Item Open Access Generation kill and the new screen combat(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2016) Yüksel, M.; Kennedy-Karpat, Colleen; Froula, A.; Takacs, S.No one could accuse the American cultural industries of giving the Iraq War the silent treatment. Between the 24-hour news cycle and fictionalized entertainment, war narratives have played a significant and evolving role in the media landscape since the declaration of war in 2003. Iraq War films, on the whole, have failed to impress audiences and critics, with notable exceptions like Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2008), which won the Oscar for Best Picture, and her follow-up Zero Dark Thirty (2012), which tripled its budget in worldwide box office intake.1 Television, however, has fared better as a vehicle for profitable, war-inspired entertainment, which is perhaps best exemplified by the nine seasons of Fox’s 24 (2001-2010). Situated squarely between these two formats lies the television miniseries, combining seriality with the closed narrative of feature filmmaking to bring to the small screenand, probably more significantly, to the DVD market-a time-limited story that cultivates a broader and deeper narrative development than a single film, yet maintains a coherent thematic and creative agenda.Item Open Access Influence of coumarin as an additive on CuO nanostructures prepared by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method(Elsevier, 2013) Bayansal, F.; Şahin, B.; Yüksel, M.; Bıyıklı, Necmi; Çetinkara, H. A.; Güder, H. S.The effect of coumarin doping during the growth of CuO nanostructures by SILAR method has been studied. It was found that coumarin considerably influences the growth process, manipulates the bandgap and modifies the crystallite size of the films. XRD experiments evidenced that with higher coumarin concentrations in the growth solution, the microstrain and dislocation density increased, while the crystallite size of the films decreased. SEM images revealed that the thicknesses of the plate-like nanostructures decreased with increasing coumarin concentration. By UV/vis spectrophotometer analysis it is found that the coumarin concentration affects both the optical band gap and the transmission rate: both the band gap and spectral transmittance values of the films decreased for higher coumarin content. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
