On the concept of "field" in architectural theory and practice
Kuzlu, Emre; Aközer, Emel; Department of Architecture (2004)
This study aims at explaining the significance of the أfieldؤ concept in contemporary architecture and urbanism, in reference to the technical definitions of the term in different disciplines. In this context, it investigates the concepts of أfieldؤ in physics, psychology, art theory and criticism. It highlights the reinterpretation of the أfieldؤ concept in physics by eminent Gestalt psychologists, and its consequences for architecture and urbanism. Starting from the definitions of the concept of أfieldؤ b...
On the parametric and nonparametric prediction methods for electricity load forecasting
Erişen, Esra; İyigün, Cem; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013)
Accurate electricity load forecasting is of great importance in deregulated electricity markets. Market participants can reap significant financial benefits by improving their electricity load forecasts. Electricity load exhibits a complex time series structure with nonlinear relationships between the variables. Hence, new models with higher capabilities to capture such nonlinear relationships need to be developed and tested. In this thesis, we present a parametric and a nonparametric method for short-term ...

On the implementation of opensim: applications of marker-based and inertial measurement unit based systems
Biçer, Meti; Tönük, Ergin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
The gait analysis system of METU Mechanical Engineering Department was established in the mid 1990s. The measurement technique is based on capturing the marker locations by means of video-cameras. The software packages employed are responsible for processing of video-camera images to obtain the 3-D positions of markers attached to specific locations of body and inverse kinematics and dynamics to reveal the joint angles, forces and moments during a gait. The first goal of the study is to analyze alternative ...
On the concept of irony in Rorty
Erdoğan, Alper; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2010)
Irony has for long been on the boundary between philosophy and arts owing to its both verbal/logical character and its aesthetic appeal. Recently, Rorty proposed irony as the main discursive attitude in a liberal society. In this study, I investigate liberal irony from a philosophical perspective. More specifically, I demonstrate that irony is representative of a certain view of subjectivity and an ethical stance, a critical tool that is of special importance in a coherence view of truth and a rhetorical fo...
