Th ese two faulting events are separated by a 10-km-wide releasing stepover, which acted like a seismic barrier in the 20th century. To understand the rupture behaviour in this structurally complex section of the North Anatolian Fault, we undertook palaeoseismological trench investigations on the Kelkit Valley segment where there is little or no palaeoseismic information. We found evidence for three surface faulting earthquakes predating the 1939 event during the past millennium in trenches excavated in Reşadiye and Umurca.

SİPAHİLER Abstract: In the present paper the following new species are described and illustrated: Hydroptila mardinica nov.sp. (Hydroptilidae) from southeastern Anatolia, and Wormaldia malickyi nov.sp. (Philopotamidae) and Philopotamus giresunicus nov.sp. (Philopotamidae), both from northeastern Anatolia. A faunistic list for Ordu and Giresun provinces, located in the western part of northeastern Turkey, is given. A sketch map of the localities is provided. In this region, 85 species are recorded, belonging to 19 families. Of these, 38 species (44.7 %) are known in the western part of Turkey. This area constitutes the boundary of the distribution of western species. Caucasian/Transcaucasian species are represented in this region by 25 species (29.4 %); the rate increases in the eastern provinces of northeastern Anatolia to 42.8 % (60 species).

  • Surveying Georgia's Past on the Use of Cartographic Sources For
    Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale [online] ISSN 2385-3042 Vol. 53 – Giugno 2017 [print] ISSN 1125-3789 Surveying Georgia’s Past On The Use Of Cartographic Sources For Caucasian History Patrizia Licini (Associazione Geografi Italiani, AGeI) Abstract This study represents the historical geographer’s approach to the History of cartography. Modern historians of the Roman Empire and archaeologists misuse geographical information from Ptolemy’s map of the Caucasus–Ptolemy’s 3rd Map of Asia in the standard set of twenty-seven maps, including a world map, all in the Ptolemaic model, with twenty-six regional maps. In fact, modern writers on ancient history think that the story of maps is linear–beginning, middle and end. But the case of Ptolemy is typical in that his work began to have a powerful influence in the fifteenth cen- tury. After Ptolemy’s death in the second half of the second century, however, his Geography had disappeared for a thousand years, and with it the idea of coordinate-based mapping according to a mathematical grid system. No original copies from Ptolemy’s own time have survived. A medieval Greek copy without maps only reappeared in fourteenth-century Florence, with maps first drawn by Florentine cosmographers in further copies in 1415. Here we have an antinomia, an apparent contradiction, which nothing but the History of cartography solves as “Ptolemy’s paradox”. Ptolemy’s maps of Roman Britain makes a striking contrast with the map showing our present state of knowl- edge about the British Isles. It has long been recognized as a puzzling fact that, in Ptolemy’s map of the British Isles, the shape of Britain is turned abruptly to the east from the latitude 55° north, cor- responding to Scotland, so as to make a right angle with the southern part of the country–England and Wales.

    The effects of livestock supports and external input use on profitability of beef cattle farming: 368 the case of Samsun Province, Turkey Eroglu, N.A.; Bozoğlu, M. The effects of livestock supports and external input use on profitability of beef cattle farming: the case of Samsun Province, Turkey Recebimento dos originais: 03/03/2019 Aceitação para publicação: 10/13/2019 Nevra Alhas Eroglu (corresponding author) Phd in Agricultural Economics Institution: Regional Directorate of Turkish Statistical Institute Address: Canik Municipality Mevlana campus, Samsun, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Mehmet Bozoğlu Professor in Agricultural Economics (PhD) Institution: Ondokuz Mayis University, Department of Agricultural Economics, College of Agriculture Address: Ondokuz Mayis University campus, Samsun, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Though beef cattle breeding sector has been substantially supported in Turkey, domestic demand could not been sufficiently met and price of beef meat has been steadily increased. By the way, the cost of production has considerably been raised. The objective of this study is to examine the profitability of beef meat. The sample of the study was determined by stratified sampling method from the members of Red Meat Producers Association and the cross sectional data was collected from 171 beef cattle farms via farm surveys. The results of the study indicated that the production of average beef meat was 19067 kg, whereas gross profit and relative profit were USD 60435.24 and 1.34, respectively. The breeding material (40.79%), concentrate feed (34.46%) and roughage (6.49%) had the highest share in the production cost. The cattle breeding supports raised the relative profit to 1.40.

  • Hydrogeological and Groundwater Investigations of Niksar Basin, Tokat, Turkey
    Journal of Himalayan Earth Sciences Volume 54, No. 1, 2021 pp. 69-89 Hydrogeological and Groundwater Investigations of Niksar Basin, Tokat, Turkey Syed Mobasher Aftab1* 1Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering & Management Sciences, Quetta *Corresponding author's email: [email protected] Submitted date: 03/06/2020 Accepted date: 24/02/2021 Published online: 31/03/2021 Abstract The study area comprises the Niksar Basin of Tokat district, located in the Middle Black Sea region, Turkey. The Kelkit River flows through the center of Niksar Valley. The lithological units exposed on the northern and southern parts of Kelkit River have disparate geological sequences; grouped as "Pontid" and "Anatolit" respectively. The micritic and biomicritic limestone of Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous, limestone of Upper Cretaceous, and the detrital limestone of Upper Cretaceous - Lower Paleocene form characteristic karstic aquifers. In the valley, a thick sequence of loose gravel, sand, and clayey materials of Pliocene and Quaternary are deposited. The presence of clay lenses in these materials created suitable hydrodynamic conditions for the formation of confined and unconfined aquifers. The karstic aquifers recharged through precipitation and valley-fill aquifer through Kelkit River. These aquifers fulfill the water supply demands of the entire population of Niksar Town and surrounding villages. This paper summarizes hydrogeological research conducted on all basinal formations. The Karstic aquifers and the unconfined aquifer of valley-fill sediments were systematically analyzed. The physical characteristics of the aquifer formations, karstification, occurrence, and movement of groundwater, recharge, and discharge sources, and discharge hydrograph analysis were conducted. The exposed hydrogeological formations were recharged through precipitation by 0.329x109m3 and discharged by 0.317x109m3 during the study period.

Thirteen new species and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae). 117-172 ©Wiener Coleopterologenverein (WCV), download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Koleopterologische Rundschau 79 117–172 Wien, Juli 2009 On the Staphylinidae of Turkey VI. Thirteen new species and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) V. ASSING Abstract Thirteen species are described from Turkey: Aleochara (Ceranota) simplicicornis sp.n. (Ordu, Erzurum), Aploderus transversicollis sp.n. (Samsun), Atheta (Parameotica) soganlica sp.n. (Trabzon), Borboropora myrmecophila sp.n. (Antalya), Gabrius pravus sp.n. (Samsun), Gyrophaena ciliciana sp.n. (Adana), G. cultellata sp.n. (Samsun), G. spoliata sp.n. (Samsun), Ochthephilum hamatum sp.n. (Muğla), Oxypoda meybohmi sp.n. (Kahramanmaraş), O. miricornis (Kahramanmaraş), Stenus (Hemistenus) abstrusus sp.n. (Gümüşhane, Giresun, Trabzon), and S. (H.) abrasus sp.n. (Rize). The sexual characters of several additional species are illustrated. Aleochara caloderoides ASSING, 2007 is attributed to the subgenus Ceranota STEPHENS, 1839. The preoccupied name Atheta akiensis ASSING, 2006 is replaced with Atheta albomontis nom.n. A lectotype is designated for Lathrobium decipiens CZWALINA, 1888, a preoccupied senior synonym of Tetartopeus czwalinai (JAKOBSON, 1909); its habitus and aedeagus are illustrated. A total of 39 species are recorded from Turkey for the first time, one of them, also for Morocco, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, and various European countries. Numerous new province records are reported. The distributions of five species are mapped. Key words: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Turkey, new species, replacement name, lectotype designation, additional records, taxonomy, distribution.
