"A land full of drink and drinkers": aspects of the wine trade in late twelfth- and early thirteenth-century England

Ankara : Institute of Economic and Social Sciences, Bilkent Univ., 1999.Thesis(Master's) -- Bilkent University, 1999.Includes bibliographical refences.English wine trade in late twelfth-and early thirteenth- century is not thoroughly examined by the scholars of the economic history of medieval Europe. This period witnessed an increase in the commerce of wine between England and France. Troubles on the continental possessions of England somehow affected the course of the wine trade, but never decreased the flow of wine fleets through the Channel. The government of King John paid a particular attention to this voluminous trade and tried to control it. Regulations and also privileges aiming to increase the volume of the wine trade and, hence the revenues from this commerce were imposed on wine merchants. These operations caused an increase in the trade and in the consumption of this valuable commodity of the Middle Ages in England.Demir, BurakM.S

Comparison of short- and long-term ASR test methods on cementitious composites

Concrete has a significant place in construction structures, is a material that can be easily damaged due to incorrect design, incorrect material selection. Concrete may be damaged by physical and chemical factors. One of these factors is the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). ASTM C1260, is a short-term test method, and ASTM C227, is a long-term test method, are used to measure effect of alkali-silica reaction. In this study, the effect of fly ash additive use with 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.% replacement of cement was investigated in short- and long-term ASR test methods. For this purpose, while samples prepared for ASTM C1260 were kept in NaOH solution 14-days, samples prepared for ASTM C227 were waited 360-days in normal water solution. As a result; mortar bars with 20% fly ash additive ratio were classified as harmless for ASR in both test methods

Analysis on Loneliness Levels of Students in Summer School of Physical Education and Sports School

The purpose of this study is to analyze the loneliness levels of students studying in 2017-2018 summer school of Balıkesir University School of Physical Education and Sports by some demographic characteristics. This is a descriptive study. The research population is composed of 865 students studying in 2017-2018 summer school of Balıkesir University School of Physical Education and Sports and the sample is composed of randomly selected 348 students. “UCLA Loneliness Scale” adapted into Turkish by Demir (1989) was applied in the study. The overall reliability of the loneliness scale was found to be α = 0.74. Kolmogorov Smirnov test was evaluated for the conformity of UCLA Loneliness Scale to the normal distribution in data analysis. Since all data were observed not to be normally distributed, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests ranked among the non-parametric tests were performed to compare the loneliness levels. All analyses were performed with SPSS v17.0 (SPSS Science, Chicago, IL, USA). In conclusion, it has been determined that the loneliness levels of the participants are high (51.07%), there is no statistically significant difference by the variables of sex, age, adequate leisure time, recreation and the place of residence while significant differences have been observed by the variables of department, branch and grade

EXAMINATION OF SELF-CONFIDENCE OF INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN MOUNTAINEERING AND SEARCH AND RESCUE

The aim of this study is to examine the self-confidence relevance of the individuals who mountaineer and individuals who are part of search and rescue operations. Two hundred seventy nine persons voluntarily participated in the research. The research data was collected using the self-confidence scale developed by Akın (2007). There are a total of 33 articles in the scale. The scale is composed of two factors. These are the two sub dimensions being interior self-confidence and exterior self-confidence. The data collected was analyzed through the statistical package program (SPSS 16.0) and the results were interpreted. In our study, the Cronbach’s Alpha Value of the scale was calculated as 0.89. The One Way ANOVA and T-test were used in the evaluation of the research data. In the research, as regards the gender, branch, experience, age and marital status, meaningful correlations were identified. As a result, athletes who performed search and rescue have higher self-confidence than those who mountaineer. Since both fields involve risky activities, it is recommended for the athletes who are involved in outdoor sports to be encouraged to get into search and rescue operations. Regular activities and training would improve self-confidence.  Article visualizations

Boşluk oranının görüntü işleme yardımıyla bulunması

Void fraction is one of the key parameters for defining the characteristics of a two phase flow. However, determination of void fraction is not easy due to changing conditions of flow and the type of fluid. In literature, there are plenty of works on determination of void fraction in two-phase flow in a pipe or channel which uses psychical parameters and properties of the system, flow and fluid. Since there are plenty number of correlations for various flow types, an experimental method has been suggested to determine the void fraction according to flow type without using any physical parameter of the flow and fluid. Image visualization methods have been applied to two-phase flow of refrigerant R600a in a circular tube. The images from high speed photography have been processed using a software developed with MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox. The results were also compared with the well-known correlations.Boşluk oranı iki fazlı akışta akışın karakterini tanımlamak için kullanılan önemli parametrelerden biridir. Bununla beraber değişken akış koşulları ve akış türü nedeniyle boşluk oranını belirlemek çok kolay değildir. Literatürde bir boru veya kanal içinde boşluk oranını tanımlama üzere sistem, akış ve akışkan ile ilgili parametreleri kullanan pek çok model bulunmaktadır. Farklı akış tipleri için pek çok korelasyon bulunduğu için bu çalışmada akışla ilgili herhangi bir parametre kullanmayan bir deneysel yöntem önerilmiştir. Görüntü işleme yöntemi R600a akışkanının dairesel bir boru içerisinde iki fazlı akışına uygulanmıştır. Yüksek hızlı kamera ile elde edilen görüntüler MATLAB görüntü işleme aracını kullanarak geliştirilen bir yazılımda işlenmiştir. Ayrıca sonuçlar literatürde sık kullanılan korelasyonlarla karşılaştırılmıştır

A Case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease Associated With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

We report a female patient diagnosed as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). She has diagnosed as VKH with diminished vision, bilateral serous retinal detachment, the signs of fundus fluorescein angiography and the findings of optical coherence tomography. The patient was referred to the gynecology clinic for her complaints as weight gain, hirsutismus and amenorrhea. She has also been diagnosed with PCOS. With oral steroid treatment, visual acuity has improved and the detachments have resolved within a month. VKH disease may be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome. The two conditions may have a common autoimmune pathogenesis
