Research on the cultivation opportunities of some emergentmacrophytes with landscape value
No full textGünümüzde peyzaj düzenlemelerinde su ve su bitkilerinin kullanımı gittikçe artmakta olup, bu bitkilerin hem işlevsel hem de estetik kullanımına önem verilmeye başlanmıştır. Ancak, özellikle su bitkileri ile ilgili yapılan peyzaj uygulamalarına bakıldığında, bu bitkilerin suyu temizleme gücünün fazla dikkate alınmadığı görülmektedir. Peyzaj uygulamalarında kullanılan bitkilerin daha çok estetik değeri dikkate alınıp, kolay temin edilebilirliği ön planda tutulmaktadır. Bu araştırmayla suda yetişen makrofitlerin doğal ortamları dışında kullanım olanaklarını araştırarak bilimsel literatüre katkıda bulunmak ve bu türlerin peyzaj uygulamalarında hem estetik hem de fonksiyonel amaçlı kullanımını sağlamak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Manyas Kuş Cenneti Milli Parkı gel-git zonunda tespit edilmiş olan ve estetik değeri olan bazı makrofitler doğal ortamları dışında yetiştirilmek hedeflenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, öncelikle arazide gözlem yapılmış ve 10 adet bitki türüne ait üretim örnekleri toplanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında bu bitkiler öncelikle iklim odalarında üretilmiş, daha sonra ise dış ortamda yetiştirilmiştir. Üretimi yapılan bitki türlerinden beşi dış mekanda saksı ortamında yetişmeyi başarmıştır. Gelecek çalışmalarda, araştırma sonucunda belirlenen ve su kenarında yetişebilen doğal bitki türlerinin su temizleme kapasitelerini de araştırmak hedeflenmektedir.In recent landscape designs, the use of aquatic plants is increasing, and both functional and aesthetic aspects of these plants are being emphasized. When looking at the landscape practices involving aquatic plants, however, their water cleansing capacities are often not given enough consideration. The selection of plants used in landscape practices tends to prioritize their aesthetic value and easy availability. This study aims to contribute to the scientific literature by exploring the cultivation opportunities of macrophytes growing in water beyond their native habitats and to promote their use in landscape practices for both aesthetic and functional purposes. For this purpose, some macrophytes with aesthetic value, identified in the tidal zone of the Manyas Bird Sanctuary National Park, have been targeted for cultivation outside their natural environments. Initially, field observations were conducted, and samples of 10 plant species were collected. These plants were first cultivated in a climate-controlled environment and then grown in an outdoor environment. Among the species produced, five have successfully thrived in potted outdoor conditions. In future studies, the research will also investigate the water clarification capacities of the identified native plants species that grow in water
The design and implementation principles of natural swimming pools
No full textDoğal (biyolojik) yüzme havuzları yurtdışında, özellikle de Avrupa ülkelerinde yaygınlaşmaya başlayan bir uygulama olmasına rağmen, ülkemizde yeni duyulmaya ve uygulanmaya başlayan bir gelişmedir. Yapılan bilimsel araştırmalar da bu nedenle daha çok ABD ve Avrupa'da ortaya çıkmakta olup, o bölgelerin iklim koşulları ve bitki örtüleri dikkate alınarak gerçekleşmiştir. Doğal yüzme havuzlarında kullanılan teknolojik altyapı ise çok çeşitlilik göstermekte olup, uygulayıcı firmalar üzerinden özelleşmiştir. Bu tez ile hem yurtdışındaki bilimsel araştırmalardan, hem de ülkemizdeki uygulamalardan elde edilen tecrübelerden yola çıkarak doğal yüzme havuzlarının tasarımında ve uygulanmasında dikkat edilmesi gereken ilkeler ekolojik, teknolojik ve estetik prensipler çerçevesinde belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Tez çalışmasında literatür taramasının yanı sıra, İstanbul'da doğal yüzme havuzu uygulamaları yapan firmalarla yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın bu sonuçları hem ülkemizdeki uygulamalara yol göstermekte, hem de özellikle ülkemizde konuyla ilgili oldukça sınırlı olan bilimsel literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır.Although natural (biological) swimming pools is a concept that has started to become widespread abroad, especially in European countries, it is a development that has just begun to be heard and implemented in Turkey. For this reason, scientific research has mostly been emerging in the USA and Europe, and they have been carried out taking into account the climatic conditions and vegetation of those regions. The technological infrastructure used in natural swimming pools is very diverse and has been customized through implementing companies. With this thesis, it is aimed to determine the ecological, technological and aesthetic principles that should be considered in the design and implementation of natural swimming pools, based on the experience gained both from implementations in Turkey and scientific literature. In this thesis, in addition to the literature review, face-to-face interviews were conducted with companies that make natural swimming pool implementations in Istanbul. The results of this research both guide practices and contribute to the scientific literature, which is quite limited, especially in Turkey
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
