A quality assessment of public water fountains and relation to human health: a case study from Yozgat, Turkey
(Wiley, 2019-11)Public fountains are very common and everyday people appreciate the benefits a water fountain can bring. However, consumption of public fountain water in some country has decreased because of growing concerns that constituents ... -
Quality of groundwater resources in Afghanistan
(Springer, 2017-07)Water is the main source of energy production and economy in Afghanistan where agriculture accounts for more than 50% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Access to safe drinking water is still a problem in the ... -
Quantitative detection of low energy impact damage in a sandwich composite wing
(SAGE Publications, 2010-02)This work describes damage detection in a foam core composite wing (1320 mm × 152.4 mm × 13.4 mm) following a series of low energy impacts. Thirteen impacts (6-8 J deposited energy) were applied at adjacent locations ... -
Rainfall-runoff model considering microtopography simulated in a laboratory erosion flume
(Springer, 2016-12-01)A comprehensive process-based rainfall-runoff model for simulating overland flow generated in rills and on interrill areas of a hillslope is evaluated using a laboratory experimental data set. For laboratory experiments, ... -
The relation of geogenic and antrophogenic factors with blood and hair lead and arsenic levels in women living in Çan and Bayramiç districts of Çanakkale province
(Nobel, 2019)Objective: Mining areas and associated industrial activities carry considerable risks for human health due to multi-pathway exposure of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead. The objective of this study was to compare ... -
Removal of metals and metalloids from acidic mining lake (AML) using olive oil solid waste (OSW)
(Springer, 2019-08)The acidic mining lakes have low pH values and high metal and metalloid concentrations. In this study, the ability of low-cost olive oil solid waste (OSW) to remove Al, As, Cd, Fe, B and Ti ions from aqueous solutions in ... -
Reply to comment on “Evaluation of a physically based quasi-linear and a conceptually based nonlinear Muskingum methods” by Reza Barati
(Elsevier, 2017-07)The writers thank the discusser for his interest in the study of Perumal et al. (2017) and welcome the opportunity to address the issues raised by the discusser. The discusser has mainly raised four issues on the ... -
Resistive force theory-based analysis of magnetically driven slender flexible micro-swimmers
(Springer, 2017-09)Resistive force theory is concise and reliable approach to resolve flow-induced viscous forces on submerged bodies at low Reynolds number flows. In this paper, the theory is adapted for very thin shell-type structures, and ... -
Reverse flood routing in natural channels using genetic algorithm
(Springer, 2015-09-13)Establishing a clear overview of data discharge availability for water balance modelling in basins is a priority in Europe, and in the particular in the framework of the system of Economic and Environmental Accounts for ... -
Sample collection into sterile vacuum tubes to preserve arsenic speciation in natural water samples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013-08)The accurate speciation analysis of arsenic is a serious concern for water quality monitoring programs. Because the preservation of sample integrity until analysis is one of the most important aspects of speciation, this ... -
Scissor linkages in the design of adaptive morphologies
(De Gruyter, 2019)Scissor linkages are capable of forming various expandable structures. Architects can benefit from this type of linkage especially for designing adaptive, movable, transformable shell structures and deployable beam-like ... -
Seismic performance of wide-beam infill-joist block RC frames in Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015-02)Observations after the 2011 Van-Erciş earthquake show that some of the recently constructed reinforced-concrete buildings were either heavily damaged or had collapsed. As a building subtype, wide-beam, infill-joist block ... -
Self-healing capability of cementitious composites incorporating different supplementary cementitious materials
(Elsevier, 2013-01)The presence of deleterious substances and their transport are among the most important factors controlling the durability of cementitious composites. The present paper studies the relationship among the applied mechanical ... -
Significance of rent attributes in prediction of earthquake damage in Adapazari, Turkey
(Institute of Computer Science, 2014-12)This paper analyses rent-based determinants of earthquake damage from an urban planning perspective with the data gathered from Adapazari, Turkey, after the disaster in 1999 Eastern Marmara Earthquake (EME). The study ... -
Significant geogenic and anthropogenic factors concerning contamination of groundwater resources in Afghanistan
(Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesi, 2017)In recent years, the groundwater quality in Afghanistan has raised some concerns as far as very few studies exist about its quality. The main reason behind the little knowledge about groundwater quality is that the country ... -
Simulating transient sediment waves in aggraded alluvial channels by double-decomposition method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-04)By using the double-decomposition (DD) method, this study simulates transient sediment waves caused by aggradation described by a diffusion-type partial differential equation (PDE). The DD method solves the PDE by decomposing ... -
Simulation of groundwater flow in the Gediz River Basin
(European Water Resources Association, 2015)The objective of this paper is to present the approach and results of a groundwater flow modeling study that was conducted for the Gediz River Basin (GRB), located in western Turkey. The GRB is one of the most important, ... -
Simulation of seismic liquefaction: 1-g model testing system and shaking table tests
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-11)In this paper, we focus on the development and performance of the 1-g model testing system to monitor the liquefaction occurrence of saturated soils, under subsequent one-dimensional shake table tests. The system is composed ... -
Spatial interaction modeling of interregional commodity flows
(Elsevier, 2007-06)Drawing from both the spatial price equilibrium theoretical framework and the empirical literature on spatial interaction modeling, this paper expands models of interregional commodity flows (CFs) by incorporating new ... -
Specimen size effect on the residual properties of engineered cementitious composites subjected to high temperatures
(Elsevier Limited, 2014)In this study, size effect on the residual properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) was investigated on the specimens exposed to high temperatures up to 800 C. Cylindrical specimens having different sizes ...
