However, despite the success attained in reducing inflation, I would like to underline the fact that we have not reached our final target yet. Turkey is one of the very few countries where double-digit inflation prevails. As I have mentioned repeatedly both at the very beginning of the disinflation program and the point we reached today, our final target is to achieve and maintain price stability.

We study collections of heavy and light small spherical particles initially well mixed with each other, subjected to linear (Stokes) drag force and gravity, and falling through a fluid turbulence. We introduce the segregation power spectrum, which we use to define the segregation length scale. Kinematic simulation predicts that the turbulence can segregate heavy and light falling particles and ...

To investigate the influence of spatial information in auditory scene analysis, polyphonic music (three parts in different timbres) was composed and presented in free field. Each part contained large falling interval jumps in the melody and the task of subjects was to detect these events in one part ("target part") while ignoring the other parts. All parts were either presented from the same lo...

Did European Labor Markets Become More Competitive in the 1990s? Evidence from Estimated Worker Rents This paper analyses the evolution of quantitative measures of employee rents in Europe during the nineties, using the European Household Panel Survey. One looks at two class of measures: wage differentials between workers along industry and firm size dimensions, and estimated welfare difference...

Medical science stands accused of providing an incomplete understanding of health because it is supposedly founded on linearity, reductionism, and positivism. These criticisms misrepresent the scientific method. The alternatives offered by complexity theory, postmodernism, and qualitative research risk falling into the traps that the scientific method avoids. The hypotheticodeductive model of s...
