Analysis of women’s participation on Turkish publicly traded company boards

In 2012, Turkish Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMBT) took the first step about increasing women’s participation on Turkish publicly traded company boards with a soft law. However, under the framework of the Corporate Governance Principles of CMBT, the regulation did not have the intended impact and had very limited application. In order to draw attention to the issue and extend the influence of the regulation, supportive projects were launched in Turkey.

tudies on majoon aarad khurma and its granules prepared with stevia, with reference to the standardization and toxicity evaluation

There is a huge treasure of Compound drugs described in various pharmacopoeias that have developed as a result of painstaking and cumulative efforts of elite scholars of Unani medicine. However, there has always been scope for inclusion of new compound drugs whose safety and efficacy has been proved scientifically. Majoon Aarad Khurma which is widely used as an effective aphrodisiac is prepared with sugar as base. It is contraindicated in diabetic patients who are suffering from sexual dysfunctions.

Land use mixing and urban infrastructure

Land use in urban areas are to date being regulated within the frame work of a development plan. One of the key components of the development plan is a proposed land use plan for a target year. Zoning is now a major tool for regulation of land use in urban area. Urban structure of the city is meant to provide facilities to the people. So, either the people go to the facilities or the facilities come to the people. The former part deals with zoning concept and zoning based urban structure is transport oriented.

Experimental analysis based on optical model and electromagnetic properties of multilayer absorbers

This research aims to contribute with the design optimization of multilayer absorber material applicable in stealth technologies. This study involves a pre-analysis of the electromagnetic properties of five individual plates (absorbing layers), considering the reflection and transmission coefficients. From these characteristics was established the best combinations of the individual layers in sets of three layers. For this, five plates based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) matrix loaded with carbon black (2-50 phr) were processed.

Head and neck posture in young adults with chronic neck pain

Neck pain is very common in the general population. Every individual would have experienced neck pain at some point in their life. Some might have had acute and some with chronic. Chronic neck pain affects range of motion and limits the functional capacity of neck. Because of chronic neck pain, neck muscles undergo spasm and gets fatigue soon. This leads to altered head and neck posture. Hence there is a need to find what trait or feature in the chronic neck pain lead to altered posture.

Novelties in microwave mixer design: new diode model, schematics and layout possibilities

Design steps of a 10 GHz diode mixer of a novel structure have been reported. In our earlier publication [1], the diode half H mixer was discovered at MHz frequencies (Fig. 1). In this paper, we show the 10 GHz realization of this mixer. First, diode modelling is detailed. A novel nonlinear DC model comprising of two ideal diodes in series with different parameters improves model accuracy compared to the case of one diode.

Acute toxicity evaluation of granules of majoon aarad khurma prepared with stevia rebaudiana as sweetener

Majoon Aarad Khurma (MAK) is a famous traditional Unani medicine formula. It has been used in the treatment of diseases including Jeryan (Spermatorrhea), Muqawwiea Bah (Aphrodisiac) and Mughallize Mani. In present study an important Unani compound formulation Majoon Aarad Khurma has been modified into granular form using natural sweetening agent Stevia rebaudiana it is new dosage form. According to development of new dosage form there is need of safety profile. A new drug is always studied for its toxic effects so that its safety profile and therapeutic dose range can be determined.

Artificial intelligence contribution to modern research

Focusing on examples of knowledge systems and machine learning, this paper illustrates the transfer of AI technology from science to real-world applications. Decades of AI research precede a rather short but significant period, in which companies report the useful exploitation of AI technology. This paper illustrates the role played by science, and it argues that AI is just beginning to produce an ever increasingly variety of real world applications.

Current advancements and future enhancements in wireless communication

Wireless communication is the transfer of any information over some distance without the use of wires. Radio, or the use of radiated electromagnetic waves, is the only practical way of communicating with people or vehicles that move around on land, on the sea, in the air, or in outer space. It is the use of electromagnetic waves that permits the transmission and reception of information over a distance without the use of wires.

A proposed approach for image de-noising

The search for efficient image de-noising methods still is a valid challenge, at the crossing of functional analysis and statistics. In spite of the sophistication of the recently proposed methods, most algorithms have not yet attained a desirable level of applicability. All show an outstanding performance when the image model corresponds to the algorithm assumptions, but fail in general and create artifacts or remove image structures.
