Influence of Beams Distribution on the Dynamic and Seismic Linear Response of RC Frame Buildings

The present study compares the dynamic properties and seismic performances offered by reinforced concrete frame structures characterized by different beams distribution. The understanding of the influence of beams distribution on spatial frames is not only useful when dealing with the seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings that may show unusual layouts of beams, such as alternating beams at each storey, but also when facing the design of new buildings with fluid viscous dampers for which some structural flexibility is required. A systematic study is described in this paper. Four (2-, 3-, 6-, and 10-storey) regular frame buildings with rectangular plan are considered as reference structures. Different models are developed according to various layouts of the primary beams, exploring alternatives to the full three-dimensional organisation of beams and frames. For instance: beams placed along the longitudinal direction at the odd storeys and placed along the transversal direction at the even storeys, and vice versa; alternating beams every one and two storeys; beams just placed along one direction. Modal analysis has been conducted to evaluate the influence of beams distribution on the dynamic properties (periods of vibration and modal participating mass ratios). Response spectrum analysis and linear time-history dynamic analysis have been carried out to assess the effects of beams distribution on the fundamental seismic response parameters (shear forces, bending moments, top-storey displacements, interstorey drifts, and floor accelerations). On the contrary of what could be expected, the results indicate that structures with beams alternating every storey may show interesting advantages in terms of reduced total base shear, almost comparable bending moments and accelerations, within a still balanced overall behaviour along the two directions, with respect to the complete three-dimensional frame. Two effects are recognized: the period effect and the static scheme effect. The former acting basically on the storey shear forces; the latter acting mainly on the bending moments

Determination of the accumulator plants in Kucukcekmece Lake (Istanbul)

Soils are polluted by actions like using commercial fertilizers, pesticides, soil regulators and hormones to increase the amount and quality of agricultural production, discharge of soil and liquid wastes, performing wastewater sludge applications, using polluted waters in agricultural irrigation, atmospheric precipitations and radioactive sprays. It is an important environmental problem to reform and clean the soils polluted with heavy metals. Phytoremediation is a measure which uses several plants to remove the pollutants from water and soil to reduce, completely extract, control or immobilize them. The plants used for this reason are referred to as the accumulators. Metal accumulation can occur in several different families like small annual grass to perennial bushes and trees. For remediation or cleaning of the soils polluted with heavy metals, the ideal plant species are the ones which can produce high amounts of biomass, and can accumulate and tolerate the pollutants. In this study, the Cd and Zn contents obtained from Kucukcekmece Lake border were monitored on monthly basis and it was aimed at determining the plant species with accumulation ability. The plants chosen for this activity were Labiatae galatica, Compositae cardueae, Cypereace carex, and Phragmites australis. Compositae cardueae was the most efficient species in terms of mean heavy metal intake performance.Key words: Heavy metals, accumulators, phytoremediation, soil pollution, Cd, Zn

Co-occurrence of Mild Salinity and Drought Synergistically Enhances Biomass and Grain Retardation in Wheat

In the present study we analyzed the responses of wheat to mild salinity and drought with special emphasis on the so far unclarified interaction of these important stress factors by using high-throughput phenotyping approaches. Measurements were performed on 14 genotypes of different geographic origin (Austria, Azerbaijan, and Serbia). The data obtained by non-invasive digital RGB imaging of leaf/shoot area reflect well the differences in total biomass measured at the end of the cultivation period demonstrating that leaf/shoot imaging can be reliably used to predict biomass differences among different cultivars and stress conditions. On the other hand, the leaf/shoot area has only a limited potential to predict grain yield. Comparison of gas exchange parameters with biomass accumulation showed that suppression of CO2 fixation due to stomatal closure is the principal cause behind decreased biomass accumulation under drought, salt and drought plus salt stresses. Correlation between grain yield and dry biomass is tighter when salt- and drought stress occur simultaneously than in the well-watered control, or in the presence of only salinity or drought, showing that natural variation of biomass partitioning to grains is suppressed by severe stress conditions. Comparison of yield data show that higher biomass and grain yield can be expected under salt (and salt plus drought) stress from those cultivars which have high yield parameters when exposed to drought stress alone. However, relative yield tolerance under drought stress is not a good indicator of yield tolerance under salt (and salt plus drought) drought stress. Harvest index of the studied cultivars ranged between 0.38 and 0.57 under well watered conditions and decreased only to a small extent (0.37-0.55) even when total biomass was decreased by 90% under the combined salt plus drought stress. It is concluded that the co-occurrence of mild salinity and drought can induce large biomass and grain yield losses in wheat due to synergistic interaction of these important stress factors. We could also identify wheat cultivars, which show high yield parameters under the combined effects of salinity and drought demonstrating the potential of complex plant phenotyping in breeding for drought and salinity stress tolerance in crop plants

Synergistic Antibacterial Effects of Metallic Nanoparticle Combinations

© The Author(s) 2019.Metallic nanoparticles have unique antimicrobial properties that make them suitable for use within medical and pharmaceutical devices to prevent the spread of infection in healthcare. The use of nanoparticles in healthcare is on the increase with silver being used in many devices. However, not all metallic nanoparticles can target and kill all disease-causing bacteria. To overcome this, a combination of several different metallic nanoparticles were used in this study to compare effects of multiple metallic nanoparticles when in combination than when used singly, as single elemental nanoparticles (SENPs), against two common hospital acquired pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas. aeruginosa). Flow cytometry LIVE/DEAD assay was used to determine rates of cell death within a bacterial population when exposed to the nanoparticles. Results were analysed using linear models to compare effectiveness of three different metallic nanoparticles, tungsten carbide (WC), silver (Ag) and copper (Cu), in combination and separately. Results show that when the nanoparticles are placed in combination (NPCs), antimicrobial effects significantly increase than when compared with SENPs (P < 0.01). This study demonstrates that certain metallic nanoparticles can be used in combination to improve the antimicrobial efficiency in destroying morphologically distinct pathogens within the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.Peer reviewe

Criminological specificity of war crimes, their difference from crimes against humanity and genocide

At the present day sometimes crime of genocide is practically described as a crime against humanity, and the latter is characterized as war crimes. Although some similarity does exist between these kinds of crimes, they have different peculiarities by their constituent elements. These peculiarities possibly may be linked with warfare, but it wouldn’t be correct to bind them entirely with warfare. This difference can be found even in the charters of international criminal tribunals, particularly in various articles of Statute of the International Criminal Court: crime of genocide in Article 6, crimes against humanity in Article 7, and war crimes in Article 8 respectively. Unlike war crimes, crimes against humanity and crime of genocide can be perpetrated both in times of warfare and peace. It’s always important to distinguish the latter from war crimes

New right policies in Turkey

Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Kamu Yönetimi Ana Bilim Dalı, Kamu Yönetimi Bilim Dalı1980 sonrası dönemde İngiltere`de ve Amerika`da, Thatcher ve Reagan yönetimi ile siyasal pratikte uygulanma şansı bulan neo-liberalizmi Türkiye`ye getiren ve siyasal arenada yerini almış olan parti Anavatan Partisi'dir. 1970'li yıllarda yaşanan global ekonomik krizle birlikte, 80'lerde Avrupa ve Amerika`da yeni sağ akımı gelişmiştir. Türkiye'de de 24 Ocak 1980 Kararlarıyla başlayıp günümüze kadar gelişen süreçte yeni sağ uygulamalar hayat bulmuş, gerek ulusal gerekse uluslararası gelişmelere bağlı olarak siyasal, ekonomik ve toplumsal çerçevelerde yeni bir toplum dinamiği ve dokusu belirginleşmiştir. Aynı dönemde Cumhuriyet tarihinin en yoğun "yeniden yapılanma"sı olarak adlanırılan devlete bakış açısı değişimi yaşanmıştır. Değişimle birlikte bazı değer sistemleri değişerek yeni yapıya uygun hale gelmiştir. Batı dünyası ile entegrasyon çabaları ve küreselleşme ile birlikte ekonomik açıdan ciddi ilerlemeler olurken bazı sorunların da ortaya çıktığı açıktır. Bu perspektiften bakıldığında siyasal, ekonomik ve toplumsal yeniden yapılanma gereksiniminin ve yeniden yapılanma sürecinin Türkiye'nin tarihsel gerçekleri ve gelenekleri ile tanımlanması temel gereklilik olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu tezde 80'li yıllar ANAP Türkiye'si ile siyasal hayata giren yeni sağın, 90`lı yıllarda ve sonrasındaki uygulanmasının Türk siyasi hayatında ortaya çıkardığı değişimleri ele almaktayız. Bu bağlamda Anavatan Partisi'nden günümüze yeni sağın gelişim süreci irdelenmiş, Türk toplumsal, ekonomik ve siyasal yapısının dönem politikalarından ne düzeyde etkilendiği değerlendirilmiştir. 90`lı kayıp yılların ardından AK Parti ile yeniden bir canlanma bulan Yeni Sağ, 13 yıllık kesintisiz bir uygulama dönemi yaşamıştır. Küreselleşme olgusunun ideolojisini oluşturmakta olan yeni sağ, felsefesinde serbest piyasa görüşü ile dünyanın neredeyse bütün ülkelerinin ekonomik hayatına sızmıştır. Bu tez ile Batı neo-liberalizmine biçim olarak benzer olsa da, içerik olarak bazı farklı noktalar barındıran Türk yeni sağında yaşanan gelişmeler ışığında gelinen noktanın açıklanması hedeflenmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Yeni sağ, AK Parti, Anavatan Partisi, Küreselleşme,Liberalizm, Muhafazakarlık.The Motherland Party is the one that has taken its place in political arena and that brought neo-liberalism to Turkey which had been practiced by Thatcher and Reagan administration respectively in England and in the USA after 1980`s. Due to the global economic crisis occurred in 1970`s, New Right ideas had risen in Europe and in the USA during 1980`s. New Right applications were originated in Turkey with the decisions taken on 24 January 1980. A new society dynamics and structure has energed in political, economic and social contexts basedon national and international developments. At the same time there has been a change in relation to the understanding of state, which is called "rebuilding" by some. Value systems have been also transformed and adapted to the new structure. It is clear that together with the integration efforts with the West and economic globalization, while there has been some advancement in terms of economy, some problems have also arisen. From this point of view, it is essential to take into consideration Turkey's historical realities and traditions when thinking about political, economic and social rebuilding process. In this thesis, we deal with the new right policies that have taken part in political life with Motherland Party period of Turkey in 80's, and the changes resulting from their application to Turkey's political life in 90's and afterwords. In this context the development process of new right since Motherland Party up to now has been examined, and how Turkey's social, economic and political structure was affected by these policies has been evaluated. After 90's reviving with AK Party, the New Right has witnessed an application period of 13 years without interruption. By generating the idelogy of globalization, New Right has penetrated approximately to all countries economic life with its free market philosophy. This thesis aims to make clear the point to which resulted by the development in the Turkish New Right that is different from the western one in content, it is similar in form, though. Key words: New right, AK party, Motherland Party, Globalization, Liberalism,Conservatism
