Since the outburst of Mnemiopsis sp. in 1988-1990 in the Black Sea, two international cruises in June 1991 and in July 1992, and a subsequent survey in August 1993, have determined the distributions of both the invading Mnemiopsis sp. and the resident Aurelia aurita and Pleurobrachia pileus. Aurelia aurita and Pleurobrachia pileus displayed the lowest and the highest population densities of 3-14 individuals m(-2) and 172-523 individuals m(-2), respectively. The abundances of Mnemiopsis sp. varied from 12-45 individuals m(-2). The lower ends of the ranges were found in June 1991, whilst the highest abundances occurred in July 1992 and August 1993. Despite the differences in abundance, the average biomass of all three species was about 200 g m(-2) wet weight in July 1992 and August 1993, though in June 1991 biomass values were approximately half those found in succeeding years. The abundances and biomass of Mnemiopsis sp. were more than three times higher in the eastern than in the western Black Sea during 1992 and 1993. The biomass of Mnemiopsis sp. and Aurelia aurita decreased in 1992 and 1993 compared to its value in the 1980s, but the biomass of the deep-dwelling Pleurobrachia pileus doubled between 1990/1991 and 1993.

AV Bitsadze's observation on bianalytic functions and the Schwarz problem AKSOY, ÜMİT; Begehr, Heinrich; ÇELEBİ, AHMET OKAY (2019-08-03) According to an observation of A.V. Bitsadze from 1948 the Dirichlet problem for bianalytic functions is ill-posed. A natural boundary condition for the polyanalytic operator, however, is the Schwarz condition. An integral representation for the solutions in the unit disc to the inhomogeneous polyanalytic equation satisfying Schwarz boundary conditions is known. This representation is extended here to any simply connected plane domain having a harmonic Green function. Some other boundary value problems are ...
Observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) The observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay is reported using proton-proton collision data collected at root s = 13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 60fb(-1). The ratio of the branching fractions B(Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi)/B(Lambda(0)(b) > psi(2S)Lambda) is measured to be (8.26 +/- 0.90 (stat) +/- 0.68 (syst) +/- 0.11 (B)) x 10(-2), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last uncertaint...
On Black Sea Anchovy and Its Fishery Gücü, Ali Cemal; Dagtekin, Murat; Sakinan, Serdar; Ak, Orhan; Ok, Meltem (2017-01-01) Members of the Engraulidae (anchovies) fuel large fisheries around the globe, helping to fulfil demands for food. On the other hand, unpredictable catches that are a very common occurrence with respect to this family can have drastic consequences on economies of different countries. Like many other fisheries, the Black Sea anchovy fishery is a very good example of a fishery greatly affected by abrupt peaks and troughs in landings. In this work, the existing knowledge on the species' overwintering behavior a...
Automatic sense prediction of explicit discourse connectives in Turkish with the help of centering theory and morphosyntactic features Çetin, Savaş; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018) Discourse connectives (and, but, however) are one of many means of keeping the discourse coherent. Discourse connectives are classified into groups based on their senses (expansion, contingency, etc.). They describe the semantic relationship of two discourse units. This study aims to build a machine learning system to predict the sense of explicit discourse connectives on the Turkish Discourse Bank data, which is manually gold-annotated. To do so, this study examines the effect of several features: i.e. tra...
A comparative study of aisc-360 and eurocode 3 strength limit states Şahin, Serkan; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Nowadays; design, fabrication and erection of steel structures can be taken place at different locations as a result of rapid globalization; owners may require the use of widely accepted steel design codes. Therefore, engineers are faced with the challenge of being competent with several design specifications for a particular material type. AISC-360 and EC3 are widely accepted steel structure design specifications that utilize limit state principles with some similarities and differences in application. Her...
