İsmail Kıyak Lighting is a discipline that is necessary for all living things and determines the quality of life. In recent years, besides the obligatory use of lighting, its visuality is also considered important, and therefore the concept of lighting design has emerged. Lighting design is classified as industrial areas, highways and pedestrian roads, building facades, sports centers, shopping areas, historical areas and objects, parking lots, interior areas, and each has different parameters in accordance with standards. In lighting technology, it is desired that the design made outside of the technical details appeals to the eye. In today's lighting projects, it aims to make the environment safer, more comfortable and more efficient in terms of energy saving, by transforming the space it is in into an automation, not just lighting. In addition, lighting has been fully integrated into smart building systems and has played an active role in improving living conditions.
This book provides sectoral information for those who consider lighting as a profession to have an idea. It contains; the concept of light, types of lighting, design principles of lighting systems, lighting control techniques and principles, protocols used in lighting automation are explained and sample applications are included.

Esin Kahya, A. Demirhan Erdemir The scientific studies in the Ottoman Empire are not a very popular subject for the researcher working on the history of science and medicine. However there are some books and papers written on the scientific studies of the Islamic World. But the books which were written on the Western historical scientific activities and the dawn and rise of modern science are innumerable. The scientific studies in the Hellenic and Hellenistic periods have also been studied in detail. In other words, although there are a lot of studies on the historical development of science in the Western World, the scientific activities in the Ottoman Empire have not been adequately studied. For instance, one of the well-known historians of science, George Sarton, has written a book on the history of science, named Introduction to the History of Science in which he discusses Hellenic, Hellenistic, Indian, Chinese and Islamic scientific activities, scientists and their works. In this work he also gives useful bibliographical information that can be used for scientific studies on those subjects. But he does not give any knowledge on the scientific activities in the period of the Ottoman Empire. He also wrote books on history of science in which how gave information about the methods of the history of science and scientific improvements in the Hellenic and Hellenistic Periods. There is another famous writer on the history of science, Charles Singer, who wrote on the history of biology and medicine. We can add some other names that wrote on different scientific activities in different periods in different civilizations like Crombie’s works.

Hakan Coşkunol, Hande Çelikay Söyler After methamphetamine was introduced in our country in 2009, the prevalence of its use has increased rapidly in recent years. The fact that methamphetamine use has become the main reason for applications to addiction centers has pushed us ali to have information about this substance. In the first part of the book, information about what methamphetamine is and how addiction treatment is carried out is given, and in the second part, the transcripts of the interviews with 13 people who are addicted to methamphetamine or relatives of addicts are included. The main purpose of including the interviews in the book is to reflect the experiences of addicts during treatment and to reveal how methamphetamine use affects daily life, social life, family and work life. We hope that this book will be beneficial for individuals struggling with methamphetamine addiction, their relatives, and psychiatrists working in this field.

Firuze Güzel Postmodern period, with its denial of reality, truth, and authority, has been associated with the rise of ethical relativism. While this relativistic understanding of ethics has been zealously embraced, it is also criticized because it is considered as a search of yet again an absolute code of ethics. As a result, arguments about the need and occurrence of a hybrid sense of ethics have been presented. It is possible to see the examples of such a hybrid sense of ethics in literature, particularly in the contemporary American science fiction literature. Science fiction does not hold a limit to its themes and dwells upon numerous ethical issues that arise in its fictional worlds. In these narrations, ethics become an essential tool for maintaining existence of humans, animals, nature, Earth, or the whole universe. In his regard, this book presents an interdisciplinary study of how the postmodern perception of ethics is reflected in contemporary American science fiction novels. It creates an intersection point of ethics, ethical literary analysis and science fiction, thus providing a wide range of discussions for its readers.

Rıdvan Tunçel Human language is so miraculous that every day when we sail in our thinking ocean, we explore the charming beauties of it in thousands of islands. We are well competent enough in organizing meaningful utterances, or reading and understanding any written material. Texts on language and foreign/second language learning and teaching have been adequate in instructional market, however, sources combining the theoretical knowledge into practical ones are very few. The emphasis on the teaching of the “pragmatic competence” is very much covered in curricula, syllabi and the course-books in language learning and teaching world. Nevertheless, limited descriptive background knowledge on pragmatic competence hampers the communicative development L2 learners, workers of teaching foreign languages and ELT students. This book provides insight in gathering the linguistic and pragmatic knowledge, thereby, supports language teaching and learning.
In our constantly changing and shrinking world, language studies have been gaining gravity. The central idea of this book is to present what has been going on in the linguistic, pragmatic and language learning quarters and close the gap between the findings of the research in pragmatics and the actual foreign language teaching. The book may take the interest of all language teachers, graduate students of ELT, teacher educators, and material developers.

Alireza Navidmoghaddam This book examines cultural images of the Orient 'other' in nineteenth-century literary texts via an Englishman's lens, as such representations are important to Orientalism, the Occident 'Imperial' It argues that a holistic understanding of the Orient's depiction necessitates examining several writings by the same author; hence, it evaluates the author's relationship with the Orient. Historians concentrated on Persia and Turkey for many reasons. James Justinian Morier's birth in Izmir (Turkey) and service as a diplomat in Persia drew early attention from academics, orientalists, and scholars. This study tries to resuscitate two of Morier's novels set in the Orient, Persia, and Turkey, Zohrab the Hostage and Ayesha, the Maid of Kars. Each work examines the authenticity of Islamic Orient images. Along with Orientalism by Edward Said, the research uses The West and the Rest by Stuart Hall. His depiction of the Islamic Orient is full with admirable and corrupt persons, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction. It reveals how previous writers' oriental motifs and topoi find their most effective tone in Morier's work that describes actual Persia and Turkey.

Ali İhsan Çelik Finite element method is the way to conduct complicated scientific studies economically in a short time. Many complicated engineering problems can be solved by means of ANSYS Workbench finite element software. This book includes 9 significant chapters for students who conduct scientific studies. Many case studies were firstly calculated with analytical formulation and then model validation was done with workbench so that the students could better understand the finite element method.
In general, the book explains finite element theory, basic modeling logic, drawing techniques, mesh techniques, modal analysis, seismic analysis and impact analysis with detailed examples. Each student who successfully accomplishes the examples in the book can overcome much more complex mechanical problems. The given examples concern both civil engineering and major mechanical phenomena of mechanical engineering.

Haşim Çayır There are a lot of structures on bundles (Tangent bundle, Cotangent bundle, Semi-Cotangent bundle, Tensor bundle, etc.) and n-dimensional differential manifolds Mn. The integrability of tensorial structures on a manifold and their extension to bundles such as tangent and cotangent bundles has been an active research topic for the last 60 years. Firstly, Japanese mathematician S.Sasaki (1912-1987) studies the differential geometry of tangent bundles of Riemannian manifolds in 1958. Later, the subject of lift and bundle constantly improved. Afterward, Ishihara and Yano (Ishihara and Yano,1973) obtained the integrability conditions of the F structure satisfying the condition of F3+F=0. By and by, a lot of structures on the manifold and bundles studies by valuable authors (Tachibana, 1960; Norden, 1960; Sato, 1968; Shirokov, 1966; Vishnevskii, 1970; Kruchkovich, 1972; Salimov, 1994). Differential geometric applications of tensor operators are a very fruitful area of research in the modern study of differential geometry. However, despite its importance, tensor operators, structures and related issues are not well known yet. In addition, there are very few reference books in this field that can be referenced. In this context, all structures on Mn and bundles from the beginning to the present combined in this book. We believe that this research book will provide a systematic description of tensor operators and structure theory and especially useful in master and doctoral education.

Ferhan Sami Atalay Fossil fuels, such as gasoline, coal, diesel, are nonrenewable sources of fuel, and the emission of greenhouse gases as a result of use, create incentive to seek alternate sources of clean energy that may be produced in a sustainable manner. Thus, biorefinery systems should be established to transform renewable materials, such as wood or agricultural crops, into extra value goods such as energy and feedstock chemicals, in order to support economic sustainability.
Biofuels are fuels obtained from biomass that can be solid, liquid, or gas. Wood and crops (such as wheat, maize, and rice) are the two most common kinds of biomass. Another important type of biomass is waste such as food waste, manure, and so on.
Biodiesel, bio-oil, bioethanol, biohydrogen, biogas, and methanol are a few examples of biofuels.
In the conversion of biomass to biofuels, biological, chemical, and physicochemical processes are used. The physico-chemical approach is mostly used as a pretreatment method and does not require any chemical alteration of matter. The chemical conversion of biomass alters its chemical structure by the use of heat chemicals, catalysts, or a mix of the two. The thermochemical technique involves pyrolytic treatment of biomass to yield solid, liquid, or gaseous compounds that can then be converted to fuels (synthetic biofuels). Various types of pyrolysis, gasification, and torrefaction are employed to produce gaseous, liquid, or solid fuels depending on the reaction circumstances.
Fermentation is a biological process that results in the production of ethanol, biogas, and biohydrogen. The main fermentation process involves the use of microorganisms in a warm and wet environment to turn carbohydrates (sugar, etc) into ethanol. Sugar is normally extracted mechanically by crushing and combining sugar-rich crops like sugar cane and sugar beet with water.
This book contains information about the design and application areas of the following biofuels, as well as examples of the designs of these compounds derived from biomass.
- Solid biomass thermochemical conversion
- Oil-based biodiesel generation
- Production of biogas from agricultural waste
- Production of bioethanol from biomass
- Production of hydrogen
- Methanol manufacturing

Ömer Türker 13. yüzyıldan sonra İslam dünyasındaki ilim gelenekleri önemli ölçüde belli başlı eserler etrafında kaleme alınan şerh ve haşiyelerle devam eder. Bu bağlamda İslam düşüncesinin müteahhirûn dönemi Hidâyetü’l-hikme, Hikmetü’l-ayn, Şerhu’l-Mevâkıf fî ilmi’l-kelam, Şerhu’l-Makâsıd, Şerhu’l-Akâid, Akâid-i Adudîyye, Füsûsu’l-hikem, Miftâhu’l-gayb gibi çeşitli ilim dallarında kaleme alınan eserlerin tarihi olarak okunabilir. Bu türlü klasikleşmiş risale ve kitap yazarları arasında Adudiddîn el-Îcî’nin bilhassa zikredilmesi gerekir. Îcî, er-Risâletü’l-Vaz‘iyye, Akâid-i Adudiyye, el-Mevâkıf, Şerhu Muhtasaru’l-Müntehâ eserleriyle dilbilim, kelam ve fıkıh usûlü alanlarında yazım geleneği oluş-turmasının yanısıra ahlâk ve siyaseti teorik ve pratik yönleriyle ele aldığı Ahlâk-ı Adudiyye adlı risalesiyle de ahlâk ve siyaset alanında bir yazım geleneğinin oluşmasına vesile olmuştur. Tahkik ve tercümesini yayımladığımız şerh, Îcî'nin doğrudan talebesi Seyfeddîn Ahmed el-Ebherî’ye aittir.

Celâl Nuri Kadınlar, İskandinavya’da, pek serbest, pek nâmûskârdır. Bir kız, on sekiz yaşından sonra önlüğünü bırakır, hürriyetini yed-i nâmûs ve iffetine alır. Bir genç kimse ile görüşür, erkeklerin cem’iyyetine, meclisine mülâzemet eder; fakat kendisine mugâyir-i ‘iffet bir teklîf vukû’ bulursa:
-Efendi! Burası Paris bulvarı değil. Cevâb-ı zî‘itâbıyle insanı mahcûb ve şermsâr eder. Bu fart-ı temâs erkeklerin müştehiyâtını kesr etmişdir. Kadınlardaki merdümgirîzliği de izâleye hizmet etmişdir. Kadının erkekden bir farkı olabileceği şimâliyyûnun pek de ‘aklına gelmez. Nisâ nev’-i beşerin bir nısfıdır; işte o kadar… İsveç’de hiçbir rezâlet-i ahlâkiyyeye meydan vermemek şartıyla kadın dellâklerin erkekleri yıkaması müdde’âmızı isbât içün îrâd edebileceğimiz delâilin en kuvvetlilerinden biridir.

Gokhan Bakal, Hayri Abar, Ibrahim Ozturk, Orhan Abar Over the last two decades, the amount of existing data sources in the world have dramatically increased due largely to digitalization. In parallel, data analysis has become a crucial topic for researchers in many areas. One of the essential perspectives in data analysis is text mining. In various forms, textual data is the most generated data element compared to multimedia data. Since the available data sizes are exponentially increasing, we need intelligent computational methodologies to handle massive datasets. Data mining approaches, specifically text mining techniques, come into prominence. The application of both text mining and machine learning techniques together on data analysis provides decent solutions. For that purpose, this book is prepared with four major chapters discussing various aspects of data analysis with text mining methods, such as clustering, classification, sentiment analysis, and prediction tasks implemented in the Python programming language.

Experimental biomedical optic imaging method, which uses the lasers at specific wavelengths, is an important imaging modality for research purposes, especially for breast tumors and brain neurophysiological medical clinical applications, where the presence and absence of oxygenated blood is investigated. Some difficulties in the DOT imaging method prevented the method from being developed. The most important negative factor is that its spatial and temporal resolution is not within acceptable limits. The method was improved as a result of the steps taken by the researchers over time; on the other hand, it was not possible to be in the desired limits. The most important steps are: 1) Changing the angle of entry of source and detector probes to the tissue surface 2) Using high-density source and detector (SD) probes 3) Using only phase angle data in frequency domain devices can be counted. These studies are related to the improvement of the method. In this book, new improvements are mentioned and possible tools and equipment required to develop the method are mentioned. It is hoped that it will shed light on researchers and readers working in this field.

Merve Kayacı Çodur, Mohammad Ali Sahraei Development in the range of vehicles has become a notable characteristic of modern towns, as the accumulation of individual wealth and the requirements for transport significantly motivate the ownership and utilization of vehicles. These developments have encouraged researchers to study in this field. Although several methods associated with car ownership forecasting have been described till now, there is a lack of hybrid methods for this topic. Therefore, the unique characteristic of this research lies in the integration of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) model with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a hybrid ANN-GA. The Grey Model (GM) was also utilized to forecast independent variables from 2021 until 2040. Then, forecasting car ownership based on the best-developed network was conducted. In this regard, large-scale actual data from 1970–2020 was gathered, including population, GDP per capita, petrol price, and road length. A comparative analysis between ANN and hybrid models demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing the hybrid ANN-GA approach concerning the best performance criteria. The results of this forecasting indicate that car ownership will be gradually increased by around 36% until 2040. These results can be utilized in specific, complex, or ambiguous environments because of the flexibility in several developed and developing countries.

Serkan Kahraman, Yusuf Zorba Situational Awareness (SA) is generally described as the perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status in the near future. SA has emerged in military aviation for improving the safety and prevention of accidents. In the last decade, it was also used in user-focused areas like the civil aviation sector, air and sea traffic operations, nuclear plant facilities, off-shore oil platforms, etc. In this book, maritime pilots and shipmasters' situational awareness levels have been analyzed using a bridge simulator system and the results have been obtained. The importance of the book is to examine the concept of situational awareness for port pilotage services which are extremely important for improving maritime safety. Some of the key findings are positive effects of experience on situational awareness and those who pay attention to factors such as speed and distance in maneuver possess the highest situational awareness. In addition, some improvements are proposed in accordance with the conclusions of this book, to increase the quality of the techno nautical services used by pilots and masters.
Keywords: Situational Awareness, Marine Pilotage, Techno-Nautical Services, Maneuver

Prof. Dr. Nuri KAYANSAYAN The primary objective of the text is to help students in Mechanical Engineering curricula develop an orderly approach in understanding the obscure concepts such as the energy and the exergy of a system.

Aysun Dağtaş, Şehnaz Şahinkarakaş People experience uncertainty in every aspect of life and researchers have investigated the concept in domains of psychology and communication in various contexts such as decision-making, health contexts, business, organizational settings and relational issues. Uncertainty is also a key concept in educational settings as it is unavoidable in life and it is a natural characteristic of learning contexts. Thus, it seems significant to expand our understandings of how students experience uncertainty while language learning. From the complex dynamic systems perspective, language learning is characterized as meaning making and this process of meaning making involves uncertain situations. Considering that uncertainty is inherent in language learning, it is necessary to understand how learners experience uncertainty in the language classroom and how they manage it.

Ali Günyaktı The course of Urban Hydraulics and Hydrology is one of the civil engineering elective courses having essential practical applications in designers' life. It gives useful theoretical and practical information for the design, construction, and operation of system's elements for the supply of potable water and for the collection and transfer of municipal wastewater and storm water in urban areas. The basic principles of hydraulics and engineering hydrology are summarized firstly. Then, they are applied to the design of elements of both water supply and sewage systems.
Supplying of enough freshwater, collection and disposal of both municipal sewage water and storm water are the main problems in urban areas. People require freshwater supply in enough quantity with a satisfactory quality. At the same time, it is necessary to collect and dispose properly both the sanitary sewage and the storm water. The water supply in the required quantity and quality can be provided by correctly designed, constructed and operated certain civil structures. These consist of structures used for collection, transfer, storage, treatment, and distribution of freshwater. For the collection, transfer and discharge of both sanitary and storm water; engineers design and construct mainly underground structures. In the design of all such structures engineers use basic principles of hydraulics and hydrology.
They basically use the theory of the closed conduits under dynamic pressures for the water supply systems. The sewer systems used for the management of both municipal wastewater and storm water are indeed a closed system usually working as an open channel. For the design discharge of drainage structures engineers need certain hydrological computation.
In this book, a review of the basic hydraulic and hydrologic principles is given without going into detail. Then, three parts dealing with the basis of design for the water distribution system, the sanitary sewage collection system, and storm water drainage system for urban areas are explained. Many working examples with some unsolved problems are supplied for better understanding of the theoretical parts given in the book.

Ferhan Sami Atalay Utilities in the chemical industries include steam generation, hot oil system, electrical power transformers and electrical distribution panels, air compressors, vacuum system low temperature generators (chiller), water cooling towers, process water, waste removal systems to protect the environment. Also, all activities such as maintenance and repair activities, fire prevention and fighting systems are subject of utilities.
Heating and/or cooling of processes in factories is provided by using central systems. While the low temperatures required for the process are provided by the a facility called chiller; the cooling water used in the production process is cooled by using a cooling tower and sent to the production process. Especially in small plants, a hot oil system is preferred instead of saturated steam and hot water to maintain the require temperatures of 250 – 350ºC for process.
If industrial activities are not controlled, they can cause significant environmental problems. Global environmental problems such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, destruction of the ozone layer, acid rain, air/ water / soil pollution, hazardous wastes, sea and ocean pollution without borders endanger the sustainability of the environment and the health of human and other living species.
For this reason, it is obligatory to carry out production activities in accordance with the philosophy of sustainability and to treat the wastes that arise during these activities and cause environmental problems.
On the other hand, the safe operation of a plant is a top priority requirement. The lives of workers in the plant , the sustainability of the processes, and the environment and human health are highly dependent on the safe operation of the plant. Safety becomes even more important, especially in plants that produce hazardous chemicals.
The most important steps in the safety of the facilities are the mechanical designs of the process equipment in accordance with the standards and the automatic inspection of the processes. While various requirements, mechanical, economic and social conditions are taken into account by the designers, safety, production specifications, environmental regulations, operating restrictions must be taken into account. Proper implementation of controls increases the safety and profitability of the facility.
It is extremely important to take measures in maintenance and repair workshops and factories in order to ensure continuity in the facility, prevent accidents, and minimize possible malfunctions.
In this book, information about the design and operation problems of the following utilities is presented and examples of the designs of these facilities are given.
- Steam Generation
- Hot Oil System
- Water Cooling Towers
- Process and Boiler Water Preparation Systems
- Refrigeration System (Chillers)
- Environmental Protection Systems
- Vacuum Systems
- Electricity System and Automation
- Maintenance and Corrosion Prevention
- Safety and Fire Fighting
