Türkiye is located in a region where destructive earthquakes are frequently experienced due to its geological characteristics and geographical location. Therefore, considering the possibility of a devastating earthquake at any time, determining the reinforced concrete (RC) building seismic safety, constructed before or after the current seismic buildings code, is one of the most important issues to be completed firstly. For this purpose, rapid assessment methods developed to quickly determine the seismic safety of buildings are available in the literature. Comparison of the principles of Principles of the Determination of Risky Structures-2019, Column and Wall Index Method, P25 Scoring Method and Improved Discriminant Analysis Method, which are among these methods, have been aimed within the scope of this study. Within the scope of this paper, a total of 43 buildings in the Yalova/Çınarcık region of Türkiye that the damage level was determined by street observation method immediately after the 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit) Earthquake; 15 buildings with heavy damage and 28 buildings with moderate damage were examined by rapid assessment methods. Although the risk detection difference was not separated as a clear line in any of the methods used, the results obtained from the rapid assessment methods are evaluated as being compatible with the detected after earthquake structural seismic behavior of the buildings. The PDRS-2019 and column and wall index method gave the most approximate results. In the results obtained from the analyzes; structural features such as number of floors, frame continuity, soft/weak story irregularity, effective shear strength area, existence of heavy overhangs in plan, type of structural system have been found to be significantly effective on the earthquake behavior of buildings.

In molecular biology, it is necessary to develop an easy and rapid method to identify a specific DNA sequence. Though Southern and Northern blot techniques have been used widely for the analysis of gene structure and function, those methods are inconvenient in the points that we need to control incubation temperature, time, and other parameters to get the final result. In this study, we report a new method for the rapid analysis of specific DNA sequence with the modification of an immunochromatographic method. The lateral flow DNA analysis strip is composed of a sample pad, a nitrocellulose membrane for the separation and propagation of analytes, and an absorption pad for the generation of capillary action. Capture DNA was immobilized on the membrane by UV cross-linking and target DNA was labeled with Cy-5 for signaling. The samples containing target DNA were applied onto the sample pad, incubated for 15 min for separation, and scanned with a GSI fluorescence scanner. Though the hybridization reaction occurs in a short time without any washing steps, there appears to be little cross hybridization between the different sequences. The result showed a possibility that the new method can be used for the rapid identification of specific DNA sequence among the samples.

Rapid mold heating has been recent issue to enable the injection molding of thin-walled parts or micro/nano structures. Induction heating is an efficient way to heat material by means of an electric current that is caused to flow through the material or its container by electromagnetic induction. It has various applications such as heat treatment, brazing, welding, melting, and mold heating. The present study covers a finite element analysis of the induction heating process which can rapidly raise mold temperature. To simulate the induction heating process, the electromagnetic field analysis and transient heat transfer analysis are required collectively. In this study, a coupled analysis connecting electromagnetic analysis with heat transfer simulation is carried out. The estimated temperature changes are compared with experimental measurements for various heating conditions.

The present work focuses on the prediction of birefringence in injection-molded plastic part and its improvement by rapid mold heating. To calculate birefringence, flow-induced residual stress is computed through a fully three-dimensional injection molding analysis. Then the stress-optical law is applied from which the order of birefringence can be evaluated and visualized. The birefringence patterns are predicted for a rectangular plate with a variation of mold temperatures, which shows that the amount of molecular orientation and birefringence level decreases with an increase of mold temperature. The effect of mold temperature on the order of birefringence is also studied for a thin-walled rectangular strip, and compared with experimental measurements. Both predicted and experimental patterns of birefringence are in agreements on the observation that the birefringence level diminishes significantly when the mold temperature is raised to above the glass transition temperature.

In this study, Agricultural Infrastructures of Shincheon-gun in North Korea are investigated using Kompsat-2 and RapidEye satellite imagery. Target agricultural infrastructures are agricultural landuse, irrigation and drainage canals, dammed pools for irrigation and pumping stations. KOMPSAT-2 satellite imagery are use to investigate agricultural hydraulic structures and agricultural landuse are investigated by RapidEye Imagery. Geometric correction are performed using 28 GCP and QUAC method are used for atmospherical correction in all imagery. ISODATA clustering and naked-eye classification method are used for extracting agricultural hydraulic structures and Object-based analysis is applied to classifying the agricultural landuse. Extraction results of agricultural hydraulic structures and agricultural are presented and we suggest the applicability of satellite imagery to investigate agricultural infrastructures in North Korea.

We have developed facile and rapid polycondensation reactions of N-trimellitylimido-L-leucine diacid chloride 1 with eight different derivatives of hydantoin compounds 2a-h, in the presence of a small amount of a polar organic medium, such as Ο-cresol, by using a domestic microwave oven. The polycondensation reactions proceeded rapidly-they were complete within 7-9 min-to produce a series of novel optically active poly(amide-imide)s (3a-h) in high yield with inherent viscosities of 0.33-0.51 dL/g. We characterized the resulting poly(amide-imide)s by elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis (DSC, TGA, and DTG), and FTIR spectroscopy, and by measuring their viscosities, specific rotations, and solubilities. All of the polymers were soluble at room temperature in polar solvents such as N ,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

In this paper, a zero-dimensional mathematical formulation for rapid and explosive decompression analyses of pressurized aircraft is developed. Air flows between two compartments and between the damaged compartment and external ambient are modeled by assuming an adiabatic, reversible transformation. Both supercritical and subcritical decompressions are considered, and the attention focuses on intercompartment venting systems. In particular, passive and active vents are addressed, and mathematical models of both swinging and translational blowout panels are provided. A numerical procedure based on an explicit Euler integration scheme is also discussed for multi-compartment aircraft analysis. Various numerical solutions are presented, which highlight the importance of considering the opening dynamics of blowout panels. The comparisons with the results from the literature demonstrate the validity of the proposed methodology, which can be also applied, with no lack of accuracy, to the decompression analysis of spacecraft.

We describe an effective method of microchip electrophoresis (ME) based on single strand conformation poly-morphism (SSCP) analysis to rapidly detect the point mutation, Leu72Met, in a human obesity gene. The 207-bp dsDNA in the Leu72Met region, an estimate of the child obesity DNA mutant, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and submitted to a conventional glass microchip analysis with a sieving matrix of 1.75% poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (Mr 1 300 000), 1.0% poly(ethyleneoxide) (Mr 600 000) and 5.0% w/w glycerol. When combined with base stacking (BS) with hydroxide ions, the SSCP-ME provided rapid analysis as well as sensitive detection. The detection sensitivity was effectively enhanced in the OH- concentration range of 0.01-0.025 M NaOH. The sensitivity and speed of this ME-based SSCP methodology for the rapid detection of Leu72Met point mutations makes this an attractive method for diagnosing childhood obesity in a clinical diagnostic laboratory.
