In this study, a mathematical model for simulating the human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is presented for Turkey’s data. For this purpose, the total population is classified into eight epidemiological compartments, including the super-spreaders. The local stability and sensitivity analysis in terms of the model parameters are discussed, and the basic reproduction number, R0, is derived. The system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved by using the Galerkin finite element method in the FEniCS environment. Furthermore, to guide the interested reader in reproducing the results and/or performing their own simulations, a sample solver is provided. Numerical simulations show that the proposed model is quite convenient for Turkey’s data when used with appropriate parameters.

A data driven epidemic model to analyze and forecast the dynamics of COVID-19 Hasanli, Rza; Uğur, Ömür; Evcin, Cansu; Department of Scientific Computing (2021-8) Due to recent evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, accurate mathematical modelling to capture the dynamics of disease transmission is of vital importance. Since the availability and quality of data differs from region to region, it is very difficult to develop an accurate model from the global perspective. Nevertheless, local predictive models can be developed by collecting data from certain regions. In this thesis, a modified version of Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered-Dead (SEIRD) differential model ...
A Content analysis of articles in Turkish early childhood education context Güvelioğlu, Elif; Tantekin Erden, Feyza; Department of Early Childhood Education (2019) This study was contrived to examine articles in the field of early childhood education published in Turkish academic journals. Under the scope of the study, descriptive and methodological characteristics of the articles were scrutinized while simultaneously conducting an investigation and categorization of their research topics. 822 articles from 62 Turkish academic journals, indexed under SSCI, ESCI, and the educational sciences category of ULAKBIM on early childhood education, published within the past de...
An investigation of the validity and reliability of the adapted mathematics anxiety rating scale-short version (MARS-SV) among Turkish students Baloğlu, Mustafa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-12-01) This study adapted the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale-Short Version (MARS-SV) into Turkish and investigated the validity and reliability of the adapted instrument. Twenty-five bilingual experts agreed on the language validity, and 49 Turkish language experts agreed on the conformity and understandability of the scale's items. Thirty-two subject matter experts' responses provided evidence for content validity. Finally, 475 college students (51.58% men) responded to the adapted scale. Based on the existing ...
An artificial neural network model for virtual Superpave asphalt mixture design Ozturk, Hande I.; Öztürk, Hande Işık (Informa UK Limited, 2014-02-07) This study presents an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the asphalt mixture volumetrics at Superpave gyration levels. The input data-set needed by the algorithm is composed of gradation of the mix, bulk specific gravity of aggregates, low- and high-performance grade of the binder, binder content of the mix and the target number of gyrations (i.e. N-ini, N-des and N-max). The proposed ANN model uses a three-layer scaled conjugate gradient back-propagation (feed-forward) network. The ANN was t...
Modeling and Simulation of High Speed Railway Vehicle Dynamics Tuğçe, Yüksel; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (null; 2015-03-04) This study aims to provide mathematical model(s) for the simulation of high speed railway vehicles. The dynamic behavior of a high speed train is divided into three uncoupled motions: vertical, lateral, and longitudinal. Two models with different complexities are used to simulate vertical plane response of the vehicle to track vertical irregularities. Different wheel-rail contact formulations are utilized to simulate the lateral plane motion of the vehicle on tangent and curved tracks. For both vertical and...
