In this study, physical and mechanical properties of wheat and barley stems are examined. Transverse sections of the stems are magnified by a microscope and the material structure in the transverse sections are analysed with image processing programs...
In this study, diffusion mechanism of the boronizing process of AISI 1040 has been investigated. A nonlinear diffusion equation, which was proposed earlier, has been employed and compared with the experimental data. An interesting property of the dif...
This paper presents a new formula for determining spot price and a new algorithm for economic dispatch in deregulated power systems. According to participant’s biddings, an independent system operator (ISO) manages deregulated power systems (DPS) and...
Assessment of the tibial rotations by the conventional approaches is generally difficult. An investigation has been made in this study to assess the tibial motions based on the prediction of the effects of physical factors as well as a portion of tib...
In this paper, a new approximate method for solving higher-order linear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients under the mixed conditions is presented. The method is based on the rational Chebyshev (RC) Tau, Chebyshev and Taylor c...
In this study, free vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes is investigated based on Timoshenko beam theory. Discrete singular convolution (DSC) method is used for free vibration problem of numerical solution of carbon nanotubes. Numerical results are...
The analysis of moment-curvature relationship of reinforced concrete sections is complex due to large number of variables as well as non-linear material behavior involved. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are found to be a tool capable of solving su...
In this work, the ground state, quasi beta and quasi gamma band energies of 114,116,118,120Xe isotopes have been investigated by using the both (IBM-1 and IBM-2) versions of interacting boson model (IBM). In calculations, the theoretical energy level...
In this paper, an efficient decomposition method is constructed and used for solving system of nonlinear equations. The method based on the decomposition technique of Noor [M.A.Noor, K.I.Noor, Some iterative schemes for nonlinear equations, Appl. Mat...
This paper focuses on effect of material properties on free vibration characteristics of nonsymmetrical axially loaded thin-walled Euler-Bernoulli beams. Many scientists studied the vibration of coupled systems but adequate consideration has not been...
The economical development of Turkey depends on agriculture so yield in agricultural production has to be increased for improving Turkey’s economy. Irrigation is also very important factor to increase yield per unit area. Different kinds of pumps suc...
In this study, two boundary functionals N\(_{1}\) and \(\tau_{1}\) of the renewal reward process with a discrete interference of chance (X(t)) are investigated. A relation between the moment generating function (\(\Psi\)N(z)) of the boundary function...
We apply the Discrete Fourier Transform to the construction of B-Spline curves to gain more insight into their structure. As a B-Spline curve is determined by its control polygon, this analysis is intimately linked to the Fourier analysis of the cont...
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to predict the effects of splitter blades in a semi-open impeller on centrifugal pump performance. The characteristics of this impeller were compared with those of impellers without splitter blades. Experiment...
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique which is based on mathematical programming for evaluating the efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs). Throughout applications, managers encounter with stochastic data and the...
