Today tourism has made significant progress that an important source of income for countries and the development of international trade.with the increasing tendency of travel in line with the rising standard of living individuals. Tourist product perceptions a…

As widely known, construction on soft soils is generally problematic since the engineering properties of soft soils generally cannot meet the conditions required. Settlement, bearing capacity and seismic performance of the overlying structures is always questi…

Sivrihisar has managed to preserve the unique characteristics of its traditional urban texture and buildings until today. This study is aimed at the traditional buildings of Sivrihisar and the formation of its urban texture; and attempts to portray the urban t…

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…

Ceramic materials are characterized by outstanding hardness, extreme compressive strength and elastic modulus, wear resistance, thermal shock resistance, chemical stability and high temperature properties. Therefore they have potential materials to be use at i…

Structural health monitoring is an interdisciplinary field that enables early detection of undesirable situations such as damage or defects that occur in the structure or its components thanks to its ability to self-diagnosis. It is possible to use safer engin…

Green tea, is a product obtained from less or non-fermented leaves of Camellia sinensis than black or oolong tea. It has been reported that green tea has more health benefits compared to black and oolong teas which are more fermented. The main components that …

In last years, the use of alternative energy sources such as solar energy has become even more important because of environmental problems, especially the rapid depletion of fossil energy resources. There are works done for this purpose and solar energy applic…

Urban areas have less vegetation than natural environment that surround it. Differences between these types of areas affect climate, energy use, and habitat in cities. In urban areas, dark surfaces and reduced vegetation warm affect the air over urban areas, l…

Yenilikçi soğutma teknolojileri arasında yer alan ısı boruları, sahip olduğu özgün karakteristikler sebebiyle son yıllarda önemli bir araştırma alanı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Isı boruları, taşınımla ısı geçişi ve sıvı-buhar faz değişimi ilkelerinden faydalan…

Depending on the growing industry and population, energy needs are increasing day by day. In parallel, our external dependency on energy also increases. This issue made it necessary to use of renewable energy sources as much as possible. As an extension of eff…

This study was carried out in the pure oriental beech forests of Yenice-Kızılkay in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey, where the changes in the number of side roots and the changes in the height and diameter of the beech trees were examined in three diffe…

Taguchi’s robust parameter design focuses on reducing the system variability caused by the noise factors. The results obtained under unrealistic assumptions about the noises may mislead the practitioners when it comes to improving quality in robust design. For…

The aim of this study is to determine instantaneous irradiance and annual percentile sunlit time on the available rooftop floor area of Technical and Social Science Vocational School at Usak University by simulation using open source software. The building of …

Exhaust gas distribution in street canyons is one of the important research subjects in urban air quality studies. Vehicle emissions are an important group of pollutants in urban areas. In this study, the dispersion of exhaust emissions from vehicles in canyon…

Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems consume about 15% of global electricity, and 46% of energy used in household and commercial buildings belongs to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Vapor-compression technologies dominate the HV…
