Experiments were conducted in an on-campus house at Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus during January 2015. Low fat ground beef meat was grilled using an electric stove with no mechanical or natural ventilation. Five PM size fractions ranging from 3.3 mu m to less than 0.43 mu m were investigated in this study. The total particle emission rate and flux values were found to be 4.49x10(1) mg min(-1) and 1.45x10(3) mg min(-1) m(-2), respectively. Total OC emission rate and flux values were 2.3x10(1) mg min(-1) and 7.33x10(2) mg min(-1) m(-2), respectively, and total EC emission rate and flux values were determined to be 1.19 mg min(-1) and 3.85x10(1) mg min(-1) m(-2), respectively. Analyses of trace metal concentrations showed that Fe (0.429 mg m(3)), Ti (0.270 mg.m(-3)), Sr (0.27 mg m(-3)), Ba (0.24 mg m(-3)) and Li (0.23 mg m(-3)) were the five most abundant trace elements in the PM produced during grilling ground beef. Pb, Mn, and V concentrations were found to be greater than the World Health Organization (WHO) exposure limit.

An analysis of the thermal performance of METU staff housing units and calibratıon of their simulated model Bağcı, Mediha Özlem; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2008) The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal performance of residential units in the Middle East Technical University (METU) Campus, Ankara. The study was conducted on the unoccupied residential units to eliminate the occupant interventions. There were only three unoccupied residential units in the study period, hence sample was considered as randomly selected. Case study units were triplex row houses and all physical characteristics were identical apart from their orientations. The thermal performa...
An Experimental Study on the Cumulative Damage Development of Rubble Mound Structures Şimşek, Kemal Cihan; Baykal, Cüneyt; Ergin, Ayşen; Güler, Işıkhan (2014-06-20) For the purpose of investigating two-dimensional (2D) performance of the designed cross-sections of rubble mound coastal defense structures planned to be constructed at different coastal regions of Turkey, several physical model experiments were carried out in the Ocean Engineering Research Center, Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey. This study presents the comparisons of results of cumulative damage performance of five different crosssections of rubble mound c...
A cross-sectional survey in progress on factors affecting students' academic performance at a Turkish university Erdem, Hikmet Esin (2012-05-12) The present cross-sectional survey concerns the factors affecting students' academic performance at Middle East Technical University in Ankara in Turkey. According to their cumulative grade point average, the students have been categorized as high, average or low achievers. The main research question is: What are the differences between high- and low-achieving students' academic study skills, habits and perceptions as regards the factors affecting their academic performance? The researcher-designed question...
The effect of sun spaces on temperature patterns within buildings: two case studies on the METU campus Kırmızı, Hacer; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2009) The aim of this study was to investigate the passive and active parameters affecting energy efficiency of two office buildings with sun spaces, namely the MATPUM Building and the Solar Building on the Middle East Technical University (METU) Campus, Ankara and the effect of sun spaces on temperature patterns within mentioned buildings. Both buildings were oriented in the same direction, namely south. However, the location and the type of the sunspaces differed from each other. The sun space in the MATPUM Bui...
Investigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) deposition in Ankara Gaga, Eftade O; Tuncel, Semra G.; Department of Chemistry (2004) In this work, wet deposition samples were collected at Middle East Technical University campus, Ankara, between December 2000 and May 2002. Snow samples were collected from 50 grids in January, 2001 in Ankara to investigate dry deposition of PAHs. The collected samples were preconcentrated by Solid Phase Extraction and ultrasonic extraction tecniques. Extraction methodologies were improved prior to analysis of samples. Extracted samples were analyzed by Gas Chromotography-Mass Spectrometry for 14 Polycyclic...
