The characteristics of glycoconjugates in the mucous cells of the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L. 1758) gill were investigated by histochemical staining procedures. Histochemical results showed that mucous cells in the primary filament (primary lamellae) epithelium contain acidic, neutral and…

Let G be simple, connected weighted graphs, where the edge weights are positive definite matrices. In this paper, we will ive an upper bound on the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix for a graph G and characterize graphs for which the…

In today’s business, travelling times are affected by many factors such as traffic, weather, road etc. So deterministic approaches can not find any solution for problems where such an ambiguity happens. This paper deals with the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP)…

In the present competitive age, the organization tries to gain competitive edge. In order to gain competitive edge, the managers need to consider and analyze performance of their organizations and to decide to improve them. There are various approaches to…

One of the limited and valuable resources which are “Time” and “Time Management” are examined by this paper. With this view, time management of top executives of the successful companies of Turkey is studied. The central message of the article…

This study demonstrates the effects of thermal comfort in real traffic conditions. An experimental system on road is designed to evaluate drivers’ thermal comfort. The aim of this study was to determine the thermal comfort values preferred as “thermo neutral”…

In a production facility there may be more than one straight assembly line located in parallel. Balancing of parallel assembly lines will provide the flexibility to minimize the total number of workstations due to common resource. This type of problem…

Water quality and its enhancement have a close connection with the presence of dissolved oxygen. In fact, the oxygen concentration in surface waters is a prime indicator of the water quality for human use as well as for the aquatic…

This paper is a report on a study of shrinkage-weight loss relationships for normal and high strength concrete specimens of different sizes. The maximum aggregate size used in concrete mixes was 10mm. Three geometrically similar test specimens of a cylindrical…

A simple algorithm for the derivation of load-deformation relationships of a beam-column element is developed. Nonlinear beam-column element is modeled considering inelastic flexural deformations, geometric nonlinearities and elastic shear and axial deformations. In a frame structure, one element is used…
