Gelişli, Kenan; Şeren, Aysel; Babacan, Ali Erden; Çataklı, Aycan; Ersoy, Hakan; Kandemir, Raif
In 2001, rock falls occurred on the southern slope of the Sumela Monastery, which was built on a cliff in Trabzon, north east Turkey, and is visited by many tourists. Considering the steepness of the slope and difficulty of access, rock classifications were made based on seismic wave velocity, rock mass quality (Q), rock quality designation (RQD) and rock mass rating (RMR). The results indicated extremely poor to very poor rock in the cracked, fractured and weathered parts and poor to fair rock in the intact parts of the monastery slope. As a consequence, rock fall, slide and rolling may occur from time to time. These constitute a hazard to the facilities of the monastery and access paths. It is recommended that cracked areas are strengthened with cement-based materials, that accumulated rocks are removed, and that retaining walls are constructed on solid rock around the unstable rock blocks.

Merdan, Mehmet; Gökdoǧan, Ahmet
In this paper, an aproximate analytical method called the differential transform method (DTM) is used as a tool to give approximate solutions of nonlinear oscillators with fractional nonlinearites. The differential transformation method is described in a nuthsell. DTM can simply be applied to linear or nonlinear problems and reduces the required computational effort. The proposed scheme is based on the differential transform method (DTM), Laplace transform and Padé approximants. The results to get the differential transformation method (DTM) are applied Padé approximants. The reliability of this method is investigated by comparison with the classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method and Cos-AT and Sine-AT method. Our the presented method showed results to analytical solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Some plots are gived to shows solutions of nonlinear oscillators with fractional nonlinearites for illustrating the accurately and simplicity of the methods.

The present work describes the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Myosotis alpestris F.W. Schmidt subsp. alpestris (Boraginaceae). The essential oil was obtained from all parts of the plant by microwave distillation and analyzed by GCFID and GC-MS. Forty-seven components representing 88.2 % of the total oil were characterized and the main components of this species were found to be n-nonanal (11.8 %), decanal (10.8 %), n-octanal (10.7 %), hexahydrofanesyl acetone (6.6 %), o-cymene (3.9 %), tetradecanal (3.7 %), eicosanol (2.2 %) and E-β-farnesene (2.0 %). The isolated essential oils of M. alpestris subsp. alpestris was tested for antimicrobial activity against the bacteria Escherichia coli, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Mycobacterium smegmatis and the fungus Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at maximum essential oil concentration in hexane of 1000 μg/mL and they showed only antibacterial activity against fungus bacteria.

Sevim, Bariş; Bayraktar, Alemdar; Altunişik, Ahmet Can; Atamtürktür, Sezer; Birinci, Fatma
Historic masonry arch bridges are vital components of transportation systems in many countries worldwide, ensuring the ready access of goods and services to millions of people. The structural failure of these historic structures would severely and adversely impact the economies of these nations due to the massive disruptions of transportation systems accompanying such failures. To successfully maintain these aging masonry structures, performance assessment must incorporate the unique mechanical characteristics of masonry. Therefore, the preferred analysis technique must go beyond a linear approach. This study assesses the earthquake performance of a restored historical masonry arch bridge through nonlinear finite element analysis incorporating the Drucker-Prager damage criterion. The case study structure is the Mikron Arch Bridge, a nineteenth century Ottoman Era structure built over the Firtina River near Rize, Turkey, and restored in 1998. The Mikron Arch Bridge was first subjected to ambient vibration testing, during which accelerometers were placed at several points on the bridge span to record the bridge vibratory response. The investigators then used Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition and Stochastic Subspace Identification techniques to extract the experimental natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios from these measurements. Experimental results were compared with those obtained by the linear finite element analysis of the bridge. Good agreement between mode shapes was observed during this comparison, though natural frequencies disagree by 8-10%. The boundary conditions of the linear finite element model of Mikron Arch Bridge are adjusted such that the analytical predictions agree with the ambient vibration test results. By introducing the Drucker-Prager damage criterion, the calibrated linear FE model was next extended into a nonlinear model. Nonlinear analysis of seismic behavior of Mikron arch bridge was performed considering the acceleration record of Erzincan earthquake in 1992 that occurred near the Mikron Bridge region. The displacement and stress results were observed to be allowable level of the stone material. Moreover, linear FE model calibrations elicited a significant influence on the nonlinear FE model simulations.

Saribiyik, O.Y.; Serin, S.
In this study, in order to obtain polymeric thiourea compounds which have unsolubulity properties and higher metal content, new reaction pathways based on the use of the template effect were investigated. For this purpose, the reactions between different diamines, such as ethylendiamine, ortho (o-) and para (p-) phenylenediamine, and carbon disulfide (CS2) were investigated and optimized by using the template effect of Ni(II). Catalytic activity of the polymeric structure on oxidation of styrene was also investigated in terms of different parameters such as heat (25 and 80° C), time (4 and 8 h), oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), di-tert-butyl peroxide (DtBP) and solvent (acetonitrile and benzene). The products have been characterized on the basis of analytical and spectral method, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance, gel-permeation chromatography, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, atomic adsorbtion spectrometry, gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry.

Kaya, Ayberk; Bulut, Fikri; Alemdaǧ, Selçuk
In this study, applicability of the excavatability classification systems in underground excavations is investigated. For this purpose, the entrance portal of the Konakönü (Arakli{dotless}-Trabzon) tunnel, excavated in volcanic rocks within the scope of Black Sea coastal highway project, is chosen as pilot study area. The entrance portal of tunnel is excavated through the rocks of Eocene-aged Kabaköy formation of basaltic-andesitic tuffs, aglomerate and basalt. In excavation, basaltic and andesitic tuffs were ripped by using hydraulic breaker; aglomerate and basalt were excavated by using explosives. Based on the results obtained from field and laboratory studies, rock masses are classified in terms of excavatability. According to Pettifer and Fookes (1994), basaltic and andesitic tuffs are included in "hard ripping", aglomerate and basalt in "blasting required" categories. With reference to Tsiambaos and Saroglou (2009), basaltic and andesitic tuffs fall in "ripping", agglomerate and basalt in "hammer and blasting" categories. It was found out that the classifications made according to these two methods are completely compatible with in-situ excavation works. Also, it is determined that the parameters give the best results for determining excavation class in underground excavations are GSI (Geological Strength Index), I s (50) (Point load strength index) and I f (Discontinuity spacing index).

Altunişik, Ahmet Can; Bayraktar, Alemdar; Sevim, Bariş; Özdemir, Hasan
This paper describes a full scale arch type steel highway bridges, its finite element modelling and Operational Modal Analysis. Eynel Highway Bridge which has arch type structural system with a total length of 336 m and located in the AyvacIk county of Samsun, Turkey is selected as a case study. The bridge connects the villages which are separated with Suat Uǧurlu Dam Lake. The three dimensional finite element model is constructed using project drawings and an analytical modal analysis is then performed to generate natural frequencies and mode shapes in the three-orthogonal directions. The ambient vibration tests on the bridge deck under natural excitation such as traffic, human walking and wind loads are conducted using Operational Modal Analysis. Sensitive seismic accelerometers are used to collect signals obtained from the experimental tests. To obtain experimental dynamic characteristics, two output-only system identification methods are employed namely, Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition method in the frequency domain and Stochastic Subspace Identification method in time domain. The correlation between the finite element model and experimental results is studied. Good agreement is found between dynamic characteristics in the all measurement test setups performed on the bridge deck. It is demonstrated that the ambient vibration measurements using Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition and Stochastic Subspace Identification methods are enough to identify the most significant modes of steel highway bridges. It is seen that there are some differences between analytical and experimental natural frequencies and experimental natural frequencies are generally bigger than the others.

The aim of this study was to synthesize human milk fat substitute (HMFS) enriched with medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) by Lipozyme® RM IM-catalyzed acidolysis. The reaction substrates (tripalmitin, hazelnut oil fatty acids and Neobee® fatty acids) were specially chosen to mimic human milk fats and to enrich HMFS with MCFAs. Substrate molar ratio, reaction temperature and enzyme content were used to model and to optimize the reaction conditions via response surface methodology. The experiment was carried out at the optimal condition generated from the model yielded structured lipids with caprylic acid (12.8 g/100 g), capric acid (10.6 g/100 g) and palmitic acid (30 g/100 g). These values were found similar to the values predicted by the model (15.9 g/100 g, 14.1 g/100 g and 33.3 g/100 g). It can be concluded that the potential use of the structured lipids (SLs) produced in infant formulas provide energy source delivering a reduced calorie value for newborn, term and preterm infants.

Döner, Fatih; Thompson, Rod; Stoter, Jantien; Lemmen, Christiaan; Ploeger, Hendrik; van Oosterom, Peter; Zlatanova, Sisi
The increasing complexity and flexibility of modern land use requires that cadastres need to manage information on the third and temporal (fourth) dimension. This article considers the registration of legal space of utility networks in cadastre in this 3D + time (=4D) context. A requirement analysis in three countries that have methods to register utility networks complying with their legal, organizational and technical structure (Turkey, the Netherlands and Queensland, Australia) is the basis for three alternatives for 4D cadastre to register utility networks. The three alternatives are analysed with respect to legal, organizational and technical cadastral requirements. This article presents a case study and a prototype from the Netherlands. In this country by law utilities are considered to be real estate objects with obligatory registration of ownership and geometry. This study shows that the 3D space and separate temporal attributes approach (state-based model) is a very promising solution to maintain temporal changes of utility networks and that this approach is to be preferred above the current practice, where the 3D and temporal aspects are not considered when registering a network.

In this paper, identification of a water tank system is performed, and controller and observer for identified system are constructed. Identification is done via Linear Black Box Identification which consists of unknown parameters; need to be estimated from measured data. Firstly, PRBS Signal is built using data, which is achieved by analyzing step response of the plant and considering that the change in the input signal may not be too large since we are going to use a linear model to indentify a nonlinear process. Considered linear models are ARX, ARMAX and OE, whose results are compared using different criteria such as simulation, correlation, and pole-zero plots. And the chosen model which is an Armax model will be given explaining the reasons why it is chosen. In the next step, controllability and observability tests are performed for chosen Armax model and observer and controller designs are performed. Predictive and filtering observers are constructed to observe the system and state space feedback controllers with and without integrators are constructed to control the system. Depending on the achieved observers and controllers, response of real system and simulation are compared to find best controller and best observer for the water tank system.

Sakin, Mehmet A.; Sayaslan, Abdulvahit; Duzdemir, Oral; Yuksel, Ferhat
In this study, pastaquality- associated characteristics of 25 durum wheat genotypes were investigated. Durum wheat genotypes consisted of 13 advanced experimental lines and 12 registered cultivars that were grown in three different locations of Turkey for 2 yr. Genotype, location, year and their interactions were found to be statistically significant in terms of all investigated quality characteristics. Mean quality parameters for the genotypes varied as follows: yellowberry kernel 1.7-6.1%, pigment content 3.67-8.31 mg kg-1, lipoxygenase (LOX) activity 12.9-27.9 EU g-1, protein content 10.8-11.8% (14% mb), gluten index (GI) 12-61, sodium dodecyl sulphate-sedimentation volume 17.3-28.7 mL, specific sedimentation volume 1.60-2.52 mL. Of the genotypes, 10 contained γ-gliadin 45 and six γ-gliadin 42 proteins. Except for Zenit, none of the registered cultivars and advanced experimental lines investigated in this study were able to meet simultaneously the requirements for high-quality pasta products; yet certain experimental lines prevailing in specific quality characteristics, such as Line-Gdem- 2, Line-Gdem-12 and Line-20, may be used for further breeding purposes. The results of this study also imply that grain yield and quality should be taken collectively into consideration in wheat breeding programs.

Öztürk, Serkan
Characteristics of seismic activity along the North Anatolian Fault Zone are analyzed between 1970 and 2010. Magnitude completeness changes between 2.7 and 2.9 in the North Anatolian Fault Zone. The frequency-magnitude distribution of earthquakes is well represented with a b-value typically close to 1. A clear decrease in temporal distribution of b-value is observed before the strong main shocks. Correlation dimension values are relatively large and the seismic activity is more clustered at larger scales in the North Anatolian Fault Zone. A statistical assessment is made in order to detect the current seismic quiescence anomalies in the beginning of 2010. Eight significant anomalous zones throughout the North Anatolian Fault Zone are detected. These are centered at: (1) 41.08°N-28.58°E (around Silivri), (2) 41. 47°N-29.51°E (in the Black Sea), (3) 40.69°N-29.78°E (including Izmit), (4) 40.26°N-26.46°E (around Gelibolu, Canakkale), (5) 40.59°N-31.03°E (including Duzce fault), (6) 40.86°N-35.30°E (around Amasya), (7) 39.48°N-39.74°E (around Erzincan), and (8) 39.06°N-40.50°E (around Bingol).

Döner, Fatih
Sustainable land use and development require timely, accurate and detailed information of land resources as well as changes in the land resource. 'What is changing in where' question is answered by multiple observations over a period of time. Remote sensing technology provides such a monitoring requirement. The aim of this study was to analyze land use/ land cover (LU/LC) changes between 1975 and 2000 in Gümüs ̧hane, Turkey, using satellite images. Three Landsat images from 1975, 1987 and 2000 were used to determine changes. A post classification technique was used based on a hybrid classification approach (unsupervised and supervised). Images were classified into five LU/LC types; urban, agriculture, forest, pasture and other lands. It is found that significant changes in land cover occurred between the years 1975 and 2000. The results showed an increase in urban, forest and agriculture and a decrease in pasture and other lands between 1975 and 2000. In this period, urban land increased from 1.25 to 3.78% of the total area. While the area of pasture decreased from 26.74 to 23.44% of the total area, the area of forest and agriculture increased from 37.32 to 39.51% and from 8.83 to 13.27%, respectively.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) appeared as a promising alternative for organic fertilization. A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of PGPR and solid cattle manure application on yield, quality, and mineral concentrations of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) under semi arid conditions in Turkey. The treatments included: three manure application rates (i.e. M1, 10; M2, 20; and M3, 30 Mg ha -1), five PGPR strains (i.e. RC11, Bacillus subtilis; RC21, Variovorax paradoxus; RC105, Paenibacillus polymyxa; RP24/3, Paenibacillus polymyxa; and RF29/2, Pseudomonas putida), and a control (without bacteria or manure application). Manure application did not increase yield of Italian ryegrass, whereas the treatments with RC21 and RP24/3 rhizobacteria provided the highest dry matter yield. All PGPR and manure applications increased crude protein concentration of Italian ryegrass. The M3 manure rate and most treatments with PGPR (except RC11) produced greater crude protein yield than that of control. In addition, concentrations of P, S, Mg, Cu, Zn, and Fe in most PGPR and manure applications were greater than those of control.

Altunisik, A.C.; Bayraktar, A.; Sevim, B.
In this paper, ambient and forced vibration tests of a box girder laboratory con-crete bridge model are described to obtain experimental dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios. The bridge deck consists of a main span of 3m and two side span of 1.5m each. The total bridge length is 6m and width of bridge is 0.60m. Heights of the bridge column and bridge deck are 0.80m and 0.30m, respectively. In the forced vibration tests, excitation of the bridge model is induced by an impact hammer. The ambient vibration tests are conducted under natural excitation such as wind and small impact effects. The Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition method in the frequency domain and the Sto-chastic Subspace Identification method in the time domain are used to extract the dynamic characteristics. At the end of the study, dynamic characteristics obtained from ambient and force vibration tests are compared with each other. It is seen that there is a good agreement be-tween both results and they are nearly closed to each other.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) are a class of pharmaceuticals used as antiglaucoma agents, diuretics, antiepileptics, in the management of mountain sickness, gastric and duodenal ulcers, neurological disorders or osteoporosis. We report here the inhibitory capacities of some phenolic compounds against three human CA isozymes (hCA I, hCA II, and hCA VI) and the gill carbonic anhydrase of the teleost fish Dicentrarchus labrax (European seabass) (dCA). The isozymes showed quite diverse inhibition profiles with these compounds. These data may lead to design novel CAIs with a diverse inhibition mechanism compared to sulfonamide/sulfamate inhibitors.

The main goal of this study is to forecast total electricity and hydroelectricity energy generation using historical electricity energy production data in order to determine the future level of electricity and hydroelectricity energy generation in Turkey. For this purpose, Turkey's electricity energy sector was reviewed during the period of 1940-2005. The total electricity and hydroelectricity energy generation were then modelled using historical energy generation data as years with regression analysis. Additionally, the portion that hydroelectric energy generation of Turkey has within total electricity energy production and probable meeting capacity of Turkey's hydroelectric potential of its future total demand was determined. According to the results, it is deduced that hydropower energy will have portion of 13.6% within the total electricity energy generation in 2030. In addition, it is concluded that the whole of Turkey's technical and economical hydroelectric energy potential that is equal 129.9 billion kWh will be used in the year of 2102 if the current trend continues.

Sevim, Bariş; Bayraktar, Alemdar; Can Altunişik, Ahmet
This study determines the water length effects on the modal behavior of a prototype arch dam using Operational and Analytical Modal Analyses. Achievement of this purpose involves construction of a prototype arch dam-reservoir- foundation model under laboratory conditions. In the model, reservoir length was taken to be as much as three times the dam height. To determine the experimental dynamic characteristics of the arch dam using Operational Modal Analysis, ambient vibration tests were implemented for empty reservoir and three different reservoir water lengths. In the ambient vibration tests, the dam was vibrated by natural excitations provided from small impact effects and the response signals were measured using sensitive accelerometers. Operational Modal Analysis software process signals collected from the ambient vibration tests, and Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition and Stochastic Subspace Identification techniques estimated modal parameters of the dams. To validate the experimental results, 3D finite element model of the prototype arch dam was modeled by ANSYS software for empty reservoir and three different reservoir water lengths, and dynamic characteristics of each model were determined analytically. At the end of the study, experimentally and analytically identified dynamic characteristics compared to each other. Also, changes on the natural frequencies along to water length are plotted as graphs. Results suggest that reservoir water complicates the modal behavior of the arch dam significantly.
