Western modernity has configured and consolidated its temporal category around linearity. Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar's The Time Regulation Institute (1961) offers us a farcical thought experiment on whether linear temporality can function in the lives of the local people in the absence of modernity in the western sense. To impose this imported temporal category on daily mundane reality, Halit Ayarci establishes an institute. The Institute cannot regulate temporality of the local people as they need another category of time that manages to offer continuity between their objective materiality and mental processes. When Ayarci dies, his protege Hayri Irdal loses his spatial and temporal discipline and ends up in a cognitive bewilderment. His bewilderment may represent the collective experience too; therefore, this article claims that both suggestions of temporality, the one coming from the West and the one from the East, cannot function in the context of Istanbul in the novel.

The decay rho(0) -> pi(0)pi(0)gamma and the role of sigma-meson Gokalp, A; Yılmaz, Osman (2001-05-24) We study the radiative decay p(0) --> pi (0)pi (0)gamma within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of sigma -meson and omega -meson intermediate states and of the pion-loops are considered. We conclude that the sigma -meson amplitude makes a substantial contribution.
The orientation dependent electromigration induced healing on the surface cracks and roughness caused by the uniaxial compressive stresses in single crystal metallic thin films Ogurtani, Tarik Omer (AIP Publishing, 2009-09-01) The first order unified linear instability analysis (ULISA) of the governing equation for evolutions of surfaces and interfaces under the capillary, electromigration, and elastostatic forces including the thermomigration (Soret effect) is developed very recently by the author. In the present application of the theory, the concurrent effects of uniaxial applied stresses and the electrostatic field on the sidewall morphological evolution of a single crystal thin metallic film are explored by dynamic computer ...
The Feynman path integral quantization of constrained systems Muslih, S; Guler, Y (1997-01-01) The Feynman path integral for constrained systems is constructed using the canonical formalism introduced by Guler. This approach is applied to a free relativistic particle and Christ-Lee model.
The genus Lepidorbitoides evolution and its stratigraphic significance in some Anatolian basins Turkey ÖZCAN, ERCAN; Altıner, Sevinç (Elsevier BV, 1999-01-01) Evolution of Lepidorbitoides in some flysch basins of Anatolia has been investigated considering the early ontogenesis in horizontal sections. Different developmental states of L. pembergeri, L. campaniensis, L. bisambergensis, L. minor and L. socialis have been described and illustrated with their morphometric features based on the earliest chamber arrangement. A correlation scheme of phylogenetic developmental states of Lepidorbitoides to the planktonic foraminiferal zones is also proposed. Populations wi...
The added utility of nonlinear methods compared to linear methods in rescaling soil moisture products Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2017-07-01) In this study, the added utility of nonlinear rescaling methods relative to linear methods in the framework of creating a homogenous soil moisture time series has been explored. The performances of 31 linear and nonlinear rescaling methods are evaluated by rescaling the Land Parameter Retrieval Model (LPRM) soil moisture datasets to station-basedwatershed average datasets obtained over four United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) watersheds. The linear methods incl...
