In this study, landslide susceptibility mapping using a completely expert opinion-based approach was applied for the Sinop (northern Turkey) region and its close vicinity. For this purpose, an easy-to-use program, "MamLand," was developed for the construction of a Mamdani fuzzy inference system and employed in MATLAB. Using this newly developed program, it is possible to construct a landslide susceptibility map based on expert opinion. In this study, seven conditioning parameters characterising topographical, geological, and environmental conditions were included in the FIS. A landslide inventory dataset including 351 landslide locations was obtained for the study area. After completing the data production stage of the study, the data were processed using a soft computing approach, i.e., a Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system. In this system, only landslide conditioning data were assessed, and landslide inventory data were not included in the assessment approach. Thus, a file depicting the landslide susceptibility degrees for the study area was produced using the Mamdani FIS. These degrees were then exported into a GIS environment, and a landslide susceptibility map was produced and assessed in point of statistical interpretation. For this purpose, the obtained landslide susceptibility map and the landslide inventory data were compared, and an area under curve (AUC) obtained from receiver operating characteristics (ROC) assessment was carried out. From this assessment, the AUG value was found to be 0.855, indicating that this landslide susceptibility map, which was produced in a data-independent manner, was successful.

A new approach to evaluate the MODIS annual NPP product (MOD17A3) using forest field data from Turkey Gulbeyaz, Onder; Bond-Lamberty, Ben; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; West, Tristram O. (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) In this study, we present the first evaluation of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) annual net primary production (NPP) for Turkey's forest ecosystems using field measurements. Due to lack of country scale field measurements (i.e. flux tower for forest ecosystems), tree DBH (diameter at breast height) data set provided by Ministry of Forest and Water Affairs (MFWA) of Turkey is used to calculate NPP of Turkey's forest ecosystems. The lack of a reliable NPP data set leads the research...
An interactive program for GPS-based dynamic orbit determination of small satellites Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01) This work introduces a near real-time dynamic orbit determination program for small satellites. A quality check of orbit data on ground is important for satellites with GPS positioning that is only available at discrete time epochs because of the limited power-supply onboard, so that space-borne GPS receivers are switched on/off intermittently, or because of possible malfunctioning of GPS receivers. The method of parameter estimation with space-borne GPS position fixes as observations is based on an extende...
THE UPDATE OF KAYDER INFORMATION-SYSTEM FOR IGNEOUS ROCK DATA IN TURKEY UNAN, C (Elsevier BV, 1993-09-01) The KAYDER project has been active since 1973 as a database of petrological and geochemical data on igneous rocks from Turkey. It was developed as part of IGCP Project No. 163 (IGBA) and now has 2807 analyses of igneous rocks taken from 123 publications. dBASE III Plus and GW BASIC were used to write programs to detect errors, to calculate petrographic parameters and to plot data in various diagrams including a map of Turkey.
A Case Study for Determination of Hydrological Parameters in HEC HMS In Computing Direct Runoff Akay, Hüseyin; Baduna Koçyiğit, Müsteyde; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (null; 2016-09-23) This study deals with the computation of the direct runoff of a precipitation pattern recorded in a watershed in Western Black Sea Region, Turkey. The aim is to perform a hydrological parameter evaluation using HEC-HMS for a basin with an outlet at Bayıryüzü stream gaging station situated close to Ulus town. The basin is highly mountainous along the rivers and forestry. The basin takes large amounts of rain all year round and the runoff of the basin flows into Ulus stream where more frequent flooding with d...
A new computerized moving stage for optical microscopes Hatiboglu, CU; Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2004-06-01) Measurements of microscope stage movements in the x and y directions are of importance for some stereological methods. Traditionally, the length of stage movements is measured with differing precision and accuracy using a suitable motorized stage, a microscope and software. Such equipment is generally expensive and not readily available in many laboratories. One other challenging problem is the adaptability to available microscope systems which weakens the possibility of the equipment to be used with any ki...
