In this study, the power coefficient of one-point liquid limit equation given by ASTM 4318-17 is evaluated for weathered volcanic deposits of Northern Turkey. Total of 35 soil samples taken from depths ranging from 0.2 m to 4 m from 8 different sites in the city of Rize and one site in Trabzon, Turkey are used, and a total of 77 Atterberg limit tests are conducted. Three different sample preparation methods are used: (1) starting from in-situ moisture content without any drying, (2) drying at 60°C oven, (3) drying at 110°C oven. For liquid limit determination by one-point method, the best fitting power coefficient is evaluated for different sample preparation conditions separately, and are compared with the power coefficient suggested by ASTM D4318-17. Soils used in this study are in ML-OL to MH-OH zones in plasticity chart and the liquid limit values vary in the range of 35% to 103% (moist preparation). Liquid limits obtained by multi-point method and the ones obtained by one-point method are found to be similar to each other. It is concluded that although the power coefficient changes (in the range of 0.106 to 0.133 with an average value of 0.120) due to sample preparation technique, they are close to ASTM-suggested power value of 0.121, and the differences in resulting liquid limits are negligibly small (0-2%).

Pressure dependence of the heat capacity near the melting point in benzene
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2017-09-01)
The heat capacity C-p is calculated as a function of pressure at constant temperatures of 25, 40 and 51 degrees C for the solid and liquid phases of benzene near the melting point. For this calculation, the observed molar volume from the literature are used at various pressures for constant temperatures indicated through the thermodynamic relations in the solid and liquid phases of benzene near the melting point.

Analysis of The Molar Volume as A Function of Pressure Close to The Melting Point in Ammonia Solid III
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2009-06-01)
This study gives the calculation of the molar volume as a function of pressure for constant temperatures in ammonia solid III near the melting point. Using the value of the critical exponent gamma extracted from the experimental,data for the isothermal compressibility kappa(T). The molar volume calculated here decreases as the pressure increases on approach to the melting point. This critical behaviour can describe the observed behaviour of the molar volume near the melting point, as obtained experimentally...
ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY AND SEEBECK COEFFICIENT OF (LA, CA) (CR, CO)O3
KOC, R; ANDERSON, HU (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1992-10-15)
Electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficients of (La, Ca) (Cr, Co) O3 were measured as a function of temperature. The electrical conductivity as measured in air from 100 to 1100-degrees-C increased with increasing Co and Ca content. The Seebeck coefficients were positive, indicating p-type conductivity. The substitution of Co for Cr significantly decreased the Seebeck coefficients, indicating that the substitution resulted in an increase in site occupancy, associated with the Co. The additional Ca substi...
