We implement a. self-organized flocking behavior in a group of mobile robots and analyze its transition front all aligned state to all unaligned state. We briefly describe the robot and the simulator platform together with the observed flocking dynamics. By experimenting with robotic and numerical systems, we find that an aligned-to-unaligned phase transition can be observed in both physical and simulated robots as the noise level is increased, and that this transition depends oil the characteristics of the heading sensors. We extend the Vectorial Network Model to approximate the robot dynamics and show that it displays all equivalent phase transition. By computing analytically the critical noise value and numerically the steady state solutions of this model, we Show that the model matches well the results obtained using detailed physics-based simulations.

Modeling Self-Organized Aggregation in Swarm Robotic Systems Bayindir, Levent; Şahin, Erol (2009-04-02) In this paper, we propose a model for the self-organized aggregation of a swarm of mobile robots. Specifically, we use a simple probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA) based aggregation behavior and analyze its performance using both a point-mass and a physics-based simulator and compare the results against the predictions of the model. The results show that the probabilistic model predictions match simulation results and PFSA-based aggregation behaviors with fixed probabilities are unable to generate sc...
Calculation of the dielectric constant as a function of temperature near the smectic AC* phase transition in ferroelectric liquid crystals Kilit, E.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) We calculate here. the dielectric constant E as a function of temperature for the AC* phase transition of a ferroelectric liquid crystal using a mean field model. Using the values of the polarization P and the tilt angle theta, calculated from the mean field model with the P-2 theta(2) coupling for 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'-heptyloxybiphenyl, the dielectric constant E is calculated in the smectic C* phase of this ferroelectric liquid crystal at various temperatures at constant electric fields.
Quantitative Comparison of Approximate Solution Sets for Multicriteria Optimization Problems with Weighted Tchebycheff Preference Function Bozkurt, Bilge; Fowler, John W.; Gel, Esma S.; Kim, Bosun; Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Wallenius, Jyrki (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2010-05-01) We consider. the problem of evaluating the quality of solution sets generated by heuristics for multiple-objective combinatorial optimization problems. We extend previous research on the integrated preference functional (IPF), which assigns a scalar value to a given discrete set of nondominated points so that the weighted Tchebycheff function can be used as the underlying implicit value function. This extension is useful because modeling the decision maker's value function with the weighted Tchebycheff func...
Determining and Evaluating Ideal Physics Teacher s Characteristics Eryılmaz, Ali (Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi, 1999-01-01) The main purpose of this studyare; to investigate the characteristics of a prospective physics teacher, to evaluate attitudesof preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher, and to evaluate preservice physics teachers' qualifications. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, literature have been searched in detail. Then, a questionnaire was developed to measure preservice physics teachers qualifications and attimdes of preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher. The Que...
Substitution kinetics of Cr(CO)(5)(eta(2)-Z-cyclooctene) with tetracyanoethylene Kozanoglu, F; Saldamli, S; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2002-09-16) The weakly bound Z-cyclooctene (zco) ligand in Cr(CO)(5)(eta(2)-zco) is replaced by tetracyanoethylene (tcne) at an observable rate in the temperature range between - 5 and + 10 degreesC yielding the complex Cr(CO)(5)(eta(2)-tcne) as the final product The kinetics of this substitution reaction was studied in toluene solution containing 5% by volume zco by quantitative FTIR spectroscopy The substitution reaction obeys a pseudo-first order kinetics with respect to the concentration of the starting complex.
