Novel insights on demographic history of tribal and caste groups from West Maharashtra (India) using genome-wide data Debortoli, Guilherme; Abbatangelo, Cristina; Ceballos, Francisco; Fortes-Lima, Cesar; Norton, Heather L.; Ozarkar, Shantanu; Parra, Esteban J.; Jonnalagadda, Manjari (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-6-22) The South Asian subcontinent is characterized by a complex history of human migrations and population interactions. In this study, we used genome-wide data to provide novel insights on the demographic history and population relationships of six Indo-European populations from the Indian State of West Maharashtra. The samples correspond to two castes (Deshastha Brahmins and Kunbi Marathas) and four tribal groups (Kokana, Warli, Bhil and Pawara). We show that tribal groups have had much smaller effective popul...
Direct Visualization of the Hydration Layer on Alumina Nanoparticles with the Fluid Cell STEM in situ FIRLAR, Emre; Çınar, Simge; KASHYAP, Sanjay; AKINC, MÜFİT; PROZOROV, Tanya (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-05-21) Rheological behavior of aqueous suspensions containing nanometer-sized powders is of relevance to many branches of industry. Unusually high viscosities observed for suspensions of nanoparticles compared to those of micron size powders cannot be explained by current viscosity models. Formation of so-called hydration layer on alumina nanoparticles in water was hypothesized, but never observed experimentally. We report here on the direct visualization of aqueous suspensions of alumina with the fluid cell in si...
Investigation of Waterhammer Problems in Wind-Hydro Hybrid Power Plants DİNÇER, Ali Ersin; Bozkuş, Zafer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-12-01) Sudden flow changes in confined pipe systems generate transient flow (waterhammer) conditions accompanied with very high or sometimes very low pressures traveling back and forth in the system. Depending on the magnitude of those pressures, pipe collapse or pipe bursting may take place at the weakest points of the system, resulting in costly damages as well as loss of human lives in some cases. In general, it may be encountered in the penstocks of hydropower plants, water transmission lines and water network...
Segregation dynamics with reinforcement learning and agent based modeling Sert, Egemen; Bar-Yam, Yaneer; Morales, Alfredo J. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-7-16) Societies are complex. Properties of social systems can be explained by the interplay and weaving of individual actions. Rewards are key to understand people's choices and decisions. For instance, individual preferences of where to live may lead to the emergence of social segregation. In this paper, we combine Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Agent Based Modeling (ABM) in order to address the self-organizing dynamics of social segregation and explore the space of possibilities that emerge from considering d...
Time-wise variation of scouring at bridge abutments Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01) Accurate estimation of the maximum possible depth of scour at bridge C, abutments is important in decision-making for the safe depth of burial of footings. Besides, investigation of the geometric features of scour holes around abutments provides useful information for the degree of scour counter-measure to be implemented against excessive scouring. Experiments have been performed to investigate time-dependent characteristics of scour holes around vertical wall abutments under clear water conditions with uni...
