  • The Origin of the Gross Alpha and Beta Radiation Values of the Waters of Çanakkale Strait (Çanakkale/Turkey)
    Kam E, Önce M, Yümün S. JOTCSA. 2017; 4(3): 729-738. RESEARCH ARTICLE The Origin of the Gross Alpha and Beta Radiation Values of the Waters of Çanakkale Strait (Çanakkale/Turkey) Erol KAM*1 , Melike ÖNCE2 and Sevinç YÜMÜN2 1. Yildiz Technical University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Physics Department, Davutpaşa Campus, 34220 Esenler/ İstanbul, TURKEY. 2. Namık Kemal University, Çorlu Engineering Faculty, Environmental Engineering Department, 59860 Çorlu, Tekirdağ, TURKEY. Abstract: This study is an evaluation of radioactivity the waters of the Çanakkale Strait. The gross alpha- and gross beta-radioactivity counts (Berthold, LB770-PC 10-Channel Low-Level Planchet Counter) were calculated for seawater samples taken from eight different regions of the Çanakkale Strait (Şevketiye, Seddülbahir, Lapseki, Kumkale, Burhanlı, Dereliman, Eceabat, and Gelibolu). In the samples, the gross alpha-radiation ranged between 0.064 and 0.046Bq/L and the gross beta-radiation ranged between 14.325 and 10.532 Bq/L. The highest gross alpha- radiation concentration was measured at Gelibolu (0.064 Bq/L) while the lowest (0.046 Bq/L) was measured at Şevketiye. The highest value for gross beta-radiation concentration (14.325 Bq/L) was measured in Seddülbahir, and the lowest value (10.532 Bq/L) was measured in Dereliman. The gross alpha-radiation concentrations measured by the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority in Çanakkale’s drinking and utility water ranged between 0.05 and 0.400 Bq/L, and the highest values (0.300 to 0.400Bq/L) were found in the Ezine county. Gross beta-radiation concentrations ranged from 0.05 to 0.500 Bq/L, and the highest values (from 0.400 to 0.500 Bq/L) were recorded in Lapseki province.

  • Map 51 Thracia Compiled by E.N
    Map 51 Thracia Compiled by E.N. Borza, 1994 with the assistance of G. Reger Introduction Mainland: see Introduction to Map 50. Islands For Thasos in particular, the harvest of toponyms and sites is very rewarding, and grows every year with the work of the Franco-Hellenic archaeological teams that continue to scour the island. The map marks only a selection of the sites that could have been shown here, and possibly a rather arbitrary one at that. As on other islands rich in towers, only a selection is marked (again, perforce somewhat arbitrarily); all are shown as forts without prejudice to their actual function (see Bon 1930; and above all Osborne 1986), except for two of the three structures identified as lighthouses by Kozelj (1989). Omitted are the potteries that seem to be coming to light with bewildering frequency (Garlan 1996). For a variety of reasons, Imbros remains underexplored.

  • Recent Data on the Effects of Sewage Pollution on the Assemblage of Decapod Crustaceans in the Dardanelles (The Turkish Straits System)
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 17(2): 90-115 (2011) Recent data on the effects of sewage pollution on the assemblage of decapod crustaceans in the Dardanelles (the Turkish Straits System) A. Suat Ateş1*, Tuncer Katağan2, Murat Sezgin3, Selçuk Berber1, H. Göksel Özdilek4 and Seçil Kolsal1 1Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Fisheries Faculty, 17100 Çanakkale, Turkey 2Ege University, Fisheries Faculty, 35100 Bornova-İzmir, Turkey 3Sinop University, Fisheries Faculty, 57000 Sinop, Turkey 4Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, 17100 Çanakkale, Turkey *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The present work was performed to have the knowledge regarding the effects of sewage pollution on the decapod crustaceans assemblage collected at depths of 0-5 m of the Dardanelles. The samples presented herein were collected on the soft-bottoms by a SCUBA diver between July 2008 and April 2009. A total of 460 specimens belong to 25 decapod species was found and among these, the hermit crab, Diogenes pugilator has the highest dominance value of Di%=74.35). Multiregression approach resulted in statistically insignificant relationship between physical, chemical and biochemical parameters of water and sediment and decapod species. Keywords: Sewage pollution, decapod community, crustacea, the Dardanelles, Turkey. 90 Introduction Sewage pollution that have been observed in all aquatic ecosystems, affecting water resources if not properly treated before discharge (Botkin and Keller 2003). The pollution in the coastal water is one of the most significant problems with regard to the activities such as fishing, swimming and the protecting of biodiversity. Recently, for Turkey, wastewater treatment is a major problem due to around 45% of domestic wastewater is dumped into sea environment (TSI 2006).

  • Turkey Mining 2018 Turkey Mining 2018
    TURKEY MINING 2018 TURKEY MINING 2018 Economy - Safety - Gold - Coal Base Metals - Industrial Minerals - Drilling - Technology - Services Dear Reader, The Turkish mining industry has come a long way since the turn of the 21st century. In year 2000, Turkey produced very little gold but now the country is the largest gold producer in Europe. Sitting on a key part of the Tethyan Metallogenic Belt, Turkey is blessed with a diverse array of minerals, including lignite and boron fields, chrome, copper, nickel, magnesium, natural stones, industrial raw materials, rare earths and gold. Turkey’s mineral exports make up US$5 billion, half of which belongs to Turkey’s mighty natural stones industry. Four years on from Global Business Reports’ last report on Turkey’s mining industry, and a lot has changed. Production of some key minerals and exploration has slowed due to a number of factors such as the global mining downturn and problems obtaining permits. At the same time, the Çöpler mine, the second largest gold reserve in Turkey, has undergone a major expansion through the Çöpler Sulfide Expansion Project. Turkey has also continued to expand its potential through the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Explora- tion (MTA)'s impressive drilling program, which achieved 1 million meters in 2017 and aimed to achieve 2 million meters in 2018. Recently, the government transferred 203 million mt of coal reserves to private players and continued large investments in the sector as Turkey aims to cut energy imports. It has been another volatile year for chrome prices but Turkey remains a vital player in the global ferrochrome supply chain, and Turkey’s potential in other metals like zinc and copper continues to attract investor interest, including from abroad.
