Sediment accumulation in the Golden Horn has been established by means of a useful geochronological technique; 210Pb Radiometric Dating Method. The 210Pb dating technique revealed a sediment accumulation rate of 3.5 cm yr−1 which is very reasonable given the characteristics of the Golden Horn. The 210Pb profile also revealed three distinct levels in the sediments of the Golden Horn; a surface layer with nearly uniform activities, an exponential decay interval and a lower region with almost constant low activity.

POLLUTION CHRONOLOGY OF THE GOLDEN HORN SEDIMENTS Teksöz, Gaye; BALKAS, TI (1991-01-01) Sediment accumulation in the Golden Horn has been established by means of a useful geochronological technique; 210Pb Radiometric Dating Method. The 210Pb dating technique revealed a sediment accumulation rate of 3.5 cm yr−1 which is very reasonable given the characteristics of the Golden Horn.

Wave - Induced Suspended Sediment Flux Degradation due to Emergent Vegetation Koroglu, Aysun; Elginoz, Nilay; Oğuz, Elif; Kabdasli, M Sedat (2012-06-22) It is well known that sediment movement is affected by aquatic vegetation under flow and wave conditions. However this impact is not fully understood yet. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of emergent vegetation on suspended sediment flux under wave conditions. In this context, an experimental study was conducted and wave orbital velocities and suspended sediment concentrations are measured through 4 m long emergent reeds under regular waves. Suspended sediment fluxes were calculated and the ...
Sedimentary basin deformation: an incremental stress approach Tuncay, Kağan; Ortoleva, P. (Elsevier BV, 2000-8) A key component of sedimentary basin evolution is the spatial distribution and temporal variation of stress and deformation. The many deformation processes (poroelasticity, fracturing, irreversible nonlinear viscosity, and pressure solution) are inextricably bound in a tightly coupled network which, in turn, is coupled to a myriad of basin diagenetic, thermal and hydrologic processes. In the approach presented here, the various deformation processes are integrated through an incremental stress approach. Tog...
Selective Preconcentration of Gold from Ore Samples Refiker, Hurmus; Merdivan, Melek; Aygun, Ruveyde Sezer (Hindawi Limited, 2018-9-12) A simple and selective method has been developed for preconcentration of gold in ore samples. The method is based on use of N, N-diethyl-N’-benzoylthiourea (DEBT) as selective chelating agent and Amberlite XAD-16 as solid sorbent. Sorption behavior of gold with DEBT impregnated resin under optimized conditions has been studied in batch process. The gold ion capacity of the impregnated resin is calculated as 33.48 mg g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> resin (0.17 mmol g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> resin). The selective pre...
Cyclic behavior of Adapazarı silt and clay mixtures Pekcan, Onur; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık (null; 2004-01-07) Within the confines of this paper, it is intended to understand cyclic behavior of clayey silt and silty clay mixtures, sampled from Adapazarı–Turkey. For this purpose, series of cyclic triaxial tests were performed on the samples retrieved from five selected soil sites, where buildings founded on these soils exhibited significant foundation displacements. After consolidating samples to 0.50 atm. cyclic loads were applied to simulate 1999 Kocaeli-Turkey earthquake shaking. Volumetric strains were recorded b...
