- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Effects of elevation on the aboveground biomass and carbon stock in the oriental beech (Fagus orientalis lipsky) forests of the Sinop region, Turkey
Kahyaoğlu, N.; Kara, Ö.; Güvendi, E.
In this study it was our aim to assess the amount of aboveground biomass and carbon stock of beech stands based on elevation. To achieve this, in the research area, 55 trial sites were chosen by selective sampling method depending on elevation climatic zones (400–600 m, 600–800 m, 800–1000 m). In these trial areas, 55 trees were cut down and the weights of their bark, leaves, stem and branches were determined. The carbon content of each component was calculated. The results of the study showed that, in all elevation zones, the stem wood had the highest average biomass and carbon stock values of all the tree components (for the 400–600 m, biomass was 199.19 kg and carbon stock was 95.82 kg; for the 600–800 m, biomass was 378.75 kg and carbon stock was 182.49 kg; for the 800–1000 m, biomass was 372.56 kg and carbon stock was 183.39 kg). This was followed by the branches, bark and leaves in descending order. The aboveground biomass in the single tree components of leaves, branches, stem and total biomass, all except the biomass of their bark varied with elevation in oriental beech stands, which are economically significant species in 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.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Effects 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.

Ashyralyyev, Charyyar; Akkan, Pinar
We study a source identification problem for a parabolic equation with multipoint nonlocal boundary condition. Stability estimates for the solution of abstract source identification problem are established. In application, stability estimates for the solution of the overdetermined mixed boundary value problem for multidimensional parabolic equation are obtained. The first and second order of accuracy difference schemes for the approximate solution of this problem are constructed. Stability estimates for solutions of these difference schemes are proved. Numerical illustration for a simple test problem is presented.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Series 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.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Single production of composite electrons at future sppc-based lepton–hadron colliders
Caliskan, A.
We consider the production of excited electrons with spin-1/2 at future SPPC-based electron–proton colliders with center-of-mass energies of 8.4, 11.6, 26.6, and 36.8 TeV. These exotic particles are predicted in the composite models. We calculate the production cross sections and concentrate on the photon decay channel of the excited electrons with the process of ep → e*X → eγX. The pseudo rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the electrons and photons in the final state have been plotted to determine the kinematical cutoffs best suited for discovery of the excited electrons. By applying these cutoffs we compute 2σ, 3σ, and 5σ contour plots of the statistical significance of the expected signal in the parameter space (L, m*), where L denotes the integrated luminosity of the collider and m* is the mass of the composite electrons.

- MakaleYalnız künye2020A novel billing approach for fair and effective demand side management: Appliance level billing (AppLeBill)
Çakmak, Recep; Altaş, İsmail Hakkı
Demand side management (DSM) is an important part of smart electrical grid studies due to high energy efficiency it provides. Effective DSM techniques are hinged on participation level of the customers and control manner of their loads so if there is no fair and appropriate management, customers will not embrace demand side management applications. Besides, the customers might not participate to the demand response process willingly if their comforts are not considered. Therefore, the DSM systems must consider fairness and customer's comfort as well as distribution system objectives. Multifarious DSM systems have been proposed in the literature, however, the fair billing has not included as a parameter in most of these studies. This paper introduces a novel billing approach based upon appliance level billing (AppLeBill) for fair and effective demand side management. The proposed AppLeBill idea offers a billing strategy such that time-shiftable appliances (TSAs) in a residence may have a separate billing rate rather than a single billing rate for total electricity usage. The proposed AppLeBill concept includes three different schemes which are explained and simulated in order to compare each other in terms of their potential benefits.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Comparison of sandstone and mudstone with different methods for assessing toxic element contamination in the Early–Middle Jurassic sediments of Gümüşhane (NE Turkey)
Saydam Eker, Çiğdem; Arı, Uğur Volkan
To investigate the vertical changes of toxic elements in Jurassic sediments, sampling was performed in four sites. Samples were collected from sandstones and mudstones/marls and analyzed for some toxic elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Ni and V). Results exhibited that the sediment grain size played a significant role in controlling the concentrations of the toxic elements in the sediments. The mean toxic element contents of mudstones/marls were higher than those of sandstones (except Cu). The contamination level of toxic elements was detected by enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), potential ecological risk index (Eir), pollution index (Pi) and united pollution index (PIn). The low EF, Igeo, Eir, Pi and PIn for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, V in the sandstones and Cu, Zn, Ni in the mudstones/marls exhibited an absence of clear these elements pollution. The high EF, Eir, Pi and PIn for As (9.7, 73, 7 and 29, respectively, as mean values) in the sandstones and for As (49.3, 222, 22 and 75, respectively, as mean values) Pb (8.8, 24, 5 and 19, respectively, as mean values), V (8.3, 15, 7 and 39, respectively, as mean values) in the mudstones/marls indicated significant contamination. Additionally, according to the potential ecological risk (RI) values, the sandstones had low potential ecological risk for the toxic elements (RI < 150) and the mudstones/marls had moderate potential ecological risk (150 ≤ RI ≤ 300). The potential ecological risk As, Pb, V (especially As) were higher in urban areas than in agricultural activities. Therefore, the source of As, Pb, V could be gasoline combustion, burning coal and vehicle exhausts. The contents of these elements generally increased from bottom to top of the measured stratigraphic sections, which indicated transported by atmospheric conditions.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Eocene tonalite–granodiorite from the Havza (Samsun) area, northern Turkey: adakite-like melts of lithospheric mantle and crust generated in a post-collisional setting
Temizel, Irfan; Arslan, Mehmet; Yücel, Cem; Abdioğlu Yazar, Emel; Kaygusuz, Abdullah; Aslan, Zafer
Eocene intermediate to felsic plutons of different sizes and compositions are widespread in the Eastern Pontides Orogenic Belt in northern Turkey. Of these, the Taşlık Tepe pluton in the Havza (Samsun) area is fine-to-medium-grained, with granular, porphyritic, and micrographic textures, and include mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs). LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating yielded emplacement ages of 42.9 (± 1.4) and 40.5 (± 1.3) Ma for the host granodioritic pluton and the dioritic MMEs, respectively. Petrochemically, the host pluton has I-type, high-K calc-alkaline, and metaluminous-to-slightly peraluminous features (A/CNK = 0.95–1.06). The host pluton also shows geochemical features of adakite-like rocks with high SiO2 (67–68 wt%) and Al2O3 (15.5–16.0 wt%) content and Ba/La (17–23), Sr/Y (40.7–61.6), and LaN/YbN (14.4–23.7) ratios and low Y (8.2–9.9 ppm) and YbN (3.1–4.4) contents. Whole-rock major and trace element variations suggest that fractional crystallisation played a significant role in the pluton evolution. The N-MORB normalised trace element patterns of the pluton are similar to those of MMEs with enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements, Th and Ce, and negative Nb and Ti anomalies. Chondrite-normalised rare earth element plots show moderate-to-highly enriched concave patterns (LaN/LuN = 14.2–21.6) with insignificant negative Eu anomalies (EuN/Eu* = 0.86–1.14), all of which imply hornblende fractionation during magmatic evolution. The pluton samples have 87Sr/86Sr ratios of 0.704767 to 0.704927, 143Nd/144Nd ratios of 0.512767–0.512774, εNd values of (+2.52)–(+2.65), and δ18O values of 7.9–9.7‰. The isotopic compositions of the host pluton and MMEs are similar to I-type granitoids derived from mantle sources. The MMEs show incomplete magma mixing/mingling, representing small bodies of mafic parental magma. Combined with regional studies, these new data suggest that the parental magma of the studied adakite-like pluton was generated from the lithospheric mantle and then modified by fractional crystallisation and assimilation in a post-collisional setting.

Aykas, Didem Peren; Ball, Christopher; Menevseoglu, Ahmed; Rodriguez-Saona, Luis E.
This research demonstrates simultaneous predictions of individual and total sugars in breakfast cereals using a novel, handheld near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic sensor. This miniaturized, battery-operated unit based on Fourier Transform (FT)-NIR was used to collect spectra from both ground and intact breakfast cereal samples, followed by real-time wireless data transfer to a commercial tablet for chemometric processing. A total of 164 breakfast cereal samples (60 store-bought and 104 provided by a snack food company) were tested. Reference analysis for the individual (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) and total sugar contents used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Chemometric prediction models were generated using partial least square regression (PLSR) by combining the HPLC reference analysis data and FT-NIR spectra, and associated calibration models were externally validated through an independent data set. These multivariate models showed excellent correlation (Rpre ≥ 0.93) and low standard error of prediction (SEP ≤ 2.4 g/100 g) between the predicted and the measured sugar values. Analysis results from the FT-NIR data, confirmed by the reference techniques, showed that eight store-bought cereal samples out of 60 (13%) were not compliant with the total sugar content declaration. The results suggest that the FT-NIR prototype can provide reliable analysis for the snack food manufacturers for on-site analysis.

Gundogdu, Engin; Cakmakci, Songul; Hayaloglu, Ali Adnan
In this study volatile compounds and sensory properties of butter produced from cream or yogurt using Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis or Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris as well as a mixture of these two bacteria were investigated over 60 days. A total of 10 esters, 6 aldehydes, 11 ketones, 16 alcohols, 6 acids, 2 sulphides, 3 terpenes, and 3 miscellaneous compounds were detected. There were more volatile compounds in cream butter than in yogurt butter. While S-methyl thioacetate was only found in yogurt butter samples, hexanal, ethanol, 2-nonanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, acetic, butanoic (butyric) and hexanoic acid were the most abundant volatiles in both cream and yogurt butter. The results showed that the use of starter in the manufacturing of yogurt butter, which is traditionally produced without starters, affected the volatile compounds and sensory properties. The highest general acceptability scores were given to the butter samples containing mixed cultures at the end of storage.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Investigation of the relationship between rare earth elements, trace elements, and major oxides in soil geochemistry
Vural, Alaaddin
Investigation on the behavior of elements in the soil is important both in exploration and environmental geochemistry studies. Rare earth elements (REEs) are the most useful among all trace elements. REE studies have shown that they have important applications in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic petrology. This work aims to investigate the relationship of these elements with one another and the behavior of the major oxides and trace elements with REEs. Soil samples were obtained from the alteration site possibly related to mineralization and were analyzed for major oxides, trace elements, and REEs. The relationships between the major oxide–trace element/heavy metal and REE were investigated by statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, and principle component analysis. According to the correlation coefficient matrix, light REEs (LREEs) showed weak to moderate negative correlation with MgO and MnO and moderately positive correlation with SiO2 and K2O. No association was detected between the heavy REEs (HREEs) and the main oxides, but a strong positive correlation with LREEs was observed. For the trace elements, LREE showed a weak positive correlation with Ba and Sn and moderate to strong positive correlation with As, Hf, Nb, Rb, Ta, Th, U, W, and Zr. They also displayed weak to moderate correlation with Sc, Co, Zn, Ni, and V. HREE showed weak to moderate positive correlation with Ni, Cs, Ga, Hf, Th, Zr, As, and LREE. Although REEs exhibited no direct correlation with Au and Ag, they showed a good correlation with some trace elements that are related to hydrothermally altered products. This study showed that REEs can also be used in exploration and environmental geochemistry studies by exploiting the relationship between REEs and other trace/heavy metal elements.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Geochemistry of the Middle Jurassic sediments in Gümüşhane, north-eastern Turkey: Implications for weathering and provenance
Saydam Eker, Çiğdem; Arı, Uğur V.
The whole-rock geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotope data of Middle Jurassic sedimentary rocks in the Gümüşhane area (north-eastern Turkey) were analysed to reconstruct the provenance, chemical weathering, sediment recycling history, and tectonic setting of the source area. Based on trace element ratios and rare earth element (REE) patterns, it was interpreted that the sandstones were derived from a source area with felsic-mafic rocks as dominant contributors. The average chemical index of alteration (CIA) and weathering index (WIP) values are low with respect to Upper Continental Crust (UCC) in the studied sandstones and mudstones, but the index of compositional variability (ICV) values are high, thus revealing weak–moderate weathering conditions. The average Th/U ratios of the sandstones and mudstones indicate a relatively simple cycling history. The positive and low negative εNd values support the supposition that the source area did not undergo much sedimentary change. A model mixture composed of 60% granite, 5% granodiorite, and 35% gabbro could be deduced to be the potential source composition of Middle Jurassic sediments; this model was reinforced by the 87Sr/86Sr ratios and εNd(t) values of the sediments. The Middle Jurassic siliciclastic sedimentary rocks of the Gümüşhane region were likely deposited in a tectonic environment with a passive margin.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Political Polarization and Size of Government; [Politik Kutuplaşma ve Devletin Ekonomik Boyutu]
Keyifli, Nazlı; Akdede, Sacit Hadi
In this study, it empirically examines the impact of economic and political determinants on the economic size of the government. Political polarization is taken as the variable of interest, along with other control variables. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Ordinary Least Squares and Second Stage Least Squares methods. The scope of the paper includes 61 countries, and the time interval is between 1990 and 2015. The results of the regression analysis show that the share of public consumption spending in national income in countries where political polarization is high is declining. In addition, the increase in levels of ethnic fracturalization, democracy and government fractionalization has an increasing effect on the share of public consumption spending in national income. The study provides descriptive linkages among findings.
