This paper presents a novel approach for estimating wheat yields based on estimated abundances of endmembers attributed to photosynthetic pigments, using Landsat 8 images acquired during maximum greenness. Endmembers within the wheat pixels are found using an unmixing algorithm then they are further optimized to maximize the predictive power of the abundances for the yields. Similarity of the endmembers to photosynthetic pigment's spectral signatures and their predictive power suggests their relevance to the pigments. Although the initial unmixing of the intimate mixture of photosynthetic pigments is linear, interactions of abundances are used in the optimization to handle the non-linearity using bilinear model. Wheat yields are estimated with abundances, their relevant interactions, agrometeorological parameters and vegetation indices using three machine learning algorithms. Harvester records from 142 fields are used as ground truth for performance assessment. The yields are estimated with 82% accuracy (RMSE = 22.51) when Random Forest algorithm is used with important parameters.

A multi-temporal masking classification method for field-based agricultural crop mapping Arıkan, Mahmut; Türker, Mustafa; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2003) This study describes the field-based classification of agricultural crops using multi-date Landsat 7 ETM+ images acquired in May, July, and August 2000. The study area is located in north-west of Turkey with a size of about 1 5 km x 1 1.3 km and grows a variety of crops. The objective was to identify the summer (August) crops within the agricultural fields. The classification methodology is based on a multi- temporal masking of Landsat 7 ETM+ images. First, a supervised per-pixel classification of the three...
The Development of bifacial dye sensitized solar cells based on binary ionic liquid electrolyte Coşar, Mustafa Burak; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) In this study, we investigated the effect of electrolyte composition, photoanode thickness, and the additions of GuSCN (guanidinium thiocyanate), NMB (N-methylbenimidazole), and SiO2 on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs (dye sensitized solar cells). A bifacial DSSC is realized and irradiated from front and rear sides. The devices give maximum photovoltaic efficiencies for 70% PMII (1-propyl 3-ethylimidazoliumiodide)/30%(EMIB(CN)4)(1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetracyano borate) electrolyte composition a...
Enhanced pectinase production by optimizing fermentation conditions of Bacillus subtilis growing on hazelnut shell hydrolyzate Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2015-03-01) This study describes optimization of polygalacturonase (PG) production using Bacillus subtilis in submerged fermentation by Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM). Five variables (pH, time, temperature, yeast extract concentration and K2HPO4), which were determined to be significant by the PB analysis, were further optimized using Box-Behnken response surface method. The optimization results indicated that a maximal PG activity of 5.60 U mL(-1) was achieved at pH 7.0, 72 h, and 3...
A GRAIN MODEL FOR CATALYST TORTUOSITY Doğu, Timur (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01) A simple model was proposed for the prediction of tortuosity factor of porous solids with mono or bidispersed pore size distributions. Model predictions were presented in graphical form for quick estimation of tortuosity. The experimental tortuosity factors reported in the literature for porous solids of different pore structures and the corresponding predicted values showed good agreement.
An Energetic Type Model for the Cross shore Distribution of Total Longshore Sediment Transport Rate Baykal, Cüneyt; Güler, Işıkhan (2012-07-06) This paper presents an energetic-based simple approach for the computation of cross-shore distribution of total longshore sediment transport (LST) rates. The proposed approach (Baykal 2012) follows similar assumptions with the given formula of Bayram et al. (2007) for the total LST rate (Qlst,t) across the surf zone and is applied to investigate the relation between the rate of dissipation in wave energy flux due to wave breaking and total longshore sediment flux using the available laboratory measurements ...
