Book Part Citation - Scopus: 5Achieving Shojinka by Integrated Balancing of Multiple Straight Lines With Resource Dependent Task Times(Springer New York LLC, 2019) Atasagun, Y.; Kara, Y.; Can Atasagun, GözdeThe concept of Shojinka, which is an important element of Just in Time production system, is attaining flexibility on the number of workers in a workshop due to demand variations. Even though Just in Time production system adopts U-shaped line layout, traditional straight lines can be combined and balanced in an integrated manner to obtain the advantages of Shojinka. In this case, the problem, which is called Integrated Balancing of Multiple Straight Lines, arises. On the other hand, the basic assumption of assembly line balancing is that every task’s time is fixed. However, in practice, different resource alternatives such as equipment or assistant worker may be available to process a task with different times. The problem in this case is to assign tasks and resources to stations that minimise total cost. In this study, a binary integer mathematical model is presented for integrated balancing of multiple straight lines, assuming that task times are resource dependent. The proposed model is illustrated and validated using several examples. An experimental analysis is also conducted to emphasize the advantages of the integrated balancing concept, compared to the situation in which the lines are balanced independent from each other. The experimental results show that, when multiple straight assembly lines are balanced in an integrated manner with resource dependent task times, an average total cost improvement of 23.105% can be obtained compared to the independent balances of the lines. This is a significant improvement that emphasizes the importance of balancing multiple straight lines in an integrated manner, to take the advantages of shojinka and to adhere to the main philosophy of Just in Time. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.Article Air Quality of Karaman City, Turkey(Hysen MANKOLLI, 2020) Mankolli, H.; Toros, H.; Dursun, S.Karaman is a new and developing city in Turkey's economy is developing and the industry.

The major accident categories for underground coal mining in Turkey are gas related accidents (firedamp and outbursts), roof falls, flooding, fire and transport. In recent years, coal mine gas related accidents in Turkey, which are usually caused by firedamp and outbursts, are still threatening miners’ lives. Firedamp explosions are majorly serious mine accidents that can occur quickly and cause great deal damage. In this study, work-related accidents caused by firedamp and another gas accidents in Turkey between the years 2010-2016 were analyzed. As a result of these analyses, the number of deaths in underground coal mines in the past 7 years is 550 and the fatality rate is found to be 96.86%. The percentage of gases as the cause of the deaths is 70.18%. In this study, countermeasures are proposed that can prevent and control firedamp explosions and other gas related accidents.Article Application of an Artificial Neural Network for Predicting Compressive and Flexural Strength of Basalt Fiber Added Lightweight(Tulpar Academic Publishing, 2021) Calis, G.; Yıldızel, S.A.; Keskin, U. S.Concrete is known as one of the fundamental materials in construction with its high amount of use. Lightweight concrete (LWC) can be a good alternative in reducing the environmental effect of concrete by decreasing the self-weight and dimensions of the structure. In order to reduce self-weight of concrete artificial aggregates, some of which are produced from waste materials, are utilized, and it also contributes to de-velop a sustainable material Artificial neural networks have been the focus of many scholars for long time with the purpose of analyzing and predicting the lightweight concrete compressive and flexural strengths. The artificial neural network is more powerful method in terms of providing explanation and prediction in engineering studies. It is proved that the error rate of ANN is smaller than regression method. Furthermore, ANN has superior performance over nonlinear regression model. In this paper, an ANN based system is proposed in order to provide a better understand-ing of basalt fiber reinforced lightweight concrete. In the regression analysis pre-dicted vs. experimental flexural strength, R-sqr is determined to be 86%. The most important strength contributing factors were analyzed within the scope of this study. © 2021, Tulpar Academic Publishing.

Especially, developed countries have been able to place this discipline in working life, while developing countries have still problems. These problems take place both in terms of legislation and practice. The situation is similar to that of developing countries, in Turkey. The construction sector is in line with the development status of a country. The construction sector contributes both directly and indirectly to the country's economy. It has become indispensable for the economy of a country with its share in employment and it stimulates production of goods and services related to the sector. The construction sector is not just about building constructions. We also need bridges, metros and high-speed train lines. Transports have a major contributor to the development of a country. In parallel with technological developments, large investments related with transports become increase. Due to the revival in this sub-sector, the number of work accidents has also tended to increase. Therefore, the work accidents in the highway, street and bridge constructions, which are the sub-activities of the construction sector, must be examined. In this study, work accidents in the sector were analyzed for Turkey and U.S. Also, the share of the sector in total work accidents and construction accidents were determined for Turkey and U.S. The causes of fatal work accidents in highway, street and bridge constructions were mentioned. © 2018, International Multidisciplinary Scientific Geoconference.

This, in many occasions, may lead to repetitive repair and maintenance or even re-construction of certain structural/non-structural sections and structures. Thus, it is highly desirable to reduce the chance and/or further development of cracking. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) are feasible materials to suppress cracking formation and progression through their strain-hardening response under uniaxial tensile loading conditions. Even at the stage of failure, these materials exhibit micron-size cracks which significantly improve the capability to resist against detrimental durability issues. Moreover, these microcracks are constantly reported to be closed through autogenous healing mechanisms with no external interference from outside which significantly improve the mechanical and durability performance and service life of these materials and structures incorporating them. However, the performance of autogenous self-healing in ECC is called into question, especially for late-age specimens since reactions which produce products to plug the micro-size cracks stabilize as the specimens get more and more mature. To clarify this subject, in this study, 1-year-old specimens produced from ECC mixtures incorporated with different mineral admixtures (i.e. Class-F fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag) were tested for their self-healing performance. For self-healing evaluation, specimens which were severely preloaded for creating microcracks, were subjected to four different curing conditions which included "Water", "Air", "CO2-water" and "CO2-air" for 90 additional days beyond initial 1 year. Tests used for self-healing assessments were electrical impedance (EI) and rapid chloride permeability (RCP). Results indicate that water is a must-have component for enhanced autogenous self-healing efficiency. "CO2-Water" curing results in the most effective self-healing performance regardless of the composition of ECC mixtures. By properly adjusting mixture proportions and curing conditions, microcracks as large as nearly half a millimeter (458 mu m) can be healed in only 30 days of further curing. Overall, results clearly suggest that late-age autogenous self-healing capability of ECC can be made as effective as the early-age with proper further environmental conditioning and mixture design.Article Betonarme Dairesel Kolonların Kesme Dayanımı ile Deformasyon Kapasite Modellerinin Araştırılması(2022) Yüksel, Süleyman Bahadır; Foroughi, SaeidGöçme öncesi sismik performans seviyesinde, kesmeye maruz betonarme kolonların yatay yük ve eksenel yük taşıma kapasitelerindeki azalmayı ve bu davranışların tüm yapıya etkilerini modellemeye ve tahmin etmeye ihtiyaç vardır.

Problem, iki bölgeli bir boruda, hidrodinamik olarak gelişmiş laminer akış için, eksenel akışkan iletimi dikkate alınarak ele alınmış ve sonlu farklar yöntemi ile sayısal olarak çözülmüştür. Peclet sayısı ve açısal frekansın ısı transferi karakteristikleri üzerindeki etkilerini belirleyebilmek için parametrik bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlardan akışkan eksenel iletimi nedeniyle borunun üst akış bölgesine, akışa ters yönde önemli ölçüde ısı transfer edildiği ve bunun akışkanın borunun ısıtılan alt akış bölgesine gelmeden önce ön ısıtılmasına neden olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca alt akış bölgesi dış yüzey sıcaklığındaki periyodik değişime uygun olarak, tüm ısı transferi karakteristiklerinin de, ön ısıtma ve tam gelişmiş bölge de dahil olmak üzere, tüm eksenel konumlarda zamanla periyodik olarak değiştiği görülmüştür.Article Breast Cancer Diagnosis by Different Machine Learning Methods Using Blood Analysis Data(2018) Aslan, Muhammet Fatih; Çelik, Yunus; Sabancı, Kadir; Durdu, AkifToday, one of the most common types of cancer is breast cancer. It is crucial to prevent the propagation of malign cells to reduce the rate of cancer induced mortality. Cancer detection must be done as early as possible for this purpose. Machine Learning techniques are used to diagnose or predict the success of treatment in medicine.

For example, when disasters such as earthquakes are not prevented, efforts must be made to minimize the economic and environmental costs that may arise. Although the interest of society and governments in the economic consequences of the earthquake is more intense, environmental effects should also be calculated, and the significance of the situation should be shown. Herein, it estimated the CO2 emissions caused by debris transport from the 1999 Marmara earthquake in Turkey in Yalova, a province of Turkey, and the reconstruction of the destroyed structures. As a result of the calculations, it has been found that 2031 x 103 tons of CO2 were released during the transport of debris and reconstruction of 9462 building that was destroyed before the end of their life in Yalova. Moreover, 42% of these emissions are caused by concrete alone. In addition, this value corresponds to 0.73% of the CO2 emitted in Turkey in 1999Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Cfd Modelling of Industrial Air Curtains With Heating Unit(E D P SCIENCES, 2019) Aksoy, Muharrem Hilmi; Yağmur, Sercan; Doğan, SercanIndustrial air curtains are used to prevent air from moving from one space to another space or to environment. The most common used type is downward-facing blower fan mounted over the entrance of a building, or an opening door between two spaces conditioned at different temperatures. In many factories and industrial buildings, heating or cooling applications are difficult due to the huge doors. These huge doors cause heat loses with convection phenomena of the inside air. In this study an air curtain having heater unit is analyzed numerically by CFD. The height of the air curtain from the bottom side is vary between 2.5 m, 3 m, 4m, 5m and 6 m mounted over the entrance door of the conditioned volume. For CFD studies proper mesh structure is created on the flow domain and Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-omega models were used in Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) computations. The blowing temperature of the air curtain has adjusted to 60 degrees C with the inside temperature was aimed to kept at +7 degrees C while the outside temperature was-5 degrees C. It is found that there is less flow occurred to the environment from conditioned volume at 2.5 3, 4 and 5 meter height cases. In these cases, the air curtain also contributes the heating of the conditioned room. But some ratio of the air flows through the atmosphere and the room cannot kept at the +7 degrees C initial temperature at 6 m case. It is also found that the heating ratio at different blowing heights differs between 0,89-1,98 comparing the case without an air curtain.Article Citation - Scopus: 7Classification of 3b alzheimer's mr images using voxel values in volumetric loss regions(TUBITAK, 2020) Öziç, Muhammet Üsame; Özşen, SeralAlzheimer's Disease is a deadly neurological disease that begins with cognitive disorders and forgetfulness. Volumetric changes caused by the disease in the brain can be monitored with high resolution magnetic resonance images. In this study, volumetric losses occurring in gray matter and white matter regions were mapped by voxel-based morphometry method using 3D T1-weighted magnetic resonance images taken form OASIS database, and a decision support system was designed that classifies alzheimer's and normal magnetic resonance images with significant voxel values in these regions. SPM8, MRIcro programs and VBM8 library were used for inter-group voxel-based morphometry on magnetic resonance images. Gray matter and white matter regions were masked with binary masks obtained from volumetric loss maps. Significant data sets were created with voxel values corresponding to the same coordinate points from the areas under the mask in each gray matter and white matter image. With feature ranking methods, the data were ranked from the most meaningful feature to the most meaningless feature. The ranked features were given as input to the support vector machine using linear and rbf kernel with 10 fold cross validation. As a result of the experiments, the highest accuracy rates were found as 92.857% in gray matter classification and 79.286% in white matter classification with linear support vector machines based on t-test feature ranking. © 2020, TUBITAK.

While modeling the determination of the nonlinear properties and deformation capacities for each component of the structure should be determined. Pushover analysis is carried out for either user-defined nonlinear hinge properties or defaulthinge properties, available in some programs based on the TBDY 2018 and ASCE 41-17 standards. Assigning the incorrect default-hinge properties may lead to unreasonable displacement capacities for existing structures. In this study the performance analysis of a single span structure was performed according to TBDY 2018 and ASCE 41-17 codes and the results were compared. Number of stories of the structures were changed for the parametric study. Capacity curves have been obtained as a result of the analysis performed on the building systems. The peak displacement amount calculated according to ASCE 41-17 was obtained more than the peak displacement amount calculated according to TBDY 2018. The amount of base shear force and story shear forces calculated according to TBDY 2018 has been obtained more than ASCE 41-17. The most effective parameters for the plastic hinge properties are plastic hinge length and transverse reinforcement spacing. The results of analyses obtained from the TBDY 2018 and ASCE 41-17 codes show that the structural performance depends on the number of vertical loads, effective stiffness of the structural members and plastic hinge properties. © 2021, TUBITAK.

The procedure is performed by an experienced physician and takes more time. When this process is automated, the processing load will be reduced and the time required to identify disease will also be reduced. In this paper, 8 different transform methods for automatic sleep-staging based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were compared to classify sleep stages using single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Five different labels were used to stage the sleep. These are Wake (W), NonREM-1 (N1), NonREM-2 (N2), NonREM-3 (N3), and REM (R). The classifications were done end-to-end without any hand-crafted features, ie without requiring any feature engineering. Time-Frequency components obtained by Short Time Fourier Transform, Discrete Wavelet Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform, Hilbert-Huang Transform, Discrete Gabor Transform, Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform, Choi-Williams Distribution, and Wigner-Willie Distribution were classified with a supervised deep convolutional neural network to perform sleep staging. The discrete Cosine Transform-CNN method (DCT-CNN) showed the highest performance among the methods suggested in this paper with an F1 score of 89% and a value of 0.86 kappa. The findings of this study revealed that the transformation techniques utilized for the most accurate representation of input data are far superior to traditional approaches based on manual feature extraction, which acquires time, frequency, or nonlinear characteristics. The results of this article are expected to be useful to researchers in the development of low-cost, and easily portable devices.
