Total of 6035 horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus L. 1758, found in the Black Sea, caught by various types of fishing gear, as purse seines, bottom trawls, gillnets, mid-water trawls and fishing lines had been examined ...

An alternative way to generate electricity from solar energy is through the use of generators comprising Stirling engines with a parabolic collector. This study describes a parabolic collector with Stirling engine and ...

In this study, an energy harvester using the mechanical vibrations created by the airflow on piezoelectric transducers outside a vehicle was designed, produced and introduced. The introduced harvester has an energy production ...

In this study, cubuk 2, Kesikkopru and Asartepe Dam Lake, were investigated. A total of 60 sediment samples were collected and the concentrations of 10 elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe, Co, Cr, Al, As) were determined. The ...

This study introduces an experimental power generation system based on piezoelectric energy conversion for low-power applications such as wireless sensor nodes. Piezoelectric Transducers (PZTs) are especially suitable for ...

This paper reviews some frequently used methods to initialize an radial basis function (RBF) network and presents systematic design procedures for pre-processing unit(s) to initialize RBF network from available input-output ...

In order to maximise the power from a harvester including a great number of piezoelectric transducers (PZTs), the outputs of these transducers should be connected in a suitable way. Since each PZT can be thought of as a ...

In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA)-containing alginate-gelatin films were prepared by solution casting method by blending alginate (A) and gelatin (G) solutions, followed by crosslinking with calcium chloride. HA (1, 2, ...

Elemental accumulation, distribution and relationship profiles for sediment samples taken at 81 localities in the Koycegiz Lake were investigated. Spatial distribution maps for ten elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Mo, ...
