In this study, we quantify the reduction in total sigma (sigma(total)) of the Turkish ground-motion predictive models by partially removing the ergodic assumption. By partitioning residuals into four components: repeatable source-specific and site-specific deviations from the population mean as well as site-corrected within-event and source-corrected between-event parts, event-corrected single-station standard deviation (phi(ss)) and source-corrected between-event standard deviation (tau(ss)) models were derived. With site correction, sigma(total) was shown to reduce by 15%. With source correction as well, sigma(total) was shown to reduce by a further 15% at short-and long-period ranges. The developed aleatory variability models are recommended to be used in hazard assessment studies of single sites under the dominant effect of the North Anatolian fault zone. Last but not least, we quantify the total ground-motion variability by computing the model-to-model variability and statistical-error components of epistemic uncertainty corresponding to two recent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment efforts for Turkey.

Evaluation of environmental parameters in logistic regression models for landslide susceptibility mapping Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01) The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with the parameters used in the literature. In order to achieve this goal, 20 different environmental parameters were mapped in a well-studied landslide-prone area, the Asarsuyu catchment in northwest Turkey. A total of 4400 seed cells were generated from 47 different landslides and merged with different attributes of 20 different environmental causative variables i...
Prediction of organizational effectiveness in construction companies Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-02-01) Investigation of literature on organizational effectiveness (OE) reveals that the researchers have been in consensus for the difficulty of defining, modeling, and measuring OE, which is important for attaining high performance. Major focuses of this paper are, therefore, to construct a conceptual framework to model OE, to derive major determinants of OE from this framework, and to measure OE by constructing prediction models based on artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple regression (MR) techniques. B...
Performance outcomes of interorganizational trust in buyer-seller relationships: the case of the relationship between a pharmacy and a drug wholesaler Şengün, Ayşe Elif; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı; Department of Business Administration (2005) This study examines the performance outcomes of interorganizational trust using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Using qualitative data from four informants and drawing on the literature on trust, we define interorganizational trust and derive a model of its outcomes. Regression analysis results indicate that trust is negatively related to transaction costs and positively related to cooperation, conflict resolution, satisfaction, and risk taking tendency. Dependence has a moderating effect on trus...
Comparison of different yield criteria in various deep drawn cups Cogun, Ferah; Darendeliler, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-03-01) The aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of three recent yield criteria namely; BBC2008-8p, Yld2003-8p, Hu2003 through the simulation of the hemispherical, cylindrical and square cup drawing processes by comparing the results with the ones obtained by using the von Mises criterion for the isotropic, kinematic and combined hardening and the Hill'48 criterion. For this purpose, two different sheet materials, SS304 stainless steel and DKP6112 steel, and various punch travels were used in the simulat...
Preparation and Characterization of Neodymia Doped PVA/Zr-Ce Oxide Nanocrystalline Composites via Electrospinning Technique Keskin, Selda; Uslu, Ibrahim; TUNÇ, TUNCAY; ÖZTÜRK, MUSTAFA; Aytimur, Arda (2011-01-01) In this study, neodymia doped poly(vinyl) alcohol/zirconium-cerium acetate (PVA/Zr-Ce) nanofibers were prepared using the electrospinning technique, and then calcined at 800 degrees C for 2 hours. For this purpose, PVA/Zr-Ce polymer solutions doped with different concentrations of neodymia were prepared using electrospinning technique, and then calcined and sintered at 800 degrees C for 2 hours. The effect of neodymia doping was investigated in terms of solution properties, morphological changes and thermal...
