    Determinants of entry decision to military high schools : a case study of recruitment policies
    (2003) Apan, Hamit
    Towards 21st century, recruitment and selection have become one of the most important topics in Human Resource Management literature. For that matter, the recruitment of officers in the year 2003 and beyond constitutes one of the main challenges for the Turkish Army (TUAR) as well. Since military high schools are army’s main sources of officers, they have become the main focus of this study. In this study, it is aimed to figure out the likely factors that might have an effect on individuals' minds when deciding on entering a Military High School.

    Mathematical models of evolution
    (1992) Özaktaş, Hakan
    Two categories of evolutionary models are analyzed. The first category is the so-called autogenesis phenomenon. The emergence of self-organization, which has been discussed previously by Csanyi and Kampis is verified. The model is extended to an interrelated multi-level autogenesis system. Similarly, self-organization is observed in a hierarchical order for ea.ch level. The second category is the optimization model ol evolution. An ongoing process of consecutive LP runs associated with random perturbation of the parameters at each step, is designed to simulate the evolutionary mechanisms (mutations, variations and selection) and the population dynamics of a hypothetical ecological system. Two diihu'ent LP ajrproaches for Lotka-Volterra systems are compared and contrastc'd. A brief history of evolution a.nd some mathematical models that have been constructed up to date are also descrilred in the beginning chapter.
