Conference Object Developing Applications On-Board of Robots With Becerik(Trans Tech Publications, 2012) Kumova, Bora İsmail; Takan, SavaşRobot applications are mostly first developed on a computer and thereafter loaded onto the robot. However, in many situations, developing applications directly on the robot may be more effective. For instance, children who have not learned using a computer yet and who develop their robot applications while playing. Or for instance in the robots' operating environment, where there is no computer available. In this contribution we present the properties of the software tool becerik, for developing applications on-board a robot and for running them in multi-tasking mode concurrently. Furthermore, we introduce the programming language of the applications that has the same name becerik, which consists of only 6 commands. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Conference Object Structural Interventions for Conservation of the 15th Century Tahtakale Bath, Tire, Turkey(Trans Tech Publications, 2010) Mürtezaoğlu, Fulya; Kaplan, Çağlayan Deniz; İpekoğlu, BaşakTahtakale Bath, which is located in the town of Tire in the province of Izmir, Turkey, was constructed in the 15th.century and is one of the outstanding existing examples of Ottoman period baths. The building, which was designed as a double bath, was considerably damaged because of inaccurate interventions after losing its original function, lack of maintenance and natural circumstances. The parts which were reused have considerably lost their original characteristics. This study aims to introduce the construction technique of Tahtakale Bath, which was studied in the scope of a restoration project, and to present the studies on the determination of structural problems, structural strengthening decisions and implementations. Strengthening implementations were carried out in the bathing spaces of the men's section and felt workshop of the building depending on decisions of the restoration project. The original construction technique and materials of the walls, superstructure and architectural details of the building were consolidated by appropriate restoration decisions and implementation works. © (2010) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Conference Object Evaluation of Architectural Characteristics for Conservation Decisions of Degirmendagi, Izmir, Turkey(Trans Tech Publications, 2010) Kaplan, Çağlayan Deniz; Mürtezaoğlu, Fulya; Akbulut, Özge; İpekoğlu, BaşakHistorical settlements, which are integral parts of the cultural heritage, should be documented and evaluated with their local characteristics. The aim of this study is to document, analyze and evaluate the architectural, environmental and social characteristics of an urban settlement called Deǧirmendaǧı District, which has a historical background beginning with the Roman period to the present, in the center of metropolitan city of İzmir, on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The settlement is one of the earliest that was planned by local administration in İzmir and contributes to the İzmir silhouette with its location on a steep hillside in the township of Konak. Documentation methods used are sketches, photography and architectural and social questionnaires. Inventory cards were prepared to collect architectural characteristics of each building and the social questionnaires were comprised of socio-economic characteristics of the settlers. Data gathered at the site was analyzed and evaluated to develop a conservation approach, including historical review of the ancient era. Since the area is easily accessible and close to city center, the area becomes attractive. It has the advantage of the vista based on its inclined topography and grid-planned scheme. Deǧirmendaǧı District is a special area requiring special conservation within the city of İzmir. However, historical pattern has changed through the years because of changing lifestyle. The area, which is one of the most important and valuable districts in İzmir considering its history, location, and architectural characteristics should be integrated with the city and citizens. This study documents the present potentials and values of the area and forms a basis to prepare conservation approaches.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Studies in the Utilization of Biobased Additives as Thermal Stabilizer for Plasticized Pvc(Trans Tech Publications, 2009) Okieimen, Felix Ebhodaghe; Egbuchunam, Theresa Obuajulu; Balköse, DevrimDivalent metal (barium, cadmium, calcium and zinc) soaps of rubber seed oil and their binary mixtures (BaJCd and CaJZn) and epoxidized rubber seed oil (4.5% epoxide content) and its admixtures with the single divalent metal soaps were evaluated as thermal stabilizer for dioctylphthalate plasticized PVC using changes in discolouration indices (yellowness index and UV absorption at 360nm) and initial rates of dehydrochlorination measured at 140 and 160°C. The results obtained showed that the divalent metal soaps were relatively effective in stabilizing the dioctylphthalate plasticized PVC against thermal degradation and that the binary soap mixtures enhanced the heat stabilizing effectiveness: marked reduction in the values of the discolouration indices; longer dehydrochiorination induction period and smaller values of rate constant of initial rate of dehydrochlorination. It was found that epoxidized rubber seed oil was less effective in comparison with the divalent metal soaps in stabilizing plasticized PVC against thermal degradation. These results show that the bio-based additives are compatible with dioctylphthalate plasticized PVC, stable to heat within the range of temperature used in the processing of plasticized PVC, inhibitlretard dehydrochlorination and reduce the extent of degradation.
