Colloidal Behaviors of Conducting Polymer/Chitosan Composite Particles
In this study, colloidal behaviours of conducting polymer (CP) and chitosan (CS) multi‐functional composite particles were investigated by using electrokinetic measurements. The effects of pH, electrolytes, surfactants and temperature on electrokinetic properties were determined as a function of ζ‐potential of the colloidal dispersions. The obtained result showed that the zeta (ζ)‐potential of CP increases to the higher positive region due to interaction with polycationic CS. Isoelectric points (IEP) of the CP/CS composite are also shifted to higher pH values. The positive ζ‐potential of the composite shifts to more positive regions when the electrolyte valence and cationic surfactant concentration are increased. Also, these ζ‐potential value shifts to negative region with the addition of anionic surfactant. Temperature affects the ζ‐potential of the CP/CS dispersion. As a conclusion, colloidal behaviours of CP/CS composite particles can be altered by using different charged molecules. Therefore, CP/CS composite particles could be a good adsorbent for separation process
Design and walking analysis of proposed four-legged glass cleaning robot
In this study, a legged and wheeled robot model was proposed for cleaning the glass of greenhouses. The robot has four wheels and four legs, each with three degrees of freedom (DOF). The design, kinematic analysis and simulation of the robot was carried out. Glass greenhouses are created by placing glass sheets on T-shaped iron bars arranged in parallel at certain intervals. The robot performs the glass cleaning task by performing two different movements on greenhouse roof. As a first movement, the robot moves like a train moving on the rail on iron bars with wheels, cleaning the glass as it travels. After cleaning the glasses placed between two iron bars along a column, as second movement, the robot passes the next column using legs. These two movements continue until the entire roof of the greenhouse is cleaned. Kinematic analysis of this robot, which is designed with mechanical properties that can make these movements, has been made. Walking simulation of the robot was carried out according to the kinematic analysis. The simulation results showed that this proposed robot can be used to clean glass on the greenhouse roof
1 Mayıs 2003 Bingöl depremi (Mw=6.4) kırılma sürecinin telesismik genişbant P ve SH dalga şekillerinin sonlu-fay ters çözümü yoluyla incelenmesi
06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır.1 Mayıs 2003 Bingöl depreminin uzak-alanda kayıt edilmiş P ve SH hız dalga şekillerinin sonlu-fay kayma-dağılım modelini bulmak için ters çözümü yapıldı. Hartzell ve Heaton(1983) tarafından geliştirilmiş bir doğrusal sonlu-fay ters çözüm yöntemi kullanıldı. Deprem sırasındaki faylanmayı temsil etmek için boyutları 30 km 18 km olan bir model fay düzlemi kullanıldı. Model fay düzlemi, kaymanın uzaysal dağılımının bulunması için 60 fay parçasına bölündü. Başlangıç ters çözüm denemeleri 10 km odak derinliğinin, 2,7 km / sn kırılma hızının, -178o sabit rake açısının ve güneydoğuya doğru tek taraflı bir kırılmanın veriyi en iyi açıkladığını ortaya koymuştur. Rake açısının -90o ile -180o arasında değiştiği değişken rake açılı ters çözüm denemesi, faylanmanın nerdeyse tamamen sağ-yanal olduğunu göstermiştir. Bundan dolayı modellemede sabit rake açısı tercih edilmiştir. Sonuç kayma modeli, deprem kırılmasının odağın 13 km güneydoğusunda ve 5 km eğim yukarısında yerleşmiş, en büyük yer değiştirmesi 85 cm olan bir büyük pürüz tarafından kontrol edildiğini önermektedir. Ana kırılma tek taraflı olarak güneydoğuya doğru yayılmış ve kaymanın 10 km' den daha sığ olduğu, 2015 km2'lik bir fay alanını örtmektedir. Bununla beraber, 15 km derinliğinde 25 cm en büyük kayma genliğine sahip bir kayma alanı daha vardır. Kırılma 10 sn sürmüş ve ana sismik moment serbestlenmesi 3-8 sn zaman aralığında meydana gelmiştir. Tercih edilen kayma modeli için 4,11019 Ntm' lik (Mw6,4) bir sismik moment hesaplanmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: 1 Mayıs 2003 Bingöl depremi, sonlu-fay ters çözümü, uzaysal dağılım, rake açısıTeleseismicaly recorded P and SH velocity waveforms of the 1 May 2003 Bingöl earthquake are inverted to obtain finite-fault slip distribution model. A linear finite-fault inversion technique developed by Hartzell and Heaton (1983) is employed. A model fault plane with dimensions 30 km x 18 km is used to represent faulting during the earthquake. The model fault-plane is divided into 60 subfaults for spatial distribution of slip to be found in the inversion. Initial trials have revealed that a hypocentral depth of 10 km, a rupture velocity of 2,7 km/s, a fixed rake angle of -178o and unilateral rupture toward SE explain the data best. Variable rake ange inversion trial with rake angle varying between -90o and -180o has indicated that the faulting almost pure right-lateral. Therefore, fixed rake angle is preferred in the modeling. The final slip model suggests that the rupture of the earthquake was controlled by a large asperity that is located 13 km southeast and 5 km up-dip of the hpocentre with peak displacement of 85 cm. The main rupture is unilaterally propagated to the SE and covers a fault area of 20 x15 km2 with slip shallower than 10 km. Nevertheless, there is also a slip area at depth of 15 km with peak slip amplitude of 25 cm. The rupture lasted 10 s and the main seismic moment release occurred in the time range of 3-8 s. A seismic moment of 4,1x1019 Ntm (Mw6,4) is estimated for the preferred slip model. Keywords: 1 May 2003 Bingöl earthquake, finite-fault inversion, spatial distribution, rake angl

Assessing the performance of machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine for land use and land cover analysis: A case study of Muğla province, Türkiye
Regions with high tourism density are very sensitive to human activities. Ensuring sustainability by preserving the cultural characteristics and natural structure of these regions is of critical importance in order to transfer these assets to the future world heritage. Detecting and mapping changes in land use and land cover (LULC) using innovative methods within short time intervals are of great importance for both monitoring the regional change and making administrative planning by taking necessary measures in a timely manner. In this context, this study focuses on the creation of a 4-class LULC map of Muğla province over the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform by utilizing three different machine learning algorithms, namely, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Classification and Regression Tree (CART), and on comparison of their accuracy assessments. For improved classification accuracy, as well with the Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellite images, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) are also derived and used in classification of the major land use classes, which are ‘built-up area & barren land’, ‘dense vegetation’, ‘water surface’, and ‘shrub, grassland & sparse vegetation’. Experimental results show that the most relevant algorithm is RF with 0.97 overall accuracy and 0.96 Kappa value, followed by SVM and CART algorithms, respectively. These results indicate that the RF classifier outperforms both SVM and CART classifiers in terms of accuracy. Moreover, based on the results of the RF classifier, 19% (2,429 km2) of the study region is classified as built-up area & barren land, 48% (6,135 km2) as dense vegetation, 2% (301 km2) as water surface and 30% (3,832 km2) as shrub, grassland & sparse vegetation class

Development and Validation of Behaviors toward Gays and Lesbians on Campus Scale
In the literature, there have been many studies measuring homophobic attitudes of heterosexual people. However, there is limited research on behavioral aspects of homophobia. We attempted to develop a new scale measuring homophobic behaviors of heterosexual students toward gay and lesbian individuals on campus life. We developed BGLC (Behaviors toward Gays and Lesbians on Campus) Scale and validated the scale by comparing it with Age Universal I-E Scale, Homophobic Behaviors of Students Scale (HBSS) and Future Engagement in Activities Concerning Homosexual People (FEACHP) in order to study discriminant, convergent and criterion validity, respectively
Effect of a dietary essential oil mixture on performance of laying hens in the summer season
The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplements of either an essential oil mixture (EOM) or a mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) as alternatives to an antibiotic feed additive (avilamycin) for layers kept under hot summer conditions. Four hundred and eighty 54-week old Nick-Brown hens were assigned to four dietary treatments. Each treatment consisted of four replications of 10 cages (three hens per cage). The treatment groups were: 1) Control: Basal diet without additive; 2) Basal diet plus antibiotic (10 mg avilamycin/kg feed); 3) Basal diet plus 1 g MOS/kg feed; 4) Basal diet plus 24 mg EOM/kg feed. Performance of laying hens was affected by dietary treatments. Dietary supplementation of EOM and MOS significantly increased egg production compared with control and antibiotic groups. There were no significant differences in feed consumption between treatments. The EOM significantly improved feed conversion ratio above that of the control group. Egg weights were significantly different between treatments. Laying hens consuming MOS produced significantly lower egg weights than the other groups, while egg weights in the EOM, antibiotic and control groups did not differ significantly. Cracked-broken egg rate was decreased by dietary addition of EOM, MOS and antibiotic compared with the control. Number of deaths among hens was significantly affected by dietary treatments with the number of deaths in the MOS treatment being significantly lower than in the other treatments. The performance of laying hens during the summer season could be maintained with inclusions of EOM and MOS in the diet.
