Use of superplasticing chemical admixtures in concrete production is widespread all over the world and has become almost inevitable. Super-plasticizers (SPA), extend the setting time of concrete by adsorbing onto cement particles and provide concrete to preser…

Since the design of the first high rise building, the “Home Insurance Building” erected in Chicago in 1884-1885 only with 11 floors, new technologies encourage the designers to build taller and slender buildings penetrating through the sky. In the history, h…

Superhydrophobic surfaces and materials received great attention of scientists and engineers due to their unwetting, self cleaning and antimicrobial properties. Hydrophobic surfaces are defined as having sessile water drop contact angle greater than 90°, while…

Timber structures are used as building elements in ancient times due to the lightness and durability. Formwork material of reinforced concrete structures are also made of wood. Although timber is widely used in industry, it has been limited research in liter…

In this study, diabetes prediction was conducted using XGBoost, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and a Multilayer Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Attributes that cannot be biologically ‘0’ (e.g. glucose, BMI) were first marked as NaN. After filling the missing …

Understanding pedestrian perception is essential for designing walkable and inclusive urban environments. This study employs real-world eye-tracking to investigate how pedestrians visually engage with urban streetscapes during everyday navigation. Using wearab…

This paper presents the theoretical aspect of the creep behavior in materials, particularly in metallic materials. Different creep mechanisms were displayed. The main models developed to determine or extrapolate the rupture time of materials were presented. So…

In this study, mathematical modeling of an ohmic heating system has been done, firstly. Then, two different control approaches, PID and fuzzy logic control, have been considered to control of mathematically modeled ohmic heating system. An optimal PID controll…

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the study of various mathematical problems with variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. There are also a lot of published papers in these spaces. Spaces of weakly differentiable functions, so called Sobolev s…

Heritage buildings are valuable cultural and historical assets that create tangible connection to our past and provide many social and economic benefits. These buildings are often threatened by various environmental and human factors, which impose the need for…

This study aims to investigate the effect of pitching motion of a NACA 0012 airfoil on the lift and drag coefficients at different reduced frequencies for a flow over the airfoil at Reynolds number of 5x105. A two-dimensional computational analysis was perform…

This study evaluates the performance of Faster R-CNN and YOLOv7 object detectors for dynamic ship detection in maritime applications. Both algorithms are tested under challenging conditions, including poor image quality due to cloud and dust obscuration, varyi…

Yabancı istilacı böcek türleri son yıllarda ülkemizde tarım ve ormanlık alanlarda oluşturdukları zararlarla gündem oluşturmaktadır. Asya ve Avrupa arasında köprü konumunda olan ülkemiz, ülkeler arasında artan ulaştırma, ticaret, seyahat ve turizm ile birlikte …

Bağcılık, Tokat ilinde bitkisel üretim bakımından önemli bir yerdedir. Fakat üzüm üretimi sırasında karşılaşılan sorunlardan biri olan yabancı otlar büyük problem oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile; Tokat ili bağlarında sorun oluşturan yabancı ot türlerinin yay…

The aim of this study is to forecast installed wind power which is a one of the renewable energy resources in Turkey for the year of 2017 based on artificial neural network method using the normalized last ten-year data. An artificial neural network has been c…

Maritime vessel detection in satellite images address real time issues such as maritime security, illegal fishing and environmental monitoring, which require efficient tracking of vessels in large scale. Maritime vessel detection is challenged by limited annot…

This study presents a comparative evaluation of five widely adopted blockchain consensus algorithms—Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT), and Proof of Authority (PoA)—based on en…

This study investigates the heightened vulnerability of children residing in disaster-prone informal settlements in the southwestern coastal city of Khulna, Bangladesh. The study focuses on both social and physical factors contributing to children's vulnerabil…

Many well-known material structures, such as metals, ceramics or polymers, cannot meet all the technological demands. For this reason, there is ongoing research into new materials with advanced features. A composite material is consisting of at least two phase…

Humans’ need for nature is linked not just to the material exploitation of the environment but also to the influence of the natural world on our emotional, cognitive, aesthetic, and spiritual development. It has been shown that green areas have a positive impa…
