1. Gursoy-Tezcan, Akile; Infant mortality: a Turkish puzzle?: In this paper I examine the problem of high infant and child mortality in Turkey. In view of my research results, I argue for a re-evaluation of the theoretical paradigm that views childhood issues primarily in relation to mothers rather than within the dynamics of a broader cultural context. The present emphasis on mothers as a primary key to the problem reflects an extensive and implicit conceptualization of 'motherhood' that has penetrated scientific discourse and methodology. The research results presented here show that in our Istanbul sample most of the factors related to high child mortality are household and cultural conditions encircling the mother, and that only a few of the factors are direct attributes of the mother herself. These results have significant implications for research and policy on child health. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.88)

1. Sam Johnson; ON THE EFFECT OF DENSITY ON GRAVITATIONAL ATTRACTION, AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR CHEMICAL BONDING: We are familiar only with very low density matter (a few grams per cubic centimeter). However, neutron stars and atomic nuclei are millions of times denser. Unfortunately, these extremely high density forms were not known in Sir Isaac Newton's time, so that he did not concern himself with the effects of extreme density on gravitational attraction.For the sake of argument, let us imagine a planet with the same mass as the Earth but with a much smaller radius, a planet that is millions of times denser than Earth (a neutron planet). Furthermore, let us imagine that Newton is able to measure gravity as he approaches the planet. As he reaches a distance of one Earth radius away form the center of the tiny planet, he would expect to experience the same gravity that he experienced standing on Cambrian soil, since the mass and the distance are the same. However, much to his amazement the gravitational pull is considerably greater. As he reflects on the phenomenon, he realizes that when he was standing in Cambridge, the innumerable millions of terrestrial atoms were pulling on him in different directions, so that atoms in Istanbul and New York were not pulling him exactly toward the center of the earth. On the other hand, as he hovers one Earth radius away from the center of the tiny planet (with a radius of a few km), most of the particles that make up the planet are pulling in a direction very close to the planet's center, so that the gravitational pull is increased. Furthermore, as Newton calls Einstein to report his discovery, the latter responds elated that he is not surprised, since gravity is created when matter distorts space and a greater density should distort space more, causing a greater curvature in the direction of the smaller planet.One interesting application of this fact would be to conclude that the gravitational forces between nuclei, which are extremely dense particles) are not as small as would be predicted by Newton's formula. Therefore, they are not negligible, as many chemists assume, arguing that gravitational forces (according to Newton) are many orders of magnitude smaller than electromagnetic forces. In other words, the extremely dense nuclei cause so much curvature in the inter atomic space, that gravity can play an important role in chemical bonding. This may help explain why D₂O can be toxic to the human body and why diamond made with carbon 13 is harder than natural diamond, in spite of the accepted dogma that isotopes are chemically perfectly interchangeable.

1. Oral, Timur; A CONTEMPORARY TURKISH COFFEEHOUSE DESIGN BASED ON HISTORIC TRADITIONS: Eric Wiedegreen, Muzaffer Uysal, Jeanette Bowker; (in English) The custom of coffee drinking in Turkey dates back to the sixteenth century coffeehouses of Istanbul, which were once important forums for community integration. Even though coffee drinking today is still an important custom in Turkey, traditional coffeehouses have lost their importance in urban areas and are rapidly being replaced by contemporary cafes that promote European themes. With the new generation placing less emphasis on traditional values and accepting a modernized lifestyle, the existence of Turkish coffeehouse culture is struggling to survive. The purpose of this thesis project was to develop a design concept for a contemporary Turkish coffeehouse franchise retaining important aspects of the traditional coffeehouses of the past. Historic features were identified through observations and visual recordings of historic Turkish coffeehouses and interviews with older patrons of traditional coffeehouses. Focus group discussions were held with graduate and undergraduate Turkish students enrolled at Virginia Tech to obtain information on their perceptions of traditional coffeehouses and responses to the idea of a contemporary coffeehouse. Based on the information gathered, design criteria were established for the design of individual coffeehouse components with a consistent image, adaptable to various sites and spaces. Coffeehouse logo, nameplate, and facade designs were proposed. Presentations for the design included detailed elevations, plans, sketches, and perspective views.
