Traveling waves in one-dimensional nonlinear models of strain-limiting viscoelasticity

In this article we investigate traveling wave solutions of a nonlinear differential equation describing the behaviour of one-dimensional viscoelastic medium with implicit constitutive relations. We focus on a subclass of such models known as the strain-limiting models introduced by Rajagopal. To describe the response of viscoelastic solids we assume a nonlinear relationship among the linearized strain, the strain rate and the Cauchy stress. We then concentrate on traveling wave solutions that correspond to the heteroclinic connections between the two constant states. We establish conditions for the existence of such solutions, and find those solutions, explicitly, implicitly or numerically, for various forms of the nonlinear constitutive relation

Türkiye’de Organik Bal Üretiminin Yıllara Göre Değişiminin Regresyon Analizi ile İncelenmesi Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de 2004-2016 yılları arasındaki organik bal üretimdeki değişimler regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Regresyon analizinde, lineer, kuadratik, kübik, logaritmik ve ters regresyon modelleri karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu modeller ile elde edilen R2 değerleri sırasıyla; 0,16; 0,62; 0,70; 0,37; 0,52, R ̅^2 değerleri 0,08; 0,54; 0.60; 0.31; 0.48 ve hata kareler ortalaması (HKO) değerleri 48743,01; 24376,61; 21228,61; 36580,48; 27563,47 olarak bulunmuştur. Parametre tahminleri anlamlı bulunan, R ̅^2 değeri en yüksek ve HKO değeri en düşük olan kuadratik regresyon modeli en uygun model olmuştur. Bu regresyon modeline göre, 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında organik bal üretim miktarının sırasıyla; 693 ve 891 ton olacağı tahmin edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aynı dönem içinde organik olmayan bal üretiminin regresyon analizi de yapılmış ve lineer regresyon modeli en uygun model olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu model için R2=0,77 ve R ̅^2=0,75 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, organik ve organik olmayan bal üretim miktarlarının farklı regresyon modelleri ile tahmin edilebileceği kanısına varılmıştır

Farm-Level Feed Demand in Turkey

Using farm-level survey data from Turkey, the authors provide estimates of the price responsiveness of feed demand beef, dairy, and sheep producers. In addition, the authors assess the impact of feed quality on animal yields in the Turkish dairy cattle sector

Self-cannibalism: The man who eats himself

Self-mutilation is a general term for a variety of forms of intentional self-harm without the wish to die. Although there have been many reports of self-mutilation injuries in the literature, none have reported self-cannibalism after self-mutilation. In this article we present a patient with selfcannibalism following self-mutilation. A 34-year-old male patient was brought to the emergency department from the prison with a laceration on the right leg. Physical examination revealed a well-demarcated rectangular soft tissue defect on his right thigh. The prison authorities stated that the prisoner had cut his thigh with a knife and had eaten the flesh

Deindustrialization in cities of the global south

Recent research by economists has shown that deindustrialization is more severe in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America than it ever was in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Nevertheless, most research on deindustrialization is focused on the former centres of Fordist manufacturing in the industrial heartlands of the North Atlantic. In short, there is a mismatch between where deindustrialization is researched and where it is occurring, and the objective of this paper is to shift the geographical focus of research on deindustrialization to the Global South. Case studies from Argentina, India, Tanzania and Turkey demonstrate the variegated nature of deindustrialization beyond the North Atlantic. In the process, it is demonstrated that cities in the Global South can inform wider theoretical discussions on the impacts of deindustrialization at the urban scale

Crystal and molecular structure of the yellow form of chloro(2,2': 6', 2¨-terpyridine) platinum (II) chloride dihydrate, [Pt(terpy)Cl]Cl·2H2O

The synthesis, characterization, and X-ray crystal structure of the yellow dimorph, [Pt(terpy)Cl]Cl·2H2O, are reported. The yellow acicular crystals are monoclinic: space group P21/n, a = 6.908(3) Å, b = 17.06700(11) Å, c = 13. 8390(10) Å, ß = 98.607(4)°, and Dcalc =2.204 Mg m-3 for Z = 4. The cation consists of platinum coordinated to tridentate terpyridine ligand and to chloride ion. The coordination geometry is essentially square-planar with distortions arising from the constraints of the terpyridine ligand. Bond distances are within the acceptable limits of predicted values. The cations stack in a head-to-tail orientation with an intermolecular Pt-Pt distance of 3.39 Å
