999)This thesis presents our investigation of the dynamics of single crystal up- conversion optical parametric oscillators (OPO’s). In these devices, parametric generation and sum frequency generation or second harmonic ...
