    Analysis of ionospheric TEC anomalies for global earthquakes during 2000-2019 with respect to earthquake magnitude (Mw≥6.0)

    Ulukavak, Mustafa; Yalçınkaya, Mualla; Kayıkçı, Emine Tanır; Öztürk, Serkan; Kandemir, Raif; Karslı, Hakan

    In this work, a relationship between ionospheric TEC anomalies and different earthquake magnitude groups before the main shocks was investigated. For this purpose, 2942 global earthquakes with Mw≥6 from 2000 to 2019 and possible ionospheric TEC anomalies that occurred before earthquakes were examined by considering 13 different index values of space weather conditions (geomagnetic storm indices and solar activity indices). Anomalies of ionospheric TEC changes were defined for 15-days before and 4-days after the earthquakes by using 15-days moving median method with the length of 15 days. Earthquakes were first grouped according to their magnitudes, and then negative and positive TEC anomalies in quiet days before the earthquakes were detected. These anomalies were observed as ∼5–13, ∼5-10, ∼5-15, ∼3-13, ∼7-15, ∼1 and ∼5-8 days ago for the earthquakes of 6.0 ≤ Mw<6.5, 6.5 ≤ Mw<7.0, 7.0 ≤ Mw<7.5, 7.5 ≤ Mw<8.0, 8.0 ≤ Mw<8.5, 8.5 ≤ Mw<9.0, and 9.0 ≤ Mw<9.5, respectively. Mean of changes in TEC anomalies of these groups is 44.2 % TECU and we detected that the number of positive anomalies in each group is larger than the number of negative anomalies. Consequently, these analyses clearly show that the day-to-day changes in TEC anomalies may supply significant precursors prior to the global earthquakes (M ≥ 6) in the short-term earthquake prediction for main shocks.

    Distinct contamination indices for evaluating potentially toxic element levels in stream sediments: a case study of the Harşit Stream (NE Turkey)

    Saydam Eker, Çiğdem

    This paper revealed that the level of certain potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be reflected in stream and terrace sediments from Harşit Stream in Northeast Turkey. The potential toxicity of these elements was established by determining and interpreting the enrichment factor (EF), contamination index (Pi), ecological risk index (Eri), modified hazard quotient (mHQ), hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard index (HI). The distribution of PTEs in the sediment samples was non-uniform along the different sites of the stream. The change in concentration was attributed to the release of these elements from different sources (agricultural activities, industrial activities, and gasoline discharges). Results indicated that the stream sediments were locally contaminated by the following PTEs: Pb, As, and Cd based on EF values; Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Cd, and Hg based on Pi; Pb, Cd, and Hg based on Eri; and Pb, As, Cd, and Hg based on mHQ. According to the HQ and HI values of Pb, risks were posed to human health especially to children. Meanwhile, terrace sediments were locally contaminated as follows: Zn and As based on EF; Cu, Pb, Zn, As, and Cd based on Pi; and Zn and Cd based on Eri. The HQ and HI values of As were found to be > 1, suggesting a high chance of health risk to children. The PTE levels and the local distribution pattern revealed that agricultural activities, industrial functions, and gas stations along the stream were probable sources of toxic element contamination in sediments from the Harşit Stream. These findings can help evaluate the potential toxicity risks affecting living organisms.

    A Novel Group Decision-Making Method Based on Linguistic Neutrosophic Maclaurin Symmetric Mean (Revision IV)

    Şahin, Rıdvan; Küçük, Gökçe Dilek

    Linguistic neutrosophic number (LNN) is a specific form of neutrosophic number whose elements are expressed by linguistic terms. Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator is one of the basic collection operators in the modern knowledge fusion theory. Its most important feature is to consider the interrelationships among multiple input arguments. Multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) with linguistic neutrosophic information is considered. First, we present some basic concepts, then we combine the MSM operator with linguistic neutrosophic environment and develop a sequence of linguistic neutrosophic MSM operators which are the linguistic neutrosophic Maclaurin symmetric mean (LNMSM) operator, the weighted linguistic neutrosophic Maclaurin symmetric mean (WLNMSM) operator, linguistic neutrosophic dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (LNDMSM) operator, and the weighted linguistic neutrosophic dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (WLNDMSM) operator. We look into some features of them such as monotonicity, boundedness, and idempotency and then discuss some special situations of these operators. A new idea based on the WLNMSM operator is proposed to solve an MAGDM problem where evaluation information is composed of LNNs. It is worth mentioning that the weight information of the decision-makers (DMs) and the attributes are completely unknown. In conclusion, a comparison analysis is performed with the existing methods. The developed method is based on both the WLNMSM operator which considers the interrelationships among any number of input arguments and LNNs which is a combination of the neutrosophic numbers, linguistic variables. At the same time, it also has the advantages of mentioned components. So, it enables preventing the loss or distortion of the original decision information in the decision-making process.

    Decision making with MABAC method under probabilistic single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy environment

    Şahin, Rıdvan; Altun, Fatma

    Recently, there has been great interest on single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set theory. When compared single valued neutrosophic set, it is more convenient for real life situations. But even in this case, there is still missing data for some decision problems. Probabilistic single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy sets (PSVNHFSs) are defined to solve this problem. Even though it contains more information, it needs some improvements. In this paper, the modified PSVNHFS is defined and some improvements in the theory of PSVNHFS are proposed. Also, we improve some algebraic properties of this set theory and define a distance operator for PSVNHFSs. Then we introduce two aggregation operators called probabilistic single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted arithmetic average (PSVNHFWA) operator and probabilistic single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric average (PSVNHFWG) operator related to algebraic properties presented in this paper. Also, we extend the MABAC method under the probabilistic single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set theory. Finally, we give an illustrative example to demonstrate the stability and reliability of the proposed theory.

    2D and 3D numerical simulations of a reinforced landslide: A case study in NE Turkey

    Ersoy, Hakan; Kaya, Ayberk; Angın, Zekaİ; DaĞ, Serhat

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the slope stability problem that occurred in the Ulubey (NE Turkey) during the construction of a hospital building and to propose a reliable support design. The borehole applications, geophysical surveys, groundwater measurements, soil sampling and SPT were performed to establish the geotechnical model. Based on the site characterization investigations, three units were defined as sliding material, residual regolith and volcanic rocks. Strength parameters of the sliding and residual soil materials were obtained from the back analysis. The long-term performance of the double row-bore piles was proposed as support measures and was controlled using the limit equilibrium (LE) and finite element (FEM) analyses methods under a dynamic condition. The 2D-LE and 2D-FEM analysis results showed that the suggested support design is reliable for long-term stability. The locations of the critical shear surface determined by 2D methods were almost the same as those obtained from 3D-FEM method and the total displacement values obtained from the 3D-FEM model were smaller than those obtained from the 2D-FEM model. These results indicated that 2D and 3D stability analyses were sufficient to evaluate the stability of uncomplex slope geometry when a reliable design with simple solutions was required.

    Light rail line design for East Black Sea region: A case study of Trabzon

    Reis, Hatice Catal; Birinci, Abdulkadir

    Growing cities need to improve transportation in response to the accessibility needs of ever-expanding urban and metropolitan populations. Metropolitan Municipalities have to find low-cost, nature friendly, bus/train/subway transfer, and socially responsible transportation solutions that can meet the accessibility needs of urban residents and assist future economic development in urban areas. In this study, the light rail network was designed for the province of Trabzon by using orthophoto and Landsat satellite images. While this light rail network is being constructed, many criteria such as regional population density, slope, minimum service interval, integration with other transportation networks, geological structure, and proximity to public institutions and organizations have been used together. These criteria are shown with a GIS-based design model. Analysis maps were created by using the conditions/criteria and synthesis maps used in the design model. The 102 km route features 205 stops, extending from Of along to Besikduzu. A combined bus and light rail network will significantly improve public transport access to major public institutions and organizations, sporting and entertainment facilities, universities, schools, health precincts, bazaars, shopping malls. It is foreseen that the light rail system will provide the most suitable, modern, fast, comfortable and safe transportation in the long term considering the number of passengers and many other criteria. This light rail system designed for the province of Trabzon is thought to be a pioneering work for the Black Sea region through the interpretation of the resulting map and route networks.

    Comparative Investigation on Magnetic Behavior of Partial Rare Earth Element (Re: Lu, Yb, and Dy) Substituted Y0.5Re0.5BCO (123) Superconductors

    Öztürk, Ali; Düzgün, İbrahim; Başoğlu, Mehmet; Çelebi, Selahattin

    Partial Re (rare earth elements: Lu, Yb and Dy) substituted YBaCuO (123) superconductors synthesized by solid-state reaction (SSR) procedure have been investigated via x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, a.c. magnetic susceptibility, and d.c. magnetization, and calculations. The measurements of a.c. magnetic susceptibility have been carried out at constant a.c. field amplitude and constant frequency for the samples studied. The temperature dependence of intergranular critical current density (Jcm) has been estimated from the a.c. magnetic susceptibility data. The d.c. magnetization measurements were performed at the temperatures of 5 K, 20 K, and 77 K separately. The variation of critical current density (Jc) with magnetic field (μ0H) has been evaluated from the d.c. magnetization data by using upper and lower branch of the major hysteresis curve. Lu substituted Y0.5Lu0.5BCO (123) sample shows higher critical current density than Yb and Dy substituted samples at low-temperature (lower than 77 K) regions.

    A GENERAL OVERVIEW ON THE REGION-TIME BEHAVIORS OF THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY IN THE MARMARA REGION OF TURKEY

    Öztürk, Serkan; Gerdan, Serpil

    The principal aim of this study is to make a general assessment of the regional and temporal behaviors of the seismicity in the Marmara region of Turkey. For this purpose, the well-known spatio-temporal tools such as Mc-value, b-value, Dc-value, Z-value, recurrence period and annual probability were evaluated. The data catalog is homogeneous for local magnitude, ML, and includes 18,662 events with 0.4≤ML≤5.7 between 2000 and 2020. Earthquake magnitudes change between 1.5 and 3.0 and hence, Mc-value was taken as 2.7. b-value was calculated as 1.14±0.07 and the earthquakes with small magnitude can be effective on this relatively large value. Dc-value was estimated as 1.57±0.03 with a scale invariance from 5.03 to 87.64 km. This moderate value means that distance between the epicenters approaches the diameter of cluster and, earthquake activity is more clustered in larger areas or at smaller scales. Time-magnitude estimations of annual probability and recurrence period indicate that the Marmara region has an intermediate/long terms hazard for the occurrence of strong/large earthquakes. Anomaly regions with low b-value and large Z-value observed at the beginning of 2019 can be considered as the most likely regions for strong/large earthquake occurrences in the next. As a remarkable fact, a correlation and combined interpretation of these seismotectonic parameters may supply a preliminary and essential perspective in the seismic hazard for strong/large earthquake occurrences in the Marmara region of Turkey in the intermediate/long terms.

    Exchange rate pass-through to inflation: The case of Turkey

    Koç, Pinar

    The exchange rate volatility affects to domestic price level via production costs in countries where production level depends largely on import inputs. Turkey is also one of the countries whose production level depends largely on import inputs. Thereby intermediate good import accounts for about of 76 % total import. It is expected that the exchange rate pass-through to inflation is high in Turkey. In this context, in this study, the validity and stability of the pass through effect hypothesis was analyzed in Turkey for the period 1990:01-2019:01. According to the results of the study, the pass-through effect hypothesis is valid in Turkey.

    Effects of voltage on the components of surface integrity of Al2O3 ceramic coatings on AA2024 by plasma electrolytic oxidation

    Matin, Reza; Totik, Yasar; Sukuroglu, Ebru Emine; Efeoglu, Ihsan; Santos, Telmo G.

    It is said that plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is considered as an effective technique to boost the surface properties of light materials by means of forming ceramic films on their surfaces. In this study, three different voltage values were applied to the PEO process to AA2024 so that Al2O3 ceramic coatings were directly supplied for AA 2024 substrates by PEO and it is focused on the adhesion of interface between coating and substrate. All of the cases such as microstructure, phase composition, thickness, roughness and hardness of Al2O3 ceramic coatings were assayed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic-force microscopy (AFM), Eddy Current Non-destructive testing and microhardness test, respectively. The results showed that roughness, hardness and thickness of the coatings were increased as we increased the voltage. Therefore, it could be claimed that the voltage parameters have an important role in the unified coating on the metal surface as it is directly connected with the morphologies of the PEO coating.

    Series tuned mass dampers in vibration control of continuous railway bridges

    Araz, Onur; Kahya, Volkan

    This paper presents the applicability of series tuned mass dampers (STMDs) to reduce the multiple resonant responses of continuous railway bridges under high-speed train. The bridge is modeled by two-span Bernoulli-Euler beam with uniform cross-section, and a STMD device consisting of two TMD units installed on the bridge to reduce its multiple resonant vibrations. The system is assumed to be under the action of a high-speed train passage which is modeled as a series of moving forces. Sequential Programming Technique (SQP) is carried out to find the optimal parameters of the STMD that minimizes the maximum peak responses of the bridge. Comparisons with the results available in the literature are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of STMD system in reducing the multiple resonant responses of the continuous railway bridges under high-speed trains.
