During WOMENS HATS the 1930s, a significant number of physicians, nurses, and scientists sought refuge in Turkiye as they fled the oppressive regimes in Nazi Germany and its neighboring countries.They were employed in educational and health institutions in Turkiye, especially at Istanbul University.Although the number decreased in subsequent decade
Beyond Words: The Significance of Phatic Communication in Instant Messaging
Despite its non-informative nature, phatic communication is not a residual, peripheral category without significance, as expressing denotation is not the sole goal for coding and decoding messages.People engaging in phatic talk are not just shallowly conversing out of boredom, but attempting to navigate an intricate web of social bonds, adapt, conn
Benchmarking Machine Learning Algorithms for Instantaneous Net Surface Shortwave Radiation Retrieval Using Remote Sensing Data
Net surface shortwave radiation (NSSR) is one of the most important fundamental parameters in various land processes.Benefiting from its efficient nonlinear fitting ability, machine learning algorithms have a great potential in the retrieval of NSSR.However, few studies have explored the level of accuracy that machine learning algorithms can reach
