Competition in Turkish Banking: Impacts of Restructuring and the Global Financial Crisis
(Wiley, 2014) Yıldırım, Canan
This paper investigates the evolution of competition in the Turkish banking industry by taking into account the transformation in the sector in the aftermath of the country's financial crisis of 2000 to 2001 and the global financial crisis. The results demonstrate that the level of competition in the system did not increase despite the restructuring that was undertaken and the increased foreign bank participation. In addition the level of competition in the sector deteriorated during the global crisis. There is also some evidence that the market power of banks with different ownership characteristics varied and did not converge over time.

Development of a supervised classification method to construct 2D mineral maps on backscattered electron images
(Tubitak, 2020) Çavur, Mahmut; Çavur, Mahmut
The Mineral Liberation Analyzer (MLA) can be used to obtain mineral maps from backscattered electron (BSE) images of particles. This paper proposes an alternative methodology that includes random forest classification, a prospective machine learning algorithm, to develop mineral maps from BSE images. The results show that the overall accuracy and kappa statistic of the proposed method are 97% and 0.94, respectively, proving that random forest classification is accurate. The accuracy indicators also suggest that the proposed method may be applied to classify minerals with similar appearances under BSE imaging. Meanwhile, random forest predicts fewer middling particles with binary and ternary composition, but the MLA predicts more middling particles only with ternary composition. These discrepancies may arise because the MLA, unlike random forest, may also measure the elemental compositions of mineral surfaces below the polished section.

Heuristic Methods for Postoutage Voltage Magnitude Calculations
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2016) Dağ, Hasan; Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Dağ, Hasan
Power systems play a significant role in every aspect of our daily lives. Hence their continuation without any interruption (or with the least duration of interruption due to faults or scheduled maintenances) is one of the key aims of electrical energy providers. As a result electrical energy providers need to check in great detail the integrity of their power systems by performing regular contingency studies of the equipment involved. Among others line and transformer outage simulations constitute an integral part of an electrical management system. Both accuracy and calculation speed depend on the branch outage model and/or the solution algorithms applied. In this paper the local constrained optimization problem of the single-branch outage problem is solved by intelligent methods: particle swarm optimization differential evolution and harmony search. Simulations of IEEE 14- 30- 118- and 300 -bus systems are computed both by intelligent methods and by AC load flow. The results of the intelligent method -based simulations and AC load flow -based simulations are compared in terms of accuracy and computation speed.

The impact of text preprocessing on the prediction of review ratings
(Tubitak, 2020) Dağ, Hasan; Dağ, Hasan
With the increase of e-commerce platforms and online applications, businessmen are looking to have a rating and review system through which they can easily reveal the feelings of customers related to their products and services. It is undeniable from the statistics that online ratings and reviews attract new customers as well as increase sales by means of providing confidence, ratification, opinions, comparisons, merchant credibility, etc. Although considerable research has been devoted to the sentiment analysis for review classification, rather less attention has been paid to the text preprocessing which is a crucial step in opinion mining especially if convenient preprocessing strategies are found out to increase the classification accuracy. In this paper, we concentrate on the impact of simple text preprocessing decisions in order to predict fine-grained review rating stars whereas the majority of previous work focused on the binary distinction of positive vs. negative. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze preprocessing techniques and their influence, at the same time explain the interesting observations and results on the performance of a five-class-based review rating classifier.

A sparsity-preserving spectral preconditioner for power flow analysis
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2016) Yetkin, Emrullah Fatih; Dağ, Hasan
Due to the ever-increasing demand for more detailed and accurate power system simulations the dimensions of mathematical models increase. Although the traditional direct linear equation solvers based on LU factorization are robust they have limited scalability on the parallel platforms. On the other hand simulations of the power system events need to be performed at a reasonable time to assess the results of the unwanted events and to take the necessary remedial actions. Hence to obtain faster solutions for more detailed models parallel platforms should be used. To this end direct solvers can be replaced by Krylov subspace methods (conjugate gradient generalized minimal residuals etc.). Krylov subspace methods need some accelerators to achieve competitive performance. In this article a new preconditioner is proposed for Krylov subspace-based iterative methods. The proposed preconditioner is based on the spectral projectors. It is known that the computational complexity of the spectral projectors is quite high. Therefore we also suggest a new approximate computation technique for spectral projectors as appropriate eigenvalue-based accelerators for efficient computation of power flow problems. The convergence characteristics and sparsity structure of the preconditioners are compared to the well-known black-box preconditioners such as incomplete LU and the results are presented.

Time Space and Closure in Karamanlidika Temasa-i Dunya ve Cefakar u Cefakes : Rewriting Polipathis
(Ahmet Yesevi University, 2018) Şişmanoğlu Şimşek, Şehnaz
This article criticises the argument that then arrative fiction called Temasa-i Dunya ve Cefakar u Cefakes (1871-1872) by Evangelinos Misailidis (1820-1890) an Ottoman Christian-Orthodox citizen is just a mere imitation of the Greek novel O Polipathis (1839). Using mainly Gerard Genette's the oretical framework and narratological concepts it can be said that Misailidis has significantly transformed Polipa this semantically especially in terms of time space and closure in then arrative. Hence this study also focuses on the problem of there writing of a text using varied writing strategies. Finally this article claims that as it contains various writing strategies as well as newnarrativepossibilities Dunya is an original novel that reveals the multilingual Ottoman world and Ottoman literature in then ineteenth century.
