Estimation of Exterior Parameters of Sensor Combination for Efficient 3D Modeling
ISPRS-Commission V Mid-Term Symposium on Close Range Image Measurement Technique -- JUN 21-24, 2010 -- Newcastle upon Tyne, ENGLANDLaser scanning is the latest method to collect 3D spatial data and modelling. It becomes more and more popular in engineering applications such as 3D modeling, deformation analysis, reverse engineering and urban planning. However, laser scanners are not sufficient on their own for 3D surveying and modeling. It should be used together with the photogrammetric data especially in the orientation of point clouds, measurement of the non-scanning areas, and texture mapping. This task needs the combination of range sensor and image sensor. The sensor combination like this is a very efficient and flexible system for close-range measurement applications. Most of the laser scanners include integrated camera but most of them are low resolution and they can not be removed independent from the scanner. Therefore high resolution camera should be mounted to the laser scanner. In this study we consider mounting a camera onto laser scanner and estimating exterior parameters with strong control methods. We also made experimental studies by using exterior parameters.ISPRS CommissScientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey ( TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK); "Foreign Research Scholarship Program" to Cihan ALTUNTAS; Vienna University of Technology; Scientific Research Found of The Selcuk University ( BAP)We would like to thank The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey ( TUBITAK) for the financial support they have provided as a part of "Foreign Research Scholarship Program" to Cihan ALTUNTAS to the carried out this study in Vienna University of Technology.

Phase transitions, elastic and electronic properties of hydrogen storage Na2PdH4
Hydrogen can be absorbed by some materials at specific pressures and temperatures. This is extremely important in terms of creating carbon-free and sustainable society. In this work hydrides are good candidates to fulfill these aims. Electronic and magnetic properties of hydrides are investigated. This study considers Na2PdH4 as solid storage of hydrogen material. Hydrogen is highly soluble in palladium and can be stored in large amounts at ambient conditions. The structural evolution, electronic and elastic properties of Na2PdH4 has been investigated by means of density functional theory. The SIESTA software package is used with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation functional and norm-conserving Troullier-Martins pseudopotentials. High-pressure computations have been carried out to reveal phase transitions. Na2PdH4 is transformed from I4/mmm tetragonal structure to Immm orthorhombic structure at 100 GPa. The electronic band structures and density of states are obtained for both phases. Mechanical stability is analyzed using the elastic constants. Moreover, several parameters such as Young's modulus, shear modulus, and their ratios are obtained and discussed. © 2021 Author(s)
BIST’te işlem gören işletmelerin hisse senedi değerini etkileyen faktörler
Hisse senetleri piyasasında işlem yapan kişilerin ve kurumların kararlarının belirlenmesinde en önemli faktörlerden biri hisse senedinin içinde bulunduğu borsa endeksidir. Bu tez çalışmasının amacı, BIST TÜM-100, BIST 100 ve BIST SINAİ endeksleri ile enflasyon, faiz, altın ve dolar makro ekonomik değişkenleri arasında ilişki olup olmadığını, eğer varsa ilişkinin büyüklüğünü araştırmaktır. Uygulamada, Ocak 2009 döneminden Aralık 2016 dönemine kadar aylık verilerden oluşan veri seti kullanılmıştır. Modelde her bir değişken için 96 adet gözlem kullanılarak analize başlanmıştır. BIST TÜM-100, BIST 100 ve BIST SINAİ Hisse Senedi Endeksleri her bir analiz için bağımlı değişkenler olarak tanımlanmış ve Altın, Faiz, Enflasyon ve Dolar fiyatları ise bağımsız değişkenler olarak tanımlanarak "Çoklu Doğrusal Regresyon Yöntemi" ile analiz yapılmıştır. Çoklu Doğrusal Regresyon Yöntemi ile yapılan analiz sonucunda değişkenler arasında çoklu doğrusal bağıntı problemine rastlanması nedeniyle, "Ridge Regresyon Yöntemi" ile analize devam edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, enflasyon, altın ve dolar değişkenleri ile BİST TÜM-100 değişkeni arasında; enflasyon ve dolar değişkenleri ile BİST100 değişkeni arasında; enflasyon ve altın değişkenleri ile BİSTSINAİ değişkeni arasında ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir
Decentralized multi-agent path finding framework and strategies based on automated negotiation
This paper introduces a negotiation framework to solve the Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) Problem for self-interested agents in a decentralized fashion. The framework aims to achieve a good trade-off between the privacy of the agents and the effectiveness of solutions. Accordingly, a token-based bilateral negotiation protocol and two negotiation strategies are presented. The experimental results over four different settings of the MAPF problem show that the proposed approach could find conflict-free path solutions albeit suboptimally, especially when the search space is large and high-density. In contrast, Explicit Estimation Conflict-Based Search (EECBS) struggles to find optimal solutions. Besides, deploying a sophisticated negotiation strategy that utilizes information about local density for generating alternative paths can yield remarkably better solution performance in this negotiation framework.Interactive Intelligenc
A Pedagogical Stylistic Study of “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros
Knowing about the linguistic and stylistic features of any literary texts in general and the aspect of lexical pattern in particular, concerning the way through which the author uses adjectives, verbs, nouns and adverbs provide us with precious information that can be helpful in judging about the appropriateness of the text to be used for a specific purpose such as teaching to EFL students in a specific level. Therefore, according to the importance of this issue, and based on the checklist of linguistic and stylistic categories proposed by Leech and Short (2000), the stylistic analysis of the short story entitled “Eleven” written by Sandra Cisneros was performed in this study from the lexical category dimension. In the end, the results and findings of the study are elaborated and discussed, with the conclusion that the author was successful in using the appropriate diction and linguistic features to express her main points from the tongue of an Eleven-year-old kid who is also ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, two and one year old.

Relations of Grand Duchy of Lithuania with Tatars and Karaites before Union of Lublin at 1569
Bozkır atlı göçebeleri tarihleri boyunca hep bir kültür taşıyıcıları olmuşlardır. Bunu sadece yüksek hareketlilikleri sayesinde değil ayrıca hem kendi ürettikleri hem de etraftan etkileşerek aldıkları siyasal, kültürel, teknolojik öğe ve yapıları işleyip kullanarak bir değişim ve geliştirme süreci yaratmalarından da gelmektedir. Baltıklarda tarih devirlerine ve orta çağa komşularına nazaran son derece geç giren Litvanya tarih sahnesine çıkışıyla birlikte yeryüzünün gördüğü en büyük bozkır imparatorluklarından biri olan Moğollar ve Altın Ordu ile aynı coğrafyayı paylaşmak durumunda kaldı. Bu zorda kalmak bir anlamda da onun gelişmesinin önünü de açmış oldu. Bölgedeki diğer başat aktörler sırayla dönemin en büyük gücü olan Altın Orda tarafından hâkimiyet altına alınırken Litvanya sürece kendini iç dinamikleri ve bu iç dinamiklerinin getirdiği hareketlilik sayesinde yükseldi. Altın Orda ise kendi çöküşünü getiren hanedan içi çatışmaların yıkımında kendini şekillendirmesinin durması ile tarih sayfasından büyük balık olma durumundan daha geri rollere çekildi. Lakin bu aşamada dahi askeri açıdan Litvanya'ya Jalgiris muharebesinde olduğu gibi ilk bakışta fark edilmeyen bir dizi büyük tesir bıraktı.Mounted steppe nomads are always be culture transporters through the history. They succeeded this not only thanks to their mobility but also processing the political, cultural, technological facts and structures as well as the ones they produced so they created a progress of change and development. Lithuania in Baltics entered the era of recorded history quite late compared to their neighbors. And as they emergence in era of history they had to share the same geographical area with greatest steppe empires of the history; Mongols and Golden Horde. This burden also cleared the way for them so while other major actors were dominated by Golden Horde which was mightiest of its era Lithuania rose thanks to its internal dynamics and its mobility. Golden Horde suffered from inter-dynasty strifes which caused a halt to reshaping itself so it diminished from being large fish to lesser roles. Even in this period Golden Horde gave great impacts in military matters like Battle of Žalgiris which may be unnoticeable at first sight
