<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In this article we investigated the predominance of six unique dimensions of decisionmaking. We defined those dimensions as rationality, acuity, autonomy, openness, control, and emotion-neutrality. Our data is based on an online survey conducted on a global scale. From this survey, we received a total of 356 responses, of which 204 (57.3%) are females, and 152 (42.70%) are males. Of the respondents, 139 (39.04%) work in the education sector as teachers, academicians, lab instructors, course assistants and the remainder in other occupations. Our results suggest that emotion-neutrality is positively associated with all the dimensions of decision-making except acuity. We found that emotion-neutrality plays a significant role in the decision-making processes. However, female respondents perceive themselves to be less emotion-neutral, a finding that is amplified in the education sector. Thus, female teachers are more likely to make emotional decisions.</jats:p>

On the design of a novel fully compliant spherical four-bar mechanism
Parlaktaş, Volkan; Tanık, Engin; Tanık, Çağıl Merve (SAGE Publications, 2019-9)
<jats:p> In this article, a novel fully compliant spherical four-bar mechanism is introduced and its generalized design methodology is proposed. The original fully compliant mechanism lies on a plane at the free position (undeflected position); therefore, it has the advantages of ease of manufacturing, minimized parts, and no backlash. First, the mobility conditions of the mechanism are obtained. The dimensions of the mechanism are optimally calculated for maximum output rotation, while keeping the deflecti...
Estimation of response errors in complex sample surveys
Fahmi, Fidan Mahmut; Öztaş, H. Ayhan; Batmaz, İnci; Department of Statistics (2013)
In this thesis, simple and correlated response errors are investigated. The optimum interviewer allocation settings has been investigated by using different experimental design models (Nested design, Nested and factorial factors design and Split plot design). The proposed designs considers several stages of an interactive process. Several linear and multiplicative models have been used to explain the factors effecting nonsampling errors. This naturally includes response error models. The response error mode...
Timing observations from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE)
Beklen, Elif; Baykal, Altan; Department of Physics (2004)
In this thesis, RXTE observations of 4U 1907+09 are presented. Timing analysis of these data sets have yielded quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) at orbital phases corresponding to the two flares in every orbital period. Known continuous spin down trend and QPO behaviour at the flares strongly suggest that a transient accretion disk occurs at the flares. Our findings strongly suggested that neutron star passes through the equatorial wind of Be companion star. During these passages a transient disk forms aro...
ON FOUNDATIONS OF PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR GENERALIZED PARTIAL LINEAR MODELS WITH B-SPLINES AND CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION
TAYLAN, PAKİZE; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Liu, Lian (2010-02-04)
Generalized linear models are widely-used statistical techniques. As an extension, generalized partial linear models utilize semiparametric methods and augment the usual parametric terms by a single nonparametric component of a continuous covariate. In this paper, after a short introduction, we present our model in the generalized additive context with a focus on penalized maximum likelihood and on the penalized iteratively reweighted least squares (P-IRLS) problem based on B-splines which is attractive for...
