... Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is widely used to measure deformation of the Earth's surface over large areas and long time periods. A common strategy to overcome coherence loss in long-term interferograms is to use multiple multilooked shorter interferograms, which can cover the same time period but maintain coherence. However, it has recently been shown that using this strategy ...
... Badlands are extremely rugged, outstanding landscapes that can be seen in all ice-free climate regions over erosion-susceptible unconsolidated materials, and they have drawn attention with their spectacular and iconic forms. Unlike nearly all badlands researches conducted at the experimental site and watershed scale, so far, the broader-scale evaluation has been neglected in the analysis of badlan ...
... One of the frequently adopted hybridizations within the scope of rainfall-runoff modeling rests on directing various outputs simulated from the conceptual rainfall-runoff (CRR) models to machine learning (ML) techniques. In those coupled model exercises, after the parameter calibrations of the CRR models are made, their specific outputs constitute auxiliary inputs for the ML model training. Howeve ...

In this study, gross final energy consumption (GFEC), energy consumption of renewable energy sources (RES) and its share in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom (UK) are forecasted by 2030. A novel model is proposed in this study which is called optimized fractional nonlinear grey Bernoulli model, briefly as OFANGBM(1,1). In this model, three parameters, which are backgroun ...
... Matrilineal genetic diversity and relationship were investigated among eight morphologically identified native Ethiopian horse populations using polymorphisms in 46 mtDNA D-loop sequences (454 base pairs). The horse populations identified were Abyssinian, Bale, Borana, Horro, Kafa, Kundido feral horses, Ogaden and Selale. Mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences were characterized by 15 variable sites t ...

Abstract:
... Solar radiation (SR) knowledge plays a vital role in the design, modelling, and operation of solar energy conversion systems and future energy investment policies of the governments. However, these data are not measured for all regions due to the non-availability of SR measurement equipment at the weather stations. Therefore, SR has to be accurately predicted using various prediction models. In th ...
... In this paper, a two step multi-objective optimization framework of renewable energy planning is proposed for Turkey. In the first step, optimization process is performed and in the second step a multi-criteria decision making based selection strategy is applied to select a solution from non-dominated solution set. The objectives are selected as minimization of levelized cost of electricity plan a ...
... Research on investigation and determination of geographic origins of olive oils is increased by consumers’ demand to authenticated olive oils. Classification algorithms which are machine learning methods can be employed for the authentication of olive oils. In this study, different classification algorithms were evaluated to reveal the most accurate one for authentication of Turkish olive oils. Ba ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: In this study, artificial intelligence models that identify sunn pest‐damaged wheat grains (SDG) and healthy wheat grains (HWG) are presented. Svevo durum wheat cultivated in Konya province, Turkey is used for the process, with 150 HWG and 150 SDG being used for classification. Thanks to the constructed imaging setup, photos of the 300 wheat grains are obtained. Seventeen visual featur ...

Abstract:
... The continuous increase in the energy demand and the reduction on fossil fuels reservoirs has shifted interest towards more “green” alternatives for decentralized power production. This study focuses on the design optimization and performance assessment of a small-scale, low-temperature solar driven ORC for application in South-East Mediterranean region under multiple scenarios including different ...
... Potato is one of the most important food crops all over the world. Breeding activities for this crop are mainly aimed to improve the quality and yield of tuber. However, genetic architecture of various traits contributing to the quality and yield of potato are not yet completely understood. Genome wide association studies provides a broader way to identify the genomic regions associated with vario ...

Abstract:
... This paper investigates landslide detection over flat and steep-slope areas with large forest cover using different radial basis function interpolation methods, which can affect the quality of a digital elevation model. Unmanned aerial vehicles have been widely used in landslide detection studies. The generation of image-based point clouds is achievable with various matching algorithms from comput ...
... Research highlights: Formica rufa is used widely for biocontrol in Turkish forests. Although ecological characteristics of red wood ant habitats are well known, the statistical significance of these characteristics and their effects on nest transplantation success are largely unknown. Having such knowledge on a local scale, however, can help to predict the success of a scheduled transplantation ef ...
... We present a novel technique that compares and quantifies images used here to compare similarities between material cultures. This method is based on locality sensitive hashing (LSH), which uses a relatively fast and flexible algorithm to compare image data and determine their level of similarity. This technique is applied to a dataset of sculpture faces from the Aegean, Anatolia, Cyprus, Egypt, I ...

Abstract:
... The design of a natural gas pipeline route is a very important stage in Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline projects. It is a very complicated process requiring many different criteria for various areas to be evaluated simultaneously. These criteria include geographical, social, economic, and environmental aspects with their obstacles. In the classical approach, the optimum route design is usually d ...
