Gray's value-puralism: a critical analysis
Parmaksız, Abdullah Umut; Üstüner, Fahriye ; Department of Psychology (2007)
In this study, John Gray’s theory of value-pluralism is critically analyzed. Gray’s modus vivendi, based on Isaiah Berlin’s criticism of monism, is a theory that aims to create the conditions in which peace and diversity in late-modern societies can be protected. Gray argues that a legally pluralistic system where collectives have autonomy is more serving to peace than its liberal alternatives. This study argues that Gray fails to achieve its goal of promoting diversity. This is due to the fact that Gray’s ...
Feedback motion planning of a novel fully actuated unmanned surface vehicle via sequential composition of random elliptical funnels
Özdemir, Oğuz; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-12-27)
This thesis proposes and analyzes a motion planning and control schema for unmanned surface vehicles that fuses sampling-based approaches’ probabilistic completeness with closed-loop approaches’ robustness. The Proposed schema is based on the sequential composition of elliptical funnels, and it consists of two stages: tree generation and motion control. For validation of the approach, we carried out experiments using both simulation and physical setup besides the mathematical analysis. In order to have a co...

Nickel titanium alloys as orthodontic archwires: A narrative review
Uysal, Idil; Yilmaz, Bengi; Atilla, Aykan Onur; Evis, Zafer (2022-12-01)
Nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires have been widely used in orthodontic treatments at the aligning and leveling step which is the initial stage of the treatment. This review presents the concepts related to NiTi archwires from the materials science and engineering perspective. Analysis of the research profile showed that mechanical properties as a research topic constituted 25.9 % of the research articles published in last two decades. The effects of processing parameters, stress and temperature on phase tran...
Generating functions and their applications
Bilgin, Begül; Doğanaksoy, Ali; Department of Cryptography (2010)
Generating functions are important tools that are used in many areas of mathematics and especially statistics. Besides analyzing the general structure of sequences and their asymptotic behavior; these functions, which can be roughly thought as the transformation of sequences into functions, are also used effciently to solve combinatorial problems. In this thesis, the effects of the transformations of generating functions on their corresponding sequences and the effects of the change in sequences on the gene...
