The malaria theme section of this issue of the Bulletin covers a wide range of topics, from combination therapy (pp. 1378–1388) and insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets (pp. 1389–1400) to the possible use of genetically modified Anopheles for vector replacement (pp. 1412–1423), from the use of geographical information systems in the planning, execution and monitoring of interventions (1401–141...

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a metaheuristic optimization algorithm that owes much of its allure to its simplicity and its high effectiveness in solving sophisticated optimization problems. However, since the performance of the standard PSO is prone to being trapped in local extrema, abundant variants of PSO have been proposed by far. For instance, Fuzzy Adaptive PSO (FAPSO) algorithms ...

In this work we tried to solve some non-linear problems of analytic photogrammetry. These problems are also widely flowed into the digital photogrammetry. The model formation considering the solution of the Relative Orientation, and the object reconstruction considering the solution of the Absolute Orientation have non-linear functional models. These models need an exhaustive research of the pr...

Bu araştırmanın konusunu, Kemal İlerici’nin Türk Halk Müziği’nde bir uzun hava türü olan mayadan esinlenerek obua ve piyano için yazmış olduğu “Maya” adlı eserin makamsal açıdan analizi oluşturmaktadır. İlgili literatür tarandığında, dörtlü armoni sisteminin bazı eserlerinin incelendiği çalışmalar bulunmakla birlikte, bu ele alındığı başka çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Durum tespitine dayalı nitel...

The most negative effects caused by noise exposure related to the hearing system are well known and may produce professional or even permanent deafness. Since these effects have very important influence on worker’s health and well-being, it is necessary to evaluate the hearing loss caused by occupational exposure to noise in order to propose preventive solutions. A large number of compensation ...
