Indoor positioning has emerged as a hot topic that gained gradual interest from both academia and industry. Accurate estimation is necessitated in a variety of location-based services such as healthcare, repository tracking, and security. Additional equipment for location sensing could be used for accurate estimation, but they are not widely used in general because those alternatives will cause specialization in brands and will be costly. Among all suggestions in literature including hardware and intense sophisticated computations, a versatile and low-cost location determination technology, which uses existing WLAN infrastructure of indoor environments, has been developed without incurring extra charge; this method is rising as a way of positioning. WLAN is capable to be used within an indoor positioning system soon in real environments. It is a good alternative in terms of accuracy, precision and cost, compared to similar systems. Especially with the common usage of smartphones and tablet PCs, it became the most easy-to-use method, too. In this paper, we present a brief survey on such systems, methodologies, techniques and discuss advantages and disadvantages of each of these. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Advanced conjugated systems towards realization of stable n-type materials and high-performance electrochromic polymers
Ghasemi Ahangaran Farahani, Kianoush; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2018)
Electrochromic materials attracted tremendous amount of interest both in academia and industry in recent decades. These materials owe their popularity to their fascinating fundamental spectroelectrochemical properties and their potential commercial applications. On the spectrum of electrochromic materials, electrochromic polymers drawn the attention of the scientific community due to properties such as high flexibility, low-power consumption, ease of processing and low processing cost. Polymers which repres...
Using system dynamics to support strategic decision-making: the case of digitalization in modular construction company
Kaya, Hazal Deniz; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-7)
Digital technologies have become a part of the transformative change of industries for more efficient production, business models, and value chains with the onset of Industry 4.0. The AEC business had to follow this trend due to globalization and the increasing complexity of projects, and the use of digital technologies for innovation has become increasingly common. However, it is common knowledge that the construction industry takes a long time to incorporate new technology and adapt business models to dig...
Development and Validation of Formative Feedback Perceptions Scale in Project Courses for Undergraduate Students
Sat, Mustafa (2017-01-01)
There has been an increasing trend towards project-based approach in higher education. For that reason, assessing and evaluating students' perceptions on formative feedback becomes an important aspect of students' learning in groupwork. Valid and reliable instruments are required to measure how students perceive formative feedback given to them from multiple sources. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to develop and validate a multidimensional formative feedback perception scale (FFPS) for the asses...
High efficiency combined - cycle gas polygenerator for ecological local generation (HEGEL)
Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih(2009-4-30)
Objective is to develop, demonstrate and assess an innovative, high efficiency concept of micro-cogeneration system applied to a real demand site under real operating conditions. The application concept is based on a combined cycle architecture (Combi system) constituted by two integrated cogenerators powered by different prime movers: an innovative reciprocating engine cogenerator and a Rankine engine system (bottoming cycle) operated on the exhaust gases of the reciprocating engine. The location will b...
Comparative analyses of sustainable campuses as living laboratories for managing environmental quality
Kılkış, Şiir (2017-01-01)
Purpose - Despite an emerging trend in the higher education sector toward sustainable campuses, comparative analyses that span multiple themes across multiple campuses are still limited. The purpose of this paper is to reduce such a gap by comparing universities that are members of the International Sustainable Campus Network across themes that are related to environmental quality.
