In this MSc. thesis, we have attempted to give an overview of the firewall paradox and various approaches towards its resolution. After an introductory chapter on some basic concepts in quantum field theory in curved spacetimes such as Hawking radiation, we introduce the paradox. It arises out of application of principles each of which is thought or assumed to be correct: 1) unitary black hole evaporation, 2) validity of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, 3) a measure of the number of black hole quantum states, 4) Einstein's equivalence principle. Then, we present various approaches that exist in the literature towards the resolution of the paradox.

Subject Keywords

A Comparative study for the production of recombinant intracellular glucose isomerase by escherichia coli and pichia pastoris Yaman, Sena; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Biotechnology (2014) In this M.Sc. study, intracellular thermostable glucose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.5) production capacities of two metabolically engineered microorganisms, Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris, were investigated. In this context, to construct intracellular glucose isomerase (GI) producing recombinant P. pastoris, the cells were transfected with pPICZ-A expression vector containing GI coding gene (xylA) of Thermus thermophilus. After the confirmation of the transfection, effects of co-carbon source sorbitol were in...
Investigation of thermostable recombinant glucose isomerase production by sucrose utilizing escherichia coli Akdağ, Burcu; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Biotechnology (2013) The aim of this M.Sc. thesis is to investigate the production of thermostable glucose isomerase (GI; EC 5.3.1.5) by metabolically engineered sucrose-utilizing Escherichia coli in the designed molasses-based production media. Throughout the experiments the cell growth, sucrose consumption, recombinant GI activity, and by-product concentrations were analyzed. For this purpose, in the first part of this thesis, pRSETA plasmid carrying the thermostable GI encoding gene from Thermus thermophilus (xylA) was isola...
Comparison of advanced modulation schemes for LEO satellite downlink communications Belce, O (2003-11-22) The M.Sc. degree project, whose one major part is explained in this paper, has been accomplished at the University of Surrey by the financial support of TUBITAK-BILTEN inclusive to the remote sensing satellite project BILSAT-1*, which was carried out by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited in UK, collaboration with TUBITAK-BILTEN. This paper explains the methodology and the simulation results of the performances of advanced modulation techniques under the implications of highly dynamic LEO satellite downlink...
Recombinant human growth hormone production under double promoters by Pichia pastoris Yalçınkaya, Duygu; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Chemical Engineering (2017) The aim of the M.Sc. thesis is expression of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) by Pichia pastoris under the double-promoters, namely, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase, engineered and constructed by metabolic- and genetic- engineering methods. The DNA fragment including the promoter region of the P. pastoris pyruvate decarboxylase (PPDC), Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-mating factor (α-MF1) secretion signal sequence, and hGH gene, was amplified from the pPDCZαA::hGH plasm...
The Role of hydraulic loading and nutrients in the ecology of mediterranean shallow lakes Coppens, Jan Emma Pieter; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Department of Biology (2016) In this Ph.D.-research three approaches were used to study the relationship between external nutrient loading, hydraulic loading and in-lake nutrient processes in shallow lakes under different climate conditions: a space-for-time mesocosm experiment on a climate gradient across Europe; time series analysis of long-term water and nutrient budgets of Lakes Eymir and Mogan; a combination of catchment and lake modelling of Lake Mogan under the projected climate conditions for 2020-2090. The mesocosm experiments...
