Item Open Access An application of linear topological invariants(1997) Arslan, B.; Kocatepe, M.We consider a possible isomorphism of cartesian product of two Dragilev spaces of infinite type, and by making use of Zahariuta invariants and some structural properties, we show that if there is such an isomorphism, then any factor on the left is nearly isomorphic to the corresponding factor on the right. © TÜBİTAK.Item Open Access “My robot friend”: Application of intergroup contact theory in human-robot interaction(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-09-29) Akay, Selen; Arslan, B.; Bağcı, S. C.; Kanero, J.We present pilot data for one of the first comprehensive investigations of Intergroup Contact Theory [1], [2] in the context of human-robot interaction. Applying an actual intergroup contact procedure known to affect intergroup attitudes among humans (e.g., [3]), we examined whether human-robot interaction as a positive intergroup contact would change participants' evaluation of robots. Our data from 28 student participants ( N=15 in the interaction condition and N=13 in the no-interaction condition) suggest that after the participant and robot self-disclosed to each other (Fast Friendship Task), participants (1) felt more positive emotions towards robots, (2) perceived robots as warmer, and (3) identified robots as more similar to humans. These preliminary findings invite further research on the application of Intergroup Contact Theory in examining social human-robot interaction and its possible contributions to understanding human psychology.Item Open Access The quasi-equivalence problem for a class of köthe spaces(1997) Arslan, B.; Kocatepe, M.We consider a subclass of the class of stable nuclear Fréchet-Köthe spaces, and show that quasi-equivalence property holds in this subclass.Item Open Access Spaces of Whitney functions on Cantor-type sets(Cambridge University Press, 2002) Arslan, B.; Goncharov, A. P.; Kocatepe, M.We introduce the concept of logarithmic dimension of a compact set. In terms of this magnitude, the extension property and the diametral dimension of spaces ℰ (K) can be described for Cantor-type compact sets.
