"The author is her own character" : a few words on the right to an autobiographical reading of İnci Aral's novels
No full textThis article focuses on the problem of autobiographical reading of the novels by İnci Aral, a modern Turkish writer who is considered to be one of the most remarkable authors of Turkish postmodern literature. None of her novels has been explicitly referred to as an autobiography, but numerous autothematic statements (such as "the author is her own character" used as a title of this article) allow to advance a thesis on an autobiographical character of İnci Aral's writings. In the article the right to an autobiographical reading of the İnci Aral's novels has been justified by analyzing the profile of the novels' characters in comparison to the author's biography. Special importance has been attached to the repeatability of narrative motifs such as difficult childhood and unsuccessful marriage and depression, which are motifs corresponding to İnci Aral's personal experience

Spatial harvest scheduling for oak coppices conversion into high forest involving wood production management
No full textcaglayan, inci/0000-0002-9539-5273;WOS: 000441763600002Oak forests in northern Turkey have been largely managed as coppice. Nevertheless, in parallel with the decrease in demand of firewood and charcoal, the coppices, having no social demand or regional pressure, have been converted into high forests since 2006. Because of this new regulation, a potential need has arisen to schedule forest harvests activities, which is based on the natural regeneration in those forests. The objective of this research was to develop a spatial forest planning process to schedule new harvests activities in coppices conversion into high forests. In the proposed study, four different planning strategies were used to estimate the most appropriate period for regeneration. Constraints essentially included those related to the need for an even flow, adjacency and to adhere to a maximum opening size. The scheduling process employed a mixed integer linear programming to schedule harvest activities and to maximize amount of harvested volume in planning horizon. The process was employed for the development of 100-year planning horizon for a Sergen forest range in the Thrace region of northern Turkey that was 3,448.8 ha in size. For obtaining various spatial data and solving the mathematical model, ArcMap and GAMS programs were used, respectively. Results showed that the value of the objective function in the case study forests could significantly increase when there is no constraint under the proposed harvesting plans in strategy 1 (3,652,072.8 m(3)). The amounts of wood production were similar in strategy 2 (3,547,613.5 m(3)) and strategy 4 (3,547,393.5 m(3))
Seasonal Resin Production in Pinus pinaster Ait. Plantations: Dendrometric and Meteorological Influences
No full textThe relationship between dendrometric and meteorological parameters and resin production in Pinus pinaster plantations was studied using data from 90 trees collected between June and October. Resin production was measured every 15 days over a five-month period to explore how environmental factors influence resin production rates. The correlation between diameter at breast height (DBH) ranging from 20 cm to 49 cm and total and average resin production was examined, with the goal to optimize resin harvesting practices and to understand the ecological significance of resin in these plantations. The bi-monthly resin production was tested using the open wound tapping method over a five-month period beginning in June. Through regression models, significant seasonal variability in resin production was observed. Specifically, higher resin yields were recorded in June (354 g) and lower yields in October (53.5 g). The impact of DBH, tree height, basal area, and volume on resin yield were also assessed. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses elucidated the relationships between tree metrics, meteorological factors, and resin production. This study contributes new insights into how tree characteristics influence resin production and how this relationship is modulated by seasonal changes. Such findings can inform sustainable forest management practices and improve resin harvesting methods

Feasibility of Bolted Connectors in Hybrid FRP-Steel Structures
No full textDue to the low weight and excellent durability of composite materials, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks mounted on steel superstructures are becoming all the more common in engineering practice. Bolted joints are generally used to facilitate connections between an FRP deck and steel girders in road bridges. The connections are subjected to both high magnitude static forces as well as fatigue loading due to overpassing vehicles. With ever increasing traffic on both road and railway bridges, fatigue performance is of critical concern. Bolted FRP joints have been extensively researched in the past under static loading, but less is known about the fatigue and creep behaviour of such joints. Furthermore, little research exists on non-pultruded FRP profiles connected using bolted connections. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate connectors’ feasibility by means of static, fatigue and creep experiments on four different types of bolted joints comprising mechanical connectors and injection techniques. The study focuses on application in vacuum infused GFRP panels with integrated webs made of multi-directional laminates, connected to steel bridge superstructures. In addition, experimental results are validated by Finite Element Analyses (FEA). Based on the obtained results, the novel injected steel-reinforced resin (iSRR) connector developed at TU Delft shows promising potential in hybrid steel-FRP bridges where good fatigue endurance of the connection and local loads in FRP panel, are required.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Steel & Composite Structure
Shear Force in Bolted Connection Due to Traffic and Temperature Loads in Hybrid Steel-FRP Bridges
No full textAs many bridges are reaching the end of their service life, researchers are searching for new solutions to extend the lifespan of those bridges. Fibre reinforce polymers (FRP) could be possible a solution for bridges with deck problems. Lightweight FRP decks can be installed quickly via bolted connectors on steel substructure. In general, shear force in the connector is not taken into account during the design of FRP decks because slip behaviour and interaction with steel substructure is unknown. This research connects to research at TU Delft on non-slip shear connectors for FRP decks. Aim of this paper is to quantify shear forces in bolted connectors due to traffic and temperature loads. The direction of webs, fibres in panel facings and the expansion coefficient of resin has been investigated to determine the influence of the FRP deck on the shear force in the connectors. To investigate the results of traffic loading and temperature loading on real bridges, a database of bridges in the Netherlands has been used. Results from the analyses offer an indication of the influence of the laminates on the shear force in the connectors and show shear force ranges that can occur in existing bridges.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Steel & Composite Structure
Reconciling Computer and Hand: The Case of Author Identity in Design Presentations
No full textAs computers were newly emerging in the field of architectural design, it was claimed that the impact of computers would change the way architects design and present. However, within the course of computer use in design, although the field of architectural practice might have been altered extremely, in architectural education there still seems to be a bond to conventional mind-hand-paper relation. One of the reasons for that bond is the fact that although being related to many technologies, architecture essentially positions itself around an artistic core that is still fed with conventional modes of creation. Architectural education aims at adopting and working on this very core. One of the major contributors in the formation of this core is the presence of author identity. This paper makes a critical approach to computers in terms of expressing author identity in design presentations especially during design education. We believe that the author identity is important in design education in terms of identifying the potential and skills of the student. Especially in design education the final step of design process turns out to be the presentation, unlike architectural practice where the presented design is actually built. Within this conception, two different studies were held in an educational environment with 160 design students and 20 design instructors. The results of both studies pointed at the fact that the digital opportunities that exist for design education should evolve around preserving and underlining the author identity in design presentations
