The sediments of the Marmara Sea are of importance since they are believed to have been a rather sensitive recorder of climatic, biological and chemical changes and water-mass movements in the region. In this ...

The human induced climate change is the most serious and difficult environmental issue to manage that has emerged in the recent decades. The complexity of this problem lies in the fact that if the increase in atmospheric ...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are being employed in an increasing number of critical or widely popular consumer/ industrial products leading to increase in their demand particularly in the last few decades. Since almost all ...

In this study, a numerical model has been developed to predict currents and water levels prevailing in the Marmara Sea. The model is a depth averaged two-layer transient model to adequately simulate stratified flow conditions ...

The ultimate disposal of wastewater sludge (biosolids) continues to be one of the most difficult and expensive problems in the field of wastewater engineering. Wastewater treatment plants generate different sludges, like ...

In recent years, the importance of the environmental concerns at shipping and the related standards/safety measures have become subject to clear understanding and acceptance of each country at international platforms. The ...

All forms of lignocellulosic biomass consist of three major chemical components: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The remaining lignin from bioethanol production can be utilized as a feedstock for green chemicals. The ...

Aggregation/agglomeration of nanoparticles affects their fate and transport in natural waters. Although nanoparticles behave as colloidal matter expressing aggregation/agglomeration properties under natural water conditions, ...

Soil is a vital resource for life. Soil erosion is one of the most serious natural problem caused by degrading land, agricultural and other human induced activities. The aim of this study is to predict the soil loss in the ...

Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a method for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics with a wide range of clinical applications. fNIRS signals are contaminated with systemic physiological interferences from both ...
