- Old oaks (Quercus spp) are rare all over Europe and Turkey and members of the fauna living in thesehabitats are threatened. Nine stands with old hollow oaks, spread on fi ve areas, were studied in Turkey over 2005-2009. In total 90 hollow oaks were studied. The studied oak species are Quercus cerris, Q. infectoria, Q. trojana, Q.libanii, Q. pubescens, Q. ithaburensis and Q. vulcanica. The same methods have been used for sampling the beetles:window traps on the tree trunk and pit fall traps in the wood mould inside the trunk cavities. The traps have been infi eld from middle of April to the end of September during one season per area from 2005 to 2009. The studied areasare all situated 50-150 km from the southern Mediterranean coast at altitudes between 1100-1500 m except one ata lower altitude.In this study two new Allecula species were found: Allecula janssoni Novák sp. nov. and Allecula turcica Nováksp. nov. The species are presently described, illustrated and keyed with all the western Palaearctic species. Bothspecies are probably saproxylic as the other species in the genus and for larval development, they use rotten woodin the trunk cavities.

- A new darkling beetle species, Corticeus turcicus F. Soldati, sp. nov., is described from six localities in Turkey. The only related species in Europe and the whole Mediterranean basin seems to be C. unicolor Piller amp; Mitterpacher, 1783 from which it differs by the smaller body size, yellowish coloration, different with ratio between pronotum and elytra and aedeagal morphology. An updated identification key to the currently known Corticeus species of Turkey is proposed and all species are illustrated. The types of Corticeus fusciventris Reitter, 1884 and C. rufobasalis (Pic, 1917) were studied and a new synonymy is established: C. fasciatus (Fabricius, 1790) = C. rufobasalis (Pic, 1917), syn. nov.

- Studies with large physical models are a vital link between the theoretical work and field applications provided that these models are designed to represent real structures where various types and levels of uncertainties can be incorporated. While comprehensive analytical and laboratory joint studies are ongoing at Qatar University, University of Central Florida and University of Alberta, this paper presents the initial findings of dynamic testing at Qatar University. A laboratory stadium structure (grandstand simulator) has been constructed at Qatar University. Capable of housing thirty spectators, Qatar University grandstand simulator is arguably the largest laboratory stadium in the world. The structure is designed in a way that several different structural configurations can be tested in laboratory conditions to enable researchers to test newly developed damage detection algorithms. The study presented in this paper covers the finite element modeling and modal testing of the test structure.

- One of the main tasks in structural health monitoring process is to create reliable algorithms that are capable of translating the measured response into meaningful information reflecting the actual condition of the monitored structure. The authors have recently introduced a novel unsupervised vibration-based damage detection algorithm that utilizes self-organizing maps to quantify structural damage and assess the overall condition of structures. Previously, this algorithm had been tested using the experimental data of Phase II Experimental Benchmark Problem of Structural Health Monitoring, introduced by the IASC (International Association for Structural Control) and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers). In this paper, the ability of this algorithm to quantify structural damage is tested analytically using an experimentally validated finite element model of a laboratory structure constructed at Qatar University.

Influences of forest type and habitat structure on bird assemblagesof oak (Quercus spp.) and pine (Pinus spp.) stands in southwesternTurkey
- 2015

Ingår i: Forest Ecology and Management. - : Elsevier. - 0378-1127 .- 1872-7042. ; 336, s. 137-147

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Mediterranean basin exhibits a multitude of forest habitats affected by former and current exploitation and management. Recent afforestation programs have resulted in an increase in the proportion of coniferous trees, while oak stands, formerly utilized for coppicing and grazing, are abandoned or converted into coniferous plantations. The loss of oak stands might negatively affect birds dependent upon broadleaved forests. Studies confirming or rejecting that statement are scarce, particularly in the eastern part of the region. Using a study area in southwestern Turkey we applied a guild-based approach to investigate how pine and oak stands across a chronosequence differ in their capacity to support forest bird assemblages. Variables describing the vegetation were sampled to characterize the stands and relate bird assemblages to stand structure. Bird abundance and species richness was positively associated with age for both stand types. Richness and diversity was highest in oak stands, while there were no differences in bird abundance between the two forest types. Pine stands supported a different bird species composition compared to oak stands of the same age. Stand age and structure, rather than forest type, held the highest explanatory powers for bird assembly structure. Primary cavity-nesters and ground-nesters were more abundant in oak stands, possibly reflecting differences in stand structure and resource distribution. To support these birds with suitable habitats, oaks stands need conservation. Management practices in pine stands should strive for increasing the amount of old trees and retain vegetation in the understory to benefit breeding birds.

Sensing and monitoring for stadium structures : a review of recent advances and a forward look
- 2017

Ingår i: Frontiers in Built Environment. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 2297-3362. ; 38:3

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Stadiums like those used for sporting or concert events are distinct from other civil engineering structures due to several different characteristics. Some challenges mainly originate from the interaction with the human factor, as stadiums are subjected to both synchronized and random motion of large crowds. The investigations in the literature on this topic clearly state that stadiums designs are in urgent need of more reliable load quantification and modeling strategies, deeper understanding of structural response, generation of simple but efficient human–structure interaction models, and more accurate criteria for vibration acceptability. Although many esthetically pleasing and technologically advanced stadiums have been designed and constructed using structurally innovative methods, recent research on this field still calls for less conservative and more realistic designs. This article aims to highlight the recent advances in this field and to provide a follow-up to the literature review covering until 2008 (Jones et al., 2011a) on vibration serviceability of stadiums structures. The article will also discuss new sensing and monitoring techniques on load-time history measurements and their regeneration, as well as crowd motion, stadium health monitoring, and human comfort analysis. Operational effects of crowds on the dynamic properties are also discussed. The article concludes with a forward look on the recommended work and research for dynamic assessment of stadiums.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Unlike most of civil engineering structures whose static and dynamic responses are estimated accurately through several codes and guidance, stadiums reserve a distinctive place especially when it comes to their dynamic behavior. This difference takes its source from several factors such as influence of crowd size, motion and slenderness of the structure. The most noticeable form of this difference shows itself as excessive vibration levels which is actually a threat to the serviceability of these structures. Eventually, it becomes essential to carefully evaluate several steps of this particular problem starting from correct representation of crowd activity through accurate loadings and human-structure interaction models to arranging acceptable vibration serviceability limits. This publication intends to point out the newly developed techniques and discovered issues on several stages of the problem during the last decade.

Novel framework for vibration serviceability assessment of stadium grandstands considering durations of vibrations
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Annoying vibrations in grandstand structures have been receiving more attention due to the increasing slenderness of the architectural components and the complexity of the crowd loading for engineers. The vibration serviceability checks under these conditions become a challenge in the design and operation stages. Regarding human comfort, excessive vibrations due to occupant activities may affect comfort and/or cause panic, especially for passive occupants who do not participate in generating excitations. Although durations of excessive vibrations have been considered as one of the most important factors affecting occupant comfort, incorporating the vibration duration in the occupant comfort analysis has not been addressed yet. In addition, the currently available approaches using raw acceleration, weighted RMS acceleration, vibration dose values (VDV), and so on may not always be sufficient for serviceability assessment due to the lack of guided procedure for calculating the integration time and implementing the duration of vibration into the process. Therefore this study proposes a new parameter and framework for assessing human comfort which incorporates the duration of vibration with conventional data processing. The aim is to better examine vibration levels and the corresponding occupant response focusing on grandstand structures. A new parameter, the area of RMS (ARMS), is introduced using the running RMS values of acceleration weighted by the frequency weighting functions. Furthermore, perception ranges for human comfort levels based on the proposed parameter are presented. The experimental study reveals that the proposed framework can successfully address the impact of duration time on determining the levels of vibrations and comfort using the proposed parameter.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research was conducted to investigate the saproxylic Coleoptera fauna found in oak trees of different ages in Mersin/Gulnar in the Eastern Mediterranean Region in 2017. Fourty-five window traps were used to sample the beetles on the oak trees. Traps were checked five times, once a month, from June to October. In total, 13 217 individuals from the order Coleoptera were collected and 242 saproxylic beetle species belonging to 44 families were found. In the material, 33 beetle species were identified as new records for the Turkish fauna. Most beetle species were from the Buprestidae (24 species), Anobiidae (23 species) and Tenebrionidae (18 species) families. The highest numbers of individuals were from the Dermestidae (2 354), Elateridae (2 325) and Curculionidae (1 531) families. The highest number of individuals were Xyleborus dryographus (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Curculionidae) and Cardiophorus (Cardiophorus) parvulus Platia & Gudenzi, 2000 (Elateridae) with 1 109 individuals each. Three species were found; namely Protaetia (Eupotosia) mirifica (Mulsant, 1842), Chromovalgus peyroni (Mulsant, 1852) (Cetonidae) and Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Euchiridae), which appear on the IUCN European and Mediterranean red list as Vulnerable (VU).
