    U–Pb zircon ages and petrogenesis of the Late Cretaceous I-type granitoids in arc setting, Eastern Pontides, NE Turkey

    Kaygusuz, Abdullah; Arslan, Mehmet; Temizel, İrfan; CemYücel; Aydınçakır, Emre

    The Eastern Pontides Orogenic Belt (EPOB) as a well-preserved ancient magmatic arc situated in the eastern part of the Sakarya Zone and has key importance to allow for proper reconstruction of the geodynamic evolution of the region. The region accepted as important part of Alpine–Himalayan Belt comprises of many granitoids of the Late Cretaceous age. This paper presents new mineral chemistry, bulk-rock petrochemistry, U-Pb geochronology and radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry data from the Arpaköy and Oyman granitoids in the north part of the EPOB to interpretation of the igneous activity and geodynamic evolution of the region in Late Cretaceous era. Emplacement ages of 86.82 ± 0.58 Ma for the Oyman granitoid and 82.0 ± 2.3 Ma for the Arpaköy granitoid according to laser ablation ICP-MS U–Pb zircon dating. The Arpaköy granitoid are gabbro diorite, diorite and granite, whereas the Oyman granitoid are tonalite and granite in composition. They show metaluminous-peraluminous transitional (ASI = 0.79–1.20) low to medium-K calc-alkaline features. The rock samples from granitoids are characterized by enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and high field strength elements (HFSE) depletion with concave-upward shapes (LaN/LuN = 1.88 to 6.04). The crystallization temperatures are 648 °C–913 °C and the pressure values are 0.2–3.0 kbar, which indicates emplacement depth of the studied granitoids varying from ~1 to 9 km correspond to shallow crustal depths. They show considerable variations in εNd(i) (−4.02 to 1.50) and 87Sr/86Sr(i) (0.70478–0.70689). The 206Pb/204Pb ratios are between 17.97 and 18.65, and δ18O are varying from +5.4 to +9.3‰. The parental magma of the Arpaköy and Oyman granitoids originated from a melt of the enriched lithospheric mantle and the fractional crystallization and lesser assimilation processes has important role on the evolution of magmas in the shallow crustal levels.

    Safer-Driving: Application of Deep Transfer Learning to Build Intelligent Transportation Systems

    Ünlü, Ramazan

    Deep learning methods are widely used in the field of transportation as well as in many areas. These days, deep learning methods produce very successful results thanks to big data, where data collection and storage are much easier than in past years. However, it can be quite difficult to collect data or find the right data in some cases. On the other hand, even if the desired data is collected enough, training deep neural networks to learn from these data may not be comfortable in terms of hardware needed for ordinary users. In these cases, transfer learning can be an exit point, which is very popular in deep understanding, especially when the amount of data is limited. In this study, we have aimed to give comprehensive guidance on using a transfer learning strategy to create a detection model to establish a safer transportation system. More specifically, we have developed a classification model to alleviate accidents due to deer on the road. We have implemented VGG-16 convolutional neural network architecture as a part of the structured transfer learning framework. Computational results show that high accuracy performance can be achieved by implementing VGG-16 with the respectively small size of a dataset.

    Constrained adaptive backstepping control of a semi-active suspension considering suspension travel limits

    Yıldız, Ali Suat; Sivrioğlu, Selim

    In this article, a new constrained adaptive backstepping control design is presented for vibration suppression of the quarter car suspension system equipped with a magnetorheological (MR) damper. In the controller design, parametric uncertainties related to suspension parameter and the semi-active actuator are considered. Also, the proposed controller is investigated, along with the designed road profiles based on the International Standard Organization (ISO) 8608 classification and tested under different speed conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed controller has been validated through comparisons with uncontrolled, passive, and separately designed adaptive control cases. According to the simulation and experimental results, the proposed control approach improves ride comfort and ride safety without violating suspension rattle space constraint despite the uncertainties in suspension parameters.

    Effect of far infrared heating process on surface decontamination and quality attributes of whole yellow and white onions

    Coskun, Eda; Ozturk, Samet; Akpinar, Merve; Halkman, A. Kadir; Erdogdu, Ferruh

    This study aimed to develop an effective decontamination process for whole yellow and white onions with maintained quality attributes. For this purpose, a far infrared radiation (FIR) process was evaluated to determine its effects on microbial safety and quality of the onions. Prior to the FIR process, samples were inoculated with Salmonella culture to about 7–8 log10 CFU/cm2 and stored for 1–48 h at room temperature. Inoculated samples were then processed up to 120 s at 400 °C infrared source temperature. Temperature chance of the onions was recorded by using T-type thermocouples, and surface temperature distribution was obtained with an infrared thermal camera. Quality attributes (color changes, mass losses and textural changes) were also evaluated following the FIR process. The results indicated that 3.3 and 2.4 log10 CFU/cm2 reductions in the Salmonella counts were obtained for the whole yellow and white onions, stored for 1 h at room temperature after 120 s FIR processing. The background microbial population on the outer skin of the onions was under the detection limit (<1 log10 CFU/g). It was observed that the effectiveness of FIR treatment on Salmonella decontamination decreased as the storage time increased from 1 to 48 h at room temperature. FIR process did not significantly affect the quality attributes of the onions, and the results confirmed the potential use of FIR process for surface decontamination of the onions. Further studies were suggested to design an effective FIR system for industrial scale applications.

    The effect of pozzolans and mineral wastes on alkali-silica reaction in recycled aggregated mortar

    Külekçi, Gökhan

    In this study, it was aimed to examine recycled aggregates (RA), which are considered as aggregates, in terms of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) before being used in concrete, to determine the risk status and to reduce the ASR value. In order to reduce and stop the ASR, the cement was replaced with clay brick and fly-ash by 10–40 %. Marble waste and Pb-Zn mine waste were used instead of RA in order to reduce aggregate reactivity. At the end of 28 days, compared to the control sample, it was observed that mortar bar samples containing tailings instead of fine RA has 18 % less expansion and marble waste (MW) added samples again instead of fine RA has 34 % less expansion. Furthermore, 40 % fly ash (FA) added samples decreased the level of ASR for 96 %, and in 10 % clay brick mixed samples ASR formation is decreased to 85 %. As a result, recycled aggregates were determined to be reactive for ASR. It has been determined that marble and lead-zinc mine facility wastes added as replace with to RA reduce the expansion effect by ASR in the cement paste. With this study, it has contributed to the safe use of the increasing use of RA in the world.

    The measurement of employee welfare and its effects on the output level

    Kocağ, Esra Karapinar

    Welfare, in general, refers to both economic and social prosperity of individuals. From an economic point of view, individuals are very important actors of the labour market in the production process. This chapter focuses on employees and attempts to offer a valuable insight into the concept of welfare, its measurement, and its potential impact on the national product. Measuring welfare is not straightforward due to its multidimensional concept. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a way of measurement of employee welfare through an index that combines selected welfare components of employees. In the process of building that index, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied. Preserving variability and reducing dimensionality, this method is a very functional tool to represent multidimensional variables such as welfare in this case. Eurostat data for the period of 2008-2018 were utilized to explain the impact of employee welfare on the GDP per capita for 32 European countries. Findings revealed that employee welfare is a significant indicator of the national product.

    Wear, Corrosion and Tribocorrosion Behavior of Polyurethane and Polyvinylpyrrolidone Blends as Coating for Corrosion Protection of AISI 316L Stainless Steel

    Taşdemir, Muharrem; Şenaslan, Fatih; Çelik, Ayhan

    Polyurethanes (PUs) are used across a widely from biomaterials to industrial applications due to their versatile properties. Polyurethane is blended with other polymers to improve their physical and thermal properties. In this study, different concentrations of polyurethane and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) blends were applied to AISI 316L stainless steel using the dip coating method as protection against wear and corrosion. The effects of different concentrations of blends on the mechanical, corrosion and tribocorrosion properties of the AISI 316L stainless steel were investigated. The phase structure of polymer coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and their surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion and tribocorrosion tests of the polymer coated samples were carried out in 3.5% NaCl solutions. The surface roughness and nanohardness of the polymeric coated samples were also measured. It was found that surface roughness and friction coefficient increased with raised concentration of PVP, while wear and corrosion resistance decreased with the increased of PVP concentration in the coating. As the penetration depth of the PU coated sample increased, the nanohardness and elasticity modulus decreased. Coatings containing PVP up to 25% protected the substrate surface under tribocorrosion conditions in NaCl solutions.

    The First Measurement for Mass Attenuation Coefficients, Effective Atomic Numbers, and Electron Densities of Y123 and Y358 High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) for the Energies from 46.6 to 1332 keV

    Düzgün, İbrahim

    Y123 and Y358 high-temperature superconductor phases have experimental mass attenuation coefficients (MAC) determined at 46.5, 81, 122, 302, 356, 383, 662, 1173, and 1332 keV photon energies. The experimental values have been compared with theoretical values acquired employing the XCOM software and database. It has been observed that the theoretical and the empirical results were in perfect agreement. Also, it has been seen that the comparison of the MACs for all specimens examined with the corresponding photon energies complies with the exponential absorption law. The effective atomic numbers (Zeff) and electron densities (Nel) of Y123 and Y358 superconducting phases in different energy ranges have determined experimentally and theoretically. The Y358 superconductor specimen is a relatively better absorber than the Y123 between 40 and 100 keV.

    Performance evaluation of IEEE 802.15.7 CSK modulation under blue shift effect of optical receiver filters

    Küçük, Mehmet Ali; Türk, Kadir

    In recent years, the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in lighting, which has higher energy efficiency and longer-lasting environmentally friendly lighting compared to conventional lighting devices, has accelerated the development of a promising new technology for short-range wireless optical transmission called visible light communication (VLC). Besides other applications, VLC switches the LEDs at very high speeds to simultaneously realize indoor lighting and data transmission. But the intensity and color of the lighting may vary because of data transmission. Color shift keying (CSK) modulation defined in the IEEE 802.15.7 VLC standard guarantees constant light intensity and color. The CSK receiver uses a band-pass optical filter to separate the light channels. However, the transition band of optical filters shifts towards the blue wavelength depending on the incidence angle of the light which is called the blue shift effect. In this paper, the performance of the CSK receiver is investigated for the first time under the blue shift effect in the case of single and multiple transmitter LED cells. The numerical results show that the blue shift effect significantly decreases system performance. To eliminate the distorting effect, various methods and an adaptive equalizer-based CSK receiver are proposed. The proposed structures provide notable improvement.

    Automatic extraction of trees by using multiple return properties of the lidar point cloud

    Ozdemir, Samed; Akbulut, Zeynep; Karsli, Fevzi; Acar, Hayrettin

    Airborne laser scanning has been a valuable tool for forestry applications since it began to be used commercially. Thanks to the high 3D resolution provided by the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point cloud, it has provided great convenience in complex 3D modeling processes needed for forestry applications such as forest inventory, forest management, determination of carbon stocks and the characterization of biodiversity. LiDAR data provides a new dimension in forestry applications with its high 3D resolution and multiple return characteristics. The extraction of woodland areas from the LiDAR point cloud has great importance for automating the determination of tree heights, species and stand frequency which will be used for generating canopy height models (CHM). In this study, woodland areas in the urban scene were automatically extracted by using the multiple return properties of the LiDAR point cloud. The proposed approach consists of three major steps namely pre-processing, parameter calculation and k-d tree search for trees which were implemented in MATLAB. In the first step, multiple return points have been identified from the LiDAR point cloud, which will be then used to determine possible tree locations. Then, by using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm, neighborhood relations among the multi return points which were extracted from the initial point cloud data, were formed and a rule-based filter was applied by taking advantage of neighborhood relations. In addition, the initial point cloud was filtered with the Cloth Simulation Filtering (CSF) algorithm to separate ground and non-ground points where non-ground points used to extract trees. In the second step, non-vegetation points were removed by applying a threshold based on the change of curvature and planarity parameters, which are derived from the filtered non–ground point cloud. In the last step, in order to extract trees, a k-d tree structure was created from the filtered non-ground points to find nearest neighbors of each multi return point within a given diameter in the k-d tree structure. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the approach, the extracted boundaries were compared with the manually digitized woodland boundaries from the true orthophoto of the study area using correctness, completeness and quality metrics.
