In the phases of hydrological model calibration, the impact of control parameters of optimization algorithms on the related fitness (cost) function (reaching the global solution correctly and expeditiously) is rather essential. These control parameters’ dynami…

Differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is one featured kind of population based evolutionary algorithms. Although it is stated in previous studies that the algorithm is more sensitive to the crossover rate, it is tried out in this study whether DEA depends on …

In the analysis of the flood routing problem, it is necessary to determine the change of the flood wave moving through the channel according to time and location, and in this context, nonlinear 3-parameter Muskingum model (NL-MUSK) is widely used. The parame…

Neural Network has been used in a number of scientific fields including medical diagnosis. It is clear that classification is one of the main challenges in any medical diagnosis. However, the drawbacks of conventional neural network classifier are summarized a…

This study was carried out to determine the difficulties and cultural sensitivity of nurses working in Rize State Hospital while providing care to immigrants. Material and Method: This study was conducted between April and May 2019 with 194 nurses working at R…

Hydrological drought is one of the most essential natural hazards attributing water scarcity and its global impact increases due to the climate change. In particular, the usage of climate models and rainfall-runoff models for projecting the severity of future …

In recent years, with the change of precipitation regimes, the value of water has become important for water sources, especially surface flow and streams fed by the source. Considering this importance, quantitative values; Considering that Turkey's water probl…

Trend analysis of precipitation play a significant role in the efficient water resources management, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, 48 years-long (1970-2017) annual precipitation data monitored at nine selected stations (Mardin, Adı…

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…

Network security is becoming more and more important as a result of the growing use of the internet and technological developments. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are utilized to detect attacks, preferably by monitoring real-time events. Therefore, they hol…

The design of experiments is a highly effective offline quality improvement method to optimize the existing and new processes or products. In the literature, standard experimental situations have been paid a lot of attention. In a number of non-standard experi…

Recently, the basis properties and eigenfunction expansions in various function spaces of the eigenfunction of the regular boundary value problems with spectral parameter in the boundary conditions have been investigated by many mathematicans. However in diff…

Quality control in the industry is becoming increasingly important as a result of increasing market competition and the need for quality products. The increasing complexity of industrial processes and the increase in the amount of data available have promoted …

Complexity in the behavior of asphalt binders are further escalated with geopolymer (fly ash and the alkali liquid) modification thus, making it difficult to predict the performance of the binder accurately. This study employs artificial neural network model…

A central composite design is a good choice for a spherical design region while providing high-quality predictions over the entire spherical design region. However, this design requires design variable settings outside the range of the design variables in the …
