Click to Download Data : An Event Study of Internet Access to Economic Statistics

This study examines the online access statistics of the Central Bank of Turkey's Electronic Data Delivery System within an event study framework. The comparisons of pre-event and post-event statistics suggest that announcements of both the policy interest rates and the consumer price data considerably affect society's data access behavior. The timing and amplitude of these effects are further studied with respect to inflation expectations and surprise content of events; yet no solid pattern was revealed.Data access, Macroeconomic data, Market efficiency, Event study

Advances in plasmonic technologies for point of care applications

Infectious diseases have considerable economic and societal impact on developing settings. For instance, malaria is observed more commonly in sub-Saharan Africa and India. The societal impact of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and tuberculosis is high, through targeting adults in villages and leaving behind declining populations. Highly sensitive and specific lab assays such as cell culture methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are available for diagnosis of infectious diseases in the developed world. They require sample transportation, manual preparation steps, and skilled and well-trained technicians. These clinical conventional methods provide results in several hours to days, precluding rapid detection and response at the primary care settings. Another diagnostic challenge is identifying multiple pathogens

Physical model for subsurface silicon writing

We have recently reported a direct laser writing method enabling buried structures deep inside silicon. Here we study the formation of these subsurface structures. We take advantage of Nonlinearity Engineering to understand this new phenomenon. © 2015 IEEE

Computer-generated holograms embedded in bulk silicon with nonlinear laser lithography

Recently, we have showed a direct laser writing method to form subsurface structures inside silicon by exploiting nonlinear interactions. Here, we demonstrate utilization of this phenomenon to create computer-generated holograms buried in silicon. � 2016 OSA

Highly stable periodic structures using nonlinear laser lithography

Nonlinear laser lithography (NLL) emerged as a novel surface structuring method allowing long-range periodic order. We present mathematical formalism for NLL, analysis of structure stability to perturbations and a way to control final tiling patterns. © 2015 IEEE
